Disney Daddy Day Read More »
While it's certainly hard to find maternal figures in Disney movies, you needn't look hard to find paternal figures! Thus, I give you, Disney Daddy Day! We look at the paternal figures, and evaluate their good parenting moves, and their bad.
Thanks to IMDB for the quotes.
Chief Powhatan from Pocahontas
While based (very) loosely off of an actual person, he still has some good parental advice to give.
Best Daddy Moment: Listening to his daughter's advice about hate, intolerance, killing, blah blah blah. I mean, listening to your children is always encouraged, yet not always portrayed. And he is one of the rare dads in fiction (sort of) to have done that. Kudos Chief!
Worst Daddy Moment: Arranging a marriage for his daughter without telling her. I get that was the time, but couldn't you have at least let her know before asking the dude?
Best Fatherly Advice: The song "Steady as the Beating Drum (Reprise)". Mostly because it's sung by Jim Cummings. The guy you've heard EVERYWHERE. Chief Powhatan. The fictional character with a non-fictional name.
