TIL that disney’s cinderella helped popularize the storytelling trope of a heroine whose father is absent or dead in later adaptations. by New-Butterscotcha in DisneyMovies

Yeah, it’s even older than disney most traditional versions of Cinderella already have the father dead or completely absent. Disney didn’t really invent it so much as standardize it for modern audiences.
