While most animated Disney movies seem to like having heroes whose mothers are dead, Pixar has given a remarkable number of intact families over the years.
We also get an emotional moment from Brave, a film all about mothers, as the relationship between lead character Merida and her mother, is central to the entire story.
While the recent Finding Dory did not reunite mother and daughter until the ends of the story, we got several flashback sequences showing an attentive mother was trying to help her daughter who was struggling with a disability.
