Dear Disney,
I realize that it's hard to get past 60 years of tradition but really, do you HAVE to kill the mother figure in every freaking movie you make? From Snow White to Bambi, to Ariel and Nemo it's been generation after generation of matricide. On behalf of the mothers of the world, and especially the under seven set, I beg you to show some imagination and find a new plot device.
Sincerely,
The woman trying to get her sobbing six-year old to sleep

P.s. Aside from the whole matricide part, which is not really matricide since she never actually has children, Up is a pretty good movie. Of course it goes completely over the top at times, the good are sooo good and the bad are sooo bad (oh look the Doberman Pinscher is evil, quel surprise!). But the humor is quite good and some of the scenes are terribly beautiful. Plus Ed Asner rocks.
