History of Cartoon Moms
Walt Disney was the pioneer studio to use mom characters in animated movies dramatically. Bambi, for instance, is a 1942 picture in which the protagonist’s mother dies right away. But the history of cartoon moms is full of good to evil personas serving the storyline noticeably. You can find more examples in modern 3D animations, such as Nemo’s mom – whose death starts the movie’s events.
Different Types of Cartoon Moms
The premise of the quiz on this page is to answer, “Which cartoon mom are you?” But before that, we would like you to know the different types of animated mother figures.
TV
One of the most popular types of cartoon moms is found in TV shows. Take Marge from Simpsons as an example. She is one of the most beloved characters of all time. But the thing is that mothers in adult animated shows are usually grey and imperfect. You might see them having a drinking problem like Miriam Pataki in ‘Hey Arnold!’ Or you might come across one such as Queen Dagmar of Disenchantment, who has absolutely no maternal feelings at all.
Disney
The type of mothers you see in the Walt Disney movies are usually the actual heroines of the story—even if they pass away or leave. Take Perdita in the 101 Dalmatians (1961), for example. She is a kind and lovely cat who takes care of more than ninety puppies without complaining for a second.
Anime
Japanese animated movies or shows are slightly controversial when it comes to mothers. You can find both kind and soft mommies as well as dark and scary ones. And the sky is the limit when categorizing Japanese mothers in cartoons.

Fun Things to Know Before Taking the Quiz
We are still scratching our heads like, “Which cartoon mom are you?” But that does not stop us from offering some fun facts about the cartoonish mommy characters in the history of TV, comics, and movies.
Wifu VS. Cartoon Mom – Know the Difference!
Japanese anime shows are not afraid of creating controversial personalities. And that has led to the formation of many extraordinary and sexually attractive female characters. The term Wifu is one way to refer to a fictional personality that you have a crush on—or wish to be your wife. Many anime moms deserve this title, and fans love them. Take Mrs. Brief from Dragon Ball Z as an example. She is a hot young mother with lots of fans all over the world.
But the term “cartoon mom” is a general phrase to refer to fictional female characters with babies. The said character does not necessarily need to be sexually attractive to earn the title.
Why do Most Cartoon Moms Die? (Seriously)
Many animated films start off with having the protagonist’s mother pass away if you think about it. But what is the real reason for that? Don Hahn, a Disney producer, says, “We only have 90 minutes. And we need the actions to begin almost immediately. The main character needs to accept responsibilities and grow up as soon as possible in the story. It is much easier to force your character to grow up when you bump off the parents.”
What Are Some Characters Who Lost Their Moms?
Some famous animated characters without a mother are Bambi, Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Cinderella, Snow White, Pocahontas, and Nemo.
