Mulan’s mom and Simba’s mom, both, were not killed or villainized.

Edit: holy crap RIP my inbox. Keep the overlooked Disney moms coming though. @op could probably use a comprehensive list.

Edit 2: wow, my first award! Thanks everybody!

Emperor's New Groove is elite Disney and deserves to be given the praise it rightly deserves.
