Where is the family unit in Disney animation?

Disney is supposed to be the bastian of wholesome family entertainment, but I'm trying to think of the last Disney animated film with an intact family unit. Bambi's mother gets shot. Beauty and the Beast: where's Belle's mom? Lion King: uncle kills dad. Aladdin: street urchin. Little Mermaid: where's Ariel's mom? Snow White and Cinderella: absent fathers and wicked step mothers. And now Meet the Robinsons: kid gets abandoned at an orphanage... What's going on at the Mouse House??
