On a few occasions over the years, people have asked me, Why do so many animated films have dead mothers in them? It’s something I’ve never had a good answer for; my general response is that it’s a time-tested dramatic device, and also, perhaps has something to do with the male-dominated culture of Hollywood screenwriting.

That's important. Many times, you can tell if an animator is good based on the very first (non moving) image you see. And let's face it, Pixar (and Disney and Dreamworks and Sony and Blue Sky) are more interested in people who are good artists overall, if given the choice between two equally-able animators.
