Parents in Stories

I think I wanted to make another list beause I finished watching Tiger and Bunny. I started thinking about characters who are parents.
And yes, I like makign lists.
I know there are plenty of parent characters in literature, but there aren't that many among the books and movies that I get most into.
Well, there are a lot of parents, but not a lot of cool parents. A lot of main characters are orphans, so parents don't get mentiond. Or in some movies the parents are ignored completely. You know they're there, but they don't show up. Or they only show up briefly. Like in Charlie Brown, where the adults never show up and only squawk off screen.
Or the parent characters don't get interesting roles.
Or characters become parents at the very end.
I haven't encountered many characters who are parents from the beginning, but are also awesome and get decent roles.
So this list is me picking out some interesting parent characters from my favorite movies/books/series.


Like I said, Tiger, from Tiger and Bunny. Tiger is great. He's the main character, and he's a lot of fun.
Hughes, from Fullmetal Alshemist. He's rather similar to Tiger, in how he dotes on his daughter. XD

Willow. Will has two chldren. He decides to leave his home and his family, in order to save the world he lives in, and another child that needs protection.
In August Rush, both of August's parents have their own stories, and finally at the end, all of them come together.
Indiana Jones. Indie's dad is great.
Jean Valjean. I suppose he's not technically a father, but he becomes one to a little girl that needs him. And he goes through extraordinary lengths to keep her safe, even thought his own crazy troubles.
In the Mask of Zorro, the first Zorro (Elaina's dad) is an awesoem mentor figure.
Marlin, from Finding Nemo.
Once Upon a Time, with Snow and Charming.
Stoick + Valka from How to Train Your Dragon 2. Valka was freakign awesome.
Ponyo's parents. Heheh. Fujimoto still makes me laugh every time he's on screen.
Wolf Children. It's mostly about the mother, and the challenges she faces tryign to raise a couple wolf/human children. I wish there was more of the dad though. He was cool.
In the Disney Hercules, Zeus was cool.
The Incredibles is about the entire family, parents and kids.
Yohei's parents, from Chi's Sweet Home. The dad is funny.
Hohenheim, from Fullmetal Alchemist. He's another one who had to leave his family behind in order to protect them. But without him, they could never have won that final battle.
The parents in Totoro.
Well, in You are Umasou, Heart is a dad, right? ^-^
Animal Land has another parent who adopted a kid. Monoko, the Tanuki.
Yotsuba's dad.
In Little Women, the mother is a great source of wisdom for her three daughters.
