Sorry do be a Debbie downer, but in keeping with Fairy tale tradition, children seldom grow up with both parents. Meaning, I think either Snow or Charming will die. I know that Henry also technically has both parents, but has lived most of his childhood with only one parent. On the other hand, let’s consider real life intruding on our storytelling. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jared’s real life family has decided to take Jared back to California and let him go back to a normal life until he’s older.

It’s common Disney tradition too. Disney characters have lost one or both of their parents, either before or during their films.

Snow White: Lost both of her parents, and was raised by the Evil Queen.

Pinocchio: Was raised by sole parent, Geppetto.

Bambi: His mom is shot by a hunter.

Cinderella: Mom passes away, and her father gets married to Lady Tremaine. Her father then passes away, leaving Cinderella with stepmother Lady Tremaine and her two stepsisters.

Sleeping Beauty: Rare case where both of Aurora’s parents stay alive, but Aurora is still raised without them.

The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s mother was killed prior to the film, with the details of her death explained in the direct-to-video prequel “Ariel’s Beginnings.” She only has her father King Triton around.

Beauty & The Beast: Belle’s mother is not around, and she only has her father Maurice.

Aladdin: Aladdin neither has his mother and father around. However, Aladdin’s father is discovered to be alive in the direct-to-video sequel “Aladdin and the King of Thieves.” Aladdin still thought his father was dead, and the audience initially assumed the same.

The Lion King: Mufasa is infamously killed onscreen and dies right in front of Simba.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Frollo murders Quasimodo’s mother, prior to him reluctantly adopting Quasimodo.

Tarzan: Both of Tarzan’s parents are killed off at the beginning of the film.

The Princess and the Frog: Tiana’s father dies during WWI.

Tangled: Both of Rapunzel’s parents are alive, but she is raised without them for most of her life.

Frozen: Anna and Elsa’s parents are killed off in the first few minutes of the film.
