  "The first reason is practical, since the duration of the cartoons is 80-90 minutes and they talk about growing up - said Khan. - They are of the day in your life when you take the responsibility. Simba runs away from home, but he has to go back. In short, the character grows more quickly if you deprive his parents. Bambi's mother dies, so he has to grow ».
  
  
  
  Other studies, which gave Khan a much more somber.

  "He asked the guys from the studio to come and fix the plate, but when his parents moved to the house, there was a leak, and his mother died - says Khan. - He never told about that time, because he felt responsible for what has become so successful, and they decided to buy this house ».
