To be fair, the fathers in Kim Possible were actually treated very well, actually making them very worthwhile (in fact, Dr. Possible is a rocket scientist, and he even plays a vital role in helping Kim out a few times. Oh, and Mr. Stoppable is an Acupunturist, and actually saved his son Ron once in a rather awesome manner). I can tell you this much, the fathers in Kim Possible were treated with honor compared to, say, Oscar Proud or Homer Simpson or Peter Parker.
And hey, King Triton from The Little Mermaid, his racist bent against humans and his jerk move of blowing up Ariel’s grotto just because the latter played good Samaritan to a human aside, definitely was a very good father in that film, going out of his way to stop Ursula at any cost, and even sacrificing himself to save Ariel when all seemed lost, and in the TV series he was actually very reasonable at times (too bad Ariel’s Beginning utterly ruined him). Same goes with Eric in the sequel, who was actually very decently handled as a dad, even if the sequel was very badly written. They were certainly depicted far better than Maurice or the Sultan, at least. The former was basically depicted as rather pathetic, and even when he did manage to get awesome points of trying to go to the castle to rescue Belle, he ended up needing rescuing by his daughter instead. And don’t get me started on how the Sultan was depicted as a manchild (though I will mention that Cassim, Aladdin’s dad, was definitely a very commendable father). Mulan’s dad was also pretty cool as well, and even his being useless was at least justified by his being wounded in the past that was severe enough that if he were to go back into battle, he’d be more of a liability even under Asian honor systems.
But yeah, I can see what you mean. And since you mentioned Star Wars and the Force Awakens, I actually hated what they did to Han in the new canon, as they made him even worse of a father than Darth Vader. Say what you will of Vader, at least he had an excuse for not raising Luke or Leia. The Legends EU may not have been perfect, but at least it had Han’s change in character actually stick, not to mention be a pretty good father, for the most part at least.
The father in Brave, as well as the other men such as the suitors of the daughter, were portrayed as muscle-bound oafs. The women portrayed by the mother and daughter were smart and resourceful. Where are the male strong heroes and female weak buffoon stars in Disney toons? Not PC of course. There has been a movement over the last few decades to belittle male role models and to convince females that they can do anything they wish, but not to instill in them the realization that there are physical limitations to what they can accomplish alone and that teamwork and respect with males is more rewarding. Political correctness has run amok in the way young people are taught.
