“The greatest gift and honor is having you for a daughter.”
The King of Arendelle from Frozen
The king's heart is in the right place — his daughter has a mysterious power she can't control that almost kills his other daughter and he just wants to protect them both as best he can. But he panics and shuts Elsa away from the world, all while encouraging her to bury her emotions deep within herself, causing her to lead a life of extreme solitude. And he of course keeps it all a secret from Anna, making her believe all these years that her older sister's aloofness is because of something she did. It's a miracle both women turned out OK in the end.

King Triton from The Little Mermaid
Ariel gets a terrible rep for being ready to abandon her family for a guy she's never met. But, in all fairness, wouldn't you when your dad's reaction to your natural teenage rebellion is to go into A TERRIFYING, DESTRUCTIVE RAGE? Sure, he gives Ariel her legs (and, thank God, her space to go with that), but it takes, you know, an entire film and near-death experiences for all the main characters to get there.

The Sultan from Aladdin
UGH, where to begin? Sure, he seems cuddly on the outside, but he obviously doesn't connect with the common people of Agrabah, since Jasmine has to wear a disguise just to hang out there and feels cripplingly isolated as a result. He also is obsessed with arrange-marrying Jasmine to some dud (doesn't seem to matter who) and, oh yeah, is dumb enough to let himself be manipulated by Jafar all these years. JASMINE'S FACE IN THIS PHOTO SAYS IT ALL.

Chief Powhatan from Pocahontas
Chief Powhatan's an all-around good guy. Despite losing his wife, he isn't overprotective of Pocahontas and generally has an emotionally healthy relationship with his daughter. Yeah, he doesn't have the best taste in suitors for his daughter (Kocoum would've been a terrible fit) and he does nearly kill her boyfriend, but he knows how to listen and learn from his daughter, especially when she's like "y'all are idiots, war is dumb." He's a solid dude.
