  1. Dumbo's mom: for giving her child wings
  2. The moms of The Joy Luck Club: for caring a bit too much
  3. Gaia, or Mother Earth: for the skies and the fields

  1. Rusty Dennis in Mask: for defending her deformed kid
  2. Moses' mom: for saving him
  3. Florida Evans from The Good Times: for her no-nonsense
  4. Whistler's mom: for being the perfect matron
  5. Hester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter: for teaching her daughter pride
  6. Marge Simpson: for her self-sacrifice
  7. The Queen Mother in Aliens: for protecting her babies
