Disney Princes Part 1

Hey there! This week we're talking about the ever popular topic: which Disney prince would be most dateable? We know this has been done a plethora of times, but we figured it was about time we added our humble opinions to the mix. First up, we have Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty.

Well, Princess Aroura [AKA Briar Rose (AKA Sleeping Beauty)] has gotten herself all up in a mess by falling under a spell and being put to sleep for years and years. The fairies decided that they should just put everyone else to sleep too, so that it's.... fair? I don't really know, but maybe I just need to re-watch it. Anyways, somehow the lovely Prince Philip, who has a stellar singing voice FYI, didn't get put to sleep and has decided to free the princess from the horrible spell... but this guy is familiar... wait just a sec! They've already met! Once upon a dream? Nope, straight up in the forest. He decided to sing along with the princess in a slightly epic, yet slightly terrifying manner. How would you feel if you were jammin' in the woods and some random dude found you and started singing along?

Awkwaaaard.....

I guess it wasn't terrifying, just a little creepy. Although, he was trying to be all friendly and stuff about it, but still... but wait, he was also the kid in the beginning that thought the princess was icky! They are meant to be together, apparently, but neither of them knew that in the forest... So anyways, everyone is asleep, Philip fights the crazy witch/ DRAGON (I'd like to see price Eric do that...) and finally decides to wake up the pretty, pretty princess by kissing her... was it just normal back then to kiss random princesses if they're under a spell? Heck, just people or things in general, like the frog prince? So remember children, if you think someone is under a spell, just lay it on them, and you'll have saved their life!!!... or get a restraining order against you.....

Well, hello there....

We found Prince Philip to be....... DATEABLE. I mean he likes to sing and dance in the forest, that's rather fun and adventurous. It makes him seem like a light-hearted, carefree kind of guy. Heck he'll even dance with his dad!

Aw, so cute! He is super courageous since he freaking killed a crazy powerful witch/ dragon that was breathing fire at him and junk! He probably should have said "hello" to miss Briar Rose before getting all up in her business, so we can see he's a little forward, plus the whole imma-kiss-you-on-the-lips-even-though-you-don't-know-me thing... but it's whatev. He likes to hold conversations with his horse because that's how he rolls. He seems to have some boy-ish charm as well: fun-loving and happy. So let's total the score.
Good:
1. carefree and fun
2. good singer/ dancer
3. brave and adventurous
4. handsome (that just comes with Disney princes, right?)
5. boyish charm
Bad:
1. kind of forward


And since it's the week of Thanksgiving (the US holiday where we pretty much eat because we can and are thankful for it), our pie charts are PIES!!!!!

Well there you have it: a prince that will dance his way into your heart. Next up, we have Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid!

Our princess, Ariel, is a mermaid that lives under the sea in a giant palace not too far from a land kingdom, where we find Prince Eric. He apparently likes to go sailing, since he is out at sea and falls overboard. Ariel, who wishes to be human, saves Prince Eric from drowning and sings to him until he starts to regain consciousness.

What the heck happened to his pants that they got that tatters falling off a ship??

So Eric wants to marry the mystery girl who sang to him and rescued him from drowning. The only problem is, when Ariel finally gets her wish to be human, she sacrificed her voice to Ursula, the giant sea-witch. So he finds Ariel and takes her to his palace where they tal- oh wait... they don't talk... but they do go on a lovely romantic boat ride where they stare at each other and almost kiss. So you would kiss a girl that you just met and has never said a word to you, let alone had a conversation with you? Regardless of laryngitis or whatever he thought might have been going on, isn't that kind of...forward or socially awkward or something? Can we just play this scenario out for a second?

Girl: ....
Boy: So.... seen any good movies lately?
Girl: ....
Boy: Yeah... heh... I uh... I just saw Thor... That was... that was good... *cough*
Girl: ....
Boy: ....
Girl: ....
Boy: *leans over and kisses girl*
Girl: What are you doing!? Stop!!
Boy: Oh... uh ...sorry.. I uh... thought you wanted to....
Girl: I haven't said a thing to you all night and you think that means I want to make out?
Boy:..... The crab told me to!!


Although, I will say the subliminal messages from all the talking animals might have made him act on feelings he may not have acted on otherwise.... and okay, sure we can accept body language as an indicator that Ariel wanted to kiss him I guess. She was making a lot of kissy faces at him... Although, he doesn't know her, so why is he so hyped to kiss her face? They've never even talked about themselves. He JUST found out her name! Okay, i guess he's a dude, and dudes like to kiss pretty girls, so there's always that... but wouldn't it be awkward when she never says anything? Do awkward situations = romantic feelings for Eric? Maybe that's why he doesn't want to marry her... I think the whole scenario is pretty wacked out, but I thought I would rant on it a bit.
 He is pretty romantic, though, for coming up with a moonlit boat ride. Very clever, Eric... plus he was pretty good at talking to Ariel even though she couldn't reply. He used his princely charms to woo her and still add some levity to the situation.
But once Ursula appears with a new body and Ariel's voice, the prince dips out and pursues "Vanessa". Whoa! changing your mind pretty rapidly there huh, princy? I can only assume from this that Eric either a) has no experience with women, or b) has a LOT of experience with women... you're choice. Either way, he thinks he has finally found his perfect woman and wants to marry her. Dang, dump the chick you were just going to kiss for some chick with a sweet pair of vocal chords.... is it just me or is he a little bit flouncy? This fickle guy is trying to find his perfect lady, and ladies usually aren't perfect, so he's going for as close as he can. He knows Vanessa for a really, REALLY short time and they decide to wed. Whoa... this guy is stoked to get married, huh? That, or he just doesn't believe in long relationships if he isn't going to marry the person, and if he is, then it's happening ASAP. 
But Eric is pretty easy going, I mean, when he's with Ariel, he let's her drive the carriage, he just laughs it off when their romantic boat gets flipped over, and he thinks it's funny how she uses all the human things wrong, mostly the pipe when she blows soot and tobacco all over Grimsby... so he also has a sense of humor.

Good:
1. Romantic
2. Pretty charming
3. Easy going
4. Sense of humor
5. Gotta throw in that handsome Disney Prince-ness


Bad: 
1. Perfectionist with women
2. Moves rather quickly in relationships
3. Submits to peer pressure from crabs/ other aquatic animals


So so so so so here is your pie chart my little love muffins!
