dimitri_is_hot's Favorite Disney Princess Couples

posted by dimitri_is_hot

My personal list:

10. Pocahontas & John Smith

Sorry for some more Pocahontas bashing, I am not doing it on purpose. They're the only couple I'm not fond of at all. The relationship only seems passionate to me. John Smith's fast change of mind wasn't believable at all. A lot of scenes were awkward for me to watch. Like when Kocoum saw John & Poca kissing and when she admitted she loved John to everyone at the worst time possible. Plus, John Smith would've shot Pocahontas if she wasn't beautiful. I just see them as two hot people who lust over each other and John Smith doesn't even bring out anything out of Pocahontas anyway.

9. Charming & Cinderella

I liked how rude Charming was to the other girls at the ball because it works in a relationship. They both make each other very happy but they're definitely one of the weakest couples out of the bunch. In Cinderella's bad situation, I think she would've settle down for almost anyone. But I do not believe Charming fell for Cinderella merely for her appearance. Couldn't he have chosen any other attractive girl before he even saw Cinderella? To sum it up, I don't think I love this couple as a whole, I just loved that Charming put Cinderella out of her miserable life.

8. Naveen & Tiana

Sure they learn from one another but the problem is that things happened way too fast in this movie for me to root for this couple. Also Naveen's change from being a player to a one-woman's man wasn't very believable to me. However, I loved the scene where Naveen was trying to propose to Tiana, that was adorable. I wouldn't call them a great couple but they have funny moments together.

7. Ariel & Eric

I think Part of Your World Reprise is one of my favorite romantic scenes in DP movies. This couple is cute, really cute, their relationship is what most young girls dream about. Eric's looking for the right girl and he has his mind set on marrying her.The problem is that they're not that developed as a couple when they're supposed to be, isn't that the point of Renaissance couples? I also don't like that Ariel was chasing Eric down. But I really do love this couple, there are just things that restrain me from putting them higher than some of the couples listed.

6. Belle & Beast

I used to have them higher but reading other people's comments about these two made me change my list. It's not about the Stockholm syndrome thing, I think that's ridiculous. Belle does not suffer from it. Beast started to become more gentle and that is obviously what really made her stay. I don't really like how he changed for her though. Not that they have to accept each other for who they are but I'm not too keen about the idea of changing for your mate. I like how they get to know each other and how Beast gives her a huge library, win! Plus, the ending scene got me pretty emotional. I think they have the most interesting love story, it's really touching.

5. Snow White & Prince

They just met and fell in love but it looks as if they were meant for each other. Prince is a hopeless romantic and I love it when he serenades Snow White. I love the ending when Prince was looking for her for who knows how long. How devastated he looked when he saw Snow White dead and how joyful he looked when she woke up. They are super sweet and cute together.

4. Mulan & Shang

I've said this before so I'll just copy and paste some of it, I feel like people misunderstand Mulan & Shang as a couple because honestly, that's just how Asians are in relationships. They balance each other out, they're not as good without one another. They're the ones who knew each other the longest and were actually friends. They went through a whole lot together and Shang changing his views was actually believable to me. Their relationship might not be as romantic but I believe it would last. I love how inexperienced Shang is and how slow they take it to the next level.

3. Aurora & Phillip

This is a great couple. Phillip was willing to give up his throne to marry the ''peasant'' Aurora. He slayed a dragon and then saved her from eternal sleep. Aurora never stopped thinking about him and I love how diligent Phillip was. I know it's a double standard to think it's good when the man does all of that work. But honestly, I just think it's much better that way, especially in a classic fairy tale.

2. Rapunzel & Flynn

I love the character development between Rapunzel and Flynn, I believe it is true love. They bring the best out of each other and they help each other find their way. I admire their respect for one another. He was willing to give up his life for Rapunzel's freedom, he actually cares for Rapunzel as a person, he doesn't just want to be with her.

1. Jasmine & Aladdin

To me, these two just work really well together and they have great chemistry. Yes, they fell in love quickly but I think their relationship is believable. Jasmine has high standards and she still loved Aladdin for who he was. Even though some may think the love they share is fatuous, they're undoubtedly much less despondent when together. I think Aladdin learned a lot because he sacrificed so much to be with Jasmine but understood how to make things right towards the end. I'll add that the balcony kiss is my favorite DP kiss.

rhythmicmagic I'm really glad to see Snow White/ Price and Mulan/ Shang in your top five, they're some of my favorites too, and they get barely any recognition! Well-written and interesting article, it was fun to read!

dimitri_is_hot Thank you :) yeah those couples definitely deserve more recognition.

Animated_Paint I agree with almost everything you said about every couple :) Love that Rapunzel and Eugene are so high up (they're my favourite) and I love that Mulan and Shang are so high too, they are so sweet and don't get enough credit. And your number 1 is awesome!

dimitri_is_hot Awesome :) Thank you!

fiina Wow, your list is unique. When I started reading I had no idea which couple would be next, you have really interesting points of them :) I also like that Mulan and Shang are so high, I agree that people seem often misunderstood them as a couple. Their "romance" is never shown unlike other DP's, the end of first movie was just begin. I think your points about Pocahotas and John make me change my list, I never thought it in a way you did. :)

dimitri_is_hot Haha thanks :)

LatinoLollipops I think with the beast he didn't just change for Belle but knowing this was his last chance to become human again inspired him a lot more (knowing not a bunch of women were going to come strolling into his castle for him to pick out who should be the one to break the curse) and could probably see there was something special in Belle he would never see in any other woman :)

_Cookie_Lover_ Your list is certainly different from mine, but you do a great job backing up your choices. I personally don't see a problem with Beast changing for Belle though, after all he did change for the better, and did honestly want to change as he fell for her. A person changing is only a bad thing when there is nothing glaringly wrong with their personality, and they change to suit another's. Beast had some terrible flaws (bad temper, being thoughtless and selfish), so I see nothing wrong with making those flaws disappear, thus making you a different, but better, person. Great list though, it's cool to see Mulan and Shang so high (even if they aren't one of my favs, I always feel bad, since I think they're neglected as a couple.) =)

Mongoose09 I like this article, yay for Aurora/Phillip! Snow/Prince aren't very high on my list, but it's nice to see them high up on someone's list. :) Jas/Aladdin are my #1 but I think I'm liking them less as a couple recently, but still happy to see them at the top! Meh, recently I feel like the only one on here that doesn't like Rapunzel/Flynn. lol (I understand why you like them, though!) I agree with the 2 comments above regarding Belle/Beast.

Swanpride I never would put Aladdin and Jasmine on the top of my list. Based on the TV-Series they might be close to it, but based on the movie, they range very low...otherwise, our lists are actually somewhat similiar, with every paring only one or two places apart form where I would put them.

_Cookie_Lover_ @Mongoose09, it's ok, I don't really care for Flynn/Rapunzel either, so you're not alone. I would have said in my last comment, but I figured it was long enough =)

dimitri_is_hot Thank you guys :) it's really refreshing to read your point of views!

maryksand It is an incredibly well written, insightful and detailed analysis I in many ways agree with despite my personal ranking not being exactly the same as yours. The points you make are valid and your criticism as well as highlight of the positive and strong aspects of each couple's relationship are legitimate. So glad to see Mulan/Shang and Rapunzel/Flynn so high. And I entirely agree and share your perception of Belle and Beast. Granted, they are a lovely and carefully constructed couple with a truly unique and layered, memorable story, however, the profoundly problematic nature of the concept behind one half of the pair changing almost fundamentally, with an excessive intensity and inorganically for the sake of impressing the other in such a drastically and unconvincingly short periode of time is a significant obstacle for them to form a long lasting and organic relationship. Same applies to Naveen and Tiana - and once again, I wholeheartedly agree with your points in regards to their romance.

dimitri_is_hot Thank you :) I agreed with most of what you said in your article too even though we don't have the same list.

lostboylover Wendy and peter pan r on the top of my list, surprised they aren't anywhere here

Jayden-G This is a very great list, and you analyzed it really well. It was fun to guess which couple would be next

dimitri_is_hot Thank you :)
