He is Responsible for Maleficent's Curse on Aurora:
King Stefan invited all the Ladies, Lords, King Hubert, Prince Phillip and the Three Good Fairies to Aurora's christening, except for Maleficent without Stefan himself confessing his reason why he didn't invite her. After Maleficent curses Aurora, he shows no remorse for his mistake.
He Poorly Handled the Situation regarding Lack of Invitation:
As stated above, he didn't confess his lack of invitation to Maleficent. Instead, he let one of the Fairies and his wife Queen Leah to insult Maleficent. Consequently, Maleficent tricked Stefan and Leah into letting her bestow the so-called gift on Aurora. Therefore, Stefan wasn't aware that his lack of invitation would cause Maleficent to get revenge on the kingdom.

He is a Hypocrite:
Even though Stefan did support the original idea of wanting his daughter to marry Prince Phillip with unity of their kingdoms while it does have merits as he wanted to see his daugter and take their time until their children would get better accquainted, he initially objected the idea by proclaiming this plan as a shock for their children, which ignited an argument and led to a pointless brawl. He also went as far in calling King Hubert an old windbag and threaten a war with him which contradicted the original plan.

Did I miss something which makes Stefan an overrated character? Do you agree or disagree? Do you think Stefan is a good character despite his occassional shortcomings?

Now granted, Megara is not an official Disney Princess but I figure she is a prime example of caricature in a Disney film and where that overpowering style took little regard for the time period in which the story takes place. If animators attempted to use the art of caricature in Aladdin the film Hercules took it to the fullest extent.

I want to make it clear- I LOVE THE MOVIE ALADDIN, I love every character in it- except Aladdin. And finally, i'll tell you why.
I didn't really organize this well because I couldn't figure this out.
Main issues- Aladdin's sexist/classicism assumptions, and Jasmine's hypocrisy
Scenario: Aladdin sees Jasmine in the marketplace, falls for her, brings her back to his poor-boy hut, and together they have a heart to heart about how they feel trapped by their situations. Although Jasmine doesn't explicitly state that she is a princess, she does hint that it's not an enjoyable life. "Oh sure,...
