The Original Prince Charming

      The original Prince Charming was featured in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  He is the first Disney prince and is the first of two "Prince Charming's."  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "An Apple a Day."

Pros:
- Sings: He can sing, so he's got that going for him.
- Strong: He is also capable of lifting Snow White out of a coffin and lift her onto a horse, that could come in handy.
Cons:
- Pedophile: He kisses a 14 year old, unconscious girl in the woods.  It's a romantic gesture, but also slightly creepy.  FYI - he is supposed to be 21 years old.
- Stalker: She has never met this man before and he shows up on her doorstep, climbs over a stone wall and serenades her.  How did he know where she lived?  This feels a bit skeptical to me.
- Does absolutely nothing: Besides true love's kiss, the prince does absolutely nothing in the plot of this story.  Where was he when she was almost killed?  When she ran away and ate a poisoned apple?  He must not have cared that much.

We don't learn much about Prince Charming as a character in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  So even though it may seem like he doesn't have much going for him, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and bet he has a nice personality.
