If I Never Knew You

John Smith, made his appearance in Disney's Pocahontas.  Although, he is technically not a Disney Prince, he is the love interest of an official Disney Princess.  If you would like to read a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Listen With Your Heart."

Pros:
- Came to New World create Peace:  He wanted peace between the settlers from England and the Indians; at least in the Disney movie.
- Did not give up on peace or on Pocahontas:  He was determined to create peace and he fought for it, was captured for it and almost died for it.
- Open to learning new things:  He was willing to learn about the world through Pocahontas' eyes and see the world as earth rather than as just resources.  He was also willing to learn about the Indian people.
- Almost Sacrificed himself for peace and for love:  He was willing to die for peace and for Pocahontas, but luckily Pocahontas saved him.  However, he was injured from the gunshot of his own men and had to leave to be healed.

Cons:
- Was stubborn to see their ways: at first, he was stuck in his ways and found the ways that the Indian people did things to be absurd and wrong, which was not necessarily the case.
- He never messaged Pocahontas after he left:  He left to be healed and never contacted Pocahontas about his health or about his return someday.
- Racist:  The word savages was said many times throughout the movie.  There was even a song named after it.  Everyone who was there was pretty racist against the Indian people.  Luckily, John Smith changed his ways in the end.

A Diamond in the Rough

Prince Ali (aka. Aladdin), made his appearance in Disney's Aladdin.  If you would like to read a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Not a Prize to Be Won."

Pros:
- A Diamond in the Rough: He knows right from wrong and follows it.  He has a big heart and despite his personal struggles is always willing to lend a helping hand.  He also makes the most out of what he has and never complains.
- Keeps his promises... eventually: He eventually keeps his promise to the Genie and sets him free, it just takes him a little time to figure it out.
- Scrappy:  He knows how to get away from the guards and live on his own.
- Selfless: Even though he is poor, he gives away his food to some poor children and is polite to everyone he meets.  He would do anything to help anyone.
- Loves for love, not for social standing and money: He falls in love with Jasmine before he knows she's a princess and loves her for her, not for her money and power.

Cons:
- Thief: He does steal, but to be fair, he does have to eat to live and has to steal to eat. #OtherwiseWe'dGetAlong
- Lies: He deliberately lied to Jasmine and despite his good intentions, he should have told her.  She liked him before he claimed to be a "prince" anyways. #TeamLove
- Selfish: For the most part, Aladdin was fairly selfless, but during a time in the movie he became caught up in being a prince that he forgot what was really important and put his friends behind him instead of their needs first.  To be fair, he did learn his lesson.

For Who Could Ever Learn to Love a Beast?

Prince Adam, better known as The Beast, made his appearance in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  If you would like to read a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "A Beauty but a Funny Girl".

Pros:
- Not murderous unless necessary: He doesn't and has no intention to harm Maurice or Belle.  He only kills in case of survival.
- Willing/Open to change: He knows he needs to change his ways and is willing to try to do so after meeting Belle.
- He's open to love: He is more than willing to find love (arguably his ultimate goal), he just doesn't exactly look for it in the right way.
- He's brave: He saves Belle's life multiple times and is ultimately willing to die for her in the end.
- He has a heart and feels sympathy: He doesn't make Belle stay in the dungeon, he makes a deal with Belle for her father's life and he let's her go see Maurice when he get's sick.

Cons:
- Short tempered: He get's angry easily... very easily. #StayOutOfTheWestWing
- Demanding: He goes about finding love in a very wrong way by demanding Belle eat with him.  He needs some lessons on how to woo a woman.
- Selfish: This is how he became a beast in the first place.  He treats strangers and even his staff in a rude and selfish way.  To be fair, he was only eleven, had no parents and was probably in great emotional distress running whatever he runs as a prince when he was turned into a beast.  I would be a bit irate, irritated and selfish myself, but that's beside the point.

She Had the Most Beautiful Voice

Prince Eric made his appearance in Disney's The Little Mermaid. He also made an appearance (and did sing) in the sequel The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. He is also our very first and only Disney Prince to not sing in his movie!  Prince Eric is arguably the most handsome Disney Prince of the Disney renessiance, but that's just my opinion. If you would like to read a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "Thingamabob's and Dinglehoppers"

Pros:
- He's musical: He plays the flute, the most manly of instruments.  Way to step outside the gender norms Eric!  Every girl loves a man whose musically talented.
- He knows how to sail: Need I say more.
- He's handsome: with blue eyes as blue as the sea. #swoon
- He's kind: He takes in a mute girl on the beach, feeds her, gives her a place to stay and shows her around his kingdom.
- Saved the day: He saved Ariel's life and killed the evil sea witch Ursula.

Cons:
- Blatant: He awkwardly stares at Ariel the first time they have dinner together... seriously, right at her. #noshame

- Oblivious: He takes longer than 3 days to "Kiss the Girl" and is oblivious the fact that 1) Ariel is the girl that saved him 2) He's in love with her and 3) He was hypnotized by Vanessa (a.k.a Ursula in disguise) to get him to marry her instead.
- Bad Guesser: He sucks at guessing names.  It's okay Eric, I'm bad with names too.

Prince Eric is personally one of my favorite Disney Prince's. but I am a bit biased because I love this movie so much.  Who is your favorite Disney Prince?  Write it in the comments below!

A Sword and a Shield

      Prince Philip made his appearance in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.  He is also our very first named Disney Prince!  In my opinion, Sleeping Beauty should have been named after this dashing prince; for he does more throughout the entire movie than Aurora ever does.  If you would like to read a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "A Delicate Rose."

Pros:
- Brave: He fights through many obstacles, is captured by Maleficent and defeats Maleficent in the form of a dragon!  Way to be Philip!  That's a lot to go through for a girl.  Way to show the love.
- Wants to marry for love: He refuses to marry the princess that his father had set him up to marry because he wanted to marry for love (even though they end up being the same person).  Arranged marriages are so 13th century.  This is the 14th century for goodness sake!
Cons:
- Creepy: He kisses an unconscious girl.  What is with obsession with this?  It's just plain creepy.
- Disobedient: He refuses to marry the girl had promised to him.  This is disobedient; although he does end up marrying her unknowing she was the girl he fell in love with in the woods as well as being the princess he was arranged to marry. Every one wins!

Prince Philip played a very crucial role in the movie Sleeping Beauty.  This is a great change of pace from past Disney movies and the beginning of the princes getting a storyline and character development!
