Phillip isn't just willing to break an engagement to a princess: he tells his father he's willing to abdicate his crown and give up the entire kingdom to marry a "peasant girl." He and Aurora may not have had much development, but that shows great commitment and devotion, IMO. He's my favorite of the early princes.
He’s the best of the original 3. Still not a fan he “loved” Aurora because she’s hot. But he was willing to fight the mistress of all evil even before she became a dragon just to save his princess.
I love Philip. He wanted to marry for love not for a title. He also loved her no matter what. He fought a dragon for her! All alone with no army. Thats true love ❤️ 😍
I am SO GLAD it was acknowledged that Ariel was interested in humanity in general, not just Eric because a lot of times people say Ariel wanted to be human for Eric alone as if she didn't sing a whole song about wanting to be human before ever seeing him!!!!!
Yes she expressed wanting to learn more about a species her dad completely hated, but her desire to learn more very quickly fizzled out after she got married and became a mother.
Seeing Rapunzel and Eugene on the top of that list. I FEEL SO VALIDATED. We all knew this, but it's nice to see more people realizing the facts. I loved them in the Series... they always found a way to talk through things... even if it took them a minute to admit, even if they had childish moments... Rapunzel and Eugene are GOLD standard of open communication, forgiveness, sacrifice, and affection.
I agree. Despite they only spent 2 days together, I’m willing to forgive that because they didn’t really like each other at first, especially with him trying to scare/trick her into going home. But especially with her saying she prefers Eugene Fitzherbert over Flynn Rider I feel meant A LOT to him, being accepted as a orphan who just wanted a better life. Also the fact he panicked as soon as he figured out how dangerous “mother” was, was so impactful, especially when he kept pushing her hair away from his wound, trying to show he isn’t ok at all losing her
I always dislike it when people say “oH bUt fLyNn is A ThiEf aNd a LiAr” I always snap back with “but have you watched /The/ show? Have you?” And I get so close to going off about how understanding they’re are to each other, gives space, respects boundaries, knows how each other are and how they handle stressful situations, Eugene & Rapunzel are the best Disney couple. I would place Kristoff & Anna second tbh lol or Tiana & Naveen
I feel just as validated and we will not tolerate Tangled slander. honest: *makes a sequel to “Why The Princess and the Frog is a Terrible Movie” called “Why Tangled is a Terrible Movie” and a prequel called “Why The Disney Renaissance - 2000e Were the Worst Eras of Walt Disney Animation Studios” and gets demonitized*
Agree! They and Pocahontas and John Smith are my favorites! Pocahontas got the most romantic quote, Rapunzel got the most romantic scene (and almost kiss if they did on the boat damnit) and both got the most beautiful love songs!
@@aracelichely2954 actually I’m working on a rewrite for both on wattpad if you’re interested! Literally the only times I watch Pocahontas 2 is just to make fun of it and get around writer’s block. But yeah it’s actually the only Disney movie I completely hate except for Where Do I Go which is a beautiful love song
I agree that rapunzel and Eugene are a great couple, and the most healthiest, but if we’re talking about Disney’s it couple it has to go to belle and beast.
Yeah but Beast still kept Belle as a prisoner in his home, separated her from her family, and tried to punish her with starvation for not going to dinner with him.
@@stephaniegreenwood4007 True, and she didn't come around to him until he later saved her from wolves. Belle wanted nothing to do with Beast until he started being nice.
@@365ral I know that it was common, hell inevitable, but I meant it as "it was 1991, would they really curse a *child* in a movie ??". Plus, in the painted windows of the opening narration, he looks nothing like one. Admittedly, that doesn't mean anything, but my point about cursing a child still stands. It's more like because it's a fairytale, you shouldn't actually think about these things, they don't matter.
I feel like Aladdin and Jasmine should have been bumped up a bit higher due to an episode of the Aladdin animated TV series where Aladdin is willing to turn himself into a snake creature (seemingly forever) just to be with Jasmine after she is similarly cursed. It just shows how devoted they are to each other, especially since the entire episode revolved around Jasmine worrying that Aladdin only liked her for her appearance.
I was thinking about that!! I was wondering if it was a fever dream though...I think I saw it on one of my Princess DVD collections? With an episode of Ariel, Belle, Jasmine...and so on
If I remember the episode correctly it started with Mirage discussed as a human woman vendor that sold Jasmine a bottle of some ounments or something you put on the boddy, but it slowly turned her into a snake creature and the only cure was to eat some pear shaped fruit from some kind of a rare tree. And when they was close Mirage cheated and made that the tree and the fruit would rot away. And when Jasmine was prepared to leave Aladdin he putted some of the ointment thing on him self and turned into also a snake creature. I don't know what he says in english but in the swedish dub he says:"If we can't be together as humans, than let us be together as this."
@@travisboutilier2220 I think he thought it was funny because the grandma either misheard what Mulan said or she was just adding her question on top of Mulan's when Mulan asked Shang if he wanted to stay for dinner.
@@philipkippel3615 Kida isn’t black, but more kinda Mediterranean inspired, considering Kida’s queen robes. She’s more kinda an alien type because of her realm’s advanced technology. But their relationship is so cute, considering Milo isn’t a “handsome” prince, but a mousy bookworm and Kida is a kickass warrior princess determined to restore her world
Honestly I loved Cinderella 3 it gave the characters so much personality and development, Specially with prince charming he went from a blank slate to an actual charming and funny character
Mulan and Shang will be fine. They learned from the mess Mushu caused, even forgave the little guy enough to combine ancestor shrines so he wouldn't be demoted again.
I agree. I don’t like how they’re lower. Yes Shang can be stubborn and a bit hotheaded, but the sequel actually showed realistic relationship growth, that despite they had different opinions in certain topics, they still ultimately loved each other, including Shang sacrificing himself to save her
Official Disney "princess" aside, the best Disney relationship is Pacha and Chicha from The Emperor's New Groove. Also Hercules/Meg, Tarzan/Jane, and Simba/Nala.
Tarzan and Jane are literally perfect and made for each other, they respect each other’s worlds even if they don’t know it very well and Jane’s presence lets Tarzan know about his origins, something that he never knew about. Romantic relationships aside, I think the parent-child relationships are veeery good also. Tarzan with his mother and Jane with her father, Tarzan literally has the best character chemistry in Disney ever
I do remember loving Kriatoff and Anna as a relationship, but in the sequel I got a bit frustrated due to the lack of communication and how it was one sided, yet I do find myself loving Adam and Belle too. Maybe it’s just me liking couples that has clear problems cause it feels more realistic? Idk
Kristoff and Anna was just a problem because they clearly were having writing issues on plot focus. Not to mention such practical and grounded Kristoff, who lived through the first movie, wouldn't naturally try to get in the way of his girlfriend worrying about her beloved sister; just keep her out of danger during the trip again. The engagement could've easily been done in an hourly special and the sequel actually focus on Elsa, the northern tribe, their parents, and Anna taking up the throne.
I wanted to know where Pocahontas relationship with John Rolfe stands in this list. I'm also surprised you didn't mentioned Pocahontas not being with John Smith in the sequel since you mention the other Disney sequels at all. A Disney character, let alone a Disney Princess, changing romantic partners is rare in Disney films.
I did not, Pocahontas's relationship with that stuck up aristocrat didn't need to be seen or herd, it's was bad in every way imaginable so it deserves to be ignored. Romantic partners should not be changed in Disney movies.
@@travisboutilier2220 no, you’re wrong. Feelings should be normalised. People can stop feeling affection, they can eventually find another partner. That’s completely normal and people shouldn’t feel wrong for their feelings. Yes, it’s wonderful to believe in “happily ever after”, but you should know that it may not happen, to not be broken and spiteful afterwards.
I wouldn't call Cinderella and the Prince's relationship shallow in the first movie, firstly Cinderella didn't even know she was dancing with the Prince and the Prince married Cinderella knowing she is a kitchen maid. For Snow and the Prince, I believe they knew each other before. Snow White sings "Im wishing, for THE ONE I LOVE to find me today" And the Prince sings "now that I FOUND YOU hear what I have to say" implying they know each-other. The book Fairest Of All also confirms this, that they were secretly meeting before, and then there was a gap and then Snow was forced into servitude . The reason Snow got startled was not because he was a stranger but the fact she was embarrassed to be seen in rags. We see her fixing her hair and straightening her clothes when reappearing to him again confirming that. And also the Prince didn't care she was in rags "wait don't run away" And after they were separated we learn that the Prince "searched far and wide for the maiden" for months so I wouldn't call their relationship shallow either. And kissing someone you love and believe to be dead goodbye, I don't see anything wrong with that. :)
Oh interesting! I never realized that about Snow White and the prince. The huge issue I see with their relationship though is that supposedly she's 14 and he's 30-something? That's so creepy! If they were both around the same age though, it would be really sweet :)
Um with Snow White, he literally says “Hello. Did I frighten you?” If they knew each other he should’ve just said her name or something that implied he knew her.
@@kristinahuchison2511 I don't know, it makes sense for me, if they were strangers maybe he would have said "Did I frighten you mam/ms", the way he said it to her sounded casual with a sense of familiarity
Seeing Rapunzel and Eugene at number one made my day. Not only are they Disney's healthiest couple, they are one of the healthiest couples in modern fiction in general.
Honestly they are! Actually they’re my favorite Disney couple than Belle and Adam or Jasmine and Aladdin. Those were ones I actually remember watching when I was younger. My other favorite has always been Pocahontas and John Smith
I think they were complletely ruined in the series. Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I just don’t get it! And what's worse is that it seems Like she only changed her mind about marriage because Stalyan wanted him which makes it seem Like she only wants him when another wants him which is so toxic! And If she considers being married to him to be a prison then I dont get why the hell she is even still with him If he is that horrible! Flynn deserves better! He was dumped down so much and turned into a complete simp while she seems complletely uninterested in him! I hate this stupid series!
@mariechen4375 To be frank, Rapunzel was still wiping of the dust from staying in 1 tower for 18 long years, and she knew Eugene for 6 months as of the start of the TV follow-up. Which somewhat comes off as valid, and some extra growth was probably necessary. Finally, Stalyan's interference is kind of like Rapunzel not knowing what she had until it was gone.
it hurts me how they destroyed Anna and Kristoff's relationship after watching the deleted scenes of Frozen 2 with that magnificent song of the two of them, They even propose marriage to each other. But of course, in its place a silly song of Kristoff singing with some reindeer.
I know and also that scene where Anna and Kristoff actually have a proper conversation about their relationship. But no they cut all the good meat out… and for what? Just to show a one sided relationship.
honestly i am not that fond of them and how nowadays "strong" fl (as if not every fl is) always get with the dumb himbo. kristoff got reduced to that trope
There is a small Sleeping Beauty follow up in comics where Maleficent returns, as well as a short movie where Aurora plans a party for Phillip but has to consistently talk the 3 good fairies into letting her do things for herself. The latter shows her commitment to the relationship, however I haven’t read the comic to tell you how much they develop during their follow up story.
I personally think you guys were too harsh on Ralph. I’m not going to act like he wasn’t clingy, but it makes total sense given his backstory. He was completely alone for 30 years, he lived in a pile of trash because he wasn’t welcome in the apartment complex, and he faced prejudice for something he had no control over every second of his life. He finally found someone willing to look past all of that and become his best friend. When faced with potentially returning to his old life it brought him to a panic. If you went through 30 years of trauma wouldn’t that make you kind of desperate to hold on to your friends too? I’m not excusing Ralph’s actions, I’m just saying he should at least be cut a little slack.
@@andrikfelix6507 True, but most people don’t redeem themselves by fighting a giant, physical version of their insecurities to save their best friend’s life and sacrificing their own happiness so their best friend can pursue their goals.
That's true. I don't think Ralph is a bad guy and he clearly has some issues due to his past, but that can still mean the relationship isn't fully healthy
Prince Eric iris such a good person. Not only is he kind, gentle, and loving to Ariel, but the guy actually sailed a shipwrecked ship through a maelstrom to in order to save her, proving just how loyal, brave, and determined he was to save her. He was truly in love with Ariel, the girl who saved his life and was willing to sacrifice his own life as long as he saved hers. That is why Prince Eric is my all time favorite Disney Prince. He was a true hero.
Give Ralph some slack. He's just like Bruno. He was shunned by his family and friends for a long time. I admit what Ralph did was really messed up, but I understand why he tried to ruin Slaughter Race
In his mind at the time He did it to prevent the destruction of an entire gaming World and to avoid to kill or make thousands of characters stranded between the games, so He did what every hero wouldve done. About the second movie there He was totally childish and acted out of character.
It took away all of Ralph’s development in first movie and Venellopee also seemed a bit selfish as well let her game she was in charge of die because she was bored.
I always admired Mulan and Shang and I think it’s because they always showed me the definition of realistic love in the sequel because it’s like your gonna argue your gonna have your ups and your downs your gonna have your wants and their wants but in the end you know that you love each other and your willing to do anything for one another. I also like it because they didn’t get married right away even though we didn’t see the development we know it’s there it’s the same with Rapunzel and Eugene I don’t think I spelt his name right but with them we did
To be fair I think their relationship is quite good not gonna lie. Maybe I’m just a dumb Asian that really wants representation but yeah. Mulan and Shang are way way more accurate then most relationships in this list. Everyone fights in any sort of relationship. People are gonna have disagreements. There’s nothing wrong with standing with your beliefs you don’t have to agree on everything but that’s just my opinion so
@@SimplyComi I mean same with in a way Aladdin and Jasmine in Return of Jafar, but definitely with Pocahontas and John Smith when he accidentally called her a savage and is trying to backtrack because she got mad, rightfully so and he’s trying to call her one without actually saying the word, and she flat out called him out on his bs that he knew exactly what he meant. Same with Rapunzel and Flynn, they don’t really argue but they do end up opening up after almost drowning and empathize with their similarities in loneliness
I'm glad you called Raya and Namari out. Like I'm all for queer representation and people being free to interpret characters however they best relate to them. But those two would have an exceeeeedingly long way to go to being a stable couple...or even a healthy friendship. She might be trustable in a diplomatic, #not-all-fang-tribe kind of way, but Raya would be right to be wary of giving namaari access to state secrets ever again. Heck I'd be wary of being alone with namaari ever again after that escapade.
I agree! I would rather have Raya end up with literally anyone else but Namari. She is just SOOOO Toxic in my opinion and l whenever I saw them I was not like "hey Raya you should kiss her! "it was more "hey Raya you should punch this jerk!" Raya and Sisu have a healthier relationship PLATONIC OR ROMANTIC, and sure Sisu is an idiot from time to time but hey. she is Raya's idiot!
@@travisboutilier2220 I’m sorry but you are wrong. Love is between multiple people who want to commit to loving each other. And if you don’t agree you obviously are not worthy of love.
Exactly, Rapunzel and Eugene are the best couple ever with development, commitment, are comunicative, and they saved each other. They are great even tn the movie and series even more developed them, complited movie and it's so coherent. They are brilliant role models not only for kids. 💕 btw I think Tangled including series and short movie is the best thing Disney has ever made perfect wholeness, great, quite mature plot, characters, music, many threads also pshychological. The best
@@kristinahuchison2511 I saw many Disney series and honestly this one is the best. I was at first skeptical about this show before watching it because sequels of movies in TV are always tacky so I thought it'd have ruined the best movie from my childhood. When I finally decided to watch it that became binge wathhing xD I was so hyped despite of when this came out despite I was late teen, maybe it was increased because this is my childhood movie. And it looks like directors create such quite mature and universal plot to gather also those first movie fans and put a lot attention to polish everything. Perfection 😀
@@Anik-ge9vg actually I really liked it dug into mature themes too. Like the episode Attila the cupcake baker was accused of destroying a bakery next door, almost in a way kinda stereotyping all because he never takes his helmet off and is shy too, but Rapunzel fought for her friend! Or even she actually has deeper daddy relationship issues than Ariel and Triton, considering her father was hiding secrets about Old Corona, which is connected to her hair. Or even the part Rapunzel is forced to put the safety of Corona’s people over the kid from S1 (can’t remember his name) and he grows to resent her because of how much his village suffered. I also really love how patient Eugene is about getting married, just wanting Rapunzel to be happy and she’s stuck with him! Plus his love/hate relationship with the captain of the guard and Cassandra is hilarious
@@kristinahuchison2511I think this stupid TV series completely destroyed their relationship..

Are you serious? Pocahontas and John Smith? Bro he spun some stupid story that Pocahontas was in love with him, and essentially kidnapped her and had her baptized in Europe. She was *11* he was *28.*
I love Rapunzel and Eugene but y'all clearly haven't seen Tiana and Naveen's relationship from the Princess and the Frog, if you think they're ult info: Naveen was a happy-go-lucky playboy who's been cut off from the trust fund because of his constant partying and so he sets off to marry a rich man's daughter to stay rich and he falls in love with Tiana (istg yall should see the movie) and what really gave it for me is that scene where Naveen wanted to propose to Tia but ends up stopping himself because he wanted to fulfill Tia's dream of opening a restaurant and he can't do that without marrying himself off to have money. Plus, Naveens character development from Trophy husband material to just zaddy you can depend on is amazing. Princess and the Frog is sooooo underrated, it has some of the best characters in it. The romance was not just 100000000/10, the friendships in it were amazing too T.T plus Tiana's independent woman character which was rather uncommon during the era the movie aired
Yes!!! Princess & the Frog is one of my all time favourites and it took me until last year to finally watch it 😁 I love it so much & their relationship is so adorable & sweet
Maybe this is a nice idea🙂: Disney Brotherhoods: Healthy to Toxic: Most Healthy: Hiro & Tadashi (Big Hero 6) Grey Area: Patch and the other Puppies (101 Dalmatians) Most Toxic: Mufasa & Scar (The Lion King)
There is a comic of an eliminated scene of Snow White where she met prince Florian on the horse stalls and show them chatting on a very romantic way... That would explain why he showed up and started to sing to her about love bc they met before and he fell in love with her
Belle and Beast should be waay higher. Their relationship was difficult and unusual, but i don't think it's toxic. Here's my opposite view from the ones pointed out in the video : 1st. Beast snapping at Belle at their early stage of relationship ? I wouldn't call it a relationship at all because they didn't have any back when he was all 'beasty' to her. Belle traded places with her father and had agree to stay forever. She didn't want anything to do with Beast because he was the jerk who locked up her father. And Beast initially viewed her just as a tool to broke his curse. So early on, they both weren't in a relationship, at least not romantically inclined towards being a couple. Who would call this 'non existent relationship' as toxic ? They were strangers who happened to be beneath the same roof for one night. Belle even run away the same night after the whole West wing fiasco. They only came to a better understanding after snapping AT EACH OTHER when she was treating his wounds. I wouldn't call their efforts to 'try knocking some sense into someone who just saved your life' toxic. I also wouldn't call them friends at this point because they weren't. They were just two people who barely knew each other and just saved each other lives (Beast saved her from the wolves and Belle saved him from dying in the cold). 2nd. Beast didn't let her go until after her father's at the death door. Beast DIDN'T know Maurice has gone looking for his daughter and got stranded in the snow storm. He found out the moment Belle herself did, through the magic mirror. In a sense, he was the one who helped her find her father's whereabout. And he let her go to him even without Belle asking him to. There's no guarantee she would come back but he ler her leave. Not even mention anything about his impending doom and the curse If he didn't let her go, or let her go but make her promise to return, then it could be a toxic relationship, because that means he only wants to use her. But he didn't ask anything of her AT ALL. He was willing to sacrifice himself and all his servants for her freedom, something she already traded for her father in the beginning. So, i would say the toxic relationship in the movie was NOT between him and Belle. It was between Beast and his servant. For they love him unconditionally for years and he took their love for granted. He almost let them became furnitures forever when he let Belle go. He chose Belle's happiness over theirs and the servant didn't blame him one bit for it. After all their longing to be human again, after putting up with their a-hole master for so long. Beast didn't even apologize to them for jeopardizing their future like that AFTER making them endured the curse for 10 years! He really does take his servant for granted till the end. That's what i called a toxic relationship. Lucky them everything works out for a happy ending. Conclusion : Belle and Beast doesn't have a toxic relationship. Beast was a toxic person before yes, but his toxic relationship wasn't with Belle.
I completely agree with you . I am already bored of this videos talking about Belle and Beast as a Toxic relationship ( and all that stupid Stockolm Syndrome thing). BUT , I disagree about the relationship of Beast and his servants ; because at the end it was a co dependency relationship . It was a monarchy and the staff lived I the castle so they had food and hostage while they served to the prince . Of course the Beast barely cared about them after Belle leaved because he was Depressed, even SUICIDAL if you think he merely put any resistance against Gaston. When he returned to be a human , he treats them very kind and cares about them , is happy to see them as humans too. Depression can seriously affect our senses , people with that condition often doesn't care of others not because they are evil or toxic , it's because of a mental crisis that even them can't explain
@@ingridsuperfreak Don't worry i hated that as well. Only redeeming thing that movie got was the music. Nothing else. Both of them(Belle and Beast) were jerk and had a terrible personality in the live action.
I think, especially highlighted in the second and third movies, Aladin and Jasmine have a more realistic relationship than many of the others. Aladin especially is a flawed guy, and they both know it, but neither of them let that ruin the relationship. I think the jewel of this paring is the song, "Forget about Love" for all the right reasons. In a nutshell, the primary thing that sets their relationship apart that the others don't is Forgiveness. And no, since we see Aladin genuinely trying to improve himself, he is not being abusive to Jasmine simply because he needs a lot of forgiveness.
My favorite moment of the King of Thieves movie is after Aladdin springs his father, when he knows that if he goes back he'll be arrested, he still snaps at Qasim that "I *won't* walk out on Jasmine!" A lot of Aladdin's character flaws, even his dishonesty with Jasmine, can be traced back to his feelings of abandonment and all the survival skills he had to develop to compensate for not having anyone to look out for him. He might still be very flawed and have a lot of maladaptive behaviors to unlearn, but he's been high-empathy/compassionate person from the start, and the fact that he's willing to accept punishment just to keep Jasmine from the anguish of not knowing what happened to him/second-guessing whether he really loved her* says a lot about how he's grown as a person and partner over the three movies. * Not to mention that, with this utterance (and his conversation with Genie at the beginning of the movie), he's becoming cognizant of what the root of his problems are...and while recognizing you have a problem is the first step, understanding where it comes from is the most significant step, imo.
For the info… prince Florian was supposed to fight a dragon for Snow White. It was planned. But Walt felt that it would both make the film too long and bump up the animation bill beyond being able to manage paying for it. At the time, nothing like Snow White had ever been done. So Walt had no way of knowing for sure that it would bring back a good enough return to warrant paying for the extra cels that would have gone into the prince’s arc.
I personally don't like to count Prince Florian and Snow White as a couple: Here is my reason...... There is a theory out there that Snow White actually died at the end of the film and that the prince is supposed to be Death. In older legends, Death wasn't just portrayed as a skeleton in robes and a scythe, he could take on any form and was symbolized by doves and rode a white horse. Many people also believe Snow White and Florian's relationship to be creepy considering the age of the prince is in his 30s while Snow White is 14. But what if I told you there was never any romance with these two characters? Death doesn't approach people to be romantic, he approaches people with the intention of leading them to the afterlife like a polite escorting gentleman. He never said to Snow White "Oh I love you so much!" He says"Now that I found you, I have but one song, only for you", he is trying to politely tell her that her fate is coming soon without scaring her. When he kisses her, it is the kiss of death, the final step to taking her to heaven. How else do you explain the castle in the sky at the end? I truly do believe this theory because I used to be creeped out by the prince as a kid. After hearing this theory, my feeling creeped out as a kid makes SO MUCH sense, since he's literally the Grim Reaper.
@@thecookiecrumbsinpercyshai8685 Thank you for that info! I wasn't aware of that tbh. I always thought he was much closer to her age, as I was never very good at telling people's ages. To me, he just looks like he'd be in his later teens/early 20's.
@@torytellstales That might be true but I sort of doubt the possibility that Walt was going for that. Only because he leaned in on pushing it as a romance quite a bit outside of the film. That's still some really cool info though! I'd honestly always had the opposite effect. haha I always found Prince Florian really charming and as it turns out, I also happen to have an odd crush on the Grim Reaper. rofl Although that honestly probably started with watching The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy for me. XD
@@CosplayCore yeaaa but still any 18-20 year old dating a 14 year old is a pedophile, ten to one saying if their own age group doesn’t want them they are probably bad news
I hadn't thought Kristoff and Anna would be so low, because I had always thought of Kristoff as doing really well on that front, but now that you're pointing it out, it is almost entirely Kristoff being the good s/o
I disagree a lot with this list... you guys held too high the couples that didn't have any discussions or troubles. That means that those couples are the least realistic of all. They don't even know each other that well. The first couple is the best one, not gonna lie. But for example: mulan and shang had problems because (aside from mushu) they are human beings, different from each other and that is right, it's healthy to have differences, and they fixed it...which is the point of it...
I mostly agree with Ariel and Eric and Cinderella and Charming. Eric fell in love with her voice instead of who she was without it, and Ariel was so sick of her daddy’s overprotective rules she was ready to give up everything for someone she didn’t even know aside he played the snarfblat and had a dog. Otherwise even revealing she was a mermaid was rather dangerous as well. Cinderella and Charming, Cinderella herself is an excellent character as she had to go through hell with her stepfamily but was kind and compassionate determined one day things would change. But he’s easily my least favorite prince, he doesn’t actually go out himself to find her, relied on a shoe despite KNOWING several women would probably fit it, and doesn’t even give the Grand Duke a physical description of her either! Even counting 3 he was spelled the entire time Anastasia was the one, I don’t really count jumping out a window or chasing a ship as heroic. My only problem with Tiana and Naveen is becoming human again I would’ve thought they’d wait until AFTER Tiana’s restaurant was built to get married, using the money made to pay for their wedding instead if Naveen’s royalties as prince. Imo Pocahontas and John Smith definitely deserved the silver. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are definitely best couple!
@@kristinahuchison2511 I don’t agree. Eric fell in love with Ariel for who she was that’s why it’s my favorite Disney Princess movie. Eric didn’t believe that Ariel was still the girl that saved him because of her missing voice but he was willing to give up looking for the mystery girl to be with Ariel hence why he throws the flute into the ocean. Ursula literally intervenes because she realizes Eric is falling for Ariel all over again. For Cinderella, it would take your case of not for Cinderella 3. Because of magic the shoe does fit another girl and the Prince comes in apologizing for the mistake until he put under a spell. I think people who don’t like Eric and Prince Charming are under the impression that if another girl had the voice or another girl fit the shoe they would marry them but if you’re paying attention to the movies that’s wrong. The voice and the shoe were their only way of finding them. If multiple girls fit the shoe the Prince would have looked until he found Cinderella. Eric didn’t even need the voice he still fell in love with her anyway.
@@tinysailor well personally I disagree, considering he almost married Vanessa because she had her voice. Yes he was spelled, but upon hearing Ariel actually talk he was determined it was her. Plus her desire to learn more about humans very quickly fizzled out when she married Eric. I still don’t believe falling for her voice was good enough
I don’t agree with like 90% of it the Mulan one was probably the one that made me the most upset. Relationships are going to have arguments it’s normal. Nothing is wrong about standing with your beliefs. Understandable why Shang (sorry if I spelled that wrong) didn’t want to trust Mulan as much due to the fact she lied to get into the army.
@@travisboutilier2220 uh...nor is Aladdin, or christoff, or Eugene. Actually most of the guys the princesses end up with aren't. The princesses aren't all royal blood either, like Mulan. He's still awesome, though.
@@geocelta1961 well but for cases like Aladdin, Eugene, Belle, etc. they marry into royalty, so they become a prince/princess. Nani and David don’t marry into royalty, nor were they born as royalty
If this had been a list for Disney relationships in general and not just the princess ones, I would argue that Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable's relationship is up there with Rapunzel and Eugene.😊
Okay, so… You guys know that being willing to sacrifice everything for someone who you just met a few days ago is a bit of a high standard, right? I agree that Disney doesn’t always get it right or stable, but I think they generally do a good job of pitching in some diversity to romantic developments and romantic relationships
Shang and Mulan 🥰, yes they were fighting a lot but none of them was perfect and in the fact they have almost maches personalities. Can we look on the bright side? They were madly in love with eachother. When he ,,died,, in Mulan2 Mulan was so broken. And the way Shang's eyes lights up every time he sees her..
I find it amusing that while Rapunzel and Eugene's starts with her hitting him in the head with a frying pan, Ana and Hans's ends with her sucker punching him in the face.
I personally would have put Anna and Kristoff relationship as toxic. It’s kinda obvious that Anna is just not ready for a relationship and due to the trauma with Hans she just jumped from one guy to another due to the trauma. And sadly due to frozen 2 the lack of communication, common ground and it being so one sided I think we all agree that they will either end up resenting one another or break up…. To be honest Anna and Kristoff reminds me a lot like those couples that work better as friends than them actually being married. Even Disney friend zoned them all the time!!! We almost never see Kristoff and Anna together and in best friends day instead of using a picture of Elsa and Anna or Anna and olaf or anything like that…. They used Kristoff and Anna. (I was like wait… aren’t they supposed to be engaged?) like if even the company that made them friend zones them then I think it shows what people think of their relationship.
I agree. Kristoff was lecturing her about marrying someone she only knew for one night, but ironically thats the same amount of time she had with him, while yes they don’t get married in the end, still kinda the same problem, so in a way Kristoff is a hypocrite. I really wish Disney would make a prince and princess that they maybe do have feelings for each other but in the end agree just to be friends instead, not because they love someone else or anything, just they don’t feel that way about each other. And no I don’t count Pocahontas and John Smith in that trope from the ending or that stupid sequel. But yes Kristoff even talked about not trusting humans after his sled was destroyed, but then all of a sudden “loves” Anna at the end? Like dude only thing you did was save her from falling to her death 2X and your family trying to perform a wedding and you’re arguing you 2 aren’t a couple?
I don't agree and honestly I don't see how did you get that idea. The company have made pictures of them together as a couple (there's one very cute where Kristoff is lifting Anna and they are looking each other romantically) and they had a very good development at the end when he said he was with her for anything she could need and she apologized for leaving before him. They are one of the most beautiful couples, I am just sad his kiss was not as romantic as others but hey, they kissed and I am happy ^^
@@kristinahuchison2511 How can be the same problem when Kristoff was lecturing anna because she was going to marry a guy the same day after meeting him but at the end Kristoff and Anna didn't get marry? :/ The problem is not necessarily falling in love in one or two days, the problem is wanting to marry someone you don't know AT ALL. Kristoff didn't want to marry Anna after saving her life (which by the way is kind of a big deal for me) but after spending several months with her and having a thing called character development, that's why he learned to trust humans more, Anna help him to do that, and that's why they are one amazing couple :')
@@aracelichely2954 I disagree. He literally got so excited because she kept her word about replacing his sled “I could kiss you!” What I mean is the events in the first literally end in 2 days, and all of a sudden Kristoff loves her? I said yes they don’t get married in the first, but his love kinda came out of nowhere, especially when he made the comment about not trusting others. This is literally the same problem I have with Pocahontas and John Rolfe, they were stuck on a ship together for 4 damn months which was 4X the amount she had with John Smith, but the writers literally didn’t work with that time, even when they arrived in London it’s obvious they have a platonic relationship and don’t “like” each other. He started getting “feelings” for her when she was plastered in powder and in a hideous ballgown to whitewash her to make her appear more civilized/English. In other words, John Rolfe “loved” the civilized Pocahontas, while John Smith always embraced her as a Native American princess who was a free spirit like him who fought for what she believed in!
Are you forgetting that there’s another movie Frozen 2 and by that time they have spent more time together probably a year or two .In Frozen 2 there’s a part where Anna is about to go confront the ice giants or whatever to break the dam and Kristoff rides up and says to Anna “What do you need,I’m here for you” . Also did you conveniently forget that Kristoff was willing to give Anna up because even though he lectured her on marrying a guy she just met he still thought Hans was Anna’s true love. Also Kristoff does ask Anna to marry him in Frozen 2 which it seems you haven’t seen because you would know they get married
Personally I see some of these pairings overcoming hurdles in their relationships before they reach contentment. I never saw ANYTHING toxic in their relationships.
I mostly agree. Except for Raya and Namaari. I don't even know if we can call their relationship toxic because they were barely friends, more like enemies that turned into maybe-possibly-friends-once-they-rebuild-their-trust. I mean, relationships between enemies are toxic by default, we can't expect them to be healthy (unless it's something like Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz). Don't even get me started on the supposed romance the shippers see there but I just can't, not even if I squint.
Anna also had a sheltered ass childhood because of her parents decision on how to handle Elsa's powers by locking the two girls up, so while it doesn't move them out of that grey area it is also something to consider from Anna's perspective, she just didn't fully develop some social skills.
I was hoping Raya and Namarri would be the most toxic. I wanted to get invested into their relationship, but Namarri just kept double crossing Raya throughout the movie. Like so many other people, it was so hard for me to take the movie's Trust message seriously.
Naveen and Tiana are a great example of a couple who gradually bring out the best in each other as they become closer - definitely one of my favourites! 🥰
I read somewhere a theory that the prince in snow white is actually a reaper, and sow white died after eating the apple...so from the beginning she was actually courting death or death was courting her, a death introduced by a beautiful prince she pictured.
Here's the thing •Moana and Maui •Venelope and Wreck it Ralph •Raya and Nammari Are not in a relationship. They are just friends and just because they are an opposite gender doesn't make them in a relationship and Venelope is WAY younger than Wreck it Ralph so if they were in a relationship Disney would get in big trouble. And Raya and Naarmi it's a little dangerous to say they are in a relationship because they never really had that kind of spark.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first language, so here's some linguistic nuance for you that hopefully Google translate can pick up: The word "relationship" in English is not synonymous with "romance". It means the emotional status between two or more people. A mother and her children is a "relationship". Having friends is a "relationship". Having an enemy is still a "relationship", because it's how you relate to that person, positive or negative or anything in between. This video very explicitly clarifies that it means the hero and their main relationship as explored by their respective movies. So regardless of their romantic interests or lack therof, it's interesting to explore how characters 'relate' to one another, and the comparitive health of that relationship. That's what this video is aiming for, not trying to claim all these people are in love or should be a couple.
Florian was 31. Snow White was 14. They are the BOTTOM of the list and the most toxic of the toxic. Other than that, I respect that yall acknowledged Prince Eric was not the main reason, just the excuse, for Ariel to go to the surface.
I keep seing this. It's just not correct. According to Walt Disney's own notes at the time, Snow White was indeed 14, but Prince Florian was 18! A relationship between a 14 year old girl and a 18 year old guy isn't exactly uncommon.
@@vger4781 Not uncommon but 14 & 18 is still very different maturity wise. A 14 y/o is basically still a child. An 18 year old isn't a full blown adult (except legally), but they have life experiences that the 14 y/o hasn't had yet, which gives them power over the 14 y/o. The power balance is off. If I had a 14 y/o kid I wouldn't let them date anyone over the age of 15.
@@vger4781 as someone who was a 14 year old girl in a relationship with an 18 year old guy, it's still gross and the imbalance of power is wrong. Also I can't find any source other than quora answers saying he's 18. I can't find anything on Walt Disney's notes denoting Florian's intended age and he definitely doesn't look like a teenager in the original film. I would have guessed mid 20s if not older due to the voice acting sounding much older than Snow White's. Do you mind pointing me in the right direction for your source on his notes?
@@chaoticgoodgh0st286 i was 14 dating an 18 year old and it was the most abusive relationship of my life. You're very accurate. By the time I hit 18 and looked back at 14 years olds, all I saw were kids and I fully understood just how bad it was that he targeted me.
How are Phil and Kelly toxic? Also where would these pairings rank: Alex and Mason Maddie and Diggie Maddie and Josh Holden and Andie Holden and Liv Joey and Willow Cody and Bailey Teddy and Spencer
Kim/Ron Supremacy.... Lizzie and Gordo may be grey, sure, but I still love them. BUT WHY THE PHEELY DISRESPECT THO? I can't seem them being anything less than Grey. (Also bonus for healthy relationship that was never made official: Riley/Farkle from GMW)
@@ohifonlyx33 were Riley and farkle really that healthy though? Regardless of how Riley felt at the end of the show, despite neither her nor Maya showing interest, he kept hitting on them for ages
I'm so glad that Anna's toxic behaviour was called out. Anna WAS hyperfocused on Elsa and her problems. She made Kristof behave differently around Elsa to avoid upsetting her. Like madam focus on your relationship with him for more than a minute at a time
Rapunzel was exactly the Same in that stupid series and she wasn't called Out! Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me??? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I Just dont get it! I agree about Anna but I think it's unfair only to call her Out on it and Not Rapunzel who did the exact Same Thing!
I'm not sure I agree with most of these standings, but maybe I'm not understanding your thought processes. Are you ranking the couples generally or based on what was happening on the screen at that very moment? A good example of my confusion would be Mulan 2, which was why you had ranked them so lowly on your list - the entire point of that movie and arc for the characters was learning when to compromise and communicate better. When the movie ended they had learned that lesson, making them a much stronger and healthier couple. I definitely wouldn't consider rough starts as examples of grey or toxic relationships. Another example of what I'm talking about being the Beast snapping at Belle early on in their relationship - you said it yourself: it was early on in their relationship & then they learned and grew together. (Also, the Stockholm thing has been debunked 100 times over. That isn't what Stockholm Syndrome is.) Sorry if my thoughts are scattered! I just genuinely don't understand where some of these placements are coming from based on the reasoning given. It doesn't seem very well thought through in my opinion. *Edited for grammar
I feel like Adam and Belle should've been put higher. I do see the flaws in their relationship, but let's not forget that Adam was a beast! Their love was technically impossible in the first place! After so many years of loneliness and having to accept that no one will ever see you as more than a beast, something that deep down you weren't, I understand why he was a little grumpy. Cut the guy some slack! At least he's willing to work out his issues to be worthy of Belle. Isn't that what love should be about: helping your partner grow and develop as a person? Also let's not mention as he always saw her as his better half and thought he wasn't worthy of her. That's selflessness!
No one remembers the Aladdin TV show?! Jazz and Al got a whole lot of screen time. Jazz was rescuing Al as much as he was helping her. At one point (Spoiler) he decides to curse himself to be the same animal she was cursed to be, even tho she had told him to go on and live his human life without her. Dang, they were awesome and romantic and such a power couple.
Kristof is a very healthy husband. He stalls the issue when he sees that she needs space putting her firs. Doesn't question and, ask immediately what she needs. Is super supportive and just an overal sweetheart
In the movie, Rapunzel and Flynn’s relationship is this wonderful, heartfelt story where they both grow together, and they make sacrifices for one another. The whole point of their love was that they both saw each other for who they really were, flaws and all, and accepted each other completely. Flynn was willing to die for her at the end of the movie because he knew exactly how much she meant to him. And Rapunzel, in turn, chose him and chose freedom, a love she had never known. They were two people who learned from each other and complemented each other, making their love feel real and strong. But the series completely reverses this, and it destroys what made them such a strong couple in the first place. In the series, Rapunzel isn’t just ignoring Flynn-she’s treating him with this weird, passive disregard, like he’s not important. She lets Cassandra-her supposed best friend-belittle him, and instead of defending him, she just stands there. It’s as though Flynn’s feelings and emotions are secondary to Rapunzel’s, which is absolutely toxic. It’s baffling and, frankly, it just hurts to see her treat Flynn this way. The character arc that worked so well in the movie is completely discarded for the sake of drama in the series, and it doesn’t feel authentic to the characters or their original dynamic. The Problem with the "Rejecting Marriage" Plotline The whole marriage rejection plotline is one of the worst things the series did to the relationship, and it makes zero sense when compared to the movie. In Tangled, Rapunzel’s willingness to give up everything for Flynn, including her freedom, was a powerful moment. She loved him deeply, and that was part of the movie’s central theme: love is about selflessness and compromise. It wasn’t about her giving up everything, but rather that she was willing to face a new life, a new future with him, even if it meant the unknown. Then, in the series, suddenly Rapunzel doesn’t want to marry him? She treats marriage like it’s some sort of prison, even after she almost lost him in the movie. It’s like the show wants to tell little girls that marriage is a "trap" when, in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The fact that Rapunzel keeps rejecting Flynn’s proposals, knowing full well how much he loves her and how much she loves him, just doesn’t make sense. It’s not a healthy relationship when one person is so clearly not on the same page as the other. Relationships require compromise from both sides, but in this case, Flynn is constantly the one who has to bend and change. That’s not fair to him, and it’s not fair to any real-life relationship either. The idea that marriage is a "prison" or something negative, especially when they’re so deeply in love, is a dangerous message. It teaches kids that love and commitment are burdens, rather than something beautiful and life-affirming. And it sets unrealistic expectations for relationships. If you love someone, the natural progression is to want to be with them for the long term, including marriage. Rejecting someone’s proposal multiple times just shows they’re not on the same page, and honestly, that’s when a relationship should be reevaluated. It’s heartbreaking to see Rapunzel treat Flynn this way because, in the movie, their love was so pure and mutual. But here, Flynn’s wishes and feelings seem to matter so little, and that’s not a healthy dynamic at all. Why Rapunzel’s Actions Are Toxic Rapunzel’s behavior in the series is toxic. She’s passive, inconsiderate, and at times, outright mean to Flynn. She does things that are disrespectful-like drawing his face on a punching bag for Cassandra-without any acknowledgment of how hurtful that would be to him. It’s not something she’d do in the movie. It’s like the series wanted to make her "strong" or "independent," but they did it in the worst possible way-by making her selfish and unkind, which is completely the opposite of what made her a great character in the first place. relationships where one person is always the one compromising and giving in can’t work. Flynn deserves better than to constantly be the one who’s expected to be okay with things Rapunzel doesn’t agree with. It’s just not fair to him, and it creates a dynamic that’s unhealthy. No one wants to feel like their needs are being ignored in a relationship, and Flynn constantly being forced to let Rapunzel have her way, even when it means his feelings are hurt, is just... wrong. Why This Isn’t Healthy or Realistic This kind of dynamic is not healthy, and it definitely shouldn’t be promoted, especially to kids. The idea that relationships should be a constant struggle where one person is always "giving in" to make the other happy doesn’t work in the real world. If both people aren’t truly committed to each other and equally invested, then the relationship is bound to fail. Kids watching this might think that relationships are about letting one person always get what they want, and that’s just not true. Relationships are about compromise, respect, and working together, and that’s not what we see in Tangled: The Series. What Disney Should Have Done What Disney should have done is keep the integrity of the characters from the movie and not force unnecessary drama into their relationship just to fill a TV series plot. They should have taken the time to explore their post-movie life in a way that felt authentic and true to who they were as people in the movie. Instead of writing Rapunzel as someone who pushes Flynn aside and treats him poorly, the series could have focused on them growing together in their new roles as a couple, building their life together as they face new challenges. That’s the story we wanted to see. Not one where they’re constantly at odds, not one where Flynn is belittled and Rapunzel is emotionally detached.
6:05 I don’t think that Moana & Maui are a couple. Just like with Luca & Giulietta, these two seem like close friends to me. Then again, it is called Disney princess relationships, not Disney princess couples.
@@travisboutilier2220 i disagree. Not every disney movie needs to have the main characters get together. Plus ive heard theories that theyre related so that makes it awkward
@@Celeste-jh2lj I don't care if you disagree. yes every Disney movie does need to have the main characters get together, it's a tradition that needs to be maintained. they are not related.
I really love the relationships for Rapunzel and Eugene, Aladdin and Jasmine, Belle and Adam, Cinderella and Charming, Tiana and Naveen and Mulan and Shang also I love the relationship for Anna and Kristoff but mostly the relationship of Rapunzel and Eugene their relationship were good in Tangled and Tangled the series.
Where's Phoebus and Esmeralda and Tarzan and Jane!? (I'm more pissed they forgot Tarzan and Jane because they would be VERY high up on the healthy list due to how devoted they are to each other in the TV series)
Neither of them should be on this list cause Esmeralda should have been with Quasimodo instead and Tarzan should have went to England with jane instead of staying in the jungle.
@jf k that shouldn't have happened, Tarzan going to England is the better option. humans belong in civilization, not a hot, sweaty jungle where everything can kill you.
@jf k It should matter what i think. i don't mind that they became a couple, i just want them to go to England where they belong, not stay in the jungle where animals belong. not on this list. i judge Disney characters on who they end up with and where they choose to live.
prince naveen and tiana is my fave Disney couple, their character development is just so good and i love how he respected Tiana's dream to have a restaurant
For the people who hate Mulan II (like me), I'd really recommend the new Mulan Book "Feathers and Flame"; it's set a few years after Mulan I and tells a way better love story than Mulan II did
I think Hercules and Meg should be the bronze metal of healthy because yes Meg did tried to kill Hurcules she supports him even when she thought she has no weakness she was happy and tells Hades to get another girl and they both tried to sacrifice their lives
I feel people are a bit too lenient on Ariel and Eric's relationship. He is clearly well into his 20's while she clearly states she is 16. I don't care that that's how they did things back in the day. I find that to be HIGHLY concerning.
At least he isn't in his 60s. you should care cause things were better back then without all these stupid laws. it's not concerning, you're just a coward.
Not just them, but the whole Atlantis franchise as well. the official sequel and tv series got cancelled cause it the movie didn't meet Disney's expectations at the box office, which is so disappointing, cause it had so much potential.
@@GubbiGap They made a direct to video sequel, which was three episodes of the cancelled tv show, though i wouldn't recommend it, it's so heartbreaking to watch it knowing it could have been something even more.
16:41 THANK YOU!!! OMG!!! If Disney thought that they would make us appreciate this couple for being together now, they are wrong. And for multiple reasons; 1.) Namaari backstabbed Raya and caused all of Kumandra to be overrun with Druun. 2.) Tried to hunt down and kill Raya multiple times for 5 years. 3.) Backstabbed her once again when having the pieces and accidentally "kills" Raya's best (but naive) friend. 4.) Gaslights Raya for being responsible for Sisu's death for not trusting her, when she did and Namaari herself didn't trust them to begin with. While Raya and the Last Dragon was a good movie when it came to the story, the character development was horrible.
I have a problem with them, they choose to stay in the hot, sweaty jungle instead of going to England and living an aristocratic life like civilized people.
Im glad you put cinderella and charming high, the prince jumping out of a windown is an iconic scene of my childhood and they are absolutely a power couple
Beauty and the beast defence time… While belle is the protagonist, Adam is the “hero”, in that is mostly his story of changing and transformation, in all senses. He starts off angry, selfish, and isolated, and gradually learns that actual love means putting someone else before you. Belle is the first person to ever show him that. She gives up her own freedom to save her father, and when she does the beast is visibly confused. One of the main points of their relationship is that it develops in the REVERSE of most abusive relationships. Adam is cruel and controlling- belle leaves. They have to wrangle her back with the wolves scene after that. First sign of selflessness from them. Belle only allows Adam to spend any time with her if he is respectful and gentle. He finds he likes being like that. Adam falls in love with her, and wants her to be free and happy more than he wants to be happy by keeping her with him. It’s got it’s dodgy points. But it’s a heroes journey for Adam, more than it is a romance
Boring? Back when I was young, the Prince's "One Song" melted my heart so much that I sat through "Snow White" twice in the theater. Afterward, I had enough money to eat dinner or buy the "Snow White" LP album [vinyl record]. I bought the album.
I love anna and kristoff so much so I was caught off guard by the lower ranking. but I guess that's just because I barely watch the second movie since I love their relationship way more in the 1st
Tiana and Naveen are my absolute favourites! One of the best early Disney movies in my opinion! The best music, best character development, the storyline! Even the clothing is accurate! And of course .. the accents. I also love Atlantis, The Sleeping Beauty and Tangled Even tho Alladin and Jasmine could be slightly higher if it were the love action Even tho it's sad... I think Anna and Kristof is kinda true Now... BEAUTY AND THE BEAST? And please... I agree but PLEASE cut Snow white some slack. It was Disney's first princess movie And if I'm honest I do not ship Mulan and Li Shen AT ALL. But again.. I haven't seen the sequel. I don't really like sequels when it comes to princesses. If I see them it's because of my siblings want to
I'm very disappointed that belle and the beast weren't up high BC in the movie near the end you can see how belle cares for Adam when he is on the ground and the beast gave her a LIBRARY!!!!
Agreed. To be honest Anna and Kristoff are better off as friends. If they marry they will both just be miserable with one another considering they have no similar life goals, their communication is lacking and Anna really does not put any effort on kristoff. (Plus he is giving up everything for her which will cause resentment at some point) Ya Anna and Kristoff definitely better off as friends.
17.30 What are you talking about??? She did not blame Raya for the accident. Her exact words were 'You're as much to blame for Sisu's death as I am'. And that was the wisdom of the moment
Uh the sequel got so much hate John Smith is officially paired with her in the official lineup. Disney kinda disowns it considering its easily its most hated movie
@@kristinahuchison2511 it's still the most historically accurate thing about the whole Pocahontas movies. (The real Pocahontas was about 10(!) when she met John Smith, and there was never any romance involved. (Fortunately!)
@@vger4781 um Disney made disclaimers before Pocahontas even came out it wasn’t going to be a documentary or following the historical route. Having a talking tree, nature magic that fixes the language barrier issue and John Smith being a blonde blue eyed ladykiller should’ve made it obvious. Literally the ONLY thing they took was the legend of her saving his life. I’m not saying Disney was innocent because I kinda find it hard to believe they didn’t think that was kinda a risky move considering how Indians for a long time were portrayed in old fashioned cartoons or especially Peter Pan. But let me ask you this, would you have even heard of Pocahontas or Matoaka if Disney didn’t make her name known? I actually learned some of the real Pocahontas and John Smith when I was little and I didn’t get to watch it until I was older, so I already knew Disney’s was definitely not even close. Plus look at a ton of other original fairytales in comparison to Disney
@@vger4781 oh you want to talk about “historical accuracy” The only parts they kept were her marrying John Rolfe, going to England and reuniting with John Smith. What they chose to exclude: she was kinda forced to marry John Rolfe for peace in a way, had a son Thomas Rolfe before even going to England, she converted to Christianity and became Rebecca Rolfe, or she never got to return to her homeland as she literally died in her 20’s, she’s actually buried in England as well. Disney made a HUGE mistake in trying to force her with that racist jerk for “historical accuracy” because a very small minority complained about her movie, so Disney stupidly tried to appeal to the minority instead, and that’s exactly why it got so much hate
My favourite Snow White theory is that the prince is actually the grim reaper. He rides in on a pale horse to take her to a cloud castle/ kingdom in the sky.
I don’t think Belle and Beast should be in the gray area, they weren’t in a relationship while he had anger issues, they only started falling in love after he started to “fix himself”
Kida and Milo are totally underrated. The whole movie is, actually. The characterization of Moana as pushy might be a bit uncharitable... She didn't start that way, Maui kinda brought it on himself. Further Maui's behavior might be pretty unacceptable to a person who's used to being in charge. Moana was literally raised to lead her people. Regarding Beast, he did better than one could expect. He literally started as a villain.

Helluva boss relationships: healthy to toxic

Phillip isn't just willing to break an engagement to a princess: he tells his father he's willing to abdicate his crown and give up the entire kingdom to marry a "peasant girl." He and Aurora may not have had much development, but that shows great commitment and devotion, IMO. He's my favorite of the early princes.
Well, he didn't even chose his engagement anyway
He also took on a dragon
I love them so much
He’s the best of the original 3. Still not a fan he “loved” Aurora because she’s hot. But he was willing to fight the mistress of all evil even before she became a dragon just to save his princess.
I love Philip. He wanted to marry for love not for a title. He also loved her no matter what. He fought a dragon for her! All alone with no army. Thats true love ❤️ 😍
I am SO GLAD it was acknowledged that Ariel was interested in humanity in general, not just Eric because a lot of times people say Ariel wanted to be human for Eric alone as if she didn't sing a whole song about wanting to be human before ever seeing him!!!!!
Did you know they almost deleted Part of Your World because it was 'too slow'?
@@tricksterfoxx 😮. No I didn't. I'm so glad they kept it
@@ericaleach1110 Me too. Never would have learned to sing so well if not for that song.
Yes she expressed wanting to learn more about a species her dad completely hated, but her desire to learn more very quickly fizzled out after she got married and became a mother.
Exactly, why do people forget that
Seeing Rapunzel and Eugene on the top of that list. I FEEL SO VALIDATED. We all knew this, but it's nice to see more people realizing the facts. I loved them in the Series... they always found a way to talk through things... even if it took them a minute to admit, even if they had childish moments... Rapunzel and Eugene are GOLD standard of open communication, forgiveness, sacrifice, and affection.
I agree. Despite they only spent 2 days together, I’m willing to forgive that because they didn’t really like each other at first, especially with him trying to scare/trick her into going home. But especially with her saying she prefers Eugene Fitzherbert over Flynn Rider I feel meant A LOT to him, being accepted as a orphan who just wanted a better life. Also the fact he panicked as soon as he figured out how dangerous “mother” was, was so impactful, especially when he kept pushing her hair away from his wound, trying to show he isn’t ok at all losing her
I always dislike it when people say “oH bUt fLyNn is A ThiEf aNd a LiAr” I always snap back with “but have you watched /The/ show? Have you?” And I get so close to going off about how understanding they’re are to each other, gives space, respects boundaries, knows how each other are and how they handle stressful situations, Eugene & Rapunzel are the best Disney couple. I would place Kristoff & Anna second tbh lol or Tiana & Naveen
YES SAME! I haven’t even watched the series but their relationship is so healthy and I love it
AGREED
I feel just as validated and we will not tolerate Tangled slander.
honest: *makes a sequel to “Why The Princess and the Frog is a Terrible Movie” called “Why Tangled is a Terrible Movie” and a prequel called “Why The Disney Renaissance - 2000e Were the Worst Eras of Walt Disney Animation Studios” and gets demonitized*
This list is very accurate. Rapunzel and Eugene are very sweet together and are definitely Disney's best couple :)
Agree! They and Pocahontas and John Smith are my favorites! Pocahontas got the most romantic quote, Rapunzel got the most romantic scene (and almost kiss if they did on the boat damnit) and both got the most beautiful love songs!
@@kristinahuchison2511 Let me guess, you didn't see Pocahontas 2 right? 😅
@@aracelichely2954 actually I’m working on a rewrite for both on wattpad if you’re interested! Literally the only times I watch Pocahontas 2 is just to make fun of it and get around writer’s block. But yeah it’s actually the only Disney movie I completely hate except for Where Do I Go which is a beautiful love song
I agree that rapunzel and Eugene are a great couple, and the most healthiest, but if we’re talking about Disney’s it couple it has to go to belle and beast.
@MeDo Agree, EuNzel💜
Another thing about the Beast: he was only 11 years old when he was transformed! There were no parents to help him mature out of his spoiled nature.
That's more of a plot mistake. I doubt the fact that he was eleven is actually canon, it probably just sounded good in song so they put it in.
Yeah but Beast still kept Belle as a prisoner in his home, separated her from her family, and tried to punish her with starvation for not going to dinner with him.
@@noemiepace9020 No. That was fairly common in that time period; Prince Edward Tudor, for instance.
@@stephaniegreenwood4007 True, and she didn't come around to him until he later saved her from wolves. Belle wanted nothing to do with Beast until he started being nice.
@@365ral I know that it was common, hell inevitable, but I meant it as "it was 1991, would they really curse a *child* in a movie ??". Plus, in the painted windows of the opening narration, he looks nothing like one. Admittedly, that doesn't mean anything, but my point about cursing a child still stands. It's more like because it's a fairytale, you shouldn't actually think about these things, they don't matter.
I feel like Aladdin and Jasmine should have been bumped up a bit higher due to an episode of the Aladdin animated TV series where Aladdin is willing to turn himself into a snake creature (seemingly forever) just to be with Jasmine after she is similarly cursed. It just shows how devoted they are to each other, especially since the entire episode revolved around Jasmine worrying that Aladdin only liked her for her appearance.
I was thinking about that!! I was wondering if it was a fever dream though...I think I saw it on one of my Princess DVD collections? With an episode of Ariel, Belle, Jasmine...and so on
If I remember the episode correctly it started with Mirage discussed as a human woman vendor that sold Jasmine a bottle of some ounments or something you put on the boddy, but it slowly turned her into a snake creature and the only cure was to eat some pear shaped fruit from some kind of a rare tree. And when they was close Mirage cheated and made that the tree and the fruit would rot away. And when Jasmine was prepared to leave Aladdin he putted some of the ointment thing on him self and turned into also a snake creature. I don't know what he says in english but in the swedish dub he says:"If we can't be together as humans, than let us be together as this."
Ir anyone decides to name drop I'll be very thankful

Mulan and Shang will be fine. They learned from the mess Mushu caused, even forgave the little guy enough to combine ancestor shrines so he wouldn't be demoted again.
I agree. I don’t like how they’re lower. Yes Shang can be stubborn and a bit hotheaded, but the sequel actually showed realistic relationship growth, that despite they had different opinions in certain topics, they still ultimately loved each other, including Shang sacrificing himself to save her

Official Disney "princess" aside, the best Disney relationship is Pacha and Chicha from The Emperor's New Groove.
Also Hercules/Meg, Tarzan/Jane, and Simba/Nala.
Yes! Pacha has such a perfect life! There are problems, because that's how life goes, but their relationship is so good!
Agreed on Pacha and Chicha, they're soooo cute!
Hercules and Meg... uuuuuuuuh, eh, Hera isn't vengeful against him here
I would be very disappointed if Disney's best supporting character wasn't also a stellar husband and dad.
Tarzan and Jane are literally perfect and made for each other, they respect each other’s worlds even if they don’t know it very well and Jane’s presence lets Tarzan know about his origins, something that he never knew about. Romantic relationships aside, I think the parent-child relationships are veeery good also. Tarzan with his mother and Jane with her father, Tarzan literally has the best character chemistry in Disney ever
I do remember loving Kriatoff and Anna as a relationship, but in the sequel I got a bit frustrated due to the lack of communication and how it was one sided, yet I do find myself loving Adam and Belle too. Maybe it’s just me liking couples that has clear problems cause it feels more realistic? Idk
Kristoff and Anna was just a problem because they clearly were having writing issues on plot focus. Not to mention such practical and grounded Kristoff, who lived through the first movie, wouldn't naturally try to get in the way of his girlfriend worrying about her beloved sister; just keep her out of danger during the trip again.
The engagement could've easily been done in an hourly special and the sequel actually focus on Elsa, the northern tribe, their parents, and Anna taking up the throne.
The yt-channel Cinema Therapy gives some great insight for both of these movies! I'm sure you would like them, if you're interested.
To be honest I think Kristoff and Anna is just a couple that works better as friends than lovers/married to one another.
We'll see a lot of them more if only Disney didn't deleted make this right, it tells so much about their relationship
It felt so forced too.
Yes! Rapunzel and Eugene are the best couple. I love them so much
Same! Them and Pocahontas and John Smith are my favorites!
Shame that they didnt put hurcules and megara
I wanted to know where Pocahontas relationship with John Rolfe stands in this list. I'm also surprised you didn't mentioned Pocahontas not being with John Smith in the sequel since you mention the other Disney sequels at all.
A Disney character, let alone a Disney Princess, changing romantic partners is rare in Disney films.
Yes, I mean, besides Pocahontas, there's just Anna.
I did not, Pocahontas's relationship with that stuck up aristocrat didn't need to be seen or herd, it's was bad in every way imaginable so it deserves to be ignored. Romantic partners should not be changed in Disney movies.
@@travisboutilier2220 wait why?? it's real life, endless love is extremely rare thing
@@Rinzeki02 Cause it's not right, who cares if it's real life? cause i don't. it should stay rare.
@@travisboutilier2220 no, you’re wrong. Feelings should be normalised. People can stop feeling affection, they can eventually find another partner. That’s completely normal and people shouldn’t feel wrong for their feelings.
Yes, it’s wonderful to believe in “happily ever after”, but you should know that it may not happen, to not be broken and spiteful afterwards.
I wouldn't call Cinderella and the Prince's relationship shallow in the first movie, firstly Cinderella didn't even know she was dancing with the Prince and the Prince married Cinderella knowing she is a kitchen maid. For Snow and the Prince, I believe they knew each other before. Snow White sings "Im wishing, for THE ONE I LOVE to find me today" And the Prince sings "now that I FOUND YOU hear what I have to say" implying they know each-other. The book Fairest Of All also confirms this, that they were secretly meeting before, and then there was a gap and then Snow was forced into servitude . The reason Snow got startled was not because he was a stranger but the fact she was embarrassed to be seen in rags. We see her fixing her hair and straightening her clothes when reappearing to him again confirming that. And also the Prince didn't care she was in rags "wait don't run away" And after they were separated we learn that the Prince "searched far and wide for the maiden" for months so I wouldn't call their relationship shallow either. And kissing someone you love and believe to be dead goodbye, I don't see anything wrong with that. :)
Oh interesting! I never realized that about Snow White and the prince. The huge issue I see with their relationship though is that supposedly she's 14 and he's 30-something? That's so creepy! If they were both around the same age though, it would be really sweet :)
@@justemmalyn7934 Agreed, but since none of this is confirmed by Disney, I believe they are closer in age because of their appearance :)
@@scarlett5247 Huh, I never knew it was unconfirmed!
Um with Snow White, he literally says “Hello. Did I frighten you?” If they knew each other he should’ve just said her name or something that implied he knew her.
@@kristinahuchison2511 I don't know, it makes sense for me, if they were strangers maybe he would have said "Did I frighten you mam/ms", the way he said it to her sounded casual with a sense of familiarity
Seeing Rapunzel and Eugene at number one made my day. Not only are they Disney's healthiest couple, they are one of the healthiest couples in modern fiction in general.
Honestly they are! Actually they’re my favorite Disney couple than Belle and Adam or Jasmine and Aladdin. Those were ones I actually remember watching when I was younger. My other favorite has always been Pocahontas and John Smith
I think they were complletely ruined in the series. Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I just don’t get it! And what's worse is that it seems Like she only changed her mind about marriage because Stalyan wanted him which makes it seem Like she only wants him when another wants him which is so toxic! And If she considers being married to him to be a prison then I dont get why the hell she is even still with him If he is that horrible! Flynn deserves better! He was dumped down so much and turned into a complete simp while she seems complletely uninterested in him! I hate this stupid series!
@mariechen4375 To be frank, Rapunzel was still wiping of the dust from staying in 1 tower for 18 long years, and she knew Eugene for 6 months as of the start of the TV follow-up. Which somewhat comes off as valid, and some extra growth was probably necessary. Finally, Stalyan's interference is kind of like Rapunzel not knowing what she had until it was gone.
it hurts me how they destroyed Anna and Kristoff's relationship after watching the deleted scenes of Frozen 2 with that magnificent song of the two of them, They even propose marriage to each other.
But of course, in its place a silly song of Kristoff singing with some reindeer.
the song that didn’t make it to actual film where Anna proposes to him is soooo good
But I think it’s sweet how kristoff thinks of Sven as his friend even though he’s an animal. Such a pure, platonic relationship
I know and also that scene where Anna and Kristoff actually have a proper conversation about their relationship.
But no they cut all the good meat out… and for what? Just to show a one sided relationship.
honestly i am not that fond of them and how nowadays "strong" fl (as if not every fl is) always get with the dumb himbo. kristoff got reduced to that trope
@@sara1coco i know. THEY LOBOTOMIZED HIM!!! Where did the strong, common sense mountain man we all know and love go!?
There is a small Sleeping Beauty follow up in comics where Maleficent returns, as well as a short movie where Aurora plans a party for Phillip but has to consistently talk the 3 good fairies into letting her do things for herself. The latter shows her commitment to the relationship, however I haven’t read the comic to tell you how much they develop during their follow up story.
I personally think you guys were too harsh on Ralph. I’m not going to act like he wasn’t clingy, but it makes total sense given his backstory. He was completely alone for 30 years, he lived in a pile of trash because he wasn’t welcome in the apartment complex, and he faced prejudice for something he had no control over every second of his life. He finally found someone willing to look past all of that and become his best friend. When faced with potentially returning to his old life it brought him to a panic. If you went through 30 years of trauma wouldn’t that make you kind of desperate to hold on to your friends too? I’m not excusing Ralph’s actions, I’m just saying he should at least be cut a little slack.
I mean yes, but most toxic people have a traumatic life so...
@@andrikfelix6507 True, but most people don’t redeem themselves by fighting a giant, physical version of their insecurities to save their best friend’s life and sacrificing their own happiness so their best friend can pursue their goals.
That's true. I don't think Ralph is a bad guy and he clearly has some issues due to his past, but that can still mean the relationship isn't fully healthy
Yeah, PTSD can warp your mindset like with Ralph, even though he 💯 crossed a line.
Prince Eric iris such a good person. Not only is he kind, gentle, and loving to Ariel, but the guy actually sailed a shipwrecked ship through a maelstrom to in order to save her, proving just how loyal, brave, and determined he was to save her. He was truly in love with Ariel, the girl who saved his life and was willing to sacrifice his own life as long as he saved hers. That is why Prince Eric is my all time favorite Disney Prince. He was a true hero.
I agree that he's a top tier dude. He also climbed back onto a burning, sinking ship to save his dog. Gotta love a guy who loves his dog that much.
I need to watch the little mermaid man
Finally, some Prince Eric love! He is the swashbuckling best boy!
Give Ralph some slack. He's just like Bruno. He was shunned by his family and friends for a long time. I admit what Ralph did was really messed up, but I understand why he tried to ruin Slaughter Race
I agree.
In his mind at the time He did it to prevent the destruction of an entire gaming World and to avoid to kill or make thousands of characters stranded between the games, so He did what every hero wouldve done. About the second movie there He was totally childish and acted out of character.
@@oleschmidt2844 and that is why I hated the second movie…took me all of 10 minutes to think up a better plot
It took away all of Ralph’s development in first movie and Venellopee also seemed a bit selfish as well let her game she was in charge of die because she was bored.
@@sailorearth2007 curious what your plot would be. I like to daydream about stuff
I always admired Mulan and Shang and I think it’s because they always showed me the definition of realistic love in the sequel because it’s like your gonna argue your gonna have your ups and your downs your gonna have your wants and their wants but in the end you know that you love each other and your willing to do anything for one another. I also like it because they didn’t get married right away even though we didn’t see the development we know it’s there it’s the same with Rapunzel and Eugene I don’t think I spelt his name right but with them we did
To be fair I think their relationship is quite good not gonna lie. Maybe I’m just a dumb Asian that really wants representation but yeah. Mulan and Shang are way way more accurate then most relationships in this list. Everyone fights in any sort of relationship. People are gonna have disagreements. There’s nothing wrong with standing with your beliefs you don’t have to agree on everything but that’s just my opinion so
Giseeeele of enchanted
@@SimplyComi I mean same with in a way Aladdin and Jasmine in Return of Jafar, but definitely with Pocahontas and John Smith when he accidentally called her a savage and is trying to backtrack because she got mad, rightfully so and he’s trying to call her one without actually saying the word, and she flat out called him out on his bs that he knew exactly what he meant.

@@Anik-ge9vg actually I really liked it dug into mature themes too. Like the episode Attila the cupcake baker was accused of destroying a bakery next door, almost in a way kinda stereotyping all because he never takes his helmet off and is shy too, but Rapunzel fought for her friend! Or even she actually has deeper daddy relationship issues than Ariel and Triton, considering her father was hiding secrets about Old Corona, which is connected to her hair. Or even the part Rapunzel is forced to put the safety of Corona’s people over the kid from S1 (can’t remember his name) and he grows to resent her because of how much his village suffered.

The Disney princess Relationships I love are Eric and Ariel, Aladdin and Jasmine, Belle and Beast, Eugene and Rapunzel, Pocahontas and John Smith.
I 100% agree with your first three pairs.
I've always loved those princess movies.
Are you serious? Pocahontas and John Smith? Bro he spun some stupid story that Pocahontas was in love with him, and essentially kidnapped her and had her baptized in Europe. She was *11* he was *28.*
Agreed with all except Pocahontas and John Smith,that couple is uh,not cool
Belle and the beast?...
Pocahontas is one of my lest favorite Disney princesses just personally due to the fact it’s so so historically inaccurate.
I love Rapunzel and Eugene but y'all clearly haven't seen Tiana and Naveen's relationship from the Princess and the Frog, if you think they're ult
info:
Naveen was a happy-go-lucky playboy who's been cut off from the trust fund because of his constant partying and so he sets off to marry a rich man's daughter to stay rich and he falls in love with Tiana (istg yall should see the movie) and what really gave it for me is that scene where Naveen wanted to propose to Tia but ends up stopping himself because he wanted to fulfill Tia's dream of opening a restaurant and he can't do that without marrying himself off to have money. Plus, Naveens character development from Trophy husband material to just zaddy you can depend on is amazing. Princess and the Frog is sooooo underrated, it has some of the best characters in it. The romance was not just 100000000/10, the friendships in it were amazing too T.T plus Tiana's independent woman character which was rather uncommon during the era the movie aired
Yes!!! Princess & the Frog is one of my all time favourites and it took me until last year to finally watch it 😁 I love it so much & their relationship is so adorable & sweet

There is a comic of an eliminated scene of Snow White where she met prince Florian on the horse stalls and show them chatting on a very romantic way... That would explain why he showed up and started to sing to her about love bc they met before and he fell in love with her
Belle and Beast should be waay higher. Their relationship was difficult and unusual, but i don't think it's toxic.
Here's my opposite view from the ones pointed out in the video :
1st. Beast snapping at Belle at their early stage of relationship ?
I wouldn't call it a relationship at all because they didn't have any back when he was all 'beasty' to her.
Belle traded places with her father and had agree to stay forever. She didn't want anything to do with Beast because he was the jerk who locked up her father. And Beast initially viewed her just as a tool to broke his curse.
So early on, they both weren't in a relationship, at least not romantically inclined towards being a couple. Who would call this 'non existent relationship' as toxic ? They were strangers who happened to be beneath the same roof for one night.
Belle even run away the same night after the whole West wing fiasco.
They only came to a better understanding after snapping AT EACH OTHER when she was treating his wounds. I wouldn't call their efforts to 'try knocking some sense into someone who just saved your life' toxic. I also wouldn't call them friends at this point because they weren't. They were just two people who barely knew each other and just saved each other lives (Beast saved her from the wolves and Belle saved him from dying in the cold).
2nd. Beast didn't let her go until after her father's at the death door.
Beast DIDN'T know Maurice has gone looking for his daughter and got stranded in the snow storm.
He found out the moment Belle herself did, through the magic mirror. In a sense, he was the one who helped her find her father's whereabout. And he let her go to him even without Belle asking him to. There's no guarantee she would come back but he ler her leave. Not even mention anything about his impending doom and the curse
If he didn't let her go, or let her go but make her promise to return, then it could be a toxic relationship, because that means he only wants to use her.
But he didn't ask anything of her AT ALL.
He was willing to sacrifice himself and all his servants for her freedom, something she already traded for her father in the beginning.
So, i would say the toxic relationship in the movie was NOT between him and Belle. It was between Beast and his servant. For they love him unconditionally for years and he took their love for granted. He almost let them became furnitures forever when he let Belle go. He chose Belle's happiness over theirs and the servant didn't blame him one bit for it. After all their longing to be human again, after putting up with their a-hole master for so long. Beast didn't even apologize to them for jeopardizing their future like that AFTER making them endured the curse for 10 years!
He really does take his servant for granted till the end. That's what i called a toxic relationship. Lucky them everything works out for a happy ending.
Conclusion : Belle and Beast doesn't have a toxic relationship. Beast was a toxic person before yes, but his toxic relationship wasn't with Belle.
Also i wouldn't call the 2 "sequels" cannon because Belle's personality feels more like a puppet to me than an actual person.
@@benceszarvas5464 preach, the "sequeals" were terrible.
@@benceszarvas5464 neither that AWFUL Live Action Movie
I completely agree with you . I am already bored of this videos talking about Belle and Beast as a Toxic relationship ( and all that stupid Stockolm Syndrome thing). BUT , I disagree about the relationship of Beast and his servants ; because at the end it was a co dependency relationship . It was a monarchy and the staff lived I the castle so they had food and hostage while they served to the prince . Of course the Beast barely cared about them after Belle leaved because he was Depressed, even SUICIDAL if you think he merely put any resistance against Gaston. When he returned to be a human , he treats them very kind and cares about them , is happy to see them as humans too. Depression can seriously affect our senses , people with that condition often doesn't care of others not because they are evil or toxic , it's because of a mental crisis that even them can't explain
@@ingridsuperfreak Don't worry i hated that as well. Only redeeming thing that movie got was the music. Nothing else. Both of them(Belle and Beast) were jerk and had a terrible personality in the live action.
I think Milo and Kida should he higher. they have shared passions and really understood each other well! I'd swap them in place of Ariel and Erik.
I think, especially highlighted in the second and third movies, Aladin and Jasmine have a more realistic relationship than many of the others. Aladin especially is a flawed guy, and they both know it, but neither of them let that ruin the relationship. I think the jewel of this paring is the song, "Forget about Love" for all the right reasons. In a nutshell, the primary thing that sets their relationship apart that the others don't is Forgiveness.
And no, since we see Aladin genuinely trying to improve himself, he is not being abusive to Jasmine simply because he needs a lot of forgiveness.
My favorite moment of the King of Thieves movie is after Aladdin springs his father, when he knows that if he goes back he'll be arrested, he still snaps at Qasim that "I *won't* walk out on Jasmine!"
A lot of Aladdin's character flaws, even his dishonesty with Jasmine, can be traced back to his feelings of abandonment and all the survival skills he had to develop to compensate for not having anyone to look out for him. He might still be very flawed and have a lot of maladaptive behaviors to unlearn, but he's been high-empathy/compassionate person from the start, and the fact that he's willing to accept punishment just to keep Jasmine from the anguish of not knowing what happened to him/second-guessing whether he really loved her* says a lot about how he's grown as a person and partner over the three movies.
* Not to mention that, with this utterance (and his conversation with Genie at the beginning of the movie), he's becoming cognizant of what the root of his problems are...and while recognizing you have a problem is the first step, understanding where it comes from is the most significant step, imo.
For the info… prince Florian was supposed to fight a dragon for Snow White. It was planned. But Walt felt that it would both make the film too long and bump up the animation bill beyond being able to manage paying for it. At the time, nothing like Snow White had ever been done. So Walt had no way of knowing for sure that it would bring back a good enough return to warrant paying for the extra cels that would have gone into the prince’s arc.
I personally don't like to count Prince Florian and Snow White as a couple: Here is my reason......
There is a theory out there that Snow White actually died at the end of the film and that the prince is supposed to be Death. In older legends, Death wasn't just portrayed as a skeleton in robes and a scythe, he could take on any form and was symbolized by doves and rode a white horse.
Many people also believe Snow White and Florian's relationship to be creepy considering the age of the prince is in his 30s while Snow White is 14. But what if I told you there was never any romance with these two characters?
Death doesn't approach people to be romantic, he approaches people with the intention of leading them to the afterlife like a polite escorting gentleman. He never said to Snow White "Oh I love you so much!" He says"Now that I found you, I have but one song, only for you", he is trying to politely tell her that her fate is coming soon without scaring her.
When he kisses her, it is the kiss of death, the final step to taking her to heaven. How else do you explain the castle in the sky at the end? I truly do believe this theory because I used to be creeped out by the prince as a kid. After hearing this theory, my feeling creeped out as a kid makes SO MUCH sense, since he's literally the Grim Reaper.
But still.. she was only 14… he was like 30
@@thecookiecrumbsinpercyshai8685 Thank you for that info! I wasn't aware of that tbh. I always thought he was much closer to her age, as I was never very good at telling people's ages. To me, he just looks like he'd be in his later teens/early 20's.
@@torytellstales
That might be true but I sort of doubt the possibility that Walt was going for that. Only because he leaned in on pushing it as a romance quite a bit outside of the film. That's still some really cool info though! I'd honestly always had the opposite effect. haha I always found Prince Florian really charming and as it turns out, I also happen to have an odd crush on the Grim Reaper. rofl Although that honestly probably started with watching The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy for me. XD
@@CosplayCore yeaaa but still any 18-20 year old dating a 14 year old is a pedophile, ten to one saying if their own age group doesn’t want them they are probably bad news
I hadn't thought Kristoff and Anna would be so low, because I had always thought of Kristoff as doing really well on that front, but now that you're pointing it out, it is almost entirely Kristoff being the good s/o
I disagree a lot with this list... you guys held too high the couples that didn't have any discussions or troubles. That means that those couples are the least realistic of all. They don't even know each other that well. The first couple is the best one, not gonna lie. But for example: mulan and shang had problems because (aside from mushu) they are human beings, different from each other and that is right, it's healthy to have differences, and they fixed it...which is the point of it...
I mostly agree with Ariel and Eric and Cinderella and Charming. Eric fell in love with her voice instead of who she was without it, and Ariel was so sick of her daddy’s overprotective rules she was ready to give up everything for someone she didn’t even know aside he played the snarfblat and had a dog. Otherwise even revealing she was a mermaid was rather dangerous as well. Cinderella and Charming, Cinderella herself is an excellent character as she had to go through hell with her stepfamily but was kind and compassionate determined one day things would change. But he’s easily my least favorite prince, he doesn’t actually go out himself to find her, relied on a shoe despite KNOWING several women would probably fit it, and doesn’t even give the Grand Duke a physical description of her either! Even counting 3 he was spelled the entire time Anastasia was the one, I don’t really count jumping out a window or chasing a ship as heroic. My only problem with Tiana and Naveen is becoming human again I would’ve thought they’d wait until AFTER Tiana’s restaurant was built to get married, using the money made to pay for their wedding instead if Naveen’s royalties as prince. Imo Pocahontas and John Smith definitely deserved the silver. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are definitely best couple!
@@kristinahuchison2511 I don’t agree. Eric fell in love with Ariel for who she was that’s why it’s my favorite Disney Princess movie. Eric didn’t believe that Ariel was still the girl that saved him because of her missing voice but he was willing to give up looking for the mystery girl to be with Ariel hence why he throws the flute into the ocean. Ursula literally intervenes because she realizes Eric is falling for Ariel all over again. For Cinderella, it would take your case of not for Cinderella 3. Because of magic the shoe does fit another girl and the Prince comes in apologizing for the mistake until he put under a spell. I think people who don’t like Eric and Prince Charming are under the impression that if another girl had the voice or another girl fit the shoe they would marry them but if you’re paying attention to the movies that’s wrong. The voice and the shoe were their only way of finding them. If multiple girls fit the shoe the Prince would have looked until he found Cinderella. Eric didn’t even need the voice he still fell in love with her anyway.
I second this comment
@@tinysailor well personally I disagree, considering he almost married Vanessa because she had her voice. Yes he was spelled, but upon hearing Ariel actually talk he was determined it was her. Plus her desire to learn more about humans very quickly fizzled out when she married Eric. I still don’t believe falling for her voice was good enough
I don’t agree with like 90% of it the Mulan one was probably the one that made me the most upset. Relationships are going to have arguments it’s normal. Nothing is wrong about standing with your beliefs. Understandable why Shang (sorry if I spelled that wrong) didn’t want to trust Mulan as much due to the fact she lied to get into the army.
Can you do the same for non-Disney princess relationships like Nani and David from Lilo and Stitch?
David should be a Disney prince. He's such a sweetheart. And Elisa from gargoyles should be a princess; she's amazing.
@@geocelta1961 No way, he is not royal blood.
@@travisboutilier2220 uh...nor is Aladdin, or christoff, or Eugene. Actually most of the guys the princesses end up with aren't. The princesses aren't all royal blood either, like Mulan. He's still awesome, though.
@@geocelta1961 the same could be said for Belle. She wasn't royal either.
@@geocelta1961 well but for cases like Aladdin, Eugene, Belle, etc. they marry into royalty, so they become a prince/princess. Nani and David don’t marry into royalty, nor were they born as royalty
If this had been a list for Disney relationships in general and not just the princess ones, I would argue that Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable's relationship is up there with Rapunzel and Eugene.😊
Not to mention Eugene had no idea Rapunzel was royalty.
It be fair, Rapunzel didn’t know either until the end of the movie she was the lost princess.
Okay, so…
You guys know that being willing to sacrifice everything for someone who you just met a few days ago is a bit of a high standard, right?
I agree that Disney doesn’t always get it right or stable, but I think they generally do a good job of pitching in some diversity to romantic developments and romantic relationships
Shang and Mulan 🥰, yes they were fighting a lot but none of them was perfect and in the fact they have almost maches personalities. Can we look on the bright side? They were madly in love with eachother. When he ,,died,, in Mulan2 Mulan was so broken. And the way Shang's eyes lights up every time he sees her..
I am so happy that you included Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure and gave her and Eugene NOT FLYNN the #1 spot totally deserved
Personally I would’ve added Anna and Hans into the toxic section as well, but that’s just me.
I find it amusing that while Rapunzel and Eugene's starts with her hitting him in the head with a frying pan, Ana and Hans's ends with her sucker punching him in the face.
Still convinced it was the Trolls... 'get rid of the fiancé and the thing is fixed!' or something like that...
Yeah, just for the sake of having an obviously toxic couple to dunk on. Good idea.
I personally would have put Anna and Kristoff relationship as toxic. It’s kinda obvious that Anna is just not ready for a relationship and due to the trauma with Hans she just jumped from one guy to another due to the trauma.
And sadly due to frozen 2 the lack of communication, common ground and it being so one sided I think we all agree that they will either end up resenting one another or break up….
To be honest Anna and Kristoff reminds me a lot like those couples that work better as friends than them actually being married.
Even Disney friend zoned them all the time!!! We almost never see Kristoff and Anna together and in best friends day instead of using a picture of Elsa and Anna or Anna and olaf or anything like that…. They used Kristoff and Anna. (I was like wait… aren’t they supposed to be engaged?) like if even the company that made them friend zones them then I think it shows what people think of their relationship.
I agree. Kristoff was lecturing her about marrying someone she only knew for one night, but ironically thats the same amount of time she had with him, while yes they don’t get married in the end, still kinda the same problem, so in a way Kristoff is a hypocrite. I really wish Disney would make a prince and princess that they maybe do have feelings for each other but in the end agree just to be friends instead, not because they love someone else or anything, just they don’t feel that way about each other. And no I don’t count Pocahontas and John Smith in that trope from the ending or that stupid sequel.
But yes Kristoff even talked about not trusting humans after his sled was destroyed, but then all of a sudden “loves” Anna at the end? Like dude only thing you did was save her from falling to her death 2X and your family trying to perform a wedding and you’re arguing you 2 aren’t a couple?
I don't agree and honestly I don't see how did you get that idea. The company have made pictures of them together as a couple (there's one very cute where Kristoff is lifting Anna and they are looking each other romantically) and they had a very good development at the end when he said he was with her for anything she could need and she apologized for leaving before him. They are one of the most beautiful couples, I am just sad his kiss was not as romantic as others but hey, they kissed and I am happy ^^
@@kristinahuchison2511 How can be the same problem when Kristoff was lecturing anna because she was going to marry a guy the same day after meeting him but at the end Kristoff and Anna didn't get marry? :/ The problem is not necessarily falling in love in one or two days, the problem is wanting to marry someone you don't know AT ALL. Kristoff didn't want to marry Anna after saving her life (which by the way is kind of a big deal for me) but after spending several months with her and having a thing called character development, that's why he learned to trust humans more, Anna help him to do that, and that's why they are one amazing couple :')
@@aracelichely2954 I disagree. He literally got so excited because she kept her word about replacing his sled “I could kiss you!” What I mean is the events in the first literally end in 2 days, and all of a sudden Kristoff loves her? I said yes they don’t get married in the first, but his love kinda came out of nowhere, especially when he made the comment about not trusting others.
This is literally the same problem I have with Pocahontas and John Rolfe, they were stuck on a ship together for 4 damn months which was 4X the amount she had with John Smith, but the writers literally didn’t work with that time, even when they arrived in London it’s obvious they have a platonic relationship and don’t “like” each other. He started getting “feelings” for her when she was plastered in powder and in a hideous ballgown to whitewash her to make her appear more civilized/English. In other words, John Rolfe “loved” the civilized Pocahontas, while John Smith always embraced her as a Native American princess who was a free spirit like him who fought for what she believed in!
Are you forgetting that there’s another movie Frozen 2 and by that time they have spent more time together probably a year or two .In Frozen 2 there’s a part where Anna is about to go confront the ice giants or whatever to break the dam and Kristoff rides up and says to Anna “What do you need,I’m here for you” . Also did you conveniently forget that Kristoff was willing to give Anna up because even though he lectured her on marrying a guy she just met he still thought Hans was Anna’s true love. Also Kristoff does ask Anna to marry him in Frozen 2 which it seems you haven’t seen because you would know they get married
Personally I see some of these pairings overcoming hurdles in their relationships before they reach contentment. I never saw ANYTHING toxic in their relationships.
I mostly agree. Except for Raya and Namaari. I don't even know if we can call their relationship toxic because they were barely friends, more like enemies that turned into maybe-possibly-friends-once-they-rebuild-their-trust. I mean, relationships between enemies are toxic by default, we can't expect them to be healthy (unless it's something like Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz). Don't even get me started on the supposed romance the shippers see there but I just can't, not even if I squint.
@@M_JackOfAllTrades indeed. It wouldn've been better if we waited for an animated series for Raya to make any assumptions on that.
Had to rewind in the middle cuz I was like "...Did they just say PRINCESS Adam??"

I'm so glad it wasn't just me that noticed haha

@@livelyasmr She is not a child, she's a teenager.
@@travisboutilier2220 yeah.
@@livelyasmr Yeah what?
Anna also had a sheltered ass childhood because of her parents decision on how to handle Elsa's powers by locking the two girls up, so while it doesn't move them out of that grey area it is also something to consider from Anna's perspective, she just didn't fully develop some social skills.
I was hoping Raya and Namarri would be the most toxic. I wanted to get invested into their relationship, but Namarri just kept double crossing Raya throughout the movie. Like so many other people, it was so hard for me to take the movie's Trust message seriously.
Do not get invested into them, they have to be with men, love is between man and woman.

I jumped for joy when you said Adam’s name. Only a true Disney fan or a good researcher knows this! Very happy.
The only thing is he was introduced in the video as "Princess Adam" 😅
@@stuckinthepast4454 First Adam refference I saw was I think a book & tape (audio) set couldn't have been too long after the movie came out.
Staying healthy is good, especially I really appreciate there’s no problems with the relationship. 1:05
Naveen and Tiana are a great example of a couple who gradually bring out the best in each other as they become closer - definitely one of my favourites! 🥰
I read somewhere a theory that the prince in snow white is actually a reaper, and sow white died after eating the apple...so from the beginning she was actually courting death or death was courting her, a death introduced by a beautiful prince she pictured.
Here's the thing
•Moana and Maui
•Venelope and Wreck it Ralph
•Raya and Nammari
Are not in a relationship. They are just friends and just because they are an opposite gender doesn't make them in a relationship and Venelope is WAY younger than Wreck it Ralph so if they were in a relationship Disney would get in big trouble. And Raya and Naarmi it's a little dangerous to say they are in a relationship because they never really had that kind of spark.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first language, so here's some linguistic nuance for you that hopefully Google translate can pick up:
The word "relationship" in English is not synonymous with "romance". It means the emotional status between two or more people. A mother and her children is a "relationship". Having friends is a "relationship". Having an enemy is still a "relationship", because it's how you relate to that person, positive or negative or anything in between. This video very explicitly clarifies that it means the hero and their main relationship as explored by their respective movies. So regardless of their romantic interests or lack therof, it's interesting to explore how characters 'relate' to one another, and the comparitive health of that relationship. That's what this video is aiming for, not trying to claim all these people are in love or should be a couple.
@jf k My problem is that this is supposed to be a princess list. Mulan is not a princess.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 Mulan is not a princess in her world but she is a princess (to Disney cause she made a lot of money lol)
Florian was 31. Snow White was 14. They are the BOTTOM of the list and the most toxic of the toxic. Other than that, I respect that yall acknowledged Prince Eric was not the main reason, just the excuse, for Ariel to go to the surface.
Exactly!! I was shocked to see them not being last or in the toxic area at all.
I keep seing this. It's just not correct. According to Walt Disney's own notes at the time, Snow White was indeed 14, but Prince Florian was 18! A relationship between a 14 year old girl and a 18 year old guy isn't exactly uncommon.
@@vger4781 Not uncommon but 14 & 18 is still very different maturity wise. A 14 y/o is basically still a child. An 18 year old isn't a full blown adult (except legally), but they have life experiences that the 14 y/o hasn't had yet, which gives them power over the 14 y/o. The power balance is off.
If I had a 14 y/o kid I wouldn't let them date anyone over the age of 15.
@@vger4781 as someone who was a 14 year old girl in a relationship with an 18 year old guy, it's still gross and the imbalance of power is wrong. Also I can't find any source other than quora answers saying he's 18. I can't find anything on Walt Disney's notes denoting Florian's intended age and he definitely doesn't look like a teenager in the original film. I would have guessed mid 20s if not older due to the voice acting sounding much older than Snow White's. Do you mind pointing me in the right direction for your source on his notes?
@@chaoticgoodgh0st286 i was 14 dating an 18 year old and it was the most abusive relationship of my life. You're very accurate. By the time I hit 18 and looked back at 14 years olds, all I saw were kids and I fully understood just how bad it was that he targeted me.

I'm so glad that Anna's toxic behaviour was called out.
Anna WAS hyperfocused on Elsa and her problems. She made Kristof behave differently around Elsa to avoid upsetting her. Like madam focus on your relationship with him for more than a minute at a time
Rapunzel was exactly the Same in that stupid series and she wasn't called Out! Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me??? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I Just dont get it!
I agree about Anna but I think it's unfair only to call her Out on it and Not Rapunzel who did the exact Same Thing!

I'm not sure I agree with most of these standings, but maybe I'm not understanding your thought processes. Are you ranking the couples generally or based on what was happening on the screen at that very moment?
A good example of my confusion would be Mulan 2, which was why you had ranked them so lowly on your list - the entire point of that movie and arc for the characters was learning when to compromise and communicate better. When the movie ended they had learned that lesson, making them a much stronger and healthier couple.
I definitely wouldn't consider rough starts as examples of grey or toxic relationships. Another example of what I'm talking about being the Beast snapping at Belle early on in their relationship - you said it yourself: it was early on in their relationship & then they learned and grew together. (Also, the Stockholm thing has been debunked 100 times over. That isn't what Stockholm Syndrome is.)
Sorry if my thoughts are scattered! I just genuinely don't understand where some of these placements are coming from based on the reasoning given. It doesn't seem very well thought through in my opinion.
*Edited for grammar
I feel like Adam and Belle should've been put higher. I do see the flaws in their relationship, but let's not forget that Adam was a beast! Their love was technically impossible in the first place! After so many years of loneliness and having to accept that no one will ever see you as more than a beast, something that deep down you weren't, I understand why he was a little grumpy. Cut the guy some slack! At least he's willing to work out his issues to be worthy of Belle. Isn't that what love should be about: helping your partner grow and develop as a person? Also let's not mention as he always saw her as his better half and thought he wasn't worthy of her. That's selflessness!
As if I care this is my least favorite Disney Princess couple.

In the movie, Rapunzel and Flynn’s relationship is this wonderful, heartfelt story where they both grow together, and they make sacrifices for one another. The whole point of their love was that they both saw each other for who they really were, flaws and all, and accepted each other completely. Flynn was willing to die for her at the end of the movie because he knew exactly how much she meant to him. And Rapunzel, in turn, chose him and chose freedom, a love she had never known. They were two people who learned from each other and complemented each other, making their love feel real and strong.
But the series completely reverses this, and it destroys what made them such a strong couple in the first place. In the series, Rapunzel isn’t just ignoring Flynn-she’s treating him with this weird, passive disregard, like he’s not important. She lets Cassandra-her supposed best friend-belittle him, and instead of defending him, she just stands there. It’s as though Flynn’s feelings and emotions are secondary to Rapunzel’s, which is absolutely toxic. It’s baffling and, frankly, it just hurts to see her treat Flynn this way. The character arc that worked so well in the movie is completely discarded for the sake of drama in the series, and it doesn’t feel authentic to the characters or their original dynamic.
The Problem with the "Rejecting Marriage" Plotline
The whole marriage rejection plotline is one of the worst things the series did to the relationship, and it makes zero sense when compared to the movie. In Tangled, Rapunzel’s willingness to give up everything for Flynn, including her freedom, was a powerful moment. She loved him deeply, and that was part of the movie’s central theme: love is about selflessness and compromise. It wasn’t about her giving up everything, but rather that she was willing to face a new life, a new future with him, even if it meant the unknown.
Then, in the series, suddenly Rapunzel doesn’t want to marry him? She treats marriage like it’s some sort of prison, even after she almost lost him in the movie. It’s like the show wants to tell little girls that marriage is a "trap" when, in reality, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The fact that Rapunzel keeps rejecting Flynn’s proposals, knowing full well how much he loves her and how much she loves him, just doesn’t make sense. It’s not a healthy relationship when one person is so clearly not on the same page as the other. Relationships require compromise from both sides, but in this case, Flynn is constantly the one who has to bend and change. That’s not fair to him, and it’s not fair to any real-life relationship either.
The idea that marriage is a "prison" or something negative, especially when they’re so deeply in love, is a dangerous message. It teaches kids that love and commitment are burdens, rather than something beautiful and life-affirming. And it sets unrealistic expectations for relationships. If you love someone, the natural progression is to want to be with them for the long term, including marriage. Rejecting someone’s proposal multiple times just shows they’re not on the same page, and honestly, that’s when a relationship should be reevaluated. It’s heartbreaking to see Rapunzel treat Flynn this way because, in the movie, their love was so pure and mutual. But here, Flynn’s wishes and feelings seem to matter so little, and that’s not a healthy dynamic at all.
Why Rapunzel’s Actions Are Toxic
Rapunzel’s behavior in the series is toxic. She’s passive, inconsiderate, and at times, outright mean to Flynn. She does things that are disrespectful-like drawing his face on a punching bag for Cassandra-without any acknowledgment of how hurtful that would be to him. It’s not something she’d do in the movie. It’s like the series wanted to make her "strong" or "independent," but they did it in the worst possible way-by making her selfish and unkind, which is completely the opposite of what made her a great character in the first place.
relationships where one person is always the one compromising and giving in can’t work. Flynn deserves better than to constantly be the one who’s expected to be okay with things Rapunzel doesn’t agree with. It’s just not fair to him, and it creates a dynamic that’s unhealthy. No one wants to feel like their needs are being ignored in a relationship, and Flynn constantly being forced to let Rapunzel have her way, even when it means his feelings are hurt, is just... wrong.
Why This Isn’t Healthy or Realistic
This kind of dynamic is not healthy, and it definitely shouldn’t be promoted, especially to kids. The idea that relationships should be a constant struggle where one person is always "giving in" to make the other happy doesn’t work in the real world. If both people aren’t truly committed to each other and equally invested, then the relationship is bound to fail. Kids watching this might think that relationships are about letting one person always get what they want, and that’s just not true. Relationships are about compromise, respect, and working together, and that’s not what we see in Tangled: The Series.
What Disney Should Have Done
What Disney should have done is keep the integrity of the characters from the movie and not force unnecessary drama into their relationship just to fill a TV series plot. They should have taken the time to explore their post-movie life in a way that felt authentic and true to who they were as people in the movie. Instead of writing Rapunzel as someone who pushes Flynn aside and treats him poorly, the series could have focused on them growing together in their new roles as a couple, building their life together as they face new challenges. That’s the story we wanted to see. Not one where they’re constantly at odds, not one where Flynn is belittled and Rapunzel is emotionally detached.
6:05 I don’t think that Moana & Maui are a couple. Just like with Luca & Giulietta, these two seem like close friends to me. Then again, it is called Disney princess relationships, not Disney princess couples.
I think they will eventually, they would make a great couple.
The vido said they werent a couple. Theyre a platonic couple. Meaning theyre friends
@@Celeste-jh2lj They should be a couple.
@@travisboutilier2220 i disagree. Not every disney movie needs to have the main characters get together. Plus ive heard theories that theyre related so that makes it awkward
@@Celeste-jh2lj I don't care if you disagree. yes every Disney movie does need to have the main characters get together, it's a tradition that needs to be maintained. they are not related.
I really love the relationships for Rapunzel and Eugene, Aladdin and Jasmine, Belle and Adam, Cinderella and Charming, Tiana and Naveen and Mulan and Shang also I love the relationship for Anna and Kristoff but mostly the relationship of Rapunzel and Eugene their relationship were good in Tangled and Tangled the series.
Where's Phoebus and Esmeralda and Tarzan and Jane!? (I'm more pissed they forgot Tarzan and Jane because they would be VERY high up on the healthy list due to how devoted they are to each other in the TV series)
Neither of them should be on this list cause Esmeralda should have been with Quasimodo instead and Tarzan should have went to England with jane instead of staying in the jungle.
@jf k that shouldn't have happened, Tarzan going to England is the better option. humans belong in civilization, not a hot, sweaty jungle where everything can kill you.
@jf k It should matter what i think. i don't mind that they became a couple, i just want them to go to England where they belong, not stay in the jungle where animals belong. not on this list. i judge Disney characters on who they end up with and where they choose to live.
This list is about princesses - which neither Esmeralda or Jane are.
prince naveen and tiana is my fave Disney couple, their character development is just so good and i love how he respected Tiana's dream to have a restaurant
They are the healthiest couple for me
They are one of my least favorites, Tiana is so serious and naveen is not a real man.
For the people who hate Mulan II (like me), I'd really recommend the new Mulan Book "Feathers and Flame"; it's set a few years after Mulan I and tells a way better love story than Mulan II did
I think Hercules and Meg should be the bronze metal of healthy because yes Meg did tried to kill Hurcules she supports him even when she thought she has no weakness she was happy and tells Hades to get another girl and they both tried to sacrifice their lives
I feel people are a bit too lenient on Ariel and Eric's relationship. He is clearly well into his 20's while she clearly states she is 16.
I don't care that that's how they did things back in the day. I find that to be HIGHLY concerning.
At least he isn't in his 60s. you should care cause things were better back then without all these stupid laws. it's not concerning, you're just a coward.
I thought he was 18
Kita and Milo are so underrated! I loved that couple as a kid and still do!
Not just them, but the whole Atlantis franchise as well. the official sequel and tv series got cancelled cause it the movie didn't meet Disney's expectations at the box office, which is so disappointing, cause it had so much potential.
@@travisboutilier2220 I never saw anything other than the first one - sounds like I need to catch up!
They are!
@@GubbiGap They made a direct to video sequel, which was three episodes of the cancelled tv show, though i wouldn't recommend it, it's so heartbreaking to watch it knowing it could have been something even more.
16:41 THANK YOU!!! OMG!!! If Disney thought that they would make us appreciate this couple for being together now, they are wrong. And for multiple reasons;
1.) Namaari backstabbed Raya and caused all of Kumandra to be overrun with Druun.
2.) Tried to hunt down and kill Raya multiple times for 5 years.
3.) Backstabbed her once again when having the pieces and accidentally "kills" Raya's best (but naive) friend.
4.) Gaslights Raya for being responsible for Sisu's death for not trusting her, when she did and Namaari herself didn't trust them to begin with.
While Raya and the Last Dragon was a good movie when it came to the story, the character development was horrible.
I think the most beautiful relationship is Jane and Tarzan
I have a problem with them, they choose to stay in the hot, sweaty jungle instead of going to England and living an aristocratic life like civilized people.
Im glad you put cinderella and charming high, the prince jumping out of a windown is an iconic scene of my childhood and they are absolutely a power couple
Beauty and the beast defence time…
While belle is the protagonist, Adam is the “hero”, in that is mostly his story of changing and transformation, in all senses. He starts off angry, selfish, and isolated, and gradually learns that actual love means putting someone else before you.
Belle is the first person to ever show him that. She gives up her own freedom to save her father, and when she does the beast is visibly confused.
One of the main points of their relationship is that it develops in the REVERSE of most abusive relationships. Adam is cruel and controlling- belle leaves. They have to wrangle her back with the wolves scene after that. First sign of selflessness from them. Belle only allows Adam to spend any time with her if he is respectful and gentle. He finds he likes being like that. Adam falls in love with her, and wants her to be free and happy more than he wants to be happy by keeping her with him.
It’s got it’s dodgy points. But it’s a heroes journey for Adam, more than it is a romance
Boring? Back when I was young, the Prince's "One Song" melted my heart so much that I sat through "Snow White" twice in the theater. Afterward, I had enough money to eat dinner or buy the "Snow White" LP album [vinyl record]. I bought the album.
2:26 Ariel and Eric
4:50 Cinderella and Charming
8:16 Aurora and Phillip
10:27 Anna and Kristoff
11:40 Belle and Adam
I love anna and kristoff so much so I was caught off guard by the lower ranking. but I guess that's just because I barely watch the second movie since I love their relationship way more in the 1st
Tiana and Naveen are my absolute favourites! One of the best early Disney movies in my opinion! The best music, best character development, the storyline! Even the clothing is accurate!
And of course .. the accents.
I also love Atlantis, The Sleeping Beauty and Tangled
Even tho Alladin and Jasmine could be slightly higher if it were the love action
Even tho it's sad... I think Anna and Kristof is kinda true
Now... BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?
And please... I agree but PLEASE cut Snow white some slack. It was Disney's first princess movie
And if I'm honest I do not ship Mulan and Li Shen AT ALL. But again.. I haven't seen the sequel. I don't really like sequels when it comes to princesses. If I see them it's because of my siblings want to
Disney Parental Relationships: Healthy to Toxic
I'm very disappointed that belle and the beast weren't up high BC in the movie near the end you can see how belle cares for Adam when he is on the ground and the beast gave her a LIBRARY!!!!
I don't care. Belle is a freak for living with her psycho beast in his creepy castle.
Honestly it especially apparent when Crystof has more chemistry with this one reigndear guy in the sequal movie.
Agreed.
To be honest Anna and Kristoff are better off as friends. If they marry they will both just be miserable with one another considering they have no similar life goals, their communication is lacking and Anna really does not put any effort on kristoff. (Plus he is giving up everything for her which will cause resentment at some point) Ya Anna and Kristoff definitely better off as friends.
This was such a good idea. Nice job guys ❤
17.30 What are you talking about??? She did not blame Raya for the accident. Her exact words were 'You're as much to blame for Sisu's death as I am'. And that was the wisdom of the moment
Couldn't agree more with your top 3 for healthy relationships! These couples left big impressions on me as a kid
Prince jumping out of a window, classic!
If were counting sequels/series, are we not going to talk about how Pocahontas chose another John over the first? I wouldn't exactly rank them healthy
Uh the sequel got so much hate John Smith is officially paired with her in the official lineup. Disney kinda disowns it considering its easily its most hated movie
@@kristinahuchison2511 it's still the most historically accurate thing about the whole Pocahontas movies. (The real Pocahontas was about 10(!) when she met John Smith, and there was never any romance involved. (Fortunately!)
@@vger4781 um Disney made disclaimers before Pocahontas even came out it wasn’t going to be a documentary or following the historical route. Having a talking tree, nature magic that fixes the language barrier issue and John Smith being a blonde blue eyed ladykiller should’ve made it obvious. Literally the ONLY thing they took was the legend of her saving his life. I’m not saying Disney was innocent because I kinda find it hard to believe they didn’t think that was kinda a risky move considering how Indians for a long time were portrayed in old fashioned cartoons or especially Peter Pan. But let me ask you this, would you have even heard of Pocahontas or Matoaka if Disney didn’t make her name known? I actually learned some of the real Pocahontas and John Smith when I was little and I didn’t get to watch it until I was older, so I already knew Disney’s was definitely not even close. Plus look at a ton of other original fairytales in comparison to Disney
@@vger4781 oh you want to talk about “historical accuracy” The only parts they kept were her marrying John Rolfe, going to England and reuniting with John Smith. What they chose to exclude: she was kinda forced to marry John Rolfe for peace in a way, had a son Thomas Rolfe before even going to England, she converted to Christianity and became Rebecca Rolfe, or she never got to return to her homeland as she literally died in her 20’s, she’s actually buried in England as well.
Disney made a HUGE mistake in trying to force her with that racist jerk for “historical accuracy” because a very small minority complained about her movie, so Disney stupidly tried to appeal to the minority instead, and that’s exactly why it got so much hate
Pocahontas and Rolfe definitely aren’t healthy but Pocahontas and John smith are a lot better than her and Rolfe
My favourite Snow White theory is that the prince is actually the grim reaper. He rides in on a pale horse to take her to a cloud castle/ kingdom in the sky.
I don’t think Belle and Beast should be in the gray area, they weren’t in a relationship while he had anger issues, they only started falling in love after he started to “fix himself”
Kida and Milo are totally underrated. The whole movie is, actually.
The characterization of Moana as pushy might be a bit uncharitable... She didn't start that way, Maui kinda brought it on himself. Further Maui's behavior might be pretty unacceptable to a person who's used to being in charge. Moana was literally raised to lead her people.
Regarding Beast, he did better than one could expect. He literally started as a villain.
