In 2001 I was 25 and watched it purely to check its suitability for my one year old daughter…😊. She is now 22 and we watched both movies again recently. Firm favourites in this house.
Um I was a baby idk exactly what month I'm sure u guys know I was either born or few months old but yea I was born in 2001 so I grew up and obviously born into a legendary and generation of movie and TV shows and artists etc.
I agree and I was born in 2001 born into legacies of movies and albums etc. Like Harry Potter. Invincible album from Michael Jackson and this princess diaries. I have both movies in dvd and 📼
not sure if this was mentioned before, but in the original story/book, the father was still alive, but when Julie Andrews was cast, they were like " alright, kill the dad" LOL
To be fair, in the books he had prostate cancer and that's why he couldn't have more kids and they needed Mia. But I guess that was too much for a kids movie lol
@@AshleyG24601fan As Dom Noble pointed out, Disney has killed off so many parents that it’s now a less objectionable plot point than being a cancer survivor.
So much is changed from the books it has the same idea for the plot but little else. I’ve always wanted to see what the books would look like if they especially grandmere would be hilarious!! And it’s a shame they cut Tina I love her honestly more than Lily (I love the movie so much tho so I’m glad they did it how they did)
More fun facts: when Anne Hathaway auditioned, she walked in and went to sit in a chair, and fell off the chair. Everyone in the audition saw it and said "That's Mia." Also the scene she lit the guy's arm on fire, when she put it in the bucket it was supposed to go out but didn't, so the throwing water is also a "mistake."
One thing I love is how Anne Hathaway and the actress who played her friend Lily, Heather Matarazzo, became super good friends in real life and now they're both working on getting a third film made.
Fun fact about the next movie, Princess Diaries 2. Julie Andrews was one of the greatest singers of all time with a five octave vocal range. That’s something only a handful of people in history can claim. But she had to have surgery on her throat because she had nodes on her vocal cords that needed to be removed. Unfortunately the surgery caused her to no longer have hardly any range vocally at all anymore. But she sings a little bit, more like talking to a rhythm, in the sequel. It was the first time that she had sang since the surgery. Even though it was not the Julie Andrews of the past, it was such an emotional day on the set because a living legend was preforming again that even the teamsters were crying behind the scenes. Not a dry eye in the house! And the thought of that always makes me tear up. 🥺🥲💙💙💙
@@peterlewis2178 Yeah I've seen this happen so many times. They want so badly to say the fun fact that gets spread everywhere that they just comment it without even watching to see if they say it in the video. Like it happened during their Grinch reaction someone commented about how Jim Carrey could do the Grinch smile IRL when they talked about him being able to do that in the video
when did spreading said positive info become bad?? I like reading the comments as I watch thanks I appreciate yours! I knew it already too but it’s nice seeing others know
38:23 a quote by emma watson: ‘I remember on my 18th birthday I came out of my birthday party and photographers laid down on the pavement and took photographs up my skirt, which were then published on the front of the English tabloid [newspapers] the next morning’ ‘If they had published the photographs 24 hours earlier they would have been illegal, but because I had just turned 18 they were legal.’
I'm one of those people who has the unpopular opinion the second movie is even better than this one, so I'm really excited to see your reaction to it. Also, that line from her father's that goes something like "courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision something is more important than fear" lives with me forever 💕
I feel the same way! I do really like this movie, but the bullying and the second-hand embarrassment in high school…I got bullied a lot in middle school so it’s a bit of a trigger for me 😝. So I do like the second one better because of that.
I don't like it more, as the first is my favorite, but I love it. I think the only issue I have with the sequel is that I wish they had gone to a real European location and filmed it.
my reasoning to like the second more is Lilly is supportive in that one while the Lilly in the first one manipulates Mia into revealing something so important and also sidenote: She says Mia shouldn't be worried about her hair while having like 6 mini ponytails
This movie is TIMELESS. And I has SUCH A CRUSH on the guy with red hair. He's nice, he's funny, he's not a jerk and he does magic AND cool hair. What's not to like about him? But I gotta say, growing up having curly hair and glasses on the 00s was a nightmare.
Only a few minutes into this but thank you Nobu for filming this reaction when you are under the weather, what a trooper! Hope you feel better soon!! ✨
Héctor Elizondo as Joe was hands down my favorite my favorite character has frequently collaborated with Gary Marshall having appeared in many of Gary’s films such as _Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride_ and _Valentine’s Day,_ (which I recommend reacting to some of them whenever you have the chance).

@@whitenoisereacts Also big congrats on reaching 116k subs and don’t forget to 👉🏼"❤️"👈🏼 my other comments I put down on this video as well as some of my future comments I will post on your next videos.
another thing that makes the beach scene terrible is that Mia is 15,a minor. so you have the paparazzi taking pictures of an underage girl and then posting it on newspapers
Crazy thing is after this movie came out, this plot happened to a lady here In the USA. Adopted Girl born and raised in Virginia got a call from Sierra leonne, and they said she’s royalty/considered a princesses there. (She went to visit but it was during the war (bl00d diamonds) so she had to decide will she continue her regular life in usa or go be royalty in a war torn country. They are making a movie about her life, the actress who plays zendaya sister on Euphoria will play her.
You have gotten some details wrong. It wasn't that members were kidnapped. One of her uncles is the current chief of one of the tribes in Sierra Leonne, and his father before him etc. I don't remember if she has explained the whole details. But her mother was White American, and she was adopted at the age of one to a white family. It wasn't until she was in her late 20s she looked into her biological family and an investigator found an uncle on her fathers side who explained everything to her. Its quiet a beautiful story.
@@Justafox305 You might be mixing her with Sara Bonetta, who was Queen VIctoria's ward. She was/is believed to have been a titled member of a village who was enslaved and "gifted" to Queen Victoria. She was treated as a normal ward by Queen Victoria who paid for her care and schooling.
First movie I ever saw both Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway. One of my most memorable moments with owning the VHS is having to wait after all the credits at the very end for the music video of “Supergirl” and “Miracles happen”. My little kid self going crazy and looking crazy in my room, when I didn’t know English lol only Spanish.
White Noise Team and that older guy: "I like Charlie" ~ Twilight "I like the Sheriff more and more" ~ Wednesday and now.. "Joe is the best! If it wasn't for JOE.. GENOVIA WOULD BE DEAD!"
So stoked you’re all watching this. I saw this in the theater when it came out and one of my friends even wrote in my yearbook about Jeremiah and his red hair because she had a crush. So iconic - and the sequel is great too. Super cheesy but worth a watch.. Glad that’s next up! 😊
I live for Princess Diaries reactions and this one didn't disappoint! The Joe appreciation *chef's kiss* He has the badass quote in film history in the sequel, I said what I said. So excited for the sequel, I think it's better than the first one. Also, another young Chris Pine (with Lindsay Lohan) cute teen romcom that I used to love too is Just My Luck, you might have fun with that one!
Oooh yay! I can't wait! As a glasses-wearing dorky girl, it's always funny that, in order to be a "proper princess", you have to break your glasses 😂🤓. Always loved this movie!
Yeah, I find it really amusing that my own "blossoming" went the opposite direction from the typical 2000s makeover, in which I went from trying to straighten my hair all the time and not wearing glasses to wearing my hair curly and embracing glasses. XD
Also, I don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but at the fancy dinner when Mia sets that man's sleeve on fire, it was supposed to go out when she puts it inside the ice bucket, but since it wouldn't go out, Anne Hathaway actually threw water on his arm and it was also left in the movie xD
I can think of a few parents off the top of my head who used the "I did it to protect you" card when it comes to an earth shattering secret the kid learns about themselves and their family and quite frankly, it's not a good card. Do these parents not realize this secret they are trying to keep might pop up sooner than expected? Mia just went from normal every day 15 year old high school student to crown princess in 5 seconds and now she has to process this mind blowing revelation that she is going to be a queen someday on top of school. Talk about pressure!
A lot of people don't realize that the kid who played Michael - his mom was Adrienne in the rocky movies. The guy with the red hair - was in the movie remake of footloose and a policeman in Chicago pd. Mia's mom is the rich lady in the movie my life in ruins. Then of course lily is Randy's sister in the scream franchise
@@SOcal92 He is also the younger brother of Jason Schwartzman who is a member of Phantom Planet, their song California is used for The O.C and Rooney was a featured band in one of the episodes. They are also Coppola so lots of talent in that family lmao.
Aww Nobu. Sorry you aren't feeling well but I hope you get well soon! I love that you guys did this movie. It's such a fun time and really well made. I remember I used to watch this over and over as a kid. I'm glad it still holds up today. Joe still has my heart. He is such a wonderful example of a healthy/positive male figure in media. He's so quick to take Mia under his wing despite her being a total stranger simply because he saw that she needed that support and care. Him and the queen were one of my first childhood ships. I loved them together. There's a gentle sweetness between them despite them being so professional around each other most of the time. The mutual respect between them is wonderful. Charlotte was also wonder. I almost forgot how hilarious the neighbour was too. So glad you're doing the sequel.
Chris Pine? You guys also HEARD him as the voice of Jack Frost in 'Rise of the Guardians'. I love this movie, only I could just wish it didn't portray Mia's curly hair as like a negative thing that had to be "fixed" in her makeover.
In the book Mia didn’t want to tell Lilly that she was a princess because of her judgemental superiority attitude towards wealthy people especially royals. They were not on speaking terms when Paolo exposed Mia’s identity to the media. He did it for bragging rights. During the time they were not speaking to each other, Mia spent time with Tina Hakim Baba, the daughter of a wealthy Saudi oil sheikh. She was a social outcast because like Mia, she had a body guard and her father’s high status. She would become one of Mia’s closest friends.
Fun fact you all didn't know... Joe plays the Hotel Manager in Pretty Woman, and the waiter who catches the food and says, "Slippery little suckers," also catches a snail and says the same exact line in Pretty Woman.
Fun fact: The director of this film is the director of Pretty Woman, in that film there is a famous scene where Julia Roberts sends a snail flying and a waiter catches it, it's the same actor with the white hair who nods when Mia asks if the accident is her fault and he's also in the 2nd princess diaries when Mia has another slip up.
Michael was played by Robert Schwartzman, who is the lead singer of the band Rooney. His brother is actor Jason Schwartzman and they're all part of the Coppola acting family.
The actor who plays Joe plays a similar role in Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts. Not sure if you guys have reacted to that but if you haven’t, you should!! I love him!!
so fun to see y'all react to this!! this movie had such a profound impact on me that to this day, whenever I have the window seat on a flight and the plane is circling the area when we're about to land, I hear Joe in my head going "welcome to genovia"😂 except i'm landing in the middle of nowhere in like, wisconsin lmao
The scene where the prime minister and his wife actually take part in what happened to Mia shows that they are truly loyal to the crown matter who it is. They literally just met her and are throwing themselves out there to protect her from embarrassment on her own. You can also see that the prime minister cares about her as he takes time to explain things to her. If I were a ruler of a country, I would want both of them as part of my council.
@@a.g.demada5263 yes, and in the second movie we see that he goes even further. He stands up for Mia while in Parliament without her even being there. Then at her wedding, he guides her in what she needs to do. That man is truly loyal to the crown.
Sorry if it has already been mentioned, but the mean girl Lana is Mandy Moore who was a young pop singer at the time. She would continue acting and later became the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled and the star of the drama series This Is Us. She has come a long way! EDIT: Okay, they did briefly mention Mandy.
I still have the DVD'S of both this and the sequel, because for the first, Julie and Anne commentate while having tea, and for the sequel it's Dame Julie Andrews again with the late Gary Marshall, who literally gives people time to pause the commentary and get snacks. Marshall also sets up deleted scenes, explaining why they were included and then cut once they're shown-just a cool, classy thing for these films.
*repeatedly moves the divider up and down* "Oh, I'd be doing the same thing." "Yeah, at least she's relatable." And then there's people like me, the driver, "No matter how many times you push it, it will go up and down the same way." lol
This film is hands down my favorite live-action Disney film and also Anne Hathaway film in general, thanks for the reaction White Noise. Also hope Nobu gets better soon.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🖤💙
Truly iconic, probably first say it on Disney Channel actually. Also start time I questioned the "straight hair, no glasses" makeover trope. Her frizzy hair was cute.
I looked just like frizzy hair Mia in school. All she needed was a some moisturizer/defrizzer and a good curl routine. And her glasses are cute. If she wanted something less dorky just find a different frame that fits her face better. But seriously I cringe at the reveal every time now. It doesn’t even actually look that great tbh. Maybe it’s the early 2000 style and makeup that makes it look very dated, but it also seems a bit over the top.
Othe Fun Facts: 1. Anne was chosen for the role without doing or saying anything. She just fell off a chair.😂 2. Anne, mentioned in an interview that Julie is coincidentally , a blood relative.😲 3. Oh yeah, here are another interesting things about Princess Diaries and Anne Hathaway: The plot resembles a real life American teenager who discovered she's a daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco when she was about 14. Prince Albert was the son of Princess Grace ( a.k.a. Grace Kelly in Hollywood). I also realized that Princess Grace and Anne Hathaway share the same birthday November 12. Only, Princess Grace died in 1982, two months before Anne was born.😉 Some geeky stuff I know, but it's fun to know stuff😊
We stann for JOE! When I grew up the kids in my neighbourhood did have scooters! It was a fun way to get around the neighbourhood and movies and shows like this probably made it more popular. I also remember seeing an interview with Sandra Oh and her most requested line to deliver in person by fans was "mmhm mmmhm the queen is coming." Great reaction guys!
23:30 Goldfish die so easily in bowls because they aren't supposed to be kept in bowls. They're a pond fish similar to koi that can get nearly 2 feet long and live over 30 years when kept in a 20+ gallon tank. They breed easily, so the young goldfish make good feeders for turtles and larger fish, which is why they're so cheap in pet stores. Their low price tag leads people to believe that they don't require a lot of space and are short lived.
When I first found this movie, a couple of years after it came out, I wanted to watch it because I was a fan of Julie Andrews. This movie helped me to become a fan of Anne Hathaway. My favorite character in this movie is Joe. Anne Hathaway basically became a Disney Princess so early in her career.
This is just iconic, glad you guys enjoyed it! And Stella being like "you didn't wantch Into The Woods where he (Chris Pine) was the prince? WHAT??" was far too relatable, I always hoped you guys would watch that version, it got a lot of mixed reviews but I personally loved it and the cast is amazing (Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, etc, hello?), maybe you should consider watching it at some point:)
The guys from Pink Pop Cast watched this and came up with a whole back story for Joe and now it's cannon to me lol Having your own cable show ran so RUclips channels and podcasts of today could walk
Loved this movie growing up, my clumsy af self was overjoyed to find a character who was relatable lol. I agree that the entire cast of characters were so enjoyable and fleshed out, even side characters like Charlotte had iconic moments.
Ohhhh and Mia's limo driver was Hector Elizondo, who played the hotel concierge in PRETTY WOMAN . You guys should watch Pretty Woman. That's what made Julia Roberts famous
I ADORE this movie, it brings me comfort and even though I've watched it like 30 times, it still brought a huge smile upon my face! Thanks for reacting!!
I was SO hyped to see this! The Princess Diaries is hands down an all-time favorite, iconic movie. Julie Andrews is an icon and such a natural choice for a queen. A third film was supposed to be in the works a few years back, and Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews both said they'd be on board if the original director Garry Marshall came back for it, but then he died. Nowadays, Julie Andrews claims she's too old to come back as Queen Clarisse (never!! 😭) but Anne Hathaway still champions for the film to be made, and I love that she's still fighting for it. I've been holding out hope for the third one for sooo long, but if it ever happens, I NEED it to be centered around Queen Mia, not be a reboot about her child or something.
In the book series there is a reboot of a sort where it is discovered that Mia's dad had an unknown younger daughter in elementary school. Similar hilarity goes on.
I don’t know if you guys have watched this movie already, but you should check out Mary Poppins with both Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Another great iconic movie. 😇
I visited San Fransisco for the first time last year with a broken foot. I can still feel that pain every time I think about San Fransisco's hills or see it in movies.
OMG OMG OMG OMG I can’t believe you’re reacting to this movie now. It’s simply iconic and you’ll be happy to hear there might be a 3rd movie on the way.
Seeing this in theaters with my grandmother is still one of my favorite memories because our relationship was very similar to Mia and Clarisse when I was growing up. 💕 Also, the guy who plays Michael has a real band named Rooney. I got to see them live about 10 years ago which was awesome. My friend went outside for a minute during the opening act because she wasn't feeling well and he came over to see if she was okay. She was so happy when she came back to tell us lol. Btw the sequel is worth watching too! 👑
@@liamisaac1152 That's funny lol. I remember hearing about them because they had a song on the movie soundtrack. I probably saw a behind the scenes interview of him where it was mentioned. Then they performed in an episode of The O.C. a year or two later. Great songs. 🙂
@@katwebbxo they did the theme song for the iron man: armored adventures animated series so I was obsessed with them since then. Such a cool story for you friend to have and lucky you got to see them live! I can imagine they sounded better live. Their music is such a vibe
In a documentary about the director, it was revealed that he picked Anne by showing some of the pics of the actresses auditioning for the role to his young daughter and she picked Anne because she had the best princess hair.
Ahhh, so glad all of you enjoyed and was having fun watching it, because I rewatch Princess Diaries all the time ever since I first watched it as a kid and also I hope Nobu gets better. I really also like to see you guys binge watch some of Anne Hathaway's movies, all of them are so good like Ella Enchanted, Devil Wears Prada, The Witches, The Hustle, Hoodwinked, Rio. Whenever I saw our blueray disc of Princess Diaries, I always get the urge to watch it again and again together with my family.
In case no one has commented this yet: In the books, the father is alive, but infertile due to cancer treatment. When it was clear he wouldn't be able to produce an heir, he had to have Mia tracked down, and then he was her teacher for all the princess stuff, trying to satisfy his mother, Mia's strict and proper "gramere" (French for grandma). When the movie adaption was underway, and the casting team got Julie Andrews, they contacted Meg Cabot, the author of the series, to ask if they could have the dad die so that the grandmother would be the princess teacher. This would give her a bigger part, and make the character more likeable. When they asked Meg if that was okay, she asked who they got to play the grandmother, the team told her it was Julie Andrews, and Meg replied, "Kill the dad."
I'm sick as a dog but seeing this reaction come out brought my spirits up immensely! I actually giggled excitedly when you said you'll be doing the second one next week, I love these movies.
50:00 they just look beautiful in those dresses. Mia dresses is like the prettiest dress she wore in this movie and second part beside the coronation dress.
I never thought about it until now, but since Mia's in 10th grade, the paparazzi trying to get photos of her changing is even more concerning and illegal than what they usually do.
What's interesting about the makeover is that it actually doesn't make her life easier - it gets her the wrong kind of attention, the popular kids thinking she's just trying to copy them, Lily getting pissed off. It just makes her more palatable to the press. I don't know if that was a purposeful deconstruction, but it's interesting. At the same time, I think the makeover did help Mia to maybe start recognizing that she didn't *have* to be invisible, even if part of her still wanted to be. To take better care of herself and stand up for herself. It didn't fix everything, but it was a first step. Note that after the makeover is the first time Mia stands up to Lily.
I know people are pretty skeptical about the kid sitting on Mia, but I will say it has genuinely happened to me at least more than once. Definitely a rare weird occurrence but feasible

One of my most memorable moments with owning the VHS is having to wait after all the credits at the very end for the music video of “Supergirl” and “Miracles happen”. My little kid self going crazy and looking crazy in my room, when I didn’t know English lol only Spanish.
White Noise Team and that older guy:
"I like Charlie" ~ Twilight
"I like the Sheriff more and more" ~ Wednesday
and now..
"Joe is the best! If it wasn't for JOE.. GENOVIA WOULD BE DEAD!"
It’s true!!!
They should see "Pretty woman".
48:14 fun fact, the lady speaking here played the eldest daughter in the Nanny
So stoked you’re all watching this. I saw this in the theater when it came out and one of my friends even wrote in my yearbook about Jeremiah and his red hair because she had a crush. So iconic - and the sequel is great too. Super cheesy but worth a watch.. Glad that’s next up! 😊
Moral of the Story: The thirst for Chris Pine is real.
LMAO
I live for Princess Diaries reactions and this one didn't disappoint! The Joe appreciation *chef's kiss* He has the badass quote in film history in the sequel, I said what I said. So excited for the sequel, I think it's better than the first one. Also, another young Chris Pine (with Lindsay Lohan) cute teen romcom that I used to love too is Just My Luck, you might have fun with that one!
I know the exact quote you’re talking about 😂
It's *SUCH* a good quote!
I was thinking this as I was watching it's such a good moment. Love Joe
Oooh yay! I can't wait! As a glasses-wearing dorky girl, it's always funny that, in order to be a "proper princess", you have to break your glasses 😂🤓. Always loved this movie!
Just a legendary movie!!
Yeah, I find it really amusing that my own "blossoming" went the opposite direction from the typical 2000s makeover, in which I went from trying to straighten my hair all the time and not wearing glasses to wearing my hair curly and embracing glasses. XD
@@juliacalhoun9491 You kind of look like Mia in the beginning of the movie lol.
*breaks glasses* "what do you think about your new look" bro idk i can't see
@@DarleneLesmana hahaha so true! 🤣
Also, I don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but at the fancy dinner when Mia sets that man's sleeve on fire, it was supposed to go out when she puts it inside the ice bucket, but since it wouldn't go out, Anne Hathaway actually threw water on his arm and it was also left in the movie xD
Oh that’s really cool
The pretty brown girl playing Fontana seems like an an underrated actress
I watched this RELIGIOUSLY as a kid like I still know every line including the soundtrack. I honestly think it has to have been well over 50 times!
I can think of a few parents off the top of my head who used the "I did it to protect you" card when it comes to an earth shattering secret the kid learns about themselves and their family and quite frankly, it's not a good card. Do these parents not realize this secret they are trying to keep might pop up sooner than expected? Mia just went from normal every day 15 year old high school student to crown princess in 5 seconds and now she has to process this mind blowing revelation that she is going to be a queen someday on top of school. Talk about pressure!
Believe it or not, Josh Bryant is played by Erik Von Detten who is the voice of Sid in _Toy Story._
A lot of people don't realize that the kid who played Michael - his mom was Adrienne in the rocky movies. The guy with the red hair - was in the movie remake of footloose and a policeman in Chicago pd. Mia's mom is the rich lady in the movie my life in ruins. Then of course lily is Randy's sister in the scream franchise
Oh nice!!!! That’s awesome!!
I can only see Lily as her character Dawn from Welcome to the Dollhouse lol
@@cee3poh888 I'll be honest - I've never seen that
He also has a band called Rooney so his instrument playing is very real. Their self titled album is one of my all time favs
@@SOcal92 He is also the younger brother of Jason Schwartzman who is a member of Phantom Planet, their song California is used for The O.C and Rooney was a featured band in one of the episodes. They are also Coppola so lots of talent in that family lmao.
Aww Nobu. Sorry you aren't feeling well but I hope you get well soon! I love that you guys did this movie. It's such a fun time and really well made. I remember I used to watch this over and over as a kid. I'm glad it still holds up today. Joe still has my heart. He is such a wonderful example of a healthy/positive male figure in media. He's so quick to take Mia under his wing despite her being a total stranger simply because he saw that she needed that support and care. Him and the queen were one of my first childhood ships. I loved them together. There's a gentle sweetness between them despite them being so professional around each other most of the time. The mutual respect between them is wonderful. Charlotte was also wonder. I almost forgot how hilarious the neighbour was too. So glad you're doing the sequel.
Chris Pine? You guys also HEARD him as the voice of Jack Frost in 'Rise of the Guardians'.
I love this movie, only I could just wish it didn't portray Mia's curly hair as like a negative thing that had to be "fixed" in her makeover.
In the book Mia didn’t want to tell Lilly that she was a princess because of her judgemental superiority attitude towards wealthy people especially royals. They were not on speaking terms when Paolo exposed Mia’s identity to the media. He did it for bragging rights. During the time they were not speaking to each other, Mia spent time with Tina Hakim Baba, the daughter of a wealthy Saudi oil sheikh. She was a social outcast because like Mia, she had a body guard and her father’s high status. She would become one of Mia’s closest friends.
The princess diaries really is a iconic movie.
Julie Andrews also played Mary Poppins! Coolest grandma ever! Joe is absolutely the best, my favorite character in the whole movie! 😂
Fun fact you all didn't know...
Joe plays the Hotel Manager in Pretty Woman, and the waiter who catches the food and says, "Slippery little suckers," also catches a snail and says the same exact line in Pretty Woman.
Fun fact: The director of this film is the director of Pretty Woman, in that film there is a famous scene where Julia Roberts sends a snail flying and a waiter catches it, it's the same actor with the white hair who nods when Mia asks if the accident is her fault and he's also in the 2nd princess diaries when Mia has another slip up.
Joe is played by Hector Elizondo. He's featured in almost every Garry Marshall movie.
Michael was played by Robert Schwartzman, who is the lead singer of the band Rooney. His brother is actor Jason Schwartzman and they're all part of the Coppola acting family.
The actor who plays Joe plays a similar role in Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts. Not sure if you guys have reacted to that but if you haven’t, you should!! I love him!!
Omg yes! Pretty woman is a classic:D
And the waiter who says "it happens all the time" was in both movies as well, with the exact same role and line.
@@that.ll_do_pig OMG!! He sure was!!! That’s too funny😂
Yes! I love that movie!!
The crazy neighbor was in Pretty Woman, too. He played the bellhop.
The neighbor Mr. Robatusen was the elevator operator in "Pretty Woman"
so fun to see y'all react to this!! this movie had such a profound impact on me that to this day, whenever I have the window seat on a flight and the plane is circling the area when we're about to land, I hear Joe in my head going "welcome to genovia"😂 except i'm landing in the middle of nowhere in like, wisconsin lmao
The scene where the prime minister and his wife actually take part in what happened to Mia shows that they are truly loyal to the crown matter who it is. They literally just met her and are throwing themselves out there to protect her from embarrassment on her own.
You can also see that the prime minister cares about her as he takes time to explain things to her. If I were a ruler of a country, I would want both of them as part of my council.
You mean, with the ice cream ? That's great and even in the second movie he's still by her side
@@a.g.demada5263 yes, and in the second movie we see that he goes even further. He stands up for Mia while in Parliament without her even being there. Then at her wedding, he guides her in what she needs to do. That man is truly loyal to the crown.
@@Zarathor10 yes without hesitation
Sorry if it has already been mentioned, but the mean girl Lana is Mandy Moore who was a young pop singer at the time. She would continue acting and later became the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's Tangled and the star of the drama series This Is Us. She has come a long way! EDIT: Okay, they did briefly mention Mandy.
She was also in A Walk To Remember
The directors little Daugherty saw Anne's audition tape and said she should be Mia because she had princess hair.
Julie Andrews is a global treasure. This film is such a childhood classic!
I wondered where I saw Mia's mom before.
.
She played Oskar Schindler's wife in SCHINDLER'S LIST
I still have the DVD'S of both this and the sequel, because for the first, Julie and Anne commentate while having tea, and for the sequel it's Dame Julie Andrews again with the late Gary Marshall, who literally gives people time to pause the commentary and get snacks. Marshall also sets up deleted scenes, explaining why they were included and then cut once they're shown-just a cool, classy thing for these films.
Omg no one knows her from Elle Enchanted?? If you guys haven’t seen it, you should definitely give it a chance lol
*repeatedly moves the divider up and down* "Oh, I'd be doing the same thing." "Yeah, at least she's relatable."
And then there's people like me, the driver, "No matter how many times you push it, it will go up and down the same way." lol
Joe is absolutely my favorite character. ..in the sequel as well! Looking forward to the reaction.
The man writing the letter to Mia is actually Anne Harhaway's real father.
This is one Anne Hathaway’s first film in her career
I just realized the national anthem for Genovia sounds vaguely like the national anthem for Canada.
This film is hands down my favorite live-action Disney film and also Anne Hathaway film in general, thanks for the reaction White Noise.
Also hope Nobu gets better soon.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🖤💙
Truly iconic, probably first say it on Disney Channel actually. Also start time I questioned the "straight hair, no glasses" makeover trope. Her frizzy hair was cute.
As a girl with naturally curly hair and who wore glasses for years until I got contacts, that trope always bothered me lol.
I looked just like frizzy hair Mia in school. All she needed was a some moisturizer/defrizzer and a good curl routine.
And her glasses are cute. If she wanted something less dorky just find a different frame that fits her face better.
But seriously I cringe at the reveal every time now. It doesn’t even actually look that great tbh. Maybe it’s the early 2000 style and makeup that makes it look very dated, but it also seems a bit over the top.
Othe Fun Facts:
1. Anne was chosen for the role without doing or saying anything. She just fell off a chair.😂
2. Anne, mentioned in an interview that Julie is coincidentally , a blood relative.😲
3. Oh yeah, here are another interesting things about Princess Diaries and Anne Hathaway:
The plot resembles a real life American teenager who discovered she's a daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco when she was about 14.
Prince Albert was the son of Princess Grace ( a.k.a. Grace Kelly in Hollywood). I also realized that Princess Grace and Anne Hathaway share the same birthday November 12. Only, Princess Grace died in 1982, two months before Anne was born.😉
Some geeky stuff I know, but it's fun to know stuff😊
That's incredible
We stann for JOE! When I grew up the kids in my neighbourhood did have scooters! It was a fun way to get around the neighbourhood and movies and shows like this probably made it more popular. I also remember seeing an interview with Sandra Oh and her most requested line to deliver in person by fans was "mmhm mmmhm the queen is coming." Great reaction guys!
23:30 Goldfish die so easily in bowls because they aren't supposed to be kept in bowls. They're a pond fish similar to koi that can get nearly 2 feet long and live over 30 years when kept in a 20+ gallon tank. They breed easily, so the young goldfish make good feeders for turtles and larger fish, which is why they're so cheap in pet stores. Their low price tag leads people to believe that they don't require a lot of space and are short lived.
My mother's goldfish (she kept it in her classroom) lived 7 years before dying last week when I fishsitting it
Awesome reaction, thanks guys! Get better soon Nobu! You and I are in the same boat right now 🤧🤒
When I first found this movie, a couple of years after it came out, I wanted to watch it because I was a fan of Julie Andrews. This movie helped me to become a fan of Anne Hathaway. My favorite character in this movie is Joe. Anne Hathaway basically became a Disney Princess so early in her career.
I only just now realized, this was more or less a 2nd take on "My Fair Lady" but this time Julie is the one that gives the touch up work.
This is just iconic, glad you guys enjoyed it! And Stella being like "you didn't wantch Into The Woods where he (Chris Pine) was the prince? WHAT??" was far too relatable, I always hoped you guys would watch that version, it got a lot of mixed reviews but I personally loved it and the cast is amazing (Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, etc, hello?), maybe you should consider watching it at some point:)
The guys from Pink Pop Cast watched this and came up with a whole back story for Joe and now it's cannon to me lol
Having your own cable show ran so RUclips channels and podcasts of today could walk
I remember when this movie was available on RUclips and there was a phase where all I’d do is watch the movie.
I hope Nobu is feeling a lot better now ❤️
He is
Charlotte is the daughter of Garry Marshall(RIP) the director of "The Princess Diaries.
Anne Hathaway was 20 years old in this movie.
Feel better Nobu! I noticed in the Daredevil but I completely forgot to comment.
My favorite childhood movie! Could quote the majority of it 😂❤
Loved this movie growing up, my clumsy af self was overjoyed to find a character who was relatable lol. I agree that the entire cast of characters were so enjoyable and fleshed out, even side characters like Charlotte had iconic moments.
In case you missed it, Executive Producer: WHITNEY HOUSTON!!! 🤩
Ohhhh and Mia's limo driver
was Hector Elizondo, who played
the hotel concierge in PRETTY WOMAN
.
You guys should watch Pretty Woman.
That's what made Julia Roberts famous
I ADORE this movie, it brings me comfort and even though I've watched it like 30 times, it still brought a huge smile upon my face! Thanks for reacting!!
I was SO hyped to see this! The Princess Diaries is hands down an all-time favorite, iconic movie. Julie Andrews is an icon and such a natural choice for a queen. A third film was supposed to be in the works a few years back, and Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews both said they'd be on board if the original director Garry Marshall came back for it, but then he died. Nowadays, Julie Andrews claims she's too old to come back as Queen Clarisse (never!! 😭) but Anne Hathaway still champions for the film to be made, and I love that she's still fighting for it. I've been holding out hope for the third one for sooo long, but if it ever happens, I NEED it to be centered around Queen Mia, not be a reboot about her child or something.
In the book series there is a reboot of a sort where it is discovered that Mia's dad had an unknown younger daughter in elementary school. Similar hilarity goes on.
I don’t know if you guys have watched this movie already, but you should check out Mary Poppins with both Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Another great iconic movie. 😇
And chitty chitty bang bang, no Julie Andrews but Dick Van Dyke is in it. Probably my most watched movie from my childhood.
Also, Anne Hathaway also did the voice as Haru from The Cat Returns, a Studio Ghibli movie. 💕
Michael is played by Talia Shire's son. He is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and cousin to Nicholas Cage.
As Queen of Genovia, she can create any Order she deems necessary at any time, and those two gentlemen will never be the worse for it.
I visited San Fransisco for the first time last year with a broken foot. I can still feel that pain every time I think about San Fransisco's hills or see it in movies.
That’s BRUTAL
OMG OMG OMG OMG I can’t believe you’re reacting to this movie now. It’s simply iconic and you’ll be happy to hear there might be a 3rd movie on the way.
Thermopolis is a Greek surname, the "polis" at the end gives that away... it means roughly thermo-city or state.
Oh cool fact
ppl like you guys, give me comfort and peace...you are amazing, really like your type of rxtn videos.
Seeing this in theaters with my grandmother is still one of my favorite memories because our relationship was very similar to Mia and Clarisse when I was growing up. 💕
Also, the guy who plays Michael has a real band named Rooney. I got to see them live about 10 years ago which was awesome. My friend went outside for a minute during the opening act because she wasn't feeling well and he came over to see if she was okay. She was so happy when she came back to tell us lol.
Btw the sequel is worth watching too! 👑
Yes and that's an awesome story!!!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Thanks! It was a great show and he seems like a genuinely nice person from what she described. 🙂
I just learned recently that he was in Rooney even though they were the band of my teenager years 😂😂
@@liamisaac1152 That's funny lol. I remember hearing about them because they had a song on the movie soundtrack. I probably saw a behind the scenes interview of him where it was mentioned. Then they performed in an episode of The O.C. a year or two later. Great songs. 🙂
@@katwebbxo they did the theme song for the iron man: armored adventures animated series so I was obsessed with them since then. Such a cool story for you friend to have and lucky you got to see them live! I can imagine they sounded better live. Their music is such a vibe
In a documentary about the director, it was revealed that he picked Anne by showing some of the pics of the actresses auditioning for the role to his young daughter and she picked Anne because she had the best princess hair.
Ahhh, so glad all of you enjoyed and was having fun watching it, because I rewatch Princess Diaries all the time ever since I first watched it as a kid and also I hope Nobu gets better. I really also like to see you guys binge watch some of Anne Hathaway's movies, all of them are so good like Ella Enchanted, Devil Wears Prada, The Witches, The Hustle, Hoodwinked, Rio. Whenever I saw our blueray disc of Princess Diaries, I always get the urge to watch it again and again together with my family.
No matter how old I get (all of 30 lol) this movie is absolutely a go-to feel good movie for me. Cannot wait for your sequel reaction!!
8:45 Shut up!
14:41 Use your head!
26:20 This was for real and on the Bloopers
28:32 happens all the time
Great reaction all 4 of you. Thank you
In case no one has commented this yet: In the books, the father is alive, but infertile due to cancer treatment. When it was clear he wouldn't be able to produce an heir, he had to have Mia tracked down, and then he was her teacher for all the princess stuff, trying to satisfy his mother, Mia's strict and proper "gramere" (French for grandma). When the movie adaption was underway, and the casting team got Julie Andrews, they contacted Meg Cabot, the author of the series, to ask if they could have the dad die so that the grandmother would be the princess teacher. This would give her a bigger part, and make the character more likeable. When they asked Meg if that was okay, she asked who they got to play the grandmother, the team told her it was Julie Andrews, and Meg replied, "Kill the dad."
Grandma is french is grand mère
I can't wait for you guys to react to the sequel!!!! MY PERSONAL FAVORITE
I'm sick as a dog but seeing this reaction come out brought my spirits up immensely! I actually giggled excitedly when you said you'll be doing the second one next week, I love these movies.
Hope you start feeling a bit better!!
this was one of my favorite movies, i used to watch it all the time ahahaha glad you guys enjoyed it!
Fun Fact : The guy who plays Mia's father is Anne Hathaway's dad :)
Her mother is in the second movie
Your wholesome/edgy reactions are getting me through illness today. Enjoying this way more than when I watched it alone!
Edgy? lmao You must have the wrong channel
50:00 they just look beautiful in those dresses. Mia dresses is like the prettiest dress she wore in this movie and second part beside the coronation dress.
I never thought about it until now, but since Mia's in 10th grade, the paparazzi trying to get photos of her changing is even more concerning and illegal than what they usually do.
What's interesting about the makeover is that it actually doesn't make her life easier - it gets her the wrong kind of attention, the popular kids thinking she's just trying to copy them, Lily getting pissed off. It just makes her more palatable to the press. I don't know if that was a purposeful deconstruction, but it's interesting.
At the same time, I think the makeover did help Mia to maybe start recognizing that she didn't *have* to be invisible, even if part of her still wanted to be. To take better care of herself and stand up for herself. It didn't fix everything, but it was a first step. Note that after the makeover is the first time Mia stands up to Lily.
Bro I teared up just watching this reaction that’s how much nostalgia it has for me
I know people are pretty skeptical about the kid sitting on Mia, but I will say it has genuinely happened to me at least more than once. Definitely a rare weird occurrence but feasible
