Skye Reynolds 10/08/19 3:03:40 PM #1:	70% of their animated movies with human protagonist have a beautiful woman falling in love with a prince. Sometimes the girl is a princess, most of the time she's not. Even fucking TARZAN was retroactively made into a Norwegian prince. I guess "Lord of the Jungle" wasn't literal enough for them. It even creeps into animal movies now and then. Simba and Bambi are royalty and their girls are not. Aladdin and Frozen are the only times a normal dude got with a princess (and Frozen shouldn't count because he got with the bland sister). And you never see a non-royal man get with a non-royal woman unless they're background characters like the parents from Peter Pan or the couple from 101 Dalmatians. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:928507857] in What is Di...

Nice to see Disney defending good old-fashioned institutions like marriage and er monarchy, apparently. --- Bury me deep. <cite>Firewerx posted [p:928507965] in What is Di...

Its an easy concept to produce and at some point, the idea of "A NEW PRINCESS" being introduced became a big deal that gave the movie a lot of free publicity.

Rapunzel didn't marry a prince. she married a petty thief. Who is now a Prince. Yeah the Tangled cartoon just revealed that Eugene is the lost prince of a dead kingdom.

They've also taught us that pigs often rely on cheap and substandard construction materials when building homes, that your bedridden grandmother might be a wolf in disguise, and that elderly women living alone in the woods will almost certainly try to eat your children.
