~ FANPOP'S FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCES! ~ Spring of 2015

11- The Prince
10- Prince Charming
9) Kristoff
8) Shang
7) Aladdin
6) Phillip
5) Naveen
4) John Smith
3) Flynn Rider -He's a funny, charming, romantic thief I can't get enough he seems like such a fun person to be around just like his princess and could definitely show a girl a good time seeing how he completely changed from being a self centered thief only interested in money into the trustworthy compassionate prince we love!
2) The Beast - After he saves Belle everything changes we see the true side of the beast as he transforms into someone that is a kind, gentle, loving, and compassionate who completely sacrifices his own happiness setting his love free to take care of her father knowing he may never see her again is one of the most beautiful acts of selflessness I've ever seen I absolutely adore the beast with all my heart!
1) ❤️Prince Eric -What I love most about Prince Eric is that he's just like any other guy just looking for the right girl knowing she's out there somewhere he's determined to find her after he is saved even though he has just heard her voice. I also love despite Ariel not being able to speak he takes her to his castle anyway showing his sweet, kind, and caring side he's also incredibly protective, loyal, courageous, brave, and selfless when he saves Max and Grimsby but this really shows at the end of the movie as he rushes to defend Ariel from Ursula when it comes to the ones he loves you can bet Eric will be right there to save the day!

11) John Smith
I don't really care for him. He's bland to begin with, and his change is rushed.
10) Prince Charming
*rolls eyes*
9) Prince
Aw! He's sweet and passionate. I wish we'd explored his personality more, because I feel like if we did, I'd really love him.
8) Naveen
Makes me laugh! He isn't really a great, great character but he's funny and has his moments that make me melt.
7) Kristoff
A bit too modern, with crappy jokes sometimes, but I love him. He's so introverted and awkward. He's kind and accepting if you look deeper though.
6) Prince Phillip
I love his subtle sense of humor. He's brave and dashing and ahhhh. I love him and Aurora together. He's a tad bit blander than my top 5 though.
5) Flynn Rider
Hilarious. I love his change of heart. He develops 10 times better than Rapunzel,and is sarcasm is life. His only downfall is his cheesy jokes.
You broke my smolder.
4) Shang
He's amazing. Selfless, humble, and brave. He's strict and serious, but he has that simple sense of humor and he has dreams of honor. He of course has that awkward side though!
I simply like the others more.
3) Beast
I love his development and character. He's incredible. That's all I wish to say.
2) Eric
My ideal boyfriend. Kind, sweet, a bit shy, loyal, and believably brave. I literally LOVE him<3
1) Aladdin
One of my favorite animated characters. He's insecure, but covers it up so well, brave, fun, and kind-hearted. He has flaws, but in the end he tries to clean up his mistakes. He develops and learns many lessons, and proves himself a great friend to Genie. I love him more than words can tell.

1. Eugene/Flynn - The best thing about Eugene and Rapunzel's relationship is that he didn't even really have to change. Rapunzel didn't demand for him to alter his ways, and if they hadn't been tricked by Mother Gothel, I could see them running off into the sunset with him still stuck in his old ways. But he DID change, and that's the beauty of their whole relationship and him as a character. He didn't do it "to get the girl" but because he truly realized the error of his ways. He's kind, intelligent, sarcastic, empathetic, selfless, and even able to find the oddness in bursting out in song. Definitely my fave.

2. Shang - People accuse him of being a bit stiff and not having much fun, but we have to think about the context. It's the middle of a war, and he's a general with troops that are falling apart around him. These men are his responsibility, and they will only stay alive if he is able to direct them on the best path. I'd be alarmed if he WASN'T so stiff. He's intelligent, compassionate, resourceful, and most importantly, humble enough to realize the error of his ways.

3. Beast/Adam - While it might be a bit hard to be friends with him in real life, I do find him one of the most interesting men in the Disney line-up. He's very flawed person, but I love how hard he works later on to better himself.

4. Philip - He's the personification of Prince Charming and probably the least realistic as well. But I love to imagine that a person like him really does exist. He's brave, charismatic and isn't afraid the power that comes with being Prince. But most of all he's willing to do away with convention and marry the girl of his dreams. And he loves her enough to even fight a dragon. That's commitment.

5. Aladdin - He's probably one of the most realistic princes in the line-up, given how selfish he is. But he works hard to overcome it, and has a good heart.

6. Eric - I love how optimistic he is about finding the girl of his dreams, and how dead set he is on finding her. Most importantly though, I like that he shows his ability to listen to reason. I think he'd end up being an excellent ruler.

7. Naveen - He is definitely a charmer and I think he truly does learn his lesson at the end of the movie. I mean he's willing to even stay a frog forever that way he can be with Tiana. And this is from the guy who was a womanizer, and prized himself for his looks.

8. Charming - I think he gets a bit of a bad rap. Sure, he is bored during the ball, but that's because he didn't want to get married. Also, the fact that he immediately doesn't tell her he's the Prince, and that he lets her believe he's just a servant or guard shows he's not really obsessed with his status, and is more interested in love than anything else.

9. The Prince - He's sweet and cute, and I can see how heartbroken he is when Snow dies, but that's really all there is to him.

1. Naveen — Honestly I think he has the most fleshed out character development of the Disney Princes, and he's super funny.
2. Aladdin — Yeah, who doesn't love Aladdin? He's not perfect, but he's entertaining, engaging and relatable.
3. The Beast — He starts out a completely irredeemable character, but his redemption arc is actually pretty believable.
4. Flynn/Eugene — The whole "charismatic thief with a tragic backstory" thing might've felt overdone and predictable, but I really like his character.
5. Shang — We see some subtle development in him, which is always good.
6. Phillip — Kind of archetypal, but still enjoyable to watch.
7. Kristoff — Like all the protagonists in this movie he's "quirky", but his odd habits are more believable and entertaining.
8. Eric — He's pretty bland, honestly.
9. John Smith — The fact that I forgot to add him attests to how I feel about this character.
10. Prince Charming — Yeah, he's just a sort of Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card for Cinderella rather than an actual character.
11. The Prince — Nothing against him, but he just has so little screentime.

(Copied and pasted from my Disney Princes article, with subtle editing.)

1. Prince Phillip

My favorite will always be the charming, brave, handsome, funny, and romantic PRINCE PHILLIP!

He's basically my ideal man. Phillip is just an all-around great character. Not only does he possess all of the attributes in the previous paragraph, but look what he went through for Aurora! He went up against the Mistress of All Evil and All Her Powers of Hell with nary a complaint, and only because the woman he loved was in danger.

With Phillip, we have a prince that was willing to risk everything--his title, his relationship with his father, and even his life--for the peasant girl that he loved. That's seriously impressive!

I love how he just pulses with personality, from the moment he comes onscreen as a child (what a far cry from his predecessors, One Song and Charming!!). Even more, he's classically handsome and looks athletic, and he obviously knows his way around a sword. Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather couldn't have defeated Maleficent without him, and that's a definite accomplishment.


2. John Smith

I really like John Smith's adventurous spirit and how he can open his mind to communicate and fall in love with Pocahontas so easily. It's also refreshing how "grown up" their relationship is, and I don't mind that the whole thing is metaphorical (obviously they don't actually bypass the language barrier that quickly).

It's very romantic to me how Pocahontas and John Smith represent a true meeting of the hearts, and how they transcend their cultural boundaries to be together. I practically cry at the ending every time I watch the movie.

The only problem is that I don't find the closeups of him particularly attractive. He looks pretty good in motion, but I don't like his features and curiously stiff hair.


3. Shang

What a man!

Mulan was, bar none, my favorite Disney movie when I was little. It got me through a week-long hospital stay when I was four and afflicted with a near-fatal case of double pneumonia. I watched it around the clock, and I know the movie in and out even to this day.

And, as is deserving of such a great movie, Mulan has an equally great "Prince". Shang may be very serious, but he kind of has to be, what with being a captain in the army. (And I giggle at my head-canon of him starting to fall in love with Ping!Mulan and second-guessing his sexuality. But that's a different article entirely!)

Basically, Shang's placement on this list can be summed up in the sequence of "I'll Make a Man out of You".

11. Prince Charming

1.Beast- He’s been my favorite since I can remember! I relate so much to his insecurities about his looks, his fear that the person he loves won’t love him back, and the way he hides his vulnerabilities behind his anger. I find it poignant that he strives to become a better person with no guarantee that he’ll ever be rewarded and that he gives up his chance at happiness so Belle can have hers.
2.Naveen- I love his fun-loving side, and unlike most people, I find his vanity at the start of the movie funny, but behind that self-absorbed exterior, he can be very sweet and caring. His development wasn’t rushed, and I love that he was able to learn humility and responsibility without losing the fun side of his personality.
3.Aladdin- the thing I love most about Aladdin is his optimism. Although he doesn't like his lot in life, he doesn't become bitter and angry or allow his circumstances to define him. He stays confident and hopeful and never stops trying to better himself.
4.Flynn- Here’s a reformed character done right! His motivations, both as a thief and a hero, make sense, and his change of heart has a believable emotional context and happens over time, not randomly all at once. I especially love that he works hard to earn a second chance instead of just asking for one.
5.Eric- He’s romantic, charismatic, and easygoing. I think it says a lot about him that he was willing to put his life on the line for Max and later Ariel, but my favorite thing about Eric is that he isn’t willing to settle for anything less than his dream girl. Some people find that superficial, but I think it shows great optimism and self-confidence.
6.Phillip- Definitely my favorite of the classic princes! I have a tremendous amount of respect for his courage and selflessness, and I like that he’s not afraid to stand up for himself and what he wants but doesn’t go about it in an unkind way.
7.Shang- Shang’s really grown on me lately. While he may seem a little aloof at times, he’s honorable, selfless, and humble. He never demands anything of his men that he doesn’t demand of himself, and I love that he’s not too proud to admit when he’s wrong.
8.The Prince- Although he doesn’t get much screen time, he seems like a sensitive, romantic person. I like him and wish I could put him higher, but unfortunately we just don’t know much about him.
9.Kristoff- I like that he’s practical, but I think the writers were trying so hard to make him seem the awkward loner that they overshot the mark, so instead he comes across as rude and brusque. His change of heart toward Anna was too abrupt to be believable, and his backstory raises more questions than it answers.
10.Prince Charming- If this was based on the live-action version or the sequels, he would be a lot higher, but this version of Prince Charming just doesn’t interest me. I don’t dislike him; I just prefer others.

Sorry for my late participation. :/

1. Eric He's handsome without being conceited about it; self-sacrificing, and noble. Eric does not carry a chip on his shoulder, nor come with predisposed ideas of his own "value" to a girl: i.e., his ego isn't large.
2. Shang Disciplined, self-sacrificing, loyal, logical, willing to show mercy under pressure, and his biceps and torso are impressive. lol.
3. Flynn I usually don't like his type: "the player." Flynn's ego is why he is not my top prince. But he manages to let go of his ego (the idea that girls should swoon over him), and in the last half of the movie becomes self-sacrificing.
4. John Smith I like his go-getter attitude, and his wanderlust. He's willing to adapt, and to understand a culture far different from his own ( even if a pretty native is one of his reasons to do so). Plus, he's self-sacrificing, so yeah, I like him.
5. Phillip Noble, self-sacrificing ( oh, wait there is a pattern emerging, sorta-- isn't there?), able to remain undaunted by the terrors and obstacles he faces. He is the old "classic prince" I think of when I read old literature.
6. Aladdin His ego kinda lands him here. I love him, otherwise. I mean, Al is funny, down-to-earth, and a dreamer. But I just can't help feeling he is a touch "player." And he lies to Jasmine like a rug.
7. Beast He's abusive until he learns to be kind. Need I say more? Besides having a Michelangelo-Sistine-Chapel- style hairdo as a human, there isn't much I "feel" except the STRONG need for him to learn to be generous with others before the clock runs out. At least he has character development, right?
8. Charming I like him. Most people don't, but I do. He has some traits that resemble Eric's. He's noble, and self-sacrificing. He agrees to his dad's idea of hosting "a ball," because he loves his father, and has a strong relationship with him. Most people forget all of that, simply by stating that Charming is bland and fails to have much screen time in the cartoon version.
9. The Prince Ferdinand A sweet guy, with a nice voice, and he's a cute match to Snow, because he is also so cheerful, resilient, and bubbly.
10. Naveen He's a spot-on "player." He is a major flirt, and reminds me of Gaston. He thinks the females should swoon all over him, and he has an outsized ego, even with empty pockets. ( His parents cut him loose. I can see why they did. He is not mature at all, and not really handsome, either, with his greasy hair). And his self-sacrificing moment is only deciding to remain a frog and kissing the correct girl: not Lottie, but Tiana. Eh. He's moderately funny, but not a stable guy.
11. Kristoff Cynical, pessimistic, and prejudiced towards the female sex. Not to mention, Kristoff is overly judgmental towards Anna ( thinking she can't do anything right). Plus, he has features like clay or play-dough. That's fine for a Wallace and Gromit feature, but for a prince? No.
