How to be a Disney Prince

A Chapter by MandaBear

Here are some ways to be a Disney Prince! (Kind of Long just fair warning)

Have you ever wondered what it took to be a Disney Prince?

Well, I am here to give you some pointers of how to become a Disney Prince.

So you might think it's all looks and no heart. Not true! Which brings us to pointer number one.

1. How to get a Princess not solely based on your looks.

Now we take this tip and relate it to "The Beast" from Beauty and the Beast.

Of course at the end of the movie she did get with her "Beast" not solely for his looks.

As many of you may or may not know "The Beast" actually had a name amazingly it wasn't Beast.

It was Adam. I am sure as most of you know Adam wasn't always the roaring animal that you saw in the beginning. Adam had turned away an older women seeking shelter. What he didn't know was he has just turned away an enchantress who saw no love in his heart for others. The only way he could break the spell was to learn to love another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted rose feel, which would bloom until his twenty first birthday. Who could love him if he looked like a beast? When Belle came along she has to fall for the heart inside the body of the creature and he in turn had to learn how to love Belle. He never tried to use his looks because he thought he was ugly and no one would love him because of his beastly looks. (And his nasty attitude) So for this pointer all you have to do is make an enchantress mad and try to make a girl fall in love with before the rose runs out of petals or before your next flee bath. (which ever comes first)

Now we have examined the "Looks" end of being a Disney Prince. Lets look at the factor of "Looking Rich without actually being rich"

Tip number 2

2. How to get the Princess if looks just aren't enough

For this example we turn to Prince Aladdin from Aladdin

Some might say "Wait, Wait Princess Jasmine totally fell for Aladdin based on his looks." While yes that's true at first later on in the movie she totally falls for him because she thinks he's rich. Why does she think this? Well, in case you haven't seen the movie Aladdin comes across a genie in a lamp and rubs it and gets three wishes. His very first wish was to become a prince instead of the "street rat" he was. Just to impress Princess Jasmine. It goes without saying that he most certainly used his looks to get his girl and the power of "looking rich without actually being rich". While looks did play a major role Aladdin's plan does back fire on him. Jasmine finds out that her so called "Prince" was the so called "street rat" she has met on her escape from the palace and not the "Rich" Prince Ali she has come to know. However, with the events that followed he did save her life and got his girl. (Partially because of his looks and the fact that he saved her life). For this pointer it seems sure you can be good looking but get yourself a genie and wish yourself to be rich to get the Princess. All your problems will be fixed. (until she finds out you lied to her)

Alright so we know we have to be Good looking and Rich. So what else could possible be left? Well, tip number 3.

3. Rescue her from some kind of evil in her life

As most of Disney's princes goes they all seem to save the life of their fair lady. For this pointer we are going to use Hercules. Why? well, he did a lot of saving. Despite the fact that most of his problems started with meeting his lady Megara. Being the son of Zeus has it's perks. Being a God and all. Hercules was stolen as a baby and placed on earth. At first our hero doesn't know this but later his earth parents did tell him where he did come from. Later traveling to find his father Zeus's temple. When he gets there Zeus then explains that if Hercules can become a True Hero, he'll be able to return to Mount Olympus and rejoin them. In the story he finds this girl Megara and instantly falls for her. Stumbling upon her she is in need of rescue from a horrible monster. So Hercules does save her although grateful she is not into his looks at first. So as of right now strike one looks is out so how does he fair with looking rich without being so? Well, at this point he doesn't have much so we kind of infer that he doesn't look rich. strike two. The only thing going for him right now is the Rescuing. Fear not! Hercules does later win more fights with monsters and does gain money and nicer clothes. Alright so two things now just one more! Megara things about Hercules and does like the way he looks which makes her fall in love with him. Granted that isn't the only reason. So at first his looks didn't get the girl (later it helps), Looking Rich without being so and has Rescued his girl.

Okay, So while looks, money and chivalry play a major part in being a Disney Prince. What about personality? Does that have anything to do with it? While I tend to agree some what I don't agree with others. Let me tell you why.

1. The Prince ( Snow white)- I think in this entire movie he has about 3 lines maybe 5. So really he doesn't get a chance to form a personality. Let alone even a name!

Saves his princess- Kissing on the lips (After she eat the apple from the witch)

2. Prince Charming ( Cinderella)- Again like The prince of snow white you don't see him long enough to form a character or a personality. Again or even a name!

P.S. I found out his name is Henry. Who knew??

Saves his princess- matching her glass slipper to her foot (I am sure kissing her somewhere long the way)

3. Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty)- He does get 20 lines through the whole movie still not much to form character or a personality of his own.

Saves his princess- Kissing on Lips (after defeating Maleficent)

4. Prince Eric (Little Mermaid)- This is where we kind of see a personality. Shallow in some ways but acting like a "typical" guy in others. While he teaches us that he likes girls that are pretty and don't speak. He does show that despite that fact he "falls in love" with Ariel.

Saves his princess- Kills Ursula by impaling her (kissing comes later)

5. Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast)- Mr. personality. At first he was a pompous jerk later getting his karma handed back to him. As he progresses you find a loving, caring and fun guy underneath all that fur.

Saves his princess- once from a pack of wolves. (The other times it was Belle who saved him)

6. Prince Aladdin (Aladdin)- Like Adam Aladdin has personality. Cheery, bold. loving, resourceful. He however is not without flaws. As most people and princes are. He lies and acts arrogant. You can tell he has a personality unlike some other princes.

Saves his princess- from Jafar twice

7. Captain John Smith (Pocahontas)- While not really a prince per-say I decided to include him anyway. John smith was involved with a princess(being Pocahontas). His personality does show maybe not right away be we know he does have one. He's Brave, determined ,adventurous ,witty ,caring ,and loving. Granted he doesn't get the girl in the end. You can say that he did and most likely was Pocahontas's first love.

Saves his princess- from this men from England

8. Li Shang (Mulan)- Again like John Smith not really a prince per-say but he is my favorite so I am going to include him. This one is a tough-cookie. He was Dashing, heroic,bashful, over analytic, and awkward. Li Shang never didn't have personality which made him so great. You know who he is and he tries to not waver from it.

Saves his princess- Helps against the Huns (Mulan saves his butt though)

9. Prince Naveen (The princess and the Frog)- This prince has a interesting time getting is princess. Mainly because they turn into frogs! Prince Naveen is fun loving and somewhat lazy but still a educated philanderer. Despite this, when he realized he didn't know how to do anything, he seemed saddened by it. He makes a promise to help Tiana and was dedicated to see it through.

Saves his princess-helping her get her restaurant and turning her back into a human

10. Prince Flynn Rider ( Tangled)- Last but not least Prince Flynn. While quote unquote the bad guy in the beginning he turns out to be the good guy.

At first cocky, arrogant, and a little self centered. Toward the end he becomes loving, romantic and humorous. He may not have started out with a good personality you know for sure he has one.

Saves his princess- From her evil women claiming to be her mother that only wants her hair to keep her young.*cuts her hair to beat the evil women*

Before risking being incredibly long. I will say being a prince seems a little easier than being a princess. So what have we learned? As long as you have Good looks, Money(or appear to), an are able to rescue your lady love you to can be a Disney Prince. Don't forget about personality! I hope you enjoyed learning about how to be a Disney prince. I hope if you do become a Disney prince you will look at my pointers and use them to your advantage!

The biggest and most important line in determining who can be a Disney Prince is if he can say the following lines with conviction, "But I don't want to marry a princess !" :)

As for your research, it is extensive but I don't think Disney ever gave too much thought to the Prince as often he only appeared at the end of the movie and even then his lines were often:

"Who are you ?"
"I didn't know it was you."
"That was you ?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"I didn't mean to fail you."

Often, just before she gets kissed. :'3

Outside of Snow White he also doesn't break into a hearty baritone song to show his masculinity and virility. I guess that all comes later.
