Disney made us all believe in magic and the power of love. But if looked at logically, were all these fairy tales just messing with our heads...and hearts? How many of these couples would, in reality, still be living happily ever after?
Ariel & Eric
This chick had to undergo major life changes for her man. Plastic surgery and abandoning her family to the extreme. That would put strain on any normal couple, but add Ariel's affinity for hoarding, and the next neat item in her collection could be separation papers.
Aurora & Prince Phillip
This fairy tale is set way before online dating, so Aurora couldn't learn about her prince by a simple click of a button. This is a classic story of a young crazy couple getting hitched before getting to know each other. Maybe if they had gone on some dates before marriage, it would've worked out....if Aurora wasn't so busy getting her beauty sleep.
Belle & The Beast
When we left off, The Beast went from looking like Zach Galifianakis to David Beckham. Things are perfect! ....right? Wrong. Unless he went to some Anger Management classes and those scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, he's still got that temper, honey. Not to mention, having singing, dancing pots and pans is cool every once in a while (hello holiday party!) but magical dinner theater is a pretty intense nightly affair.
What's the lesson here? I love Disney movies, they are a great way to escape from reality, but not necessarily a place to learn about love and relationships. Every marriage has its issues, none of them are perfect...not even for a Disney princess.
Love this!
