fans come from all different countries, cultures, religions, and affiliations of all kind, but there is one thing we can all agree on: deep down, we're all a little bit (or a lot) sappy. disney cine are all about full-blown romance, and every fan has a couple that they love, admire, o want to emulate one day. With that said, here are Fanpop's favorito! Couples: October of 2011.
BTW, the exquisite, beautiful imágenes tu are enjoying were made por the one and only PrincessLullaby. :)
10) mulan and Shang
mulan and Shang took the bottom spot not with a whimper, but with a bang. They were almost unanimously the least popular couple, with fans calling them más friendly than romantic. Their romance seems tacked on at the end, like disney suddenly realized that they were about to end the film with a kickass heroine who didn't have a boyfriend, and God knows we can't have that. Besides that, there is a whole camp of people who believe that Shang actually started falling in amor with mulan when he thought she was a man, which opens up all kinds of interesting doors. (Shameless plug: PrincessLullaby and I will be penning a Philip/Shang fanfic, tentatively entitled "Shillip," coming soon to a computer screen near you!) Anyway, because of their contrived 'romance,' mulan and Shang are squarely at the bottom.
Your Thoughts:
"Mulan/Shang - Well, it hardly exists, in the first movie at least. It seems that they're más in awe of each other rather than actually in love."-- milky-way
"I think their "romance" is not necessarily important in the story line... I think it would have been fine if they just became best friends o something :P"-- callejahLUVsed
9) Tiana and Naveen
This one surprised me a bit. I didn't expect them to be super high, but I didn't expect them to land this far toward the bottom. However, while some fans generally liked them, most people ranged from 'indifferent' to 'downright dislike' about the pair. Many, myself included, don't like how Tiana was suddenly willing to throw away all her hard work for a boy she barely knew, and others just thought they didn't have any real lasting quality. Whatever the reason, Tiana and Naveen were the only pair to give mulan and Shang any sort of competition for the bottom spot.
Your Thoughts:
"opposites attract, he makes her relax, she gives him purpose they compliment each other."--opalrose
"They are unsuitable for each other."--BelleAnastasia
8) cenicienta and Charming
The ultimate fairytale couple proved to be a polarizing one: fans either really like the pair, o genuinely dislike them for their lack of viable screentime together. However, the remarks were mostly positive, if kind of vague on the details. People like the romance factor and the idealistic, amor at first sight theme, but not enough to give Cindy and Charming any real comentarios o votes.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"This romance is like any girl will want! A handsome prince that wants to be with you! I amor them because this ball went, too romantic and sweet! BEST."--PrincessLD
"Cindy/Charming - I don't really like this couple because of the lack of dedication from Charming's end. I mean, seriously, if he loved her as much as he did, then why can't he summon a carriage of his own and look for her instead of summoning those guards? He was the one who looked at Cindy RIGHT IN THE EYE, so he has a better chance of finding her than everyone else...I just find this irritating."-- ppgbelle4
7) Snow White and Prince
Another classic couple bites the dust. Although Snow White and the Prince got the most comentarios and seem to be the most liked of the classic couples, they also tend to be disliked por others for the similar reasons. It's childish, idealistic, fairytale love, and unlike cenicienta and Charming, Snow White and the Prince don't have the benefits of being fully grown adults when this happens. It's a very sweet romance, but one that doesn't seem to have much staying power once Snow White gets around to hitting puberty. However, fans seem to believe that this couple is the cutest (and possibly sweetest) of them all.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"Cutest couple ever! They don't say much to each other but unlike Phillip he sings her his own song not just the same song he heard the princess sing. She never loses hope that he's coming to get her and save her and take her to his castle, and he looks for her for many seasons until he finally found her! <3"-- iHyrule
"Usually, I do not like "love at first sight" couples, but I just find Snow/Prince SO CUTE. Just the meeting that they have; tu can tell Prince is not shallow por any means; when he climbs over the wall, he grins when he sees Snow White, not encantada por just her voice, but her optimism as well. When he apologizes for frightening Snow, Prince is sincere, and he sings for her as well as looking all over the land JUST for her. When Snow woke up, the two are just SO happy and so ecstatic; it is so sweet to watch."--ppgbelle4
6) Aurora and Phillip
Proving that the classics definitely aren't as popular as the Renaissance era couples, Aurora and Philip (i.e. Ken and Barbie) landed tortazo in the middle of the Countdown, the great divide between the high and the low. While this couple isn't great, they definitely are photogenic and kind of sweet, so I think that goes a long way. Some people (*cough*ppgbelle*cough*) find Philip's rather pervy attempts at wooing Aurora kind of creepy (as do I, quite frankly,) but most fans are willing to overlook that and chalk it up to romance, not creeperness.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"I like them and all, but feel like they are almost set pieces and not fleshed out protagonists. The story revolves around the 3 good and 1 bad fairy, and not the humans, so that goes against them."-- hrrypttrfn328
"Aurora/Phillip - Sweet meeting, and I admire Phillip for being prepared to save her, but I've always felt annoyed at Aurora for being más concerned about never seeing Phillip again than she was about meeting her parents for the first time. That kind of reaction makes it seem like más of a teenage crush relationship to me."-- milky-way
5) Rapunzel and Flynn
The proverbial middle-men, Rapunzel and Flynn have their Crazy fans and their Haters. Some people amor the modern-and-yet-still-fairytale romance, and others denounce it as hurried and unbelievable. Regardless, fans on either side of the Raflynnzel fence are very adamant on their decisions. Team Raflynnzel, your remarks?
"they actually go to know each other, they are cute together, they will play around with each other, also he was willing to die so she could be happy, and she was willing to give up her freedom to save him."-- opalrose
And the Haterz, your return?
"This is the worst offender of a half-assed relationship to me. In theory, they should've stayed as friends o a brother/sister relationship; their personalities don't even click with one another as lovers. Their meeting is good, and their disagreements while traveling is good. When they become friends at the campfire, that is also good. But then all of a sudden, they fall in amor for NO apparent reason in "I See the Light." Worst pacing ever."--ppgbelle4
See what I mean? :)
4) Pocahontas and John Smith
This couple was called many things: passionate, romantic, the most realistic couple, but the word that stuck out the most was 'STEAMY.' People cannot get enough of Pocahontas and John's blazing sexual chemistry, as well as their passionate amor affair. These attributes set them apart from other couples, but not so much as their bittersweet ending. I personally like that Pocahontas chooses her family and friends over her boyfriend (unlike another heroine I happen to adore,) :), and apparently, other fans do too.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"Pocahontas/John - The most passionate couple, I swear I can feel the passion coming out of the screen. I particularly respect them for being able to leave each other at the end for más important things, they're not clingy and annoying as a couple."-milky-way
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"They are so passionate and realistic!"--BelleAnastasia
"Oh my gosh, this couple is so HOT! They are both so steamy and passionate (which is one big reason why I amor them, lol), but another reason I really amor them is because they gain respect from one another as they each learn about the other's customs."--ppgbelle4
3) Ariel and Eric
Ariel and Eric were literally neck and neck with the number two couple, but lost out and landed in the third spot por a few points. Ariel and Eric were más people's number 1 than any others, but they also managed to land in several people's lowest spots, making them average out to a good solid three. People amor Ariel and Eric, but sometimes they amor them más seperately. Personally, I amor Ariel and don't like Eric much at all, and some other people feel the opposite. Maybe this is a couple that works best because most people like at least one of the characters, if not the amor story all together.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"Love it from Eric's end. Ariel's, not so much."-fhghu
"Ariel/Eric - It's a little bit silly on Ariel's part, but I adore the way Eric falls for her. I suppose Ariel was very lucky because it seems that Eric is just right for her, they make a very cute couple."-- milky-way
2) aladdín and Jasmine
As I mentioned earlier, this couple beat out Ariel and Eric por a RIDICULOUSLY small amount, but beat them they did. The two enormously popular chemistry boast real conflict, real personalities, and real life-ish situations that fans seem to love. However, the flaw in this couple seems to be Aladdin's excessive lying once he's become Prince Ali. jazmín is a pretty intelligent, kickass girl and most fans believe that she's too great to be lied to, even por someone as likable as Aladdin.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"1.they actually got to know each other 2.they see each others flaws and amor each other anyway 3.she choose him 4.they are the perfect mix of amor at first sight and getting to know each other and falling in love."-- opalrose
"They're real, flawed people with legitimate personalities, and that's so rare to find in any romance movie, much less a disney film."-- phantomrose89
*YES. I did just quote myself. Deal with it. * :)
And finally, the fanpop favorito! Couple is...
1) Belle and the Beast
Of course, the epitome of fairytale and often realistic amor takes inicial the grand prize. The perennial favorito! was mostly led por its realism, relatability, and general appeal. We all want someone to amor us for who we are and see the best in us when we are at our worst. Isn't that what amor is? Beauty and the Beast is the most direct approach to amor that disney has ever created, regardless of its fairytale storyline, and the 'greatest amor story ever told' continues to resound with fans around the world.
YOUR THOUGHTS:
"Not my favorito! couple, but I find them cute because Belle brings out the best in him." -- breebree46
"This is the best couple for me, hands down. I amor how this pairing their time and goes through actual stages, and they end up becoming stronger in the end because of it."-- ppgbelle4
"They're a classic couple. Obviously the story is too good to be true, but it's one of the best romantic fairytales, with Belle being able to see the true person within the Beast. I amor that she will stand up to him when she doesn't like the way he treats her, as it creates a relationship where both are equals."--milky-way
