Desperately Seeking Prince Charming
The Princess and the Frog, which opens today, introduces Disney’s first black princess. It also features another animated trailblazer: a cool prince.
Everett
No discernible dayjob or hobbies except horseriding in forests. Has but 'One Song' to sing, which he does a lot. Unsettling penchant for kissing women in coffins.
Everett
Looks good in a quasi-military uniform. But superpicky about women. Parents have to play matchmaker. Fitness a big concern—can't even catch a woman running in one high heel.
Walt Disney Co. / Everett
A minor royal, yet distinctly sniffy. Turns down Princess Aurora at first meeting. Later reveals a talent for dragon slaying, but kissing a comatose princess shows no respect for boundaries.
Everett
Not a strong swimmer and has a chronic singing voice fetish. Comes with a big wet sheep dog, but sperm count, at least, is not a worry. Ariel is the first princess to have a baby.
Walt Disney Co. / Everett
Reclusive, brooding and moody, not to mention an unresolved dual identity problem. Backwaxing sorely absent. Ditto the most basic people skills. If all men are projects, this is a major fixer-upper.
Buena Vista Pictures / Everett
Vain and spoiled but not without charm. "All women enjoy the kiss of Prince Naveen!" Genuine jazz enthusiast, but roving eye will have be tamed. No royal inheritance unless he stops partying.
