Children love to hear love stories in stories. Backed by a long oral tradition, Walt Disney delights us in his children’s films with a multitude of tales of princes and princesses; more princes than princesses, to tell the truth. Without going into assessing the expiration of those love stories that may need some review of the roles assigned to women and men, we review some of the most exciting Walt Disney love stories.
7 Disney love stories
- The little Mermaid. This is the story of Ariel, a mermaid princess who lives under the sea and whose greatest wish is to have legs. A whole story of forbidden love between a sea dweller and an attractive human prince.
- Pocahontas. somehow based on a true story, Pocahontas is an indigenous girl who falls in love with one of those conquerors of the new world, John Smith. We warn that it is a love story with a sad ending.3Snow White. Snow White is a moving story of idealized love. A princess whose only goal in life is to find her prince charming and while she waits she entertains herself with the seven dwarfs.
- Cinderella. there are no social differences that prevent this love story between a girl mistreated by her stepmother and a handsome fetish prince who is looking for the love of her life through a glass slipper.
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame. A curious impossible love story that becomes a friendship between the hunchback Quasimodo and the beautiful gypsy Esmeralda. The highlight of the film is undoubtedly that, finally, some gargoyles in a cathedral come to life as they have threatened to do for centuries.
- Beauty and the Beast. As an exemplary fable, Disney sends a clear message in this film and that is that beauty is inside. Although the truth is that the ending is somewhat contradictory to the content, since the beast once again recovers its figure as a handsome prince.
- Sleeping Beauty. The beautiful Aurora suffered from some sleep disorder, or else she pricked herself with the use of a spinning wheel and set a curse in motion. The fact is that she stayed sleeping a dream for all eternity. But since eternity does not last forever, one fine day she was lucky that a prince with necrophilia’s tendencies kissed her and managed to wake her up.
