Anyone who knows about kids' movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot of the times male characters are just antagonists or at least stand in the way of the princess. I'd love to see a movie with a young prince who isn't evil or dumb (as a joke) that kids can relate to. I think it also be cool if there was singing or magic or anything mystical. My kid kind of likes Shrek but I was hoping to find one about a human prince. The protagonist in the movie The Lorax is a young boy on a good mission, and we like that movie too, but we're just looking for something bigger. I'm not looking for a movie that's primarily fighting, a little is okay, but I'd really prefer if the main focus was some honorable endeavor. Am I just missing the prince movies, or are they all about princesses instead?
Flynn has no redeeming qualities. He just confessed to a teenager.
I do like that movie though. The mother in Tangled is actually a good way to teach kids some important lessons about abusive relationships without being super dark. She demonstrates over-defensiveness, love-bombing, gaslighting, etc.
It was a way to teach my kids about how you can lie even though every word you say is true. If you listen to the mother, pretty much everything she says is technically true, but in almost every line she has, she is being deceptive.
Haha, yeah fair enough. Maybe I was just won over by his hair… which is really saying something, given the movie.
Agreed, the mother is an excellent villain all round.
Isn't he supposed to be like 18 himself?
