4098. Prince Charming


Prince Charming is the love interest of Cinderella in the 1950 film Cinderella and its sequels. Prince Charming's biggest role in the Cinderella franchise is in A Twist in Time. He was voiced by William Phipps in the first film and is currently voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes.

In earlier drafts of the screenplay, the Prince originally played a larger role and had more character development than what he ultimately received in the final version of the film. In one abandoned opening, the Prince was shown hunting a deer, but at the end of the sequence, it was to be revealed that the Prince and the deer were actually friends playing a game. In an abandoned alternate ending, after the Duke discovered Cinderella's identity, she was shown being brought to the castle to be reintroduced to the Prince, who is surprised to learn that Cinderella was actually a modest servant girl instead of the princess he thought she was, but the Prince's feelings for her were too strong to be bothered by this and he embraced her.

Prince Charming was actually given a true personality in the franchises final installment. The prince enjoys sword fighting with his father and ballroom dances. He showed he has a comical side and appears to be madly in love with Cinderella willing to jump right out the castle window to rescue and propose to her. His love for Cinderella is extremely powerful being able to free him from Lady Tremaine's curse once he began to remember Cinderella more and more after believing Anastasia is the one he danced with at the ball. The prince once said all he wants is true love.

Trivia
Not only is the name of the Prince ever revealed, he is nowhere in the film mentioned as "Prince Charming". His name was mentioned only in merchandise and, more recently, Kingdom Hearts and Prince Charming's Regal Carousel

The Prince is the first to sing the love song with the heroine followed by Prince Philip with Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty.

He is the first prince to be featured in a wedding celebration. The second is Prince Eric with Ariel, and the third is Prince Naveen with Tiana.

The prince is also the first to dance with the heroine, with Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty being the second.

Unlike the prince in Snow White, he is the first to have a bit more dialogue.

The prince is also the first to live in a castle which is a feature location in the film, with Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid being the second and Beast (Prince Adam) from Beauty and the beast being the third.

He is also the first to be featured sharing almost more than one kiss with the heroine. Instead it is Prince Philip who first shares more than one kiss with the heroine.

The Prince is the first of three to feature his father. Prince Phillip is the second and Prince Naveen is the third.

2040. Cinderella

Cinderella is a fictional character and is the main protagonist from Disney's twelfth animated film Cinderella (1950) and its two sequels. In the original film she is voiced by the late Ilene Woods. The Disney version of the character was based on the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, written in 1634 in Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passé.[1] She is also the second official Disney Princess and the first one with burnt orange (later changed to blonde in the franchise) hair.

Cinderella is a beautiful seventeen year old girl with shoulder-length, bouncy light burnt orange hair done in a French twist as seen with her iconic gown. Her eyes are a lovely shade of blue almost azure and she has rosy pink lips. Her small feet are ideal to her famous glass slippers, of which the famous character she is based on is most well-known for.

Cinderella is made a servant in her own home and is constantly derided by her evil stepmother Lady Tremaine and two stepsisters. Although she is shy and romantic, she maintains hope through her dreams and always waits for her prince to come. She is hopeful to the idea that someday her wishes of happiness will come true. When her evil stepsisters and stepmother prevent her from going to the ball, she is unhappy and fears that her dreams will never come true. However, her Fairy Godmother appears and restores hope. In her childhood, she hardly went to play with other children because of her dreams about the Prince. She adores the mice and birds as her friends. She tries to help her little friends, and they love her dearly.
Cinderella is strong-willed and determined; when the invitation to the royal ball arrives, she does everything she can to persuade her stepmother that she has every right to attend. She is presented in the film as a sympathetic heroine; well-meaning, hard-working, kind and positive.
In Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, her determination is put to the test as she goes through all odds to prove to her Prince that she's his true love. In this film she's seen in a very empowering role and finally learns that if you want a dream to come true, you have to help make it come true.
