Disney Destroys Dreams (Part 2)

Prince Charming is bored at the ball, when all of a sudden, he sees a ravishing beauty at the top of the stairs. He is enraptured by her presence and can hardly wait to have one dance with her. And it is after just the one dance, that our prince friend is madly in love with a practcal stranger. Sounds great right? Definitely not. She rushes off quickly and leaves only a slipper behind for him to find her by--so unrealistic! Then to top it all off, the prince sends out his steward to scour the kingdom for the girl that wears the glass slipper. Ok. Really, come on now, who wears glass slippers? And, how stupid can you be to not find out more about "the girl of your dreams?" If only he had a normal conversation with her first like any other human being would have, he would definitely not be in this pickle. A dance is all he needed? Once again, too bad for our rhymically challenged friends. So, lie number 3) all that it takes for a man to fall in love is a sweet dance with a beautiful maiden. FALSE!

Don't get us wrong, Disney doesn't always screw up. With Beauty and the Beast, we have some real life. The girl initially hates the guy. This really does happen from time to time. Her first impression of the beast is that "he was mean, coarse and unrefined." But soon we find that "now he's dear and so [she's] sure, that now there's something there that wasn't there before." Once Belle moved past the harsh exterior that was the beast's appearance, she found the core him and fell in love, not with his looks, but with him. This is how all Disney productions should be, true to life in all aspects, minus the whole being turned into a beast thing, that doesn't really happen. Truth number 1) all that it takes for a man to fall in love is not appearance, singing or dancing, but seeing someone for who they really are and loving them for it. TRUE!
