This is something I've been mulling over for the past couple years, ever since I rediscovered my tình yêu for the Disney Princesses and began to watch all the old movies. We all know that Disney tends to take liberties with its merchandise (think Cinderella's silver áo choàng that suddenly turned blue), but this one may be something that the những người hâm mộ have imposed upon the movies.
Recall, for a moment, Monsieur Walt Disney's first two princes, generally referred to as The Prince and Prince Charming due to the fact that they strangely remain nameless for the entirety of their movies, despite being the heroines' eventual one true loves. (The authorities are still unsure as to how this grievous lapse of information occurred.) Both are dreamy, handsome, romantic, and famously underdeveloped characters.
Many of bạn are probably wondering what it is about them that I take issue with. Well, my dear readers, I ask bạn here and now, which one of them is actually Prince Charming?
"Why, Cinderella's prince, of course!" bạn reply confidently.
INCORRECT! And I have evidence to prove it, my friends, cold hard evidence!
bạn may remember a certain scene from the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in which our fair princess sings of how one ngày her prince will find her and carry her off to his lâu đài where they will live forever in happiness and comfort. Just before this song begins, Snow White is asked bởi one of her dwarven company whether hoặc not it was hard to fall in love. In response she laughs "It was very easy! Anyone could see that the prince was charming; the only one for me."
Just mull over that line for a moment... Done? Good. Now I don't know about you, but I don't ever recall Lọ lem describing her prince in such a way. Thus, I must conclude that Snow White's prince is the real Prince Charming, meaning Cinderella's prince is an impostor! Who is he really and why has he conspired to steal another noble prince's identity? None can say!
And so, without further ado, let the commenting begin!

Bland, like white bread.
Boring, like vanilla ice cream.
