[@laurynhoy]

You missed the part about why we never see Morgan's mother: she left. So my theory is that Robert met her when he was in law school and he asked her to marry him when he was finishing his degree and when she was pregnant with Morgan, Robert got a job as a divorce lawyer since it was the only one he could afford but he told her that it was only temporary. But 1 year later after Morgan was born, Morgan's mother probably couldn't take it anymore and just left, leaving Robert with divorce papers and her signing him full custody of Morgan. Which would also explain why Morgan doesn't remember her mother.

[@jiuada]

divorce lawyers make big $$$ tho so i don’t think he would want to leave that job.

[@laurynhoy]

Prince Edward is my favorite character in this movie. He's so funny! Love him. ♥️

[@idislikelife8473]

Fun Fact: a lot of the background characters are actually the voices of iconic Disney princesses. The secretary is Ariel (which I think is why Giselle spits out a fish infront of her), the girl on the tv is Belle (You can hear "Beauty and the Beast" playing in the background of that scene), one of Robert's neighbors is the singing voice of Pocahontas, also Mary Ilene Caselotti (the news reporter) is named after Mary Costa, Ilene Woods, and Adriana Caselotti who voiced Aurora, Cinderella, and Snow White. Nancy is also played by Elsa's voice actress but this wasn't intentional since Frozen wasn't in production at the time.

I love that Nancy truly is a good step-mum (or would be, if they did get married). Neither she nor Edward were bad people in any way. Nancy didn't hesitate to let Robert kiss Giselle, because at the end of the day, another person's life was more important than her own feelings about losing him.
