Naveen was just 20, funny how reactors always bash him by making it seem like he had nothing to offer just because he's privileged. In case people conveniently forgot, when we first see Naveen, he's very spontaneous and charismatic. He doesn't take life for granted. I adore Tiana, but people like forget SHE HAS FLAWS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her flaw was being boring, actually Naveen said it perfectly,"Stick in the mud". And he's right, then they BOTH learn something from each other. Tiana taught him how to be responsible, Naveen taught her to let loose. But no reactor I've seen likes to say that they just think Tiana is perfect with zero flaws and have no problem bashing Naveen just because of his gender. The entire point of creating a character is making them flawed so they feel like humans. Tiana is human while she has good qualities, however she DOES have flaws. Flaws are great they humanize the character. I would have been pissed if the writers tried to write the ship by trying to making Tiana flawless and make her an accidentally flawed character with no awareness of her faults. If they had done that, Tiana would not be likable she'd be the arrogant one. I could write a list of my favorite characters and how their flaws make them great and layered people. It's called good writing to give characters flaws because character development is key in fictional writing.

The only black princess was a frog the whole movie. Disrespectful. And she had to be a hardworking, lower class girl in a time where she's looked down upon. Why couldn't it be about any of the empresses of Africa? There were a myriad of abundant kingdoms that they don't even talk about

[@Darkstormsun9865]

@Earth Angel why does it have to be an empress of Africa to showcase strong black woman? Her background makes the whole movie and the dynamic of their relationships, because she is hardworking, strong, and responsible working lady. An empress would not have those qualities or showcase them as Tiana does because they lead very different lives. Her dreams, goals, and personality are what changes Naveem to be someone better than some playing rich guy.

[@tannerwhitt4488]

These age gaps might seem creepy due to the difference of the times. My grandmother at 17 married my grandfather 34, and no one had a problem with it. This is because women's youth and ability to have many children were prioritized by men, while a mature and well off man who could raise a family was prioritized by women. They truly were different times.

It's also important to remember that historically, 16 has been the most common age of majority, and sometimes that age was younger, especially for girls. Aurora is an adult. Jasmine ends her movie as a legal adult, as she was only three days shy of 16 at the start of the movie. The film's climax actually happens ON her birthday. And Florian was clearly aged down. He doesn't look older than 16.

[@gamer4l1f34]

Also an important thing to remember is that some of these movies take place in times long ago, when, historically, these ideas would have been accepted! In ancient kingdoms, it’s believed that marriages in the idea of establishing, or strengthening an alliance were also common…

In "Sleeping Beauty", you clearly learn at the beginning of the movie that Prince Phillip & Aurora are betrothed. Phillip was 5, so when she turns 16, he's 21.

Honestly, the fact that she's as old as she is without being married off yet would have been the weird part for a princess at the time. A lot of the time, as soon as girls hit puberty, they started marrying them off because the child mortality rate was so high. They needed girls and women to start having children as fast as possible, especially noble and royal women, to try to make sure one of the kids survived to adulthood.

As a History student, i just want everyone thinking that big age gaps were a thing in medieval/modern history (~476 - ~1793) and even ancient history to know that : no, it wasn't the norm at all. In most European countries the majority was at 18, even 21 sometimes. Except some rare big families married their young heirs together (but they would just be engaged most of the time, a marriage couldn't happen if one of the two was a minor), other than that, the usual age people got married at varied from 22 to 30 years old over the centuries both for the men and women. (Some kings did marry young girls, but again, they usually actually had to wait for her majority before really marrying) So, no, it wasn't the norm at all. (and outside marriage relationship weren't really popular at the time, at least for everyone except the lovers) As for ancient (latin/greek) history i didn't have that much classes yet, but i can tell you that there were very strict age rules too, and that they might indeed have married quite young, but most of the time the two had similar ages too. Thank you for your time :) (i'm just really tired to see clichés justifying quite terrible acts such as child marriage, who actually wasn't that popular since people didn't really have the time to care, and they married late to not have too many children to feed because it was difficult.)

[@xztrhjfkFEDFgvferwcgxztzgzfs]

Elsa was crowned when she was old enough. As a Norse woman she would be 18 years old at that point, so Anna had to be only 16 or 17 when she met Hans. Pocahontas or Matoaka as her real name was were even younger 11 or 13 when she met John smith(30). She met John Rolfe who brought her to England and married her and together they had a son named Thomas Rolfe. She died from illness on trip back to America in 1617, only 22 years old. Not sure how that story even passed Disney’s censorship back in the 90’.

[@vargaslestrae7900]

On a scale of 1-10 creepiness, here's how I would rate the age gaps with reasons. Flynn and Rapunzel - 26-18: 3, Both are still young, 8 years may seem like a lot, but I've seen a lot worse. But the ability to buy alcohol for someone not legal to drink is risky, it's avoidable, but still potential. This will be a running factor, so expect it in most pairings. The fact that she's sheltered and might act younger doesn't really factor here, there are plenty of people in their 20s and 30s who still act like immature children, so Rapunzel being only slightly naive about the outer world isn't as bad as it could be. Cristof and Anna - 21-18: 2, There's nothing wrong with this except the alcohol thing, but again, that's avoidable. Both of them are acting their ages, albeit a romanticized Disney version, but still. Hans and Anna - 23-18: 3, The problem here was his motives, but then again those motives stemmed from wanting to prove something to his older brothers. Also it's not unheard of considering both are royalty and he was trying to form an alliance between the kingdoms, one that would give him control over at least one of them. Not saying he did it the right way, just that I understand the reason behind the actions. Eric and Ariel - 18-16: 2, In terms of age gap, there's nothing really wrong here. Ariel's motives were definitely misguided, but she was a rebellious teenager, much like a lot of teenagers are. Getting married, again, it's a royalty thing. Considering that back in medieval times the offspring of royal families would be betrothed by the parents at birth in order to form alliances, so getting married at this age is actually pretty on point for royalty. Naveen and Tiana - 21-19: 1, Nothing wrong here, not even the alcohol thing, considering the time period this takes place in (1920s), and the legal drinking age in Louisiana at the time was 18, there's nothing wrong here. Charming and Cinderella - 21-19: 1, There is literally nothing wrong with this one. Much like a lot of Disney stories it's a riches and rags pairing, which Cinderella was only a peasant girl because of her step-mother taking everything when Cindy's father died. Otherwise Cindy would have at least had nobility standing. Florian and Snow - 31-14: 10, This would have been less if it was a royal betrothal thing, but considering everything, that in reality, after eating the apple, Snow was dead and only was saved after the bouncing on the horse caused her to cough up the apple. For Florian, not only was he a pedo, but he had no idea that Snow would revive, even in the romanticized Disney version. He is a necro as well. Disney version, he kissed a dead girl, which I understand some people give their loved ones final kisses and whatnot, but this wasn't a goodbye kiss, this was a "I want to get in her pants" kind. In the original novel version, he didn't kiss her, he fondled and groped what was essentially a corpse and was intending on bringing her home to copulate with. Very sick and creepy when you think about it. Thankfully 'Once Upon A Time' fixed this problem. Hercules and Meg - 18-28: 3, I've still seen worse age gaps and to be fair a lot of women who are close to 30 do tend to look at younger guys. Plus, this is ancient Greece and Herc is a demi-god, if you know the history of the Greek pantheon, you'd understand that this pairing is rather tame comparatively to what the Gods themselves did. Linguini and Collette - 19-26: 1, Nothing wrong with the woman being older, even at a 7 year gap, and considering this takes place in France, even the legal drinking age thing isn't a problem since it's 18 there. Li Shang and Mulan - 19-16: 1, This is quite tame for this era of China, considering in Feudal Era China there were plenty of instances of girls younger than Mulan being taken as wives by men much older than Shang. It was probably not the best way to start their relationship, but this is about the age gaps, not the how they started. Tarzan and Jane - 18-20: 1, Nothing wrong with the age gap or the woman being older, I had a 20 year old girlfriend when I was 18, so this isn't a bad one. In fact, this one I even give props to because this was probably the biggest SOCIAL gap that had to be overcome in Disney couples. Phillip and Aurora - 20-16: 2, Remember that royal betrothal at birth to form kingdom alliances I mentioned? Here it is. Also, this kiss to wake her up is considerably different than the one with Florian and Snow. This one was in order to break a spell. If you remember, Maleficent's curse was supposed to kill Aurora, but Merriwhether's counter to it was simply to put her to sleep until True Love's Kiss woke her. Considering Maleficent was the Fairy Queen, Merriwhether even being able to alter the curse was quite a feat. But I digress, so back to Phillip and Aurora, while the age gap might seem weird, it's medieval times and a royal betrothal, so it's really not as bad as you might think. Adam and Belle - 21-17: 3, The age isn't as bad as some others on this list and considering this was France during the 1700s, this is not unheard of. Also, to be fair, Adam was cursed to take on an appearance matching his personality at the time. Aladdin and Jasmine - 18-15 (technically 16): 1, While at the start of the movie Jasmine was 15, it was even stated that her birthday was in 3 days time, so by the end of the movie she was indeed 16. So a 2 year gap is nothing creepy, this is like a high school senior dating a sophomore, not anything bad really. Also, consider this is in Saudi Arabia and think of their customs of marrying off their daughters. Achmed was a lot creepier of a suiter and the real problem in this one was Jafar. While Achmed was around 40, he was simply adhering to the customs of the country. Jafar on the other hand was at least in his 50s and hard creeping on Jasmine. John and Pocahontas - 20-18: 1, This is not a creepy age gap at all. Only bridge this relationship had to cross was the social one, which like Tarzan and Jane, included a language barrier, but this one came with the added issue of the Natives versus the Colonizers in terms of civilization barriers as well.

[@erinblodgett6790]

If you think about the time period of each movie, it makes a bit of sense societal norms were not always how they are now from what I know in the medieval times kings would marry off their daughters at a fairly young age as soon as they were teenagers, mainly plus an older man marrying a younger woman wasn’t that uncommon during the medieval times it’s creepy to think about nowadays back then it was fairly normal.

If you're talking about the age Gaps those were normal back in that time. Girls were often considered reaching womanhood around age 12, 13 Many were considered Old maids and spinsters if they weren't married before 25. Also Disney doubled snow white's age. she's originally only 7 years old.

[@mariabop]

@@wimsylogic65 what 7 yo?😭😭 That's literally a baby

[@StacieMMeier]

A fact you missed here. In the original Snow White fable it starts her at 14. However, she was much older by the end of it, because she has spent much time in the forest. How long, we cant be certain, but likely it was a few years making her at least 16 by the end of the fable, it would be assumed to also be true in the Disney Movie. 16 is the legal age for consent in most countries, so while she was young she was legal. Also, she was asleep for a long time, the movie overlooks this. The prince just didnt suddenly show up (Not the fable anyways). The Little Mermaid was a child in the fable. Her age was believed to be 14 although he never states it, he does describe she is a child, as the legal age then was 15 (Although at the time he wrote the fable there was no legal age, but this was the accept society norm) this makes her much younger.

Belle was not kidnapped and I'm sick and tired of people saying she was. Her FATHER was taken prisoner after intruding on THE BEAST'S castle. He wasn't even being tortured just locked up. After Belle had the family horse take him to the castle and discovered her father in the dungeon UNHARMED she offered to trade her freedom for his. AND THEN he gave her a fairly nice room, and after they fell in love he let her go to take care of her father. Belle was more or less there willingly.

[@galaxygamergirl4574]

For what I think of the gaps in this video: Some of them: A good amount of years, not to far away, a perfect close age Some of the others: Just needs to be a little bit less for one of them or a little bit more for the others. Not that crazy, but still a bit crazy. Snow white: Ok, the Evil Queen definitely had a good reason why she hid Snow white's beauty.
