[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Pterodon]

Yes as a true romantic yes I do

[ohsheeT]

I truly do because love is what you make it.

The only sad part is with Disney. Is it you have to be wealthy? You have to be a Prince an mc wealthy duck..

And the best part and the sad part is i'm none with those
And I thank god for that
I'm just me
And I thank god for that too

I believe we can have we can do. We can make our realities come true. No matter how we want them, we can make it happen.
You just have to have some insight

You need to believe in. yourself. And you have to be able to see it and feel it The moment. It
Is happening

You need to be able to speak with your eyes.
With your touch the way you breathe with every part of your being

Because if you can't.
Make her feel it at the same time.
You're never going to do.
It.
The funny part about this question is.
That's how each one of your relationships You ever had should be

But without the cartoon or disney

[DishLady]

The princess has to be in a comatose state for the guy to save her? Hmm… No.


Mulan is just ok… showing folks argue but still stick together… but there are other issues there.


Perhaps beauty and the beast? Book-smart-but-clueless girl in isolation falls for the one semi-human creature in a clockwork orange fashion….


Don’t get me started on frozen….

[Summeroflove]

The answer is no they are a fairytale… It’s okay to watch movies or shows to sort of escape from real life. But real relationships aren’t perfect as well as takes effort form both persons in order to make them work.

Unfortunately some people have a very fantasy way of thinking and end up extremely disappointed

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Nope, but infatuation is very fun... :D

[LouieLouie69]

Not sure which Disney portrayal you’re referring to but I met Maggie just after I realized 1) girls don’t have cooties, or 2) that they do but cooties are a great thing ( not sure which of these I had in my 3rd grade head) but she was this silly little sweetheart with ribbons and long blond hair that combated crystal Gayle for length) we quickly became friends and in 6th grade I kissed her in the playground under the monkey bars and promised that I would love her and no other my entire life if she’d allow and she didn’t need to do anything but allow me to do that) and we married in sophomore year and she just left 18 months ago at 50 and 52 from cancer and I can’t remember a single argument where voices were raised, not one night apart and I don’t think I was ever mad at her about anything? We renewed our vows 3 times and now that cancer tool her I’m certain I will be single ( not alone , just by myself) for the rest of my days. The kind of love I have for Maggie doesn’t end simply because they die. It just moves to a different place!! I lived a Disney love story and it’s not over yet!!

[BCA6010]

To be fair, Disney hasn't exactly been consistent with how it portrays "true love."

Sometimes the characters clearly aren't in love for most of the movie (like Beauty and the Beast), other times it's almost completely unearned (like Snow White). The former is usually better because it shows the characters actually getting to know each other first, and appreciating things beyond superficial appearances. It's still oversimplified, but for a target audience of pre-teen children, it's fine.

Of course, modern Disney openly hates the traditional relationship and family dynamic and have shifted their target audience, so they haven't really been able to competently portray such a relationship in decades, but that's going down a very different rabbit hole.

[MisterWack]

So, the thing is Disney knows how to sell a strong emotion driven story with interesting characters / incredible animation.

A famous example is, ‘Cinderella’.

Cinderella being someone of a poor background, going to a ball in a beautiful carriage & getup then dancing with a Prince then the clock strikes so she must go then he finds her by the missing glass slipper which they are together forever living happily ever after.

Like that is true magic and tugs at the heart of women watching also men too, almost all their Princess films follow a similar trend of a woman being swept off her feet and fall in love.

I don’t believe a man or woman’s romantic tale has to live up to or be that out of reach thing, though every relationship is different & can feel magical in its own light from the perspective of the couple.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Disney doesn't portray love, it portrays a very shallow form of lust where 2 completely incompatible people turn their entire lives upsidown to try to get/keep an unhealthy relationship.

Pick any well known disney couple and tell me even one thing they had in common... you can't. Its honestly brain rot for young minds.

The girls who watch disney romance movies should watch slice of life romance anime instead, plenty of those go deep into things like mental compatibility and appreciation of compassion (just avoid the harem ones).

[blueonblack22]

True love is wanting what’s best for someone even if it includes you not being in their future (that’s the true acid test). It’s not about fantasy or possession.

Disney is just Disney (or was Disney in some other aspects).

Sure characters have struggles but it’s almost always a happy ending. And given it’s for kids that’s how it should be.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Not at all, lol. I highly doubt Disney was in any way ever trying to be realistic. They were probably just trying to make financially successful films that could be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. And the way Disney portrays true love does just that.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Disney has gotten a bit better at developing the romances, especially after they were the ones that popularized that crappy trope. Honestly? The way the Tangled television series depicted the romance between Rapunzel and Eugene was incredibly loving and pretty healthy. Not many relationships would survive a proposal denial, but theirs did in a way that was pretty realistic.

[katiesmuff]

WE WISH! What a wonderful world it would be if that were true. However I am living proof even true love comes with ups and downs and issues as a loving couple you have to work out together.

[molonski2]

I can't believe that nearly 30% say YES ! That's hilarious , they are either " taking the piss " or completely and utterly stupid.

Many many years ago , some of it was ( slightly ) believable , this stuff is just a joke.

[HawkPerception]

Guess I'm stupid 😂

[Mangospacho]

Definitely. You can definitely meet someone and look into their eyes and know instantly that it’s true love and they’re definitely not just pick-up artists or sociopaths because guys who know exactly the right thing to say all the time are definitely guys who are trustworthy and who only want to settle down with one woman.

[dragoblack]

You would be a fool to. A relationship isn't a love at first sight or everything is perfect bullshite. Relationships are built on earning trust, commitment, compromises, communication, understanding boundaries, talking out issues in a calm manner, and learning about each other.
In disney romances almost none of that exists... plus there are no toxic/abusive habits & reactions or projected insecurities.

[purplepoppy]

Yes. Basically if your not a Prince, or rich and handsome don't bother trying because girls don't settle for second best. Disney taught us that. Disney should do a dating app.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@purplepoppy Points for the most hilarious comment! :D

[moneymagnet24]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[PeachyPie93]

Yes I still believe in that perfect love.. but I don't look like a princess so I know it won't happen for me.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

It will never be like disney you will go through rough patches but that's part of it love is work and it's Def not 50 50 all the time

[RavVid]

It is a bit like the disney version in the short term or can be. Once the honeymoon period is over, it ain't no more

[chrissykerdock]

i spent many an evening on my knees and it didn't amount to much

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Disney love stories are simply fairy tales.

[dustybiker2]

I wouldn't want cartoon love. "Life is the messy bits."

[Crimsyjo]

Haha sadly no. Disney only shows the honeymoon period of relationships.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope they make it completely unrealistic, it's a good escape from reality the way they make it tho

[aquamarine321]

Disney is a fairytale, anything that happens in Disney shows or movies are prefect, and we live in a world that isn’t prefect

[Massageman]

Not lately. Used to be passable as entertainment. Now? We just pass on this wokism

[Crazzyyworld]

I think Disney portrait the real woman and man. but we all compete to look the most real man and woman. I don't know if anyone is real or not?

[Blueeyes81]

Why would I want to set myself up for unrealistic expectations?

[Morenamore]

heck no. The only movie that’s realistic is hunchback of notre dame.

[RossyBoi]

Love doesn't exist. It's just an excuse for fat man to get laid.

[you_asked]

Disney is composed of fags and all should be strung up if you know what I mean

[NicholasRedone]

It takes some rare couples 🙃😋😈🫠

[NicholasRedone]

@hawkperception or it's just how humans would prefer it - same way religious views or philosophical views exist

[NicholasRedone]

@hawkperception even if it's not reality, but watching a wish 😀 a wish for a 2 and a half hour movie lol or so

[MoonFace2]

Absolutely not.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. Absolutely.

[Knightwatch27]

What disney portrays isn't true love.

[CupOfCoffee1991]

It’s like x rated movies it’s fantasy.

[JoMoe]

No...

[KittygosMeoWW]

Fuck no

[Dongie]

No!!
