Prince Eric (The Little Mermaid)
Most of us will feel instantly for Prince Eric The Little Mermaid, as his love for Ariel is unbreakable.
He fell for her instantly, even when she had no voice to speak.
Eric shows us he had a caring side. He was also loyal, and willing to fight for his love, making him an unforgettable Disney boyfriend.
Plus, his bravery in rescuing Ariel from Ursula’s clutches is a true testament to his devotion. With Ariel finally turning human, the pair are able to marry and live happily ever after.
Aladdin (Aladdin)
Aladdin is the ultimate underdog hero. He comes from a poor background but doesn’t let that define him.
Despite this, he eventually wins over Princess Jasmine’s heart with his honesty and bravery.
He’s even willing to risk it all for the woman he loves, showing his unbreakable commitment to her.
Not only does Aladdin have a kind-hearted soul, but his transformation from “diamond in the rough” to a selfless prince also proves that he’s a boyfriend worth rooting for.
Flynn Rider (Tangled)
Flynn Rider is definitely a brave and loving character.
He is a gifted thief but his lifestyle changes once he meets Rapunzel.
His character goes from strength to strength throughout Tangled, as he goes from being a selfish rogue to someone who genuinely cares about Rapunzel’s happiness.
It’s evident in his every word and action, making him one of Disney’s most lovable boyfriends.
Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
Beauty and the Beast is Disney’s most spectacular love stories. However, some of us were instantly put off after first being introduced to The Beast.
He was always absent and had a bad temper on him when he did appear, but as the Beauty and the Beast story progresses, we get to see another side of him.
Underneath his monstrous exterior lies a kind heart, and he proves time and time again that he is worthy of Belle’s love.
The Beast also showed off his selfless side, from letting Belle go to saving her from danger.
Their relationship is built on respect and patience, and the Beast’s transformation into a prince shows his journey into becoming the loving person Belle always deserved.
Kristoff (Frozen)
Kristoff is the ultimate down-to-earth, dependable boyfriend.
In the movie Frozen, although he might not be a prince, but his loyalty to Anna is unwavering.
Kristoff proves shows that true love isn’t about grand gestures but about being there for someone when they need it most.
He might not be the first person Anna falls for, but it’s clear that Kristoff is the one who will always be by her side.
John Smith (Pocahontas)
I remember Pocahontas being one of the early Disney films I watched.
In this we see as John Smith’s love for Pocahontas breaks cultural boundaries. And I’m glad we saw them flourish and fall for each other.
He’s not just a brave explorer but also someone who respects and values Pocahontas for who she is.
He is courageous, adventurous, and willing to challenge the norms for love, making him an iconic Disney boyfriend.
Prince Philip (Sleeping Beauty)
Unfortunately, Prince Philip didn’t have as much screen time as some other Disney boyfriends, however, most of us instantly fell for him.
We could all see how much he loved Princess Aurora.
Even when faced with the terrifying Maleficent, Prince Philip doesn’t hesitate to face danger to rescue Aurora.
His passionate pursuit of his true love, despite the terrifying circumstances, is the stuff of fairytales.
Li Shang (Mulan)
Li Shang is one of the most reliable and caring boyfriends in the Disney lineup.
As the captain of the Chinese army in Mulan, he initially sees Mulan as a fellow soldier, but his respect for her grows into genuine admiration and love.
Shang is patient, and understanding, and, most importantly, he values Mulan as an equal.
His willingness to fight beside her, even when the odds are against them, makes him an excellent choice as a Disney boyfriend.
Hercules (Hercules)
Hercules as we know is a strong and -hearted hero.
Despite being a demigod, he’s humble and always puts others before himself.
His love for Megara is pure, and he is willing to give up his immortality to be with her. Herc’s journey from a misunderstood god to a true hero is inspiring, and his devotion to Meg is the driving force behind his character.
His courage and selflessness make him a perfect Disney boyfriend.
Prince Charming (Cinderella)
Prince Charming suffers after finding it hard to know which magical person he danced with at the ball.
While he may not have had as much screen time as some of the other Disney boyfriends, his determination to find Cinderella after the ball is praiseworthy.
Prince Charming showed that if you set your mind to something it will work in your favour.
He went the extra mile (literally, by trying the glass slipper on every maiden in the kingdom) showing how far he’ll go for true love.
