Prince NOT-SO-Charming

I, like every other girl who has ever watched a Disney movie in her life, am searching/waiting for my fairy tale, my happily ever after. I want Prince Charming to ride up on his big white horse and sweep me off my feet and ride me off into the sunset, and then we'll live happily ever after, of course.... although, that never really happened with Prince Charming. Prince Charming was in Cinderella. The prince in Sleeping Beauty was named Prince Phillip and the prince in Snow White was Prince Ferdinand. Both Snow White and Aurora were rescued and rode off with their princes on big white horses (actually I'm pretty sure Prince Phillip's horse was gray, but that's beside the point). Prince Charming didn't really rescue Cinderella. It was her mice friends and her fairy godmother that did the real rescuing. Prince Charming didn't even know her name! He and his father (King Charming?) sent the Duke out into the kingdom to find the maiden who fit the glass slipper that was left behind on the staircase when Cinderella fled from the ball so that he wouldn't see her when the spell was broken at midnight. And then the prince was going to marry whoever fit the slipper. He wasn't trying to rescue Cinderella. He was just trying to get what he wanted (like every other mortal guy i know) and selfishly assumed that just because he was a handsome prince that whoever it was that lost the slipper would want to marry him. Although I doubt that he would have cared if she didn't, he wasn't exactly giving her a choice. It was just sheer dumb luck that the shoe belonged to Cinderella and that she loved him (or at least thought she did, because really, who falls in love with someone in a matter of a few hours, dancing none the less.) And for that matter, Cinderella was lucky that no one else in the entire kingdom had the same size foot that she had (she had really little feet.) AND the Duke was lucky that Cinderella had the other shoe since the first one broke when Cinderella's evil stepmother tripped him. But really, how did he know that it was the broken slippers match? How did he know that she just didn't randomly happen to have a pair of glass slippers. (and really glass slippers?! can we say BLISTERS!? how uncomfortable. not good dancing shoes.) She, or any other maiden in the kingdom, could very easily have tricked him and then the prince would have been screwed. And really, did he not look at Cinderella at all? Why did they waste their time having EVERY maiden in the kingdom try on the slipper, why not just the blonde ones? You can tell that it was a MANS plan. Men are so dumb sometimes. HMPF. Disney movies should come with warning labels.
