DIRECTOR'S CUT: Relationship Therapist Ranks Disney Romances
Which Disney couples would be most (or least) likely to live happily ever after?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright take a look at these six iconic Disney couples to see which ones are quite unhealthy, and which ones might actually have the foundation for a lasting relationship: Aladdin and Jasmine, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Fix-it-Felix and Calhoun (Wreck-it-Ralph), Rapunzel and Eugene (Tangled), Simba and Nala (The Lion King), and Snow White and Prince Florian. We take a look at things like love at first sight, honesty, healthy conflict resolution, consent, and more in this round one of ranking Disney romances.
(Sorry it's only six - that's all we could cram into one episode and still have time to talk about what makes the relationships good or bad! But we'll do this again, probably.)

When it comes to the “life saving kiss” in Snow White. I heard this perspective and it makes more sense. He didn’t know it would save her and thought she was dead, so in his grief, he kissed her goodbye. It makes it a lot less creepy.
That makes it a little better ig. Still without consent, and there was no real relationship between them, and there's a huge age gap there I'm pretty sure? Buuut that's probably the best perspective I've heard on it
Watching the Cinderella part made me think they should do The Swan Princess!!
adorable episode indeed!
This was such a fun, lighthearted episode. Absolutely loved it.
