Disney Matchmaking

Who doesn't love to play matchmaker? I plead guilty. Here are some of my favorite Disney couples, entirely non-canonical and out of my own imagination. But I think they are great matches, even if they don't come from the same places or times.

Sleeping Beauty Glitches

Enjoy these mistakes from the Disney animated classic Sleeping Beauty:

Merryweather wants to turn Maleficent into a fat old hop-toad, but can't because her magic "doesn't work that way", but can only be used for good. Yet, she turns the raven Diablo to stone.

After sixteen years, Flora and Fauna still can't cook or sew. Maybe Merryweather did all the housework?

Flora's sleeve changes color when she closes the curtains on Princess Aurora's sleeping form.

When Maleficent rises from her throne, she casts a shadow, but Diablo doesn't. More...

Pick-A-Princess -- A Short Comedy Skit

How can a prince find his true love? Leave it to Mom to choose a bride. Here is an excerpt:

CAST: 1 man, 6 women

Cinderella: I'm not a scrubwoman. I'm Cinderella. And this audience hall is filthy! I'll just tidy it up a bit, but you really need to speak to your chambermaids.

Queen: Never mind about that. Did you come here to marry a prince or to clean house?

Cinderella: Sure, I'd like to marry a prince, but old habits die hard. Tell me, is your son tidy? I'd hate to marry a slob.

Queen: What difference does it make? My son's wife won't need to worry about that. We have plenty of servants to do housework.

Cinderella: I've seen the kind of job your palace servants do. It's disgraceful! No, if you want a job done right, do it yourself, that's my motto. And I don't need to spend my life picking up dirty doublets and hose for a man who can't find the clothes hamper. Or washing an endless supply of goblets because he takes a clean one every five minutes. Does he leave his sword and shield lying around the castle? An untidy room shows an untidy mind, I always say.

Wilhelmina: Too bad Mr. Clean is already spoken for.

Cinderella: I do want to get married so badly, Your Majesty. You don't know what it's like at home. They treat me like dirt. As soon as I heard you had an eligible prince, I caught the first northbound pumpkin, and here I am.

Rapunzel: I think she's been using bleach in an unventilated room.

Queen: All right, Cindy, I think we'll move on to the next candidate. But if we ever need a housekeeper, we'll keep you in mind.

Cinderella: Okay, but just remember, I have to leave by midnight. More...
