Aurora/Rose x Prince Philip: An underrated Disney couple
Okay... here me out. Aurora was never a favorite princess to me. The fairies and Philip always have been the main protagonists (esp the fairies) to me since I was a child.
HOWEVER, as I was re-examining Disney couples when mourning what could have been in Wish, I remembered how much I liked Philip and admit it or not, before Cinderella III, he was the most active out of all the 3 princes, even being the first to be given an official name. Also, his love for Aurora is just- wow.
Let's break it down:
Despite having it known to him for years he was betrothed to a princess, he was willing to risk it all for what he then knew was only a peasant girl. He disobeyed his father for someone he may have just met, but has already loved once upon a dream. Someone pointed it out that Sleeping Beauty 1959 is a soulmate story and it was set up from the beginning from Merrywhether's gift to help them find each other. NO WAY I'M NOT HERE FOR THAT! Like, they're both destined by the law and fate lmaoo, it's like Miraculous before Miraculous lol. Either way, whether it'd turn out to be Aurora or Rose, he loved her and fought for her.
In relation, I mean like, part of why Rose was so miserable after the reveal was because girl literally had an identity crisis here. She just realized her whole life was a lie, and had to take in a revelation so big on a day that was supposed to be special for her. Also, imagine finding your soulmate, and thinking you're actually forced to marry someone else whom you haven't met lol.
Bottom line, she also felt the same for him. No matter who they are, they knew what they felt was true, and they'd fight for that!
Speaking of, Philip literally fought the Mistress of all evil, and arguably the most terrifying Disney villain for the girl he loved.
I mean... Brenton Twaites already played a character who risked hell just to save their soulmate too lmaoo (if you know, you know😏)
Anyway, that's just my take for the day lol. They're not my favorite couple (Tiana and Naveen are definitely unbeatable in my heart), but I really think they deserve so much appreciation and attention. We get it that Florian may be controversial (he's 18, not 31 tho), and Charming's one of my favorites too, but yeah, Philip deserves love for being the first prince to actually have a name, have a personality and fought literal hell for his gal.

▣ Did you know that the scene in Lady and the Tramp when Lady pops out of the hatbox on Christmas is inspired by a true story?
While Walt and Lilly Disney celebrated Christmas Eve with family at their home, Walt snuck the puppy into a hatbox, topped it with a large bow, and slipped it under the tree. Lilly was given the box and was, at first, rather disappointed: she loved to buy her own hats. Suddenly, the box moved, and Lilly screamed as a little puppy poked its head out! From that moment on, Lilly was smitten with the dog they named Sunnee, never letting him leave her sight.

1941 - Disney animators went on strike after Walt Disney refused to let his workers unionize. The workers were angry about unfair policies on pay and benefits. On the picket line the animators lynched and guillotined an effigy of Walt Disney himself.
After four months Walt Disney caved to the demands and let the workers unionize, striking a deal which included the reinstatement of employees fired before the strike, equalization of pay, a clearer salary structure and a grievance procedure. [source]
