Someday our prince will come!

Disney

For many of us, some of our earliest crushes were on Disney characters. Afterall, who doesn't want to find that fairytale kind of love, or at least true love's kiss? They were on the big screen, the small screen, in our Happy Meals, coloring books, and toy bins. Plus, they were so damn cute! Here are some of our favorite Disney crushes.

Prince Charming

Disney

Cinderella is one of the foundational Disney films that introduced us to its fairy tale versions of princes and princesses living together happily ever after. Prince Charming was the first prince really on the map in this regard, and his allure has captured us all for almost 75 years.

Prince Phillip

Disney

If anyone ever wants to fall asleep from a poisonous spell only to be awoken by true love's kiss, Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty is the crush that's going to save you. Seriously, what do we have to do around here to get someone to fall for us like that??

Captain Hook

Disney

We all love a good bad boy every so often, and Captain Hook from Peter Pan is no exception. He's one of our favorite villains out there, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't curious what that hook would be like in a relationship.

Captain Phoebus

Disney

Personally, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorite Disney films, and I don't think Captain Phoebus nor Esmerelda get enough attention within the fandom. Alas, Phoebus is the handsome and womanizing antagonist that, like Captain Hook, we know we shouldn't like, but we still can't help it.

Li Shang

Disney

Mulan’s hottie Li Shang is our number one both for stunning looks (I mean, have you seen those cheekbones? That jawline? Swoon) but also because he was our first-ever bisexual king. Listen, we get it, he’s not “officially” queer but we all know the truth. He was catching major feelings for Ping (aka Mulan) and that was a major gay awakening moment. We would happily let him "make a man" out of us.

Gaston

Disney

What can we say, we crave a bad boy with the chest of a bear. Is he a narcissist with terribly regressive gender politics? Yes. Does he brag about his ability to spit (expectorate)? Also, yes. But do we still want to be his power bottom ala LaFeo-? Oh, very much yes.

David Kawena

Disney

This sweetie pie from Lilo & Stitch stole our hearts with his boy-next-door good looks and major surfing skills. Plus, he has a dreamy surfer boy haircut and fills out his Hawaiian shirts just the way we love — how could we not crush hard?

Kristoff

Disney

Sure Hans is more traditionally good-looking (you know his IG would be lit) but the prince who stole our heart in Frozen was oh-so-sweet (and musclebound) Kristoff. It doesn't hurt that we also get the pleasure of hearing Jonathan Groff’s dulcet tones every time he sings or speaks. We would love to, ahem, let it go with Kristoff any day of the week.

Maui

Disney

Maui is built like a god, because, well, he is one. Plus those tattoos and flowing curly hair. We want to throw ourselves into that volcano. And yes, that is a euphemism for you know what.
