Wholesome and Romantic Disney Scenes That Prove Disney Characters Have Better Love Lives Than Most Of Us

If you were born before around 1995, Disney movies likely set the absolute tone for the level of extravagance and romance that we (boys and girls alike) expect from our future relationships. Yep, I said it.

Nowadays, Disney films are far more practical, and some lead characters don't even have a love interest (Queen Elsa, I see you, girl!). Back in the day, though, Disney was all about the romance.

Aladdin took Jasmine on a magic carpet ride over a city, the Beast gave Belle her own library, Eugene scaled a building for Rapunzel, Shrek sent Lord Farquaad packing, and John Smith took a bullet from a musket—yes, a whole damn bullet—to prove his love for Pocahontas.

That said, if you're a true Disney fanatic, you probably don't need reminding of all the sumptuous, flashy, extravagant romance in these films. What we are looking at today are all the sweet, wholesome, tender moments that may have gone unnoticed, but when examined, will seriously make your heart pitter-patter.

Check out the 25 most wholesome Disney romance scenes below!

The way Eugene watches Rapunzel watching the lanterns...

Seriously, get you a man who looks at you like Eugene looks at her!

When they hid in the doorway with cupcakes...

What's more romantic than dessert?

The way Eugene looks at her after she's had her hair braided...

He is feeling that hair on her!

The look on Li Shang's face when Ping (Mulan) beats him...

A lot of people have pointed out that Li Shang is totally attracted to Ping (whom he believes is a man) in this moment and have called him the first bisexual Disney 'Prince' character, and we're here for it!

How devastated Li Shang looks when Mulan leaves...

He was shattered when she left, and we don't blame him. Also, can we not forget what a banger 'I'll Make A Man Out Of You' was? Donny Osmond gave this film everything he had!

When Belle cuddled up to Beast while they waltzed...

Such a tender moment! You can tell he spent time in the gym.

The way Beast touches Belle's hair...

Literally the sweetest moment of all time.

The way Belle snuggles up to Beast...

How sweet!

The way Beast tries to eat with a spoon to impress Belle

Seriously, such a beautifully underrated moment!

When Belle shows Beast she doesn't even care!

Meet your man in the middle... always!

The way Eric lifts Ariel...

So sweet and gives me '16 Going on 17' vibes from 'The Sound Of Music'.

When Ariel almost kills them both in a carriage crash, but Eric just smiles...

Just FYI—most men aren't this patient with your driving! LOL

When Kristoff catches Anna from a super high fall, and then just casually watches her walk away...

Again, he is way more patient than most guys!

We Heart It

The look on his face when he first sees Anna at their little pretend wedding...

Can we get a third movie with an actual wedding... please? Someone start the petition!

The face Aladdin makes the first time he ever sees Jasmine...

*Sigh*

Disney

The way she grabs onto him once the Magic Carpet really takes off!

Things get bumpy!

Disney

The way she leans on his shoulder...

The cartoon has more chemistry than the live-action. I will fight anyone who disagrees!

When Tiana cuddles up to Naveen while they chop mushrooms...

Cooking brings the romance! Reminds me of the pottery wheel in 'Ghost'.

Disney

The way he looks at her the entire time she sings 'Dig A Little Deeper'.

Get you a man who supports you singing karaoke!

Disney

The way he looks at her when she nudges him... while wielding a hammer!

Naveen was fiiiiiine!

The way John Smith looks at Pocahontas while she sings to him...

This is by far my favorite Disney film of all time. It breaks my heart at the end.

Disney

The way Pocahontas lowers John's gun during 'Colors Of The Wind'

This song brings me to tears!

When Hercules gives a simple flower and kiss...

Swoooon!

The look Nala has on her face when she pushes Simba into the water...

Get you a girl who does both, am I right?
