Disney's "Who Got the Better Deal?"

[DisneyDINK]

My idea for a new game on the boards is a bit crass, but as we are all reasonably critical as Intercotees it might be fun to some of us.

DW and I play this from time to time with famous couples, our friends and even ourselves. Of course the polite thing to say is that "I got the better deal" and for DW to say the opposite.

The game is simple enough: You identify a couple, primary from Disney animated or live action films and then pose the question: "Who got the better deal?" The most obvious example: Mickey & Minnie. Justification of your choice is optional. My answer would be Minnie got the better deal. Let's face it, she'd never do better. The Totally Minnie parade was almost 30 years ago; she's been living in his shadow ever since.

So...

Who got the better deal: Ariel or Eric?

Ariel. Eric has a fabulous castle on the beach (arguably one of the best "catches" among the Disney princes). Her family can visit, but they'll never stay long. "Wave at Grandpa, kids! Oh, there he goes, swimming away again." Let's face it, she couldn't have been happy with an ordinary Joe. You wouldn't give up being an underwater princess to come on land and struggle to pay the bills.

Nice. I would have gone the other way, but...
Oh, and at the end you should list another Disney (or other) couple. I'll do the honors:

Sleeping Beauty: Aurora or Phillip?

Well, also Ariel's a little immature, and that pesky crab follows her around.

True that. Plus she'd burst into song at the drop of a hat (Imagine how annoying that might get later on in the relationship?!) assuming she doesn't sell her voice to some other witch to upgrade to a nicer prince.

Next one: Aurora or Phillip?

[SBETigg]

Phillip. Sure, Aurora falls asleep for a long time, but some guys might appreciate that. And, yes, she has one really bad witchy enemy, but she also has three doting fairies on her side. Phillip's good with a sword, but otherwise a bit on the dull side.

How about...
Robin Hood and Marian.
