The age difference between Disney princesses and their male counterparts isn’t just a minor detail in the world of Disney films. Even within the official Disney princess lineup, these young women are often significantly younger than the princes they are paired with. Below is a list of some of the most notable “younger sister” couples that audiences adore.
Tarzan and Jane
Many viewers often assume that Jane is a Disney princess, but that’s not actually the case. The romance between the lavish young lady and the rugged Tarzan is quite beloved. One thing that viewers might not realize is that Jane is at least 2 years older than Tarzan.
In the Disney film, Tarzan is portrayed as an 18-year-old man raised by gorillas in the jungle. In contrast, Jane is already 20 years old. Regardless, both characters share a passionate and wild romance that is undeniably rewarding.
Linguini and Colette
The film Ratatouille has inspired many food lovers around the world. The passion for cooking is what brings the two characters, Linguini and Colette, together.
Interestingly, Linguini and Colette have a 7-year age difference, with Linguini being just 19 years old while Colette is already 26. However, their personalities complement each other perfectly, leading to a beautiful future together in the kitchen of the talented rat Remy.
Hercules and Meg
Hercules tells the story of “the son of Zeus” that has captivated many viewers. Disney not only brings Hercules on a heroic journey but also presents a love story that transcends life’s obstacles.
Initially, Meg is a servant of Hades tasked with keeping Hercules at bay. However, love ultimately leads Meg to sacrifice herself to save him. According to the film, Hercules is just 18 years old while Meg is 28.
Milo and Kida
Not only is Atlantis: The Lost Empire a successful film, but it also introduced audiences to a unique romance. The film beautifully illustrates the love story between the scholarly Milo and the princess Kida of the ancient kingdom of Atlantis.
As the last survivor of Atlantis, Kida is over 8000 years old, while Milo is barely in his 30s. Despite their age difference, Kida still appears to be a youthful woman in her twenties, totally suitable for her male counterpart.
