Re: Rank The Live Action Disney Princes
1. Kit - Richard Madden. Madden was extremely likable and endearing in his part.
2. Aladdin - Mena Massoud. Massoud was spunky, plucky, cocky and had a great, big smile.
3. Eric - Jonah Hauer-King. While perhaps not as charismatic, he was fine enough and managed to portray kindness and integrity as Eric.
4. Philip - Brenton Thwaites. Thwaites is easily the best looking of these dudes. And while he may not have much charisma, he`s still appealing enough.
5. Chen Honghui - Yoson An. Frankly, he was appealing and had a little spark. Despite how he wasn`t memorable enough.
6. Jonathan - Andrew Burnap. Despite being bland and not having a lot of charisma or spark, he was appealing enough in his part.
7. Philip (II) - Harris Dickinson. Bland, dull and boring. No charisma or screen presence whatsoever.
8. Dan Stevens. While Stevens did essentially a fine job, he lacks likability and frankly is too stiff and wooden.

Pretty much the only one on the list that felt exactly on par with the original character for me was Massoud as Aladdin, but I did like all of them to varying degrees except for the second Phillip. I'd say the first five on the list were all very attractive and charismatic. Dan Stevens acted the part of Beast well, but he doesn't really look like human Beast; not too big a deal since Beast is only human for a few minutes. Jonah ended up being alright in TLM, and the romance overall was fairly well-done, but he still leaves a bit to be desired as far as Eric goes...

Re: Rank The Live Action Disney Princes
1. Mena Massoud - Aladdin
2. Richard Madden - "Kit"
3. Jonah Hauer-King - Eric
4. Dan Stevens - The Beast
5. Andrew Burnap - Jonathan
6. Chen Honghui - Yoson An
7. Brenton Thwaites - Phillip (I)
8. Philip (II) - Harris Dickinson
The Princes actually overall score better than the Princess list in my book. The real drop-off comes after Andrew Burnap. Neither he nor Stevens featured in remarkable films, but they existed just fine in the space they were given. While I hated the way The Beast was written in the remake, there were little flickers where I could see animated Beast peeking through Steven's performance.
I actually really the remake's interpretation of Eric. The Broadway version kinda made him seem like a bit of a kid, and having him be more introspective gave Halle's Ariel something more interesting to play off. Richard Madden was positively disarming as The Prince and Mena just brought so much life to the character.
I don't dislike the last three, they just left little to no impression.

Re: Rank The Live Action Disney Princes
I was just thinking that I loved Thwaites in Maleficent even though I never really liked Phillip, the original character. I think it's because he reminds me a bit more of the Prince from Snow White than Phillip, tbh, as far as being more quiet, graceful, and sincere whereas the Phillip character is more arrogant as well as active plot-wise.
And then you have Burnap who's also great despite being nothing like the original character he's playing either and would have been better as Kristoff in the eventual Frozen remake.

Re: Rank The Live Action Disney Princes
I only liked Kit and Aladdin
Though I still cringed a little how stereotypical Kit was, Richard Madden still made him very charming
And Mena Massoud imo did the best job in portraying his character among all live action portrayals

Only Kit and Aladdin ever stuck out to me as good. I choose Kit as best but I have bias and I have watched that film so many times.

Re: Rank The Live Action Disney Princes
1.Aladdin, perfectly embodied the character
2.Kit, classic but harmless and adds a few layers to his character
3.Philip 1 and only, so hawt
4.Beast
5.Eric convincing enough, but hate how he became quirky and a clone of Ariel, making their dynamic more like besties than lovers
6. Chen
7.Jonathan, liked how he was more of a clumsy goofball, as we really need more of those Disney Guys instead those macho boringos, but it was kinda annoying and too overpowered of it makes sense
