THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

I think we can eliminate Aladdin, he was so close to Flynn, and they were tied even in the tiebreaker until the last second.
As for the final princes, I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

This wasn't easy! I chose the Beast, because of the way he acts prior to meeting Belle. He was very mean, cold and unloving. Of course all of that changes and he becomes a different person.

He's a good role model for changing and becoming a nicer person, which makes him unique among the princes, and he shows that anyone can find true love. But most people who watch Beauty and the Beast are kids who aren't heartless like he is at the start, so the other princes are better role models. They're good people from the beginning.

I feel Beast because a selfish person with anger management problems isn't really someone who I would consider a healthy role model. Yeah he changed and that's good, but just not really as good as the others.

I agree with everyone else. He does change, grow and develop character wise throughout the movie. However, his behavior before he met Belle was cold, heartless, and abusive. (I mean, who could blame him; I totally would do the same if I was pissed off at the world for 10 years.) It was quoted that at the beginning of the movie, when Beast met Maurice that Beast wouldn't have minded killing him or leaving him to starve, had Belle not intervened. There is also the crucial factor that Beast's situation is SO unique...it's not the typical mean, anti-social recluse kind of thing. So, in a way, this would make it hard for kids to copy and follow/admire his actions as well as relate to. In short, the Beast is one AWESOME character to sympathize and root for, but as for someone to look up to, he is just not the best one to pick from.

^^ I agree with all the comments about the Beast.

i agree with every body else, he does change and that's a good role model, but that's kinda it, he was rude all the time, treated the castle staff like he isn't the reason of why they are what they are, has a serious anger problems, not that i can blame him but didn't even try to feel guilty or anything.

I don't quite agree. I think kids who watch the movie see that Beast behaving badly is portrayed in a really bad light, so they know it's terrible to do that. You have to look at the way it's portrayed. And his transformation is what's shown in a really good light, so I really don't agree.
I'm inclined to vote for Phillip, not really sure what lesson he teaches.

^I was also leaning towards Phillip as well (not trying to be the person who agrees with everyone or whatever), but I wasn't sure why. Like, he didn't seem to stand out with any good lessons, but at the same time, I just think Beast would go before him.

What makes Beast a worse role model then the rest (IMO), is that he is very selfish and rude in the beginning of the movie. And through out the movie he seems really depressed and stuff. It´s like he doesn´t care about stuff, he has already given up on becoming human, so he is even more depressed. Like, when Belle has left to save her father, and Gaston comes in and is about to shoot him, he just looks at him and is like, whatever life sucks. For me a good role model, never should give up, even how bad the situation is. I guess it´s a really personal reason, but just letting someone hurt/kill you? Not a good role model in my eyes (but I know he started to defend himself when he saw Belle came back). But he isn´t a bad role model, I think he is a "good" one, showing that everyone can change for the better.

He just wants to marry the girl who saved his life without getting to know her first. He eventually does get to know Ariel without knowing that she saved his life. If he knew Ariel was the 1 who saved him he would have just married her without taking the time to really get to know her first.

^that can't be serious, Phillip was gonna marry Aurora and he barely knew her.....

@SailorM91, you're kidding right ? how is that possibly a bad role model, and worst than the ones who's left ?

@CuteDiana: How is he not a bad role model? Marrying someone who saved your life, without knowing them first, is blind stupidity. He should be very greatful to the person who saved his life but not want to marry them right then and there. He doesn't even know the person. That person could turn out to be a horrible, mean, and manipulative person but he would be stuck with her b/c he didn't take the time to get to know her before he married her.

@princesslullaby: Phillip was going to marry Aurora after he had spent some time with her, not just picking her out of nowhere and saying that he is going to marry her. Both situations are unrealistic but at least Phillip spent a little time with Aurora before he decided to marry her.

^omg, okay, how could she be 'horrible, mean, and manipulative person' if she saved his freaking life ? and are you SERIOUSLY thinking that if a girl saved a boy then he would marry her because he saw Eric is doing so ? it's not an every day accident you know, the man had been saved, and he heard her singing, he saw her in front of the sunshine, he fell in love, and he said that he's gonna marry her to Grim, and if Eric really met her and she was this horrible person you think that he would think 'oh my, i told Grim that i'm gonna marry her, i should, but i don't want to, but aaaaah i said i will so i will' ? that's just plain stupid to even think that any prince of them would do that !!!!!

@CuteDiana: Obviously you don't see my point. I didn't mean to offend you and I think you are getting a little too worked up about this. You should learn to accept other people's opinions, even if you don't agree with them. The pick asked to explain your reasoning and I did. If you don't agree with me that's fine but you don't have to be mean about it and say that my opinion is stupid. After all, their all just cartoon characters :)

*they're
lol, "they're just cartoon characters." so many things wrong with that

@SailorM91 : mean ? ... i wasn't mea- ...... CARTOON CHARACTERS ?
haha okay, i think that i don't have to say anything anymore !

@CuteDiana & princesslullaby: What do you mean? They are animated/cartoon/fictional characters. I don't understand what's "wrong" with that comment.

Eric is taking the whole "love at first sight" thing a little TOO seriously! Just because someone saved your life does not mean you should marry them. I understand Eric must have A LOT of gratitude towards that savior, but that doesn't mean he should automatically fall in love with that woman. True, that Ariel did save his life, but how does he know that she didn't just save him to get a bountiful reward for saving the prince's life? I do agree that he is a good Prince, but as for role models he is kinda at the bottom of the totem pole for me. I also believe that people on this site take these CHARACTERS a little TOO seriously. THEY ARE ALL JUST CHARACTERS, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE FAKE! Nobody can marry, meet, or speak to them. Lets all just simmer down about this OBSESSION some of you guys have and dip our feet into the puddle of reality just for a little bit. I hope you take what I have to say to heart and really just live in the REAL life a littlle. Also, it would be great if some of you weren't mean to others about, dare I say it, DIFFERENT OPINIONS/IDEAS. People all think DIFFERENTLY and you all should respect that.

^you are too bipolar with the capslock
I think it's silly to say "they are fictional characters", they are more than that, they mean a lot to us, just like harry potter characters do, so we have every right to get defensive. we like them because it takes us out of reality, to make picks about these characters we can't really bring reality into it. How about you get off your high horse.

Well, the problem here is
1) that princesslullaby asked for reasoning, which mean that you actually have to have valid arguments.

2)if everyone just shut up when they disagree, well, you were talking something about opinions, right?
