Addressing Weird Age Gap Crushes In Animated Movies

The age gap between Shang and Mulan is not very big

I want to correct you on Eugene's age it was stated in the Tangled series which takes place 2 years after Tangled he was 26 making him 24 in Tangled and they got married when Rapunzel was 20 in Ever After. I highly recommend watching the Tangled Series if you haven't already.

16 year old here, I’m watching this video while playing Sonic Generations. Mulan definitely kicks more ass than I do

It’s no weird for a kid to have a crush on an older person. The weird part would be the older person saying “yeah I like this” and gets with the kid

Is 14 years old and- WHAT I THOUGHT SHE WAS 20 💀

The Prince from Snow White (Florian) isn't 31. You just Googled that, didn't you? It's a rumour spread by someone and it exploded, so now everyone thinks it's factual. You google up the age and it shows 31. But Prince Florian's age has never been confirmed by Disney. He doesn't even look like 31?? He looks 16-17 in my opinion. This rumor annoys me so much 😅 And there is also no official statement about Snow White's age being 14. There are only few characters whose ages are 100% confirmed. For example Ariel's and Rapunzel's, because they state their ages in their films. I just really wish people would stop taking quick Google results as confirmation and facts, because this is ridiculous.

Shrek : 108 Fiona: IN HER FREAKING 20'S!!!

personally, age gaps aren't an issue for me, with one exception. WHEN ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE RELATIONSHIP IS A MINOR AND THE OTHER IS AN ADULT!!! That's where I draw the line.

For 1, mulan and Shang are only 3 years apart which is kinda what I expect most relationships to be gaped, the weird thing is that she got married which I didn’t think about until writing this comment. My thought of age gaps are if a person is 6/7 years from their partner I think is fine but over that gets a little weird

Are we not going to talk about how in Tuck Everlasting, TEN YEAR OLD WINNIE HAS A CRUSH ON 104 YEAR OLD MAN 💀💀💀 (ik tuck everlasting is old sry but uhhh i had to point it out)

That's because 18 being an age of consent is a fairly recent thing, In Mediaeval times, you could marry as early as you hit puberty. We feel these films are creepy because we grew up in a completely different age than the original stories. That's what they are, just stories, don't read much into it.

I think a big reason the ages are neglected is because we don’t know their age. We can only go off the appearance of the characters. Most people don’t look up the ages of characters. The only time we would know their age is if it was stated in the movie or show.

I remember back when i was in high school one of my female friend kept bragging that she was dating a guy in his 30s(many of the female students were bragging they were dating older guys... I think most of them were lying) not sure if they are still together or if she was lying.

For Mulan and Shanghai 3 years works under Romeo and Juliet laws. And it is highly speculated that Snow White is 14 and the prince is 31 but the animators wanted to make her look old enough to get married and I don't know where the age gap rumor came from

about Eugene and Rapunzel. Thing is, while Eugene is indeed 26 years old as of the final season of Tangled the series, the series also confirms he believed he was 3 years younger, so 23, due to having lived on his own for the majority of his life, with no reference as to how old he was when he started living on his own. And that is ignoring the fact that he actually was 23 in the movie. So he would have believed he was 20 when he met Rapunzel.

Rapunzel didn’t get married until her 20’s, there’s canonically a few years between the movie and the wedding short film

19 and 16 isn't too wierd, at least not here in Britain

The guy Riley is dating is 17? Thought he was around the same age

Ooh, 31 years guy??? This prince. The theory is that the dwarfs saved Snow White, not the prince. There is also the whole child arranged marriages. The 16 year olds now. 😂

Honestly, I forgot that Lori did that in the loud house. I was gonna say a kid having a crush on someone older than them. It's not that big of a problem. We all probably had crushes on someone. That was a lot older than us.
