Top 10 Worst Disney Movie Couples

I wasn't originally going to do this list, but then I realized that there are some terrible Disney couples that just can't be ignored. So these are the worst Disney movie couples. Just so there's no confusion, each couple has to have both characters actually love each other. So, NOT Anna and Hans.
The Top Ten
1 Ariel and Eric (The Little Mermaid)

This made me angry because Ariel doesn't deserve to be with Eric! Ariel wants more than what she already has, she goes to the surface and falls in love with the first guy she sees, she makes a deal with and evil sea witch and gives up her voice to be with Eric. I also hate how he only likes Ariel for her voice. Ursula later on tries to steal Ariel's soul but Ariel's father takes her place and when everything gets resolved, she gets legs, gets Eric, and learns nothing. How does that happen!? It's like that Christmas episode of Teen Titans Go where the Titans are on the naughty list and then sneak into Santa's factory, do a bunch of awful things such as framing, murdering, and blowing stuff up, and they end up on the nice list at the end! I know Ariel and Eric's romantic scenes are pretty romantic but Ariel betrayed her father in order for it to happen! And she still wins in the end! I hate Ariel so much!

Am I the only who loves Ariel/Eric? I can see why other people hate Ariel or hate this couple but Ariel did show regret for getting herself and father into trouble with Ursula. She even said "Daddy I'm sorry! " Eric has shown to love Ariel for her other qualities other than her voice. The only reason Eric was obsessed with her voice because it was the only thing to remember and the tool to find her. So their romance is more of a fairy-tale rather than realistic romances but at least they have great chemistry together.

Ariel and Eric relationship was merely passional, unlike other princesses who, at least, spoke a word or two with their love interest, Ariel straight up leaves her family and changes her body for a hot guy she just met, he doesn�'t like Eric because he�'s inteligent or interesting, just because he�'s hot.
She signs a contract with a sea witch, just to make someone forcedly fall in love with her in less than 3 days, and they don�'t say aword to each other until Ariel gets her voice back. This is the most superficial Disney couple by far, and this is why Ariel is the most sexist Disney Princess.

Ariel was willing to stop seeing her father, sisters, and her best underwater friends forever for a guy she fell in love with based on looks, said she loved him when she doesn't know 99% about his life. No one falls in love in two minutes, Ariel.

2 Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez (High School Musical)

Talk about conflict! In each Behaving Badly scene, there is a conflict involving their relationship! It gets so annoying! For example, Nina Pennington breaks up with Rick Stevens for beating her up like a male white teenage nobody! Then later on, Rick Stevens glaringly has a fit and Nina Pennington goes to jail for getting together with Rick Stevens where Justin Bieber's live-action character is being thrown. These two have serious issues! I'm surprised they're still together! These are definitely the worst characters to be portrayed by Nat Wolff and Selena Gomez! Selena Gomez was good in Wizards of Waverly Place and Nat Wolff was good in The Intern. But I can't stand Rick and Nina!

Talk about conflict! In each High School Musical film, there is a conflict involving their relationship! It gets so annoying! For example, in HSM 2, Gabriella quits her job at the country club, sings about going her own way, gives Troy back the necklace he gave her even though they don't show her giving him back the necklace, then she leaves in her mom's car even though she never called to be picked up! These two have some serious issues! I'm surprised they're still together! These are definitely the worst characters to be portrayed by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgeons! Zac Efron was good in the movie Neighbors and Vanessa Hudgeons was good in Spring Breakers. But I can't stand Troy and Gabriella!

They should be number 1
I don't even care about Disney couples in great Disney movies but why Ariel and Eric was no. 1 in this list. The movie The Little Mermaid was classic but I don't even care about the couples though, I only like Sebastian singing during the love scene and especially "Under The Sea".

But for High School Musical, I don't mind it because it's every pre-teen/teenage girl's movie and I was only 5 or I don't know 7?
But this movie is my childhood and I only get sickened by those two teens. I'm now a teen in 2018 and in 2016 even gets worst when the crew reunited.

*vomit*

Right from the moment I saw those people hanging out together I knew they were just a cheesy couple. And Troy was cheating on Gabriella just for her looks.

3 Cinderella and Prince Charming (Cinderella)

I've been wanting to talk about this for a long time! After being wronged by her sisters and mother, Cinderella meets her fairy godmother who gives her a new dress and glass slippers that don't disappear after midnight because plot. So Cinderella goes to the ball and meets the prince. He instantly falls in love with her out of all the other beautiful women in the room. Apparently Cinderella was the only blonde girl in the ball. Let me get to why this relationship doesn't work. They had one dance together and instantly fall in love. ONE DANCE! Cinderella runs away when it gets close to midnight, glass slipper falls off somehow, and then the prince tries to fit the slipper on multiple girls. What the heck!? Is that seriously the only way he can recognize her? Foot size? It's like Anna said, "Foot size doesn't matter." He must not love Cinderella enough to recognize her appearance! And then they get married at the end. Haha. Just awful!

He is so boring and he does not even have a real name. Cinderella deserves better.

Apparently they don't mind but Prince charming is a player!

4 Pocahontas and John Smith (Pocahontas)

I know a lot of people hate the relationship between Pocahontas and John Rolfe, but I give it credit for being historically accurate. As for Pocahontas and John Smith, there was no proof that they were a thing. That's not the only problem I have. I felt their connection to be so bland. I just didn't feel the bond between them. It's kinda like Anikin Skywalker and Padmé from Attack of the Clones or Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades of Grey. No chemistry! That part Pocahontas communicates with John Smith is kinda cool. But it would've been better if she didn't happen to learn English from THE WIND! I mean, seriously! What was up with that!?

This romance already seemed totally forced, but it's made flat out insulting given how historically inaccurate it is. I know that it's a movie and Disney has made countless changes to original stories in the past, but these were REAL LIFE PEOPLE. They just can't say that this person got with this person for the sake of plot and romance. We've had a Native American unit in my school recently and Pocahontas' story could not have been farther away than what it was here. If you like the romance between her and John Smith in the movie, then fine. I don't care. Just understand that this was 100% fictitious and never actually happened.

If only Pocahontas didn't know English. Their relationship could have been so much deeper if they had to use body language.

They are a cute couple movie wise.

5 Anna and Hans (Frozen)

Whoever added this is an idiot. And the people who voted for it are idiots. This was supposed to be a list about ACTUAL Disney couples! Hans didn't really love Anna! It was a trick! So they're not actually a couple! It's almost as if you didn't read the description!

Why do I feel like there's just one anonymous person commenting on here multiple times?

This would be the worst ever! I'm so glad it never happened.

6 Felix and Calhoun (Wreck-it Ralph)

This couple pairing makes no sense. I feel like that after writing the backstory for Calhoun in which she lost her husband to a giant bug, they wanted so desperately to give Calhoun a boyfriend. So they just went with Felix because reasons. Felix falls in love with Calhoun when he first meets her. They go on an adventure to find Ralph. Calhoun tells Felix to go away after he says something that reminds her of her past. Then later on in the film, they kiss and get married. As much as I hate the relationship between the two, it's actually kind of funny. But seriously though, why did they get married if they just met? This isn't a princess film! And to be honest, I don't see this relationship working out.

This actually makes sense, Calhoun needs a boyfriend.

No they look weird together.

7 Mulan and Li Shang (Mulan)

This isn't on the list just because I have a crush on Mulan and can't stand to see her with someone else, but that's a big part of the reason! In the first movie, Mulan didn't care about love. She mostly cared about honor and her family. Mulan and Shang respected each other but were not so much in love with each other. They ruin this in the sequel by making Mulan care way too much about love and being true to your heart like a stereotypical girl. She's not supposed to act like that! I feel like ever since they started dating, they're personalities have changed. They were absolutely perfect the way they were in the first movie! I honestly wish Mulan didn't get a boyfriend. I hate Mulan II. Worst Disney sequel ever!

I love Mulan (the movie) but I agree that Mulan and Li Shang's romance was a bit forced. Still a great movie though. Is it true that they're making a live-action reboot?

Mulan in the first movie was portrayed as someone who doesn't really care that much about love. but in the second movie, her personality totally changed and she became more stereotypical D:

They are such a cute couple.

8 Hercules and Megara (Hercules)

According to Greek mythology, Hercules and Meg get married, have a child, and then Hercules kills Meg and their child after Hera gives him temporary madness. So it's safe to assume that after the events of this movie, Meg dies. But that's probably unlikely since nothing else in this movie is accurate! In the movie, Meg worked for Hades and tricked Hercules. So I don't know why he still chose to be with her! I guess it's better than dating Meg from Family Guy. I really hate the ending of this movie because Hercules gives up everything he worked for, just to be with Meg! That was such a huge slap to the face! One of the reasons why Hercules is a terrible Disney movie!

They're cute. Love them.

9 Anna and Kristoff (Frozen)

Let me explain why I added this at all. Anna and Kristoff meet each other at Oaken's and go on an adventure to get Elsa to bring back Summer. Later on after we find out that Prince Hans is evil, Olaf tells Anna that Kristoff is her true love because he tried to save her by bringing her back to the castle. That's true, but throughout the time that Anna and Kristoff spent together, I didn't really see much of a connection. It just seemed like two good friends working together. I will give it this. Their relationship is pretty relatable. But honestly, I feel like it came out of nowhere. But that's just my opinion. I just hope that Elsa remains single.

I have many reasons why I consider Kristoff/Anna the worst Disney couple ever!
1) They have no chemistry.
2) Their romance felt forced. I can see them as good friends, but not as a couple.
3) They're both too immature to have a romantic relationship. For Anna, she doesn't know what love is. For Kirstoff, he's gross.
4) Anna didn't really need a boyfriend. What she really needed was to amend her broken relationship with Elsa. It would have been better to keep Anna single and stay friends with Kristoff. That way, the message would have been, "Don't jump into romantic relationships to escape from family problems."
5) I did buy Kristoff warming up to Anna but it still felt one-sided because Anna was still ga ga over Hans (which was stupid because Elsa never approved her engagement to Hans). I also felt that Anna only liked Kristoff because the script called for it.

They felt forced. There was no chemistry between them. Even if I did see something going on between them, it felt one-sided. On Kristoff's side, you see him warming up to Anna a bit but even then, he still came off as a friend, rather than as a boyfriend. On Anna's side, nothing at all. She was still in love with Hans and even after Hans betrayed her, her decision to go with Kristoff, felt forced. Kristoff and Anna were like the unlikeable, unloving, and unfunny version of Flynn/Rapunzel.

I never even even like the idea portrayal of Prince Hans as an evil, villainous, antagonistic character at all anyway all because they only just unfairly wanted to use him as an excuse for two sisters of Aren-delle to make up with each other and be best sister friends again. It's better if they had Hans fully reformed by redeeming him and his whole entire life back then before in the first original movie, Frozen.

10 Mater and Holley Shiftwell (Cars 2)

Cars 2! Pixar's worst movie! It has way too much Mater in it! Also, they give Mater a girlfriend! That's pretty much the only reason why Holley Shiftwell exists! To give Mater a love interest! I'm pretty sure we knew it was going to happen. The problem was we didn't want it to happen! I'll admit, Holley Shiftwell is hot. Did I really just call a car hot? Holley is WAY too attractive for Mater! What exactly does she see in Mater? She didn't seem to like him that way at first but then Mater figured out who the villain was. It was one of the most obvious villain reveals ever! Anyone could've figured it out! Don't know how that was enough for Holley to fall in love with Mater. Actually, I guess it's a little understandable. She probably finds him funny. Kind of like how Jessica Rabbit likes Roger Rabbit.

Screw Cars 2. Let's just hope and pray that Cars 3 will be better. Pixar has shown themselves capable of making sequels with the awesomeness that was Finding Dory. There's a slight chance that Cars 3 will be good. But I'm talking like a slight, SLIGHT, razor thin chance.

Mater sounds like a male porn star and Holley Shiftwell sounds like a Bond girl.

The Contenders
11 Miley and Jake (Hannah Montana)

Plus Miley could've done much better than an egoistic zombie slayer, that claims he wants to be a normal kid, but still milks off his fame. Also why the sudden attraction to him? Like she went from being really annoyed with him, to "wow, he is the most attractive person in the world". Through, there's worse

Awkward chemistry, they always cheat on each other. Disney should had left the couple go after 1st season. Not stretching their nonexistent chemistry to season 4

When Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana has a love affair with boys, she makes them look like nobodies.

12 Aurora and Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)

I love this other couple a lot, far more than ever. This other couple is better than those insufferable love hate relationships anyway.

They are actually my favorite couple. They met once upon a dream!

Do I even need to explain why I voted for this?

13 Vanellope and Shank (Ralph Breaks the Internet)

Folks, it being a lesbian couple (which you lot will still insist is "so very needed" in a world where Steven Universe exists and so many movies and shows featuring families have had at least one background or supporting same-sex couple) and Shank being "so perfect best character ever" to you does. Not. Negate. The. Creepy. Pedophilia factor.

Get this above Felix/Calhoun (which shouldn't be on this list at all) if not Ariel/Eric (which is only #1 because of the Jim Hawkins case fangirls)! This pairing was uninspired and forced.

No, you don't get a pass for saying you'd "ship it if Vanellope was older" or anything to that effect. You still *think* about shipping it, so no.

14 Esmeralda and Pheobus (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

I feel like people who voted for this couple are missing the point.
You see, there are three contenders for Esmeralda's love. The first is Frollo, but we all know what would be a mess. He sees her as a witch, and as nothing but evil.
The second is Quasi. Everyone loves Quasi and wants him to end up with the girl. But Quasi's feelings for Esmeralda were the complete opposite of Frollo's-he worshipped her, and in a way, still saw her as a non-human. And anyway, Quasi wasn't ready to be in a relationship. He couldn't even appreciate himself for who he was.
Then, we've got Phoebus. Phoebus treats Esmeralda as what she is-a fierce, headstrong fighter. He challenges her and exchanges some pretty lively banter with her in Notre Dame.
Esmeralda is allowed to love who she wants to love. She isn't required to fall in love with the main character. Personally, Phoebus and Esmeralda made up one of my favorite Disney pairings.

I hate this couple so much! I really like Quasimodo. He's a great guy. So it was depressing to see him sad. Esmeralda and Phoebus kiss each other right in front of him! I am very certain she was aware of his feeling for her. Not only that but it's very rushed! They hated each other, then Esmaralda saves Phoebus's life, then they kiss. No development! It was very unnecessary! Poor Quasimodo.

I look at Quasimodo and Esmeralda and I'm like aww there so cute together... then I look at Esmeralda and that other guy (I forgot his name) and I'm like why Disney whyyy?!?!?

15 Snow White and Prince Charming (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

I love this couple a lot far more than ever. This couple is better than those insufferable love hate relationship couples anyway.

I love this couple a lot far more than ever. This couple is better than those love hate relationship couples anyway.

Just like Cinderella and Sleeping beauty, it's lust at first sight, not love. He also kissed a person who was in a coma.

16 Ralph and Vanellope (Wreck-it Ralph)

And this is even ignoring the contrived "issues" Disney gave them so as to push SJW friendly versions of the Disney Princesses and lame Grand Theft Auto Online ripoffs with blatant Mary Sues.

Um... They're not even a couple. Who had the dumb idea to submit this choice?

Really? A grown man with a little girl with a 40 year old's voice... Who thought this up

They're not a couple, it be weird and creepy if they were.

17 Nick and Judy (Zootopia)

That one line near the end spawned THOUSANDS of cringy fan art/fics. But I wouldn't be mad at all if it happened in a POSSIBLE sequel (because they do work well together), just I hope it wouldn't be the main plot point.

I like this ship, to be honest. Yes, It sounds weird, But In the end of the movie, Nick said to Judy that he knew that she loved him and she admits so.

Those defending and gushing over this one: just you wait for the inevitable sequel, and keep Disney's other recent sequels in mind.

Nothing about them screams "meaning of love", "what every couple should be", "relationship goals", or anything of the sort. It was forced!

18 Tinkerbell and Terrance (Tinkerbell)
19 Ralph and Shank (Ralph Breaks the Internet)

Why do people still love the idea of this?

20 Woody and Bo Peep (Toy Story)

It might just be me but I feel as if there is no chemistry between them. It's akin to actors dating just because the first movie they did cast them as lovers, and they simply haven't realised that their actual personalities don't mesh well...well, for Bo Peep, her lack of one (outside of sometimes being lustful for Woody's nonexistant 'snake', does she really show any personality? ).
Not to mention Woody never needed a background character as a love interest. Why is Bo Peep even his love interest?

I usually like most Pixar couples, but these two are the definition of cringe! All they do is make googly eyes at each other and Little Bo Peep lacks any substance. It's one thing to be girly, but that's all her personality is centered around! I'm surprised that these two aren't higher up on the list!

21 Lilo and Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)

People ship a, what, 6, year old human with a nowhwere near human creature?

22 Elsa and Hans (Frozen)
23 Sergeant Calhoun and Shank (Ralph Breaks the Internet)
24 Peter Pan and Wendy Darling (Peter Pan)
25 Simba and Nala (The Lion King)

Why? Is it because they're best friends until Scar killed his own brother before he tricked Simba into leaving the pride lands? Yes? No?

Did you know they could be cousins or siblings?!?!?
