List of all the Disney couples in love (with pictures) from classic and modern Disney animated movies
Some Disney couples discovered their feelings for each other over time (Rapunzel and Eugene; Anna and Kristoff). Some, meeting under less than ideal circumstances, didn't even like each other at first (Belle and Beast; Tiana and Naveen). Others couldn't help falling hard the moment they met (Cinderella and Prince Charming; Aurora and Phillip).
Let's explore those magical movie moments when love struck instantly, though not necessarily on both sides...
