Charming

Subtitles by explosiveskull

This is the untold true story

of the most famous prince the world has ever known.

You know him -

always coming to the rescue of some damsel in distress.

Well, I know him better.

Hey, all he ever wanted

was to make every girl feel like a princess.

Can you blame him?

When Sleeping Beauty took a hundred-year nap,

he was there with a wake-up call.

When Cinderella needed a partner

toe-to-toe on the dancefloor,

he was a shoo-in.

When Snow White bit that poisoned apple,

his kiss was the cure.

But you can have too much of a good thing.

And that's exactly what got him into this mess.

Mess? I'm just a bit too...

..charming, that's all.

How we doing? You got my good side? (LAUGHS)

Trick question. They're both my good side.

Well, at least that's what they tell me.

Come on, this is for your wedding portrait.

Give me a smile like a man in love.

Love? I wish I even knew what that meant.

Well, then, how did you meet your princess?

Ah, yes, it was a moment I will never forget.

Ooh. Which princess do you mean exactly?

Cinderella! Sleeping Beauty! Snow White!

All three princesses! Welcome to Frazelli's!

I need a wedding cake!

We make the finest wedding cakes in the four kingdoms.

I hope so.

Nobody's going to snooze at my ball.

Except maybe me.

I'm marrying a prince.

Yeah, I'm sure he's a prince of a guy or whatever,

but my beloved, he's an actual prince.

Sing it to some birds who care.

Can we get on with this? My wedding is really soon.

- How soon? - Oh, careful!

You frown too much and you'll get wicked witch eyes!

And your mirror will tell you -

he'll tell you right to your face.

Ladies, ladies!

In 40 years, I have learned that no two cakes

and no two grooms are alike.

So, each of you, tell me something

about the man who has enchanted you so.

Coming through!

Hey! Papa! What a morning!

Oh, son!

Aren't you tired of being hated

by every man in the land?

Curse that cursed curse!

The prince stole my love!

Yeah. I have been trying to run away from the ladies, though.

Mmm!

Just like you asked, Papa.

You don't know how troubling this curse is.

I am attempting to run a kingdom here! Of course I do!

Philippe, you are the future king

and yet you still have not chosen a bride!

Your blasted curse must be broken

and we've only three days before your 21st birthday.

I'm engaged to Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White.

Then just pick one!

That's not love. I don't know the meaning of the word.

Seriously, what is it?

The day has come for you to run the gauntlet.

- The gauntlet? - The rite of passage.

All the way to Fire Mountain.

It will give you the answers you seek

as it did for me and my father before me.

The gauntlet is a journey that makes you a man.

It led me to the Latin beauty that became my true love.

May your mother rest in peace.

Unfortunately, that's also

when I broke the heart of my trusted guide.

You mean Nemeny Neverwish?

She was so jealous of our love.

Nemeny became our enemy,

consumed in dark fairy magic.

She vowed revenge not just on me

but on love itself.

I'll never forget the day it all happened,

the day of your royal blessing.

Presenting the royal blessing fairy!

Your Excellency,

it is my honour to bestow the royal blessing

upon the young prince

as I blessed you and your father before you.

For you, my tiny lord!

From this day forth

you shall always be...

..charming!

- (WHOOSH!) - (BABY CRIES)

Oh! Ohh!

Too much charm!

Nemeny Neverwish?

You seem so surprised, Philip.

I did promise I'd be back.

What have you done?

Oh, how they will throw themselves at your boy now.

He'll be a little heartbreaker,

just like his daddy.

In fact...

..no maiden who gazes into the eyes of the prince

will be able to resist his smile.

She will believe that the prince is her true love.

One by one,

he will steal the heart of every maiden in the land.

Heartbreak will reign.

And when the sun sets on his 21st birthday,

this charming curse will be sealed

and on that day, all love will disappear

forever!

No! I will find a way to break your curse!

It could be broken on the last day with a kiss of true love.

- Guards! - Your Highness!

Seize her!

Seize what? (SNEEZES)

Bless you! Now, don't freak out!

He's got 21 years to find true love's kiss.

- But how? - It can't be that hard.

He's a prince! And he's covered in charm.

Oh, with every lady in the land throwing themselves at him,

will he ever know the difference

between the curse and real love?

We've been over this so many times, Papa.

I still have a few days to consider my options.

We're out of options. I can't do this for you.

You've got to do it for yourself, Philippe.

For myself? How?

How can I tell Papa that I'm scared?

How can I go out there and find

something I don't even understand?

True love?

Every girl I've ever met was hypnotised.

That's not love. It's meaningless. (ECHOES)

Meaningless! (ECHOES)

There's a big echo in my head!

I had no idea there was this much room in here!

Uh... what is he doing with my chair?

All you need is a little push.

For the sake of the kingdom!

And do not return until you choose a wife!

Things you do for love!

Alright, let's go gauntlet-ing!

It's gonna be...

..gaunt-tastic!
