From everything to reversing the old time gender roles of the gal princess out in the wide world and the hunky prince; here we have THE prince charming after his romps and minor adventures; cursed, attracting ALL ladies' attention like no other, but the guy begins to feel remorse over the affects and the promised end to love as a result of his bachelorhood continuing. Fairly deep. Coupled with another protagonist in the form of the free willied, treasure seeking rogue that is female, and instead of a girl in a disney film, this "lady" is mature enough and the same age of the prince, in body and mind ( no skinny gals here, just an in shape shapely awesome chick).
There are of course many cliches, but it is a medieval romance adventure animated film. However its surely targeted at an older pre teen to teen or older audience by not only the ages of the characters, but the situations, the endless amorous references, plus a bunch of jabs at disney films and jokes from Monty Python films . Its even got John Cleese in this! References to aladdin, cinderella, sleeping beauty, snow white. Forget em. The characters had deeper emotions and motivations, that though not properly expressedal lthe time, got across well enough to relate. This was a funny movie and the music, done by SIA, was pretty good as well. I am was glad to have watched it. Heres to changing up the formula! 6/10
