We are sure you love Disney movies. We love them too.
All these movies have been a great part of childhood for many generations - from black and white to color movies. One thing that is common in every princess movie is a Prince Charming.
Whenever a princess is in trouble the prince will seek out and help the damsel in distress or, in the more modern films, she might save him, or maybe they save each other.
When we grow up, these movies create a kind of escape from the real world and help us create an alternate reality, which gives us respite from the trouble of life.
So, if you are looking for name inspiration for a character based on a Disney Prince or simply looking to recall all the Disney Princes to ever grace the screen, then read our detailed list of Disney Princes.
When Disney started producing fairytale movies all the characters were designed to provide an escape from the lives we usually live. All Disney Princes from Prince Charming to Aladdin were created to show what men could be like, should be like. The names of Disney Princes on this list are from the original Disney Princes.
1. Aladdin: Or as known as Prince Ali Ababwa, is the hero of the 'Aladdin' movie franchise and the TV series. Though he is not a prince by royal birth but by marriage with the beautiful Princess Jasmine. He is still considered the most popular Disney character and prince to star in Disney productions to date.
2. John Smith: Is the male lead and a prince in the movie 'Pocahontas'. John Smith was the boyfriend of Pocahontas. He is the first prince of the franchisee who isn't fictional.
John Smith was a real person. It is said that John Smith was a colonist captain who lived in Virginia. He is technically a prince, but he's not our favorite, Pocahontas didn't need a man!
3. Li Shang: In the movie, 'Mulan' Li Shang was the second lead character who becomes the love interest, fiancé, and later husband to Mulan. In the second movie 'Mulan II' he helped lead the emperor's army. Li Shang was the army general.

7. Prince (Consort) Eugene Fitzherbert: Is the second lead of the film 'Tangled'. He was the love interest of Rapunzel in the first movie.

11. Hercules: the famed son of Zeus and Hera in Greek folklore and the protagonist of the movie 'Hercules'.
We cannot officially call him Disney Prince, though he meets all criteria, as his wife Megara is not an official Disney Princess, he is not a Disney Princess. However, he is still considered the best Disney prince because is a demi-God.

17. Robin Hood: Though he is a thief and the protagonist of the movie 'Robin Hood' but he is brave, noble, and loyal.
He is the love interest of Maid Marian and later becomes her husband. Robin Hood gained popularity among masses due to his valiant character and his willingness to go the extra mile to do what was rightful.
