Agreed! As a kid I always loved the second movie due to seeing more of the kids and the whole camp plot but as u grow up, the first movie gets funnier when you notice things you didn't understand as a kid. 😂

Me tooo

I agree!

Yes! This movie would be good to dissect!

Same!!! We need a Cinema Therapy on Emperor's New Groove!

Yesss thay are my favorite!!!

And how he raised his sons to be respectful to and of women as well

"You're telling the story or am I??" "I'm sorry, mi vida, go on..."

Yes! Definitely!

"married in a hurricane..." "wHaT a BeAuTiFuL dAy-"

Noted. I mean I’m not even dating let alone married but noted.

@@thehevandragon neither am I lol. I do love that simple line. It is difficult to keep things simple sometimes.

And so very hard to do at times. Lol.

So would I! Me & Earl & The Dying Girl would be a great choice to start with

And maybe look at male friendships vs. female friendships?

This is great because so many movies are "main character plus supportive bestie who is barely a person" There are a lot of great buddy movies, though, like planes trains and automobiles

Have you heard of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? It explores ALL of that

@@kiwitealc5353 There's a ton of great movie material about friendship, especially comedies. My favorite is "Peter's Friends", but also "Bridesmaids", "The Heat " (Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock), Sideways...

The human couple and dog couple are both so good!

Roger and Anita are also relationship goals

"Do as your mother/father says," was the best example of being a team! Pongo/Perdita and Rodger/Anita for the win 🏆

Yes!

If you read the book, Pongo's mate is Missy, and Perdita is a mama with pups that they rescued. They end up in a polyamorous relationship.

Similar to when Pam ripped her wedding veil and Jim cut his tie on "The Office" XD

To use Bob Ross' words: there's no mistakes, just happy little accidents 🥲

not only does she add hers, but she adds it like they are holding hands.

@@tracyroweauthor yeah😊

Came here to say this. They are also great parents.

They’re not perfect the whole film, but overall yes

@@rayesafan9628 That’s part of what makes them great!

​@rayesafan9628 that's why they are a perfect portrayal of an amazing couple. No couple is perfect and a perfect portrayal reflects that.

The first one yes, the second one not so much.

I didn't particularly care for the movie, but that was my favorite scene. Like you, it's the scene I remember best out of that whole long movie.

That was a real life couple and it was the inspiration for Jack and Rose. She was offered a place on a life-boat, but chose to die with her husband.

That was based on a real-life couple who died going down with the ship-Isidor and Ida Straus. Isidor and his brother had become co-owners of Macy’s department store in the 1890s. So the couple was very rich. They were on the Titanic because they were returning from a visit to their native Germany, where they still had family. I bet she supported him so much in the stressful world of entrepreneurship, through thick and thin. Couple goals right there.

♥♥♥

As a fellow infertile woman, I feel you. I mean, I don't have a partner and I don't want a baby. But maybe this fact will make it easier for either of us to adopt a kid sometime in the future! Personally, I see it as a blessing because I have tokophobia, but that's just me.

An underrated and overlooked movie, which also happen to be one of my favorites, the film Return to Me, with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny, which came out around 1999, is a veritable almanac of healthy relationships. Not just married, or romantic relationships, but supportive friends and family are exemplified. I would love to hear your thoughts. Keep up the great work.

@@LadybugsOpin Thanks, I just learned what tokophobia is. I don't think I have it myself but I'm definitely not looking forward to the giving birth part of it.

@@sarahlandis289 Fair enough!

I love Roger and Anita!

This was my first thought as well.

Yes!!! Both the cartoon and live.

I also really liked Pongo and Perdita, specifically the fact that they back each other up with all the pups “better do as your mother/father says”

Aww, that's a sweet one!

There's the second movie, when their kid is adolescent already. And also, Toula's parents are a great married couple as well. Love the neck quote...

@@Alehzinhah true

Tulare and Ian grow in their romance

I was just thinking about that when I re-watched

Understandable

It's ok. You're not alone. I'm the same, and sometimes its hard dealing with a world that expects everyone to be interesting in romance and marriage for themselves.

You are definitely not alone. I’m on the ace spectrum, and it can sometimes be really hard to be in such a minority, but you’re still valid. You’re not alone.

I think you might be on the wrong side of the internet then usually, I hear about asexuality, aroace, non-binary, etc. all the time on the internet. I’m usually into progressive left-winged stuff so I hear about that a lot. If you feel alone or feel like you haven’t heard a lot of people on the media talk about it, you may be on the wrong side of the internet most of the time.

You also aren’t alone and I’m sorry you feel that way. There are plenty of people who feel the same way and there are many safe spaces for you to go to to connect with people like you. You’re never alone. ❤️

they’re so underrated!! They have such great chemistry and have created such a healthy and loving home 🥹 I wish they were my parents

"Oh my god who told you?! We were going to discuss this at the right time, as a family" - my favorite almost background line from that movie when the son who is very obviously black, in the otherwise Elmer's glue complected family, casually notes that he's adopted.

That’s a great one! They’re just not in the movie very long

oh my god yes.

He's adopted..."WHAT?!? WHO TOLD YOU??!"

True

Yes!! Yes, yes, yes!

And Izma is a gem. Period. Basically, my role model minus evil schemes.

Great point!

Facts I agree

Yup, I condone to that ❤

100% agree! Johnny and Celia are the only couple in "The Help" that seem genuinely happy together.

@@aubreycarter7624 Also they were the only couple who weren't racist and didn't give a damn about the norms of the time and were genuinely good people.

​@@voicesforlife I don't know as though _Johnny_ is the one making Celia feel like she needs to be the perfect wife... I always felt that it was Celia making herself feel that way due to thinking Johnny only married her because she was pregnant and because of the pressures of the other wives in the society clique. She just desperately didn't want to embarrass or disappoint him. Unless I'm forgetting something that Johnny did or said, ofc. 🤷‍♀️

I was going to suggest Easy A as well. I love that whole family dynamic.

Yes, the Weasleys are a great married couple ❤

I was coming here to say the same thing!

You are so right on both couples.

Agreed. They're a wonderful couple.

One of the best on screen couples and I loved their romance.

Yesssssssssss

Oh absolutely, a great couple in a great movie

Oh, that would be great!

I Love that movie!!

Yes!

My favorite 😌

YES

Heck that was a sad fact... these 20/30 something guys couldn't figure a way to write married Mary Jane watson and Peter Parker so they wanted to break them back so Parker is swinging single so went to their just divorced boss and pitched breaking the wedding up and he basically went I like it run it and make sure they can't get together again and we can make Parker young again. Pre Quesada since STan Lee was still more involved nixed it saying Parker deserved a life however...

Oh yes, they're great! So cute together!

Even before when she jerks him up short and he tries to cut her off and she's not having any of it

😢 The dad who shows his son time travel?

@@kasenleal5757 Yes!!!!!!!!!!! It's stunning.

I love this movie! I'd love to see it here too

Yes!! One of my favourite films of all time.

It has a good Dad and Son relationship. The main couple tho starts out good but almost immediately turns into a stalker relationship which is nooooo bueno

I came to the comments to say this!!!

On the contrary, I'd call Bob and Hellen Parr an example of the closest people can come to that ideal of a "perfect" marriage. They have their fights, they don't always see eye to eye, but they stick together, they work through their problems and they communicate. Not perfectly, but they try.

@@sarahluchies1076 I agree

Yeah

I also liked when Helen suspected the possibility of Bob cheating on her with another woman (Mirage), she didn't accuse or interrogate him right away like how most movies would. She stuck to her trust and patience, even though it must've been anxiety-inducing for her.

What movie are Bob and Helen Parr from?

Great minds... I immediately had to think of the scene where Darcy helps Lizzy onto the carriage after the Netherfield ball, and then the camera just focuses on him flexing his hand.

Those are not married couples.

@@Alehzinhah That is true, although they do both end up getting married!

I'd say that 2005 Pride & Prejudice is the one version where Mr. Bennett and Mrs Bennett have a healthy marriage. Mr Bennett has a kinder humor in his teasing of his wife, there are moments where they touch and kiss, and we also saw them lay in bed and talk to each other. They were an older couple with different personalities who were quite content with each other. I think their shared hobby of eavesdropping through doors kept their spark alive.

@@rockstarchick820 Someone read a different book than the rest of us.

I've been called "legendary non-romantic" quite often. I hate the bad relationships idealised I pop music! Dependence, stalking, seeing a person as property, you name it. That's because happy, trusting and mutually supportive love is not dramatic. Daily life compatibility is what I have been looking for since teenage years. Happily married for 15 years now. It is well worth it. Don't believe the drama they try to sell.

To me, I believe she definetely had a misscarriage, since they were decorating the nursery and all... kinda something you usually do once you're already pregnant

!!! Carl and Ellie's relationship is so sweet and that's one of the few movies that still manages to make me tear up despite having watched it many times

I figured it was both, some women have miscarriages and are only told then that they have fertility issues. So I always took the scene to mean they had lost a baby and were told they'd probably never have a child together...

@@giovannadiaz1917 On the other hand, one miscarriage isn't usually enough on its own to make you give up on having children. And the nursery decoration is more about when you expect to have kids rather than when you're definitely pregnant (unless you're taken by surprise) - though, yeah, it's pretty plausible that it would get put off until the looming deadline makes it urgent rather than being done as a project early.

@@rmsgrey All good points, but to add on: In my family and amongst some family friends, the first miscarriage was always how they found out about issues with how their uterus developed as well as infertility. Uterine septum is one issue they could learn about, where fertilization can happen, but the placenta doesn't develop properly, and a unicornuate uterus, which means it is smaller than normal and cause an increase in ectopic pregnancies etc. There's other conditions, like endometriosis, can be discovered because of that first miscarriage. Some people are lucky regardless of the complications they face with these conditions etc., but that doesn't takeaway from the many who still cannot succeed. In the case of UP!, seeing one miscarriage or failed fertilization can be more than enough to make people give up on having children. (This is just to add on and potentially educate anyone interested,. None of this was intended to take away or diminish what was already said. Anyone and everyone is free to ignore me.)

I have to ask. If everyone loves it, how is it underappreciated?

@@lou8391 Right? Also, it's never been one of my favorites. The art style just... yeah, not my thing.

Yeah, I'm one of those who didn't love it. The art style also did not work for me; it would have been great in a cartoon series, but in a film it somehow felt cheap. Among other things that rubbed me the wrong way about it. I can objectively admit that many things about it may be great, but I just did not enjoy watching it enough to ever rewatch.

​@@lou8391 it was not well-received at its release, and only found a following years later

Not really, is like you say, a very loved one, almost a cult movie, even with a sequel and a series

You’re welcome! Everyone is welcome here. ❤️

Subscribed

Ooooo, good call!

That would be brilliant! I honestly was expecting a bit of that here. I'd like to see both movies covered because both partners take on different roles depending on their circumstances and it's fascinating to watch.

Yes, to all!

I love seeing a strong man learn to be safe in his own masculinity and support a strong woman. The incredible series did such a great job of showing outside people influencing how Bob felt about himself and having to move past that to support his wife and really be developed a supportive partnership.

Yes!!! Both harmony and discord in their marriage!!!

Love them!

oh yes, they are amazing

Also came here to say Easy A!

Omg I’d love for them to do Easy A!!

+1

Yes! It’s my favorite comfort movie! It’s just always perfect ❤ no stress, healthy relationships and a happy ending yessss

They did get married right at the end tho! And there's a couple scenes of their life after This one pairing is kind of an enigma to me because the setup was so darn cliche, but in the sequel the decision to go that direction is justified right off the bat by showing how much they've grown together. can definitely vouch for it!

@@kordeliiius9821 yeah, i just meant that they weren’t married through the entire series.

Yes I love hiccup and Astrid, and even stoick and valka

Hmm…. I don’t really think the beginning of their relationship is that great, but I absolutely love how much Astrid believes in Hiccup in the second two.

@@rachelking3055 enemies to friends to lovers is one of my favourite tropes

funny thing in the book Who Framed Roger Rabbit is based on Jessica and Roger had a REALLY REALLY toxic marriage... like if I recall he used some form of aphrodisiac to get her to the altar toxic

They did an episode on Gomez and Morticia a while ago. It's a pretty fun one.

@@Monocultured01 I watched it. Thought that they should be included with a list of odd healthy marriages

@@Ladywizard Honestly, the book is underrated. Way better than I ever expected it to be

Yes!!

I literally thought of them while watching this video.

YES YES YES YES YES YEESSSSSS!

AND they turn out to be great parents! Evy very tender and loving, Rick very authoritative but still kind, both showing love and passion and respect and support for each other and their son. I could go on and on and on! Lol But yes, they were one of my first thoughts.

Y E S

YES INDEEDY

Yes...

omg, YES!!! they're so sweet with eachother.

YES!! Yes yes yes! I've always loved these two

absolutely! i love how the wife took Kiki in and the husband wasn't even surprised, he was just like "oh, cool. i have a kid now."

You're so welcome!

I second this! My sister and I have always been very close, and I just saw Onward maybe 2 weeks ago for the first time 💗

Agreed! I'd love to see this too! A movie about the connection between siblings is People Like Us. Beautiful movie. Gets us every time.

they have one on siblings about little women, you should watch it

I'd love to see this

The something borrowed friendship is so toxic

@@danzi373 but what the level of toxicity it is would probably be the real question there.

Amazing idea!

I would love this!!!

My husband was my advocate even before my diagnosis of ASD Level 1 and ADHD Inattentive Presenting Moderate. When I first began the process and told him, "I think I'm on the autism spectrum", he asked how it would change our lives. I told him I wasn't sure, but I imagine it will only get better because now I'll have the tools to work around my obstacles. It's been a few years, and our companionship is even stronger and more beautiful! And he is still my advocate. Good people are out there, and lonely, and wanting companionship. Your eyes need to be wide while dating, sure, but you also need to discern what is a red flag vs. what is just natural human shortcomings, and your partner has to also do that. I think a tragedy of our world at the moment is so many people aren't willing to extend grace or compassion for the human shortcomings. I had a guy that proposed to me, and when I turned him down he said, "but we are soul mates, I just feel it." So I asked my father, who is a flawed human being but who still gives me good counsel, if he believed in soul mates. After thinking for a moment, he said yes. But then he said, "but soul mates aren't instantaneous. Soul mates become soul mates because they trust and can be trusted through the ups and downs of life. And there are going to be a lot of ups and a lot of downs. But somewhere along the way, choosing to be kind and graceful even through the hardest storms, you become each other's soul mates." I always thought that was beautiful. I am so grateful I didn't settle for that man who proposed to me. It was incredibly painful, unraveling our lives from one another. But I found my husband two years later, who was a friend for about a year before he asked me out (because I was dating other people, and so was he). I only agreed to the date because I figured it would be a fun distraction, this man didn't have hardly any qualities I thought I wanted in a spouse. And I almost broke up with him twice, over issues that felt significant but then I realized they were actually just human missteps. We've been together 12+ years now, have two beautiful neurodivergent children, and are still so in love and happy! I'm grateful I wasn't too prideful to take a chance on a friend, and to really evaluate situations. My father tried to talk me out of marrying my husband a few days before our wedding, but I knew without a doubt that the imperfect man I was marrying was someone who would always put God and family before anything else in this life, and that was important to me. After 4 years of marriage, my Dad finally called my husband "son", and it was beautiful!

​@@lbatemon1158so your dad had common sense and his daughter was blind in love?

I'd like to know how realistic Claire and Jamie are.

I was going to comment Jamie and Claire!

I was thinking of them as well. The goal set out by the author was to portray a long healthy passionate marriage

Jamie abused Claire. Let's not sort this into the healthy category

"BAKE THOSE COOKIES LUCILLE"

Family therapy too! Meet the Robinson’s is so good for an eccentric , kooky yet functional, supportive family lol!

That needs to be an episode. Most of that movie is just bonkers, but then you get to the ending, and the ultimate message of the movie, and it's kleenex time.

The family dynamic was good, however the messages about adoption versus foster care were iffy and got called out by the Adoption community.

It's a really good one for sure for the 2000s

Me too

I second that

Simba x Nala and Carl x Ellie. Aladdin and Jasmine didn't get married until the third movie, but I'm not sure how much time there was between them? That's not to say I am not 100% on board with Robing Hood and Maid Marian though. They are wonderful and I may actually need to rewatch that movie now. 🥰

The problem is their childhood together was told, not shown. We got to see Simba & Nala play together as kids before falling in love as adults, and while we didn’t see all of Carl & Ellie’s shared childhood, the married life montage did a perfect job conveying these two spent a lifetime together.

How did you post this 3 days ago when the video came out today? Is this a patreon thing?

@@sylvirgiomanach1491 I should be years since Aladdin 2 probably happened about a month after the conclusion but right after that, there was the Aladdin show. 86 Episodes, each spanning over 2 to 3 in universe days on average and guessing about a week at least between each adventure so with those estimates 2.3 to 3 years from the end of aladdin 1 to the beginning of aladdin 3. And yes the show is directly connected to the movies.

@@applepie8841 The video was weirdly unlisted but I found it in their couples playlist. Mystery solved!

I love that movie!

And it is such subtle bit of commentary that the Addams family are seen as the ‘weird’ ones by the outside world.

Very much agree!!

Yes I agree! They have a great relationship that evetually turns into love and friendship. they really trust eachother :)

Yessss

I was thining about them, too, but do we really see them married, ever? ^^;

@@EverythingxYourexNot Yeah, they get married

Thanks, will do!

Awesome, thank you, I love these videos so much. I anxiously and excitedly look forward to watching these videos and love what you guys are doing. Thank you so much. We need more of you guys in this world!❤️❤️

sorry if this is too much of a personal question, but have you thought about adoption? i know that can be an incredibly difficult journey too tho

@@hinasakukimi When I was 19, I spent a month in Ho Chi Minh working at an orphanage that was indescribably sad. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to adopt at some point, and my husband agrees. But it’s very expensive and there is a LOT to consider. Private vs public adoptions, open vs. closed, fostering, local vs international, age, disability, etc. Not to mention the ethics of it and what is ultimately best for the child. I am a firm believer that adoption should not be about having ownership of a child, but wanting to do what is best for them. But that’s easier said than done. I’ve heard some adoptees make the case that true “adoption” is like branding ownership over another person without their consent, but usually in those cases they either experienced some form of abuse from their adoptive parents, or their adoption was lorded over their heads, or their parents used it as a symbol of their own status (usually most common when white parents adopt a non-white child). Not only this, but parents who turn to adoption due to infertility tend to impart unintended traumas onto their adoptive children as part of their own inability to heal. It’s a tricky dynamic. That is to say we are still in our late 20s and we planned on looking at adoption a little later in our lives. So we will see what is in the cards! If you’ve adopted or were adopted, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject!

@@courtney3743 you sound like you have a great understanding of the subject and a lot of empathy. i totally understand where you're coming from. i've considered adoption but you've perfectly summarised why it's not something to be taken lightly. i'm in my 20s too so it's something i'll have to give a lot more consideration. thanks for such a thoughtful answer, i'm rooting for you

Courtney, I feel the same; and was at your stage when I saw Up with my young nephews when it came out. I have never been able to have children; and because of deep trauma my husband was not open to adoption. Life has many choices, and I chose to stay in this lovely relationship with this wonderful man who has been and is my life partner. I still have some regret; but I also have a lot of joy and wonder and love in our life. My sincere best wishes and prayers are with you.

I hear you. After 4 years of trying I just lost the #6 attempt. When you finally get that heartbeat, and then it disappears it is so hard, every time. Even with the expense of a reproductive immunologist that seemed to identify the problem but whose treatments didn't change their outcome... The medical procedures or drugs or tests offered as possible answers, the waiting, the hope, the grief...I know. We're now at the point where we have to ask "what next?" It's not an easy decision. I will probably have to let that dream go and figure out how to fill that absence. I don't know the answer yet but for you I hope no matter what, you get peace and happiness.

She is incredibly smart, witty, and clever! Those two have such a loving and endearing relationship. Bonus points that the kids were genuinely funny and not written as annoying.

its what I inspire to be for my girlfriend, even after a long abusive relationship when I saw brave again with my girlfriend I looked at her said "we are the girls version of them and I hope I will be forever".

Ugh I adore those two. Brave has such fun family dynamics in general.

And it's quite refreshing too cause they were (implied) of an arranged marriage. And they built something really beautiful for themselves and their kids

@@blake9033 You're right! I had forgotten the arranged marriage part!

That would be a good one, and for multiple characters. Pacha, a loving family man but a pushover who learns to be more assertive. Kuzco, a selfish narcissist who learns empathy and kindness. Yzma, a manipulative megalomaniac who loses even her loyal sidekick. Also Kronk, who shows he's not a total moron and learns to stand up for himself and do what's right.

@@coffeeaddict9605 Kronk is my favorite character

Yeeees, is so goood!

Oh yes, please, Pacha and Chica are so adorable together. Plus, I'd love to see an analysis of Kuczo's character development, and learning to be less selfish.

I agree, and the best scentence my husband and I learned is: I am mad/angry, but I don't want to fight and I love you. It is easier to calm down and then talk about the problem, why you were angry.

i would love learn more about this what a nice accomplishment!!!! congratulations :)

I totally stand by this and agree wholeheartedly. As soon as we started being a couple, Me and my boyfriend agreed that a romantic partner should also be your best friend, first and foremost. We were bestfriends before we got togheter and we still technically are, while we love each other deeply and super into eachother, he’s so beautiful inside and out, our passion is strong as much as our respect and care for one another. We know we can always count of eachother and tell each other everything, even stuff that can be uncomfortable, and i love him more every day that passes. It’s been just 3 years since we got togheter but we are planning on growing old togheter

Yes, to all of this. We just rewatched The King's Speech, and I was struck by the support and acceptance in that marriage.

My wife and I lost our first pregnancy just before the third trimester last February, it's been a year but it's still hard, especially as we have been talking about trying again. So many times I blamed myself for what happened, things I could have done differently that might have saved the pregnancy, and every time she's there to tell me that it wasn't my fault and I did my best. At the same time, she blames herself, saying she could have done better and failed as a mother, and I'm always there to tell her that she's not to blame and she did her best. I still carry some guilt, as I'm sure she does as well, but the important thing is we've never blamed the other person and we're always there for each other. I'm so happy that your husband is supportive as I've seen many other guys give up in those crisis situations. You found yourself a keeper!

@@scipocelah6677 my condolences on your loss. I am glad you and your wife can be there for each other. Grief can come in waves and when you're least prepared for it, but knowing your partner isn 't blaming you, and being able to share those tough feelings? Yeah, that can make all the difference. Best of luck to you both.

Same! We lost one of our children to a stillbirth and because of our not blaming each other and cherishing and supporting… it actually strengthened our relationship instead of all the “warnings” that it would destroy and hurt us-mostly from people who didnt do what was suggested in this video and refused to move past the tragedy and grow-so glad it didnt. Its a time of sorrow but also of good from how it connected us thru it.

Sorry for your losses, I have nothing to compare that to, I've only lost a parent... My parents-in-law lost their first child, what would have been my husband's big sister, and it took them five years to want to try again. But they've got one of the strongest relationships I've ever seen. Everyone grieves in their own way and at their own rate, grief attacks happen when you least expect it, and you need to support your partner through this (or any) kind of crisis, not blame them.

​@@scipocelah6677 I'm so sorry for your loss -- my first pregnancy ended in a 2nd trimester miscarriage too. It's no one's fault ❤️ But along the topic of marriage, miscarrying was one of the first hard things my husband and I had to go through, and weathering that together and supporting each other through it definitely made us stronger.

that entire family was so refreshing in all the movies/series they appeared into

Agreed and I think Laura Barton will be revealed to be a mutant or some sort of super in the MCU even though she is not one in the comics. She is just too calm for all the weird ish.

That's a great one to point out! There were many chances for the relationship to sour over the course of movies and TV shows but they understand eachother, they know their life together is not the typical kind and held no illusions that they put the Avenger and spy life behind them forever.

Yes! Love this show and their relationship!

I love Hiccup and Astrid! I love the way she encouraged him at the end of the first movie: A - "I bet he (Toothless the dragon) is really frightened now. What are you going to do about it? H - "Eh, probably something stupid." A - "Good, but you've already done that." H - "Then something crazy." A - "That's more like it."😄

Totally agree!!

Yes, I really liked this movie during my childhood, and it really deserves to be discussed more. 💖😍

Classic film and a classic relationship!

Yes!

Not a movie relationship, but a good TV one is Florida & James Evans from Good Times

I actually have the book that movie is based off of and it’s just so good. The movie did right by that book in everything.

jim belushi and yes, a nice marriage!

A "The King's Speech" episode itself would be amazing!

@@annawenrich I second this! We went to watch the movie with our English class back in school and none of us really expected much (because when do you ever of movies you gotta watch for class?) but the entire class left the movie reformed. It was amazing!

​@@annawenrich yes!

Yes! The King’s Speech definitely deserves to be in a Healthy Marriage episode.

My FAVOURITE Cinderella movie out of all of it's reincarnations!

Definitely agree!!! Both of those are wonderful!!!

Same

Same here! It maes me so happy that we're being seen more nowadays. More work can always be done, but it's still the best thing to be mentioned in an episode like this, nonetheless.

It's so wierdly relieving!

The cartoon series has a whole episode dedicated to their relationship and how they fell in love, what makes them work etc. It was very sweet.

I for the most part agree!! In the animated series you get a lot more of her parents, and there is definitely some room for growth there though. If you're talking strictly about their marriage, yes I can see that! They are supportive of each other. But, in the series the king is so paranoid of Rapunzel being kidnapped or worse in the outside world again, and he does try to lock her within the palace for a lot of the show though (obviously harkening back to the movie). The queen from what I remember just tries to tell Rapunzel to understand where her father's requests are coming from, so she does kind of condone that behavior in the beginning. I think she is a lot less overprotective of Rapunzel though. They weren't perfect, but of course they land in a better place at the end of the series.

@@vVRukiadVv That's so interesting! I haven't watched the series yet. 😊

Good call, they were indeed super cute together. When he was feeling insecure, she always uplifted him.

Deadpool and Vanessa are a wonderfull example, but dear god, the amount of editing they'd have to do to make it even vaguely KZfaq friendly! 🤣

​@@AnInsideJoke I'm pretty sure the amount of sex they have before marriage would count as a red flag with these guys... But damn it, I love the romance between Deadpool and Vanessa! 🤣

Hiccup and Astrid are probably one of my favourite couples. The TV show between films 1 & 2 just shows the trials and tribulations they had to go to. So we'll written 😍

Yes the couple beetlejuice would be awesome!!

Heck, the Deetzes, while dysfunctional, really do care for one another. I didn't see it when I was a kid, but Delia Deetz is actually quite relatable now. She sacrificed so much of the life she loved for her husband's sake--she could have refused to leave the city but she didn't. Yes, she's salty about it, but that's fair. And while she and Lydia are constantly bickering she's not cruel to the kid. Also, she stood up for herself in the matter of remodeling but was willing to accommodate Charles's weird desire to just move into a dead man's study.

Oh, I love Slipper and the Rose. Absolutely love it.

I saw Brave as an example of a marriage that did need work, though. At the end of the movie, it was just about perfect. But Elinor really did 'rule the roost' and that wasn't all to the good for the family. The boys didn't respect their father and Merida didn't respect her mother. In the beginning of the movie, you see it - he's a bit more casual about her fretting. But by the time Merida is a teenager, he's obviously worn down into a 'yes dear' man. But at the end, with everything restored, she goes off riding with Merida and lets him take care of those exasperating triplets himself... and a wife should be able to do that from time to time. She should be able to trust her man with their children and with other matters, and not take over every time she thinks she'd do it better. Even a less perfect handling of the situation is better than a marriage in which one partner always winds up being the responsible one.

@@Gothelittle “the boys didn’t respect their father and Merida didn’t respect her mother” so then each of their kids didn’t really respect their same sex parent apparently

Small side note, Angus is Merida's horse, the dad's name is Fergus.

Massimo from Luca is an amazing overlooked father figure.

Good throw in my opinion - they also seem to have a healthy partnership where Tatsuo visits her after she has to stay in the hospital a little longer. It's just a cold, but he's there, to cheer her up, to tell her every update about the girls, to check up on her and possibly just to spend time with her together.

@@dzr4421 agreed!! 👏👏

Yes! This! Plus the mother isn't really absent, the whole family is thinking and talking about her during the whole movie. She's not out of sight/out of mind for any of them, she's still important regardless of her location or her health - that's true care for someone

Yes, there's never any sign of resentment from Tatsuo or any complaints about her not being there to be the caregiver, etc (unlike so many men who still call it "babysitting" when looking after their own kids! 😤). They also do a great job of trying to balance honesty and not talking down to the girls about the situation, while also shielding them so they can be kids, never making their fears worse but also not belittling the concerns that they have.

Yeah, thought about them, too.

Yes please!!!!

Yes yes yes!

They are also great in the Disney + show .

And she is not jealous of Nat she knows how important she is to Clint and embraces her.

Ooh! I forgot about them! Yes, they are an amazing example :D

I feel that! I'm a grey ace and not traditionally monogamous and I'm glad it was touched on and not just dismissed or invalidated.

To all asexual people who read this, if ever in life, you feel misunderstood and unseen, know that I am ready to be your friend, listen to you, see you as you wanna be seen, and overall, just hope the best for you, always.

They mentioned asexuality and polyamorous relationships and I got so very happy
