The Best Disney Man Isn't Who You Think

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:59:13 -0400

As little girls, we often dreamt of our Prince Charmings. These dream men, and our Halloween costume ideas, generally depended on which Disney princess we chose to emulate that year. I never got to be Ariel for Halloween, but I loved Prince Eric so much that I named my cat after him – the greatest gesture of love I’ve ever done for a cartoon man.

Though I have, what can only be called, an obsession with Disney movies, my search for “the prince” has been somewhat of a letdown. Disney princes, along with Jane Austen novels and Hollywood endings, have resulted in some very high expectations. I once expected my prince to be able to steer a sunken ship through a typhoon into a giant octopus drag queen’s heart. Was that really asking for too much? … I guess so. Even sans octopi killings, to also expect a (straight) man to wield a sword and sing and know how to waltz is just unrealistic.

It’s not asking too much, however, for our “prince” to make us laugh. Or to be successful doing the thing he loves. Or to commit to us, love us, and be kind to animals. Sound familiar yet?

Roger Radcliffe from One Hundred and One Dalmatians has been severely overlooked and underloved.

At first glance he lacks the stereotypical good looks of the standard Disney man; but, if you look closely, he’s got a bit of a John Krasinski kind of appeal. Roger even makes the goofy Jim Halpert-type faces periodically throughout the movie – especially in the scenes with Cruella. And maybe this is only a selling point for nerdy girls, but a tall lanky man in a sweater vest is pretty hot. The pipe smoking, though now potentially off-putting, was considered gentlemanly and cool at the time, and Roger is undoubtedly an English gentleman. Who else but a gentleman would, as a reflex, offer a woman a hanky? Pulled from his own pocket, no less?

A lot of A.V. Club staffers have had babies recently, so we decided to rpresent them with a special AVQ&A about our favorite birth and creation scenes. Unfortunately we almost all went with body horror films, but hey, at least 101 Dalmatians made the list. What would you add?

“The scene takes place offscreen, with Pongo, her dog husband, and his owner, Roger, waiting in the other room, like proper ‘60s dads, while Roger’s maid, Nanny, announces the birth of 11, no 13, no 15 puppies. Then she comes back sadly noting that the count dropped to 14 because ‘we lost one, the poor little thing’ and hands Roger the apparently stillborn pup wrapped in a blanket. Roger then—and I’m pretty sure the medical science here is dubious—gently rubs the pup until it revives, emerging from the blanket looking weak and confused but very much alive.”

You could say “the science is dubious” or you could say “RODER RADCLIFFE IS A LITERAL GOD” but hey it’s your choice.

“Roger: [singing] Ti tum ti ta ti / Ta tum ti ta tum…
[whistles]
Roger: Do you like my new song?
Anita: Ta tum ti ta tum… such clever lyrics.
Roger: Melody first, my dear, and then the lyrics. Hmmm?”

wlander:

I sort of feel like Rachael and I are like Roger and Anita. I’m an enthusiastic musician and she calls me an idiot. But there’s affection there and we’re kind of cute.

Legit no idea who this guy is but if his relationship really does resemble Roger’s and Anita’s then it is worth the plug because I am JEALOUS AS HELL
