Kinda amusing that OuaT calls Snow’s prince Prince Charming….Prince Charming is actually Cinderella’s prince! Snow White’s prince in the Disney movie does not have a name!
Looked this up in Wikipedia and it’s true. Prince Charming is typically the generic, catchall name for most princes in fairy tales. And I got a kick out reading how the stock character of ‘Prince Charming’ is described:
“These characters are often handsome and romantic, a foil to the heroine, and are seldom deeply characterized, or even distinguishable from other such men who marry the heroine.
In many variants, they can be viewed as rewards for the heroine rather than characters.” 😆
And yes, I’ve seen Into the Woods. I found it both hilarious and endearing.
As far as character names, Disney named their EQ Grimhilde, though it’s never mentioned and the Huntsman’s name is Humbert which is Graham’s last name as seen in the belongings Emma was given.
Oh, and while Disney uses Maleficent as the name of the evil fairy in Sleeping Beauty, the ballet uses Carabosse.
