I can’t begin to count how many times we have watched The Princess Diaries. Long before the girls were old enough to watch the first Princess Diaries, released by Disney 10 years ago, I was watching it by myself. Wholesome family movies like The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement are favorites in our home.
Last month Disney released The Princess Diaries: 10th Anniversary Edition + The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in a 2-Movie Collection Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack! Hollywood royals Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway deliver comedic and enchanting performances as Queen Clarisse Rendaldi and Princess Mia. Bonus material includes a ‘Find Your Inner Princess’ personality quiz & deleted scenes introduced by director Gary Marshall!
The Princess Diaries
Mia Thermopolis is the average teenager – sweet, a little geeky and pretty much invisible to everyone with the exception of her mother, best friend Lilly and Lilly’s older brother Michael. Making it through high school without throwing up is a challenge in itself for Mia, so it doesn’t come as welcome news when her estranged grandmother shows up out of the blue and calmly informs her that she is in fact the heir to the throne of a European country called Genovia. Suddenly Mia’s life is thrown into complete overload. She’s being taught about scarves, waves and pears in order to become a perfect princess, she gets a makeover and a tough looking yet sweet bodyguard/limo driver called Joe. Things get out of hand when the media gets a hold of the story and suddenly Mia is thrust into the spotlight in both thenewspapers and in school. On top of all that Mia has a choice to make. She must decide by Genovia’s Independence Day Ball whether she longs to relinquish her claim on the throne or to become the princess and heir to the throne and father and grandmother want her to be.
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
Starring the irresistible Anne Hathaway and Academy Award winner Julie Andrews (Best Actress, Mary Poppins), this modern-day fairy tale picks up right where The PrincessDiaries left off! As future queen of Genovia, Princess Mia (Hathaway) has everything a girl could want – except the magical romance she’s always dreamed of. But soon, Mia’s shocked to discover that she needs to get married right now or her family will lose the crown! Comic complications rule the day in this delightful family story about finding out who you really are and discovering what it takes to make your dreams come true!
