Charming

Three regal names become tangled when a festive wedding plan puts a single beloved prince at the center of three different princesses lives. Lenore, who goes by Lenny, longs for a future beyond expected duties, while Cinderella keeps her wit close and a practical mind ready for surprises. When all three women find themselves bound to the same cheerful yet elusive Prince Charming, conflict and camaraderie collide in a whirlwind of music, magic, and miscommunication. The kingdom buzzes with spins on familiar fairy tale notes as loyal friends, rival suitors, and sudden dangers push the story toward bold choices. No one can predict who truly deserves the crown or the right to decide who they are. Their rivalries threaten alliances and invite unlikely mentors to guide them toward own destinies. The film crafts a modern fairy tale vibe with humor that appeals to kids and adults.

Directed by Ross Venokur, Charming released in 2018 as an original animated feature and relies on a musical sensibility rather than adapting a single screenplay.

With a production budget of 20 million, Charming grossed about 8.75 million worldwide, reflecting a modest box office performance for an animated musical aimed at families. The numbers reflect a modest return relative to its 20 million budget.

Voiced by Demi Lovato as Lenore and Wilmer Valderrama as Prince Philippe Charming, with Sia as Half-Oracle, Charming benefited from pop star visibility that drew younger audiences. Its lively musical numbers and bright visuals fit a late 2010s push for family friendly, music driven animation.

Critics noted an energetic pace and a cheerful tone that balances romance with friendship. Themes center on claiming identity, questioning traditional roles, and forming alliances beyond a single prince, delivered through lively songs, witty banter, and colorful fantasy visuals. It invites families to talk about choice and self reliance.
