The Acorn Princess - Animated Short from Sheridan College
blairlex for The Flower Prince
The Flower Prince, or simply “Flower,” is a close and loyal friend of Cornelia. Dashing, nimble, and somewhat smug, Flower loves being the center of attention. At his core, though, he has a kind heart. In the beginning, Flower tries to encourage Cornelia to confess her romantic feelings to the guard captain. When Beetle crashes the wedding, Flower fearlessly challenges him to a duel. Quick on his feet and skilled with his sabre, Flower turns a perilous situation into an entertaining spectacle. Later, it’s revealed that it was all an elaborate ruse: Cornelia, Flower, and Beetle had staged the “kidnapping” so that they could all escape from the wedding! Beetle, as it turns out, is the Flower Prince’s big and loveable boyfriend. Flower speaks with a smooth, confident, princely voice.
(Reassuring and supportive, to Cornelia) "Oh Cornelia. You're a Princess! Sweep her off her feet!
(Confidently, to the guards, before turning to Beetle) "Get back! I'll handle this."
(Holding his cape like a bullfighting cloth, baiting Beetle) "Ha-ha! Toro, toro!"
