To commemorate its 10th anniversary, Disney has released a special movie collection featuring The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, for the first time ever on Blu-ray!
I was happy to have received a copy to review because I love sharing the films I enjoy(ed) with my kiddos (we enjoy watching movies at our house). Come to think of it, my daughter was almost as happy as I was when I opened up the package (I realize it should be the other way around but it is what it is…LOL). So, we watched both movies the same day we got them.
My hubby happened to get home earlier than normal that day and wanted to unwind by watching TV with us but he wasn’t to thrilled that we were taking over the TV with both princess movies, at least initially. Did you pick up on the word “initially”?…He ended up really getting into it (we even had to Pause it when he had to go take care of something) and of course being the ever encouraging wife that I am (not), I gave him a hard time about not wanting to see it at first. So there you go…The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement are both movies that everyone in your family can enjoy (even us adults).
Maybe one day there will be a The Princess Diaries 3: Royal Wedding and if there is, I hope it still keeps the original characters.

The Princess Diaries Film Synopsis:
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 the newspapers 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 Film Synopsis:
Starring the irresistible Anne Hathaway and Academy Award winner Julie Andrews, this modern-day fairy tale picks up right where The Princess Diaries left off! As future queen of Genovia, Princess Mia 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!
