[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charming_poster.jpg]] ''Charming'' is the story of Prince Phillipe, heir to one of the Four Kingdom, who was supposed to be given a blessing of charm at his birth. Unfortunately, the blessing was hijacked by [[WomanScorned his father's former lover]] who wanted revenge on him and the concept of love itself. The blessing turned curse means that any woman who looks into Phillipe's eyes will fall madly in love with him, whether he likes it or not. And he most certainly does not.

* AdaptationalJobChange: Cinderella is a princess from birth, while in the fairy tale she married into royalty.

* AvertedTrope: Unlike most modern examples of PrinceCharming, wherein the character is a [[PrinceCharmless douche]], Phillipe is actually a really good guy who's stuck with a [[BlessedWithSuck blessing]] he doesn't want and never takes advantage of.

* DisneyAcidSequence: While marinating in the cooking pot, the Half-Oracle gives vague (and half-true) premonitions to Lenore about her love-life (or lack their of), complete with a trippy song sequence to the song "Balladino" sung by the Half Oracle (played by Music/{{Sia}}).
* GoldDigger: The princesses, as stated in their song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs8e7xDW9t0 Trophy Boy]].

* ImpossibleThief: Lenore, who in two of her first three scenes robs both a royal treasure transport and strips [[Literature/SnowWhite Snow White]], {{Cinderella}} and [[Literature/SleepingBeauty Sleeping Beauty]] of all their valuables without them noticing.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Also Lenore who demonstrates she can, as per usual for the trope, hit anything she aims at, fire multiple arrows at once, and

** Ironically [[spoiler: happens to Phillipe upon first seeing Lenore]] right before she knees him in the crotch.

* {{Expy}}: Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty are clearly based off of their Creator/{{Disney}} counterparts design-wise.

* AvertedTrope: Unlike most modern examples of PrinceCharming, wherein the character is a douche, Phillipe is actually a really good guy who's stuck with a [[BlessedWithSuck blessing]] he doesn't want and never takes advantage of.

* PinkIsFeminine: Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are dressed in pink.

-->'''Phillipe:''' At the end of the day if it's just you and your treasure you are alone.

* WomanScorned: Nemeny Neverwish was once King Charming’s most trusted knight and friend. But when he chose another woman over her, she became consumed with jealousy and
sought to destroy all romantic love, starting by cursing her former love’s newborn son to unintentionally seduce every woman he met, something that gets him hunted down by all the rejected men.

* BeyondTheImpossible: When Phillipe and Lenore first meet the cannibals, Lenore says they're so dangerous nobody met them and lived to tell the tale, prompting Phillipe to ask how she knows about them. She admits it doesn't make sense.

* GoldDigger: The princesses, as stated in their [[EarWorm extremely catchy song]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs8e7xDW9t0 Trophy Boy]].

* BlondeBrunetteAndRedhead: Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty respectively.

* BlessedWithSuck: The fully acknowledged reality of being PrinceCharming. Being seen as so hansom and lovely by every woman alive means that everyone else suffers and Phillipe doesn't even have any concept of what real romantic love is.

* KleptomaniacHero: Lenore. She can't so much as be in the same room as anything gold and shiny without trying to steal it.

* NiceGuy: Phillipe. He never wanted any of the women who chase him to be stuck in the state they're in. He just wanted every girl to feel like a princess.

WesternAnimation/{{Charming}} is the story of Prince Phillipe, heir to one of the Four Kingdom, who was supposed to be given a blessing of charm at his birth.

Que the expected quest and race against the clock to find the meaning of love before Phillipe's 21st birthday when the curse will be made permanent.

** Phillipe: "At the end of the day if it's just you and your treasure you are alone."

* WiseFool: Prince Phillipe fits the bill nicely. He's not very bright or capable in a fight, but he can recognize the difference between love and false love easily, something people a whole lot older and supposedly more knowledgeable than him struggle with.
