About The King

CHARACTER

The King is an important character from the film Cinderella and its two sequels. He was voiced by Luis Van Rooten in his debut appearance, and was later voiced by Andre Stojka in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.

PERSONALITY

The King is Prince Charming's father and is the ruler of an unnamed Kingdom. He has a passionate temper, but is a romantic who believes in love at first sight. He and his son were apparently close at one point, but grew apart as the prince grew older (as boys often do). As the king is getting old, he wants his son to be married because he wants to be able to see his grandchildren before he passes on to the next life. He provides comedy for the three films. It is likely that his Queen passed away before the events in Cinderella (1950 film), because she is never seen. It is revealed that he loved his wife very much, which probably led to his romantic side.

His temper was shown several times to be next-to-unreasonable in his mission to get his son to marry, and he threatened the Duke a few times to "encourage" him to follow his orders, alebit reacting explosively when he heard Cinderella escaped, as he accused the Duke of treason and tried to kill him with his sword, only becoming placated when he learned his son would marry the girl who fits the Glass Slipper.
