10 Most Cringeworthy Onscreen Kisses In The History Of Movies
4. Jafar And Princess Jasmine - Aladdin
Yep, even cartoons can be guilty of this.
Aladdin, for the ten people in existence who are unaware, is an animated film. "How," you might ask, "is it possible for an animated film to even produce an unintentionally cringeworthy kiss?" And that's a fair question.
Unfortunately, it's as easy as having your damsel in distress come *this* close to being slapped around her captor/abuser, thus forcing her to basically c*cktease her way out of a hairy - and all too real - situation.
When Princess Jasmine pulls uber-villain Jafar into her body for a big, lustful-looking bout of tonsil hockey, it's both unexpected and a little sickening.
Not because she's kissing the bad guy in front of her one true love - which has to be a pretty significant bummer for him - but because she's essentially forced to use sex as a weapon, which was a definite first in the Disney canon.
Jafar's power move of calling her a "pussycat" is also incredibly creepy. The whole thing was uncomfortable to behold even back then, and it certainly hasn't aged any better.
