Prince Charming is a 2001 made-for-television film. It is a comical fairy tale, relating the story of a Prince who is cursed, his wizard squire, and the present-day women who lift the curse. The movie stars Martin Short as a wizard squire trying to keep his prince from harm, with Christina Applegate as the woman who wins the prince's love and Bernadette Peters as an actress who inadvertently lifts a 500-year curse. On his wedding day, Prince John commits a romantic indiscretion and is "frogged". He is cursed by turning him into a frog for eternity unless a woman kisses him and marries him.... For good measure, his squire Rodney is also frogged. Moving forward 500 years, the Prince and Rodney, in the form of frogs, find themselves in New York's Central Park, where the Prince sees Kate driving her horse-drawn carriage and falls in love with her. However, the actress Margo impetuously picks up the Prince-frog and kisses him, breaking the curse until the next full moon, and turning the Prince and Rodney into their true human selves . Prince John and Rodney begin their search for the woman who kissed John, with the help of Kate.
