Context

This line is from the song "Some Day My Prince Will Come," sung by Snow White, from the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

Snow White is being her usual adorable self and telling the Seven Dwarfs a story around their fireplace. She starts the story as if she's talking about someone else, but she changes her tune, remembering the prince that she met at the castle before being run off by her evil stepmother. She's waiting for him to come whisk her away so they can live happily ever after.

Yes, the movie touts love at first sight because that's just how fairy tales used to be. You can always catch the song in the original movie, but we appreciate the sing-along version.

Where you've heard it

You've heard this one from your weepy friend (you know the one) after a tough breakup. Just bring some ice cream and nod along. Trust us.

Additional Notable References:

• Adriana Caselotti (the original voice behind Snow White) was under such a strict contract with Disney that she didn't get much voice-over work beyond this movie, which is a big bummer but also makes her voice all the more iconic.
• Barbra Streisand covered the tune, as did Miles Davis, Ashley Tisdale, Tiffany Thornton, and more.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Princes are kind of scarce nowadays, so maybe think twice before proudly proclaiming you're waiting for one.
