Sorry it took me so long to finish this countdown. I just got lazy I guess haha. I did this countdown because while there have been multiple "Best Kiss" countdowns I have never seen the "Almost Kisses" get much appreciation. I think they are cute and suspenseful, so I thought I would give them the spotlight for once. Here are the results, compiled for your enjoyment. :)
9. Tiana and Naveen's 1st Almost Kiss
It's no surprise this চুম্বন left first. It's the only one here that isn't romantic in the slightest, since Tiana doesn't even want to চুম্বন him and she's only doing it to get her restaurant. While it might have some humor value, that's not enough to সরানো it from the bottom spot.
"They end up স্নেহ চুম্বন like a মিনিট later, so I don't think it really counts." ~Aang_Lite
"well,it´s a frog" ~lililc
"Tia was disgusted to চুম্বন the frog! XD" ~3xZ
"Well....... to put it bluntly.... it's disgusting." ~Mongoose09
"Tia is literally disgusted to চুম্বন him!" ~anukriti2409
"This scene actually was kinda funny as Tiana is very disgusted." ~Sparklefairy375
"Not that romantic at all XD" ~tiffany88
8. Tiana and Naveen's 2nd Almost Kiss
To be honest I was really sad this চুম্বন left so soon. Yeah, they may be frogs when it happens, but it occurs at a moment of growth for both characters. Naveen has just minced some vegetables for the first time in his life, প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে him that work can be rewarding, and Tiana has just danced for the first time in her life, প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে her that letting loose and having fun isn't a bad thing. It is a moment when they realize that they can learn from one another as well as the moment where they both realize their feelings for one another. It's such a beautiful scene, and has a gorgeous song to go along with it. It is probably one of my পছন্দ almost kisses on this list.
"They're both frogs, erm. I just enjoy human kisses more, usually." ~wavesurf
"Eh. Do not really see the heat, build up, অথবা the tension. It is alright, but all of the others are better." ~Anii147
7. Ariel and Eric's 1st Almost Kiss
This চুম্বন is a little awkward, since Ariel is trying to force it on Eric. It's definitely not the best of the bunch, but at least it happens in a nice setting. The নৌকা on a lake is beautiful.
"Eric´s face kind of ruins the momment" ~lililc
"Awkward and forgettable." ~ajotma
"awkward and uncomfortable for Eric, and it wasn't even feelings that led to this kiss" ~anukriti2409
"He turns away. Awkward." ~NCISLuverjk93
"Just as I've been doing since round 1, still picking this: Not classy অথবা romantic at all and it made Eric really uncomfortable. It was somewhat close to harassment on her part at that point in the film. She was trying to just force it. At least Tiana and Naveen talked about theirs first and agreed to do it. So shocked that anything else was picked before this when this was the only চুম্বন that was completely forced and সামগ্রিক just wrong in every way." ~laylastepford
6. Pocahontas and John's Almost Kiss
I wasn't sure if I should include this one in the countdown since it can be argued that they weren't actually going to kiss. I looked at the screencaps from the scene and আপনি can tell that they do lean in to each other slightly before Pocahontas looks away, so I decided I should include it especially considering the romantic tension in the rest of their body language. This is not the best almost kiss, but it isn't the worst either.
"This isn't a kiss. She's telling him she has to leave." ~wavesurf
"Not all kisses are romantic........ Some are just lustful, অথবা based off infatuation, which isn't necessarily bad. I am still confused as to if they were going to চুম্বন অথবা not. It almost seems like John Smith is panting, and Pocahontas is distraught. It is not bad, but lacks compared to the others." ~Anii147
"I prefer these two as a couple but the other moment is better because স্নেহ চুম্বন him is her ultimate goal which we're supposed to be rooting for. There's just আরো anticipation." ~Mongoose09
5. TIE! Aurora and Phillip's Almost Kiss; Ariel and Eric's 2nd Almost Kiss
Aurora and Phillip's Almost Kiss
I'd been voting for this one for a while so I was happy to see it leave. It was দ্বারা far the almost চুম্বন that I was most iffy about including in the countdown. Because the viewer is so far away from the two of them it is very difficult to tell if they actually meant to চুম্বন অথবা not. It's possible that wasn't even their intention and it's just the ending of the dance, so it's no where near as suspenseful as the others.
"wtf still here?" ~pretty_angel92
"We're so far away from Phillip and Aurora... that we don't see any action going on from this distance! This is just the trailing off of a dance... At least, in TLM's সেকেন্ড kiss, there was some suspense built-in: the catchy song setting the mood, the sea creatures and the lightening bugs making things cozy and romantic, and I was really rooting for Eric and Ariel. It was clear as দিন to me that Eric already liked Ariel, even though she had ব্যক্ত zero words to him. আপনি saw how broadly he grinned while he was trying to guess her name... Eric actually laughed at the face Ariel made when he called her Diana. Eric definitely was flirting with Ariel. I don't think there was any "forcing" going on, on Ariel's part at all." ~wavesurf
"Not my favorite" ~kristenfan10109
Ariel and Eric's 2nd Almost Kiss
I honestly thought this one was going to make it at least to the শীর্ষ 3 since it is so well known and iconic. It goes with one of the catchiest ডিজনি songs ever written, "Kiss the Girl," and is a beautifully animated scene. It always made me so mad when I was little that Ursula foiled them. I always wanted Eric to চুম্বন her anyways even though they were dripping wet after climbing out of the lagoon!
"uncomfortable for Eric and totally forced upon." ~anukriti2409
"Not nearly as romantic অথবা organic as every other চুম্বন on this list." ~laylastepford
"It's too dark" ~Beastlysoul25
4. Ariel and Eric's 3rd Almost Kiss
I'm not a huge অনুরাগী of this almost চুম্বন because I feel like it gets হারিয়ে গেছে amongst the chaos of the wedding that precedes it and the final battle that occurs immediately afterwards. It's just a little forgettable to me. I actually almost forgot to include it in the countdown!
"too hurried and least romantic to me. the build up was for emergency rather than feelings" ~anukriti2409
"I really don't like the way she drops in his arms when she's "out of time"." ~NCISLuverjk93
3. সিন্ড্রেলা and Charming's Almost Kiss
This is such a cute almost kiss, I'm glad it made it to the শীর্ষ 3. I was actually thinking about this one when I got the idea to do the countdown. It's a beautiful scene and would have been a perfect moment for a kiss, if it hadn't been for that darn clock!
"It's okay.." ~Mongoose09
"We see both জুঁই and আলাদীন and Flynn and Rapunzel have developed a relationship before they চুম্বন আরো than we see সিন্ড্রেলা and Charming." ~dancing_dear
"No chemistry." ~ace2000
2. Rapunzel and Eugene's Almost Kiss
I was a little sad (and a little surprised) that this almost চুম্বন didn't win. It is such a well known scene and the suspense is palpable! It makes me sooo mad when Eugene doesn't চুম্বন her. The only other almost চুম্বন that has an impact on me like that is Ariel and Eric's 2nd almost kiss. (Maybe I just have a thing for kisses in boats?) Regardless, this scene is perfect, and the চুম্বন would have been perfect had it actually happened.
"The scene was so romantic and sweet <3 started with hanging out together and later see the lantern and almost kiss. জুঁই and Aladdin's scene was just okay." ~Sparklefairy375
"Aladdin didn't even know জুঁই was a princess at this point. Rapunzel and Flynn have been on a journey together and really understand each other. AND they are on a নৌকা surrounded দ্বারা floating lanterns! It is so romantic!" ~dancing_dear
"They both know each other better and realize how important the other is to them." ~ace2000
1. জুঁই and Aladdin's Almost Kiss
This is my পছন্দ moment between জুঁই and Aladdin. I feel like this is the only time when their relationship really feels natural and organic, and not forced through a sieve of lies that আলাদীন is telling. Even at the end of the movie Aladdin's actions leave a bad taste in my mouth, but here he hasn't made any bad choices yet and so the moment is so sweet. It definitely deserves to win, even if it isn't my personal পছন্দ almost kiss.
"I always loved this scene, so spontaneous and sweet. আপনি clearly can see the chemistry between them <33 the RapunzelxFlynn scene is nice(mostly because of the floating lanterns) but forced." ~tiffany88
"<333" ~hirohamada
"Well, there is better chemistry, and they seem a lot আরো organic than Flynn and Rapunzel. I feel like the chemistry was built up in this one scene better than Rapunzel and Flynn's entire relationship. They look at one another more, and there is a neediness to them." ~Anii147
"JAS AND ALADDIN!!!" ~coolsinger198
"Um, these are runner's up almost kisses in my view. The most romantic almost চুম্বন for me is Eric and Ariel's third almost kiss. The rest of these almost kisses are underwhelming to me. But Jas and Al have আরো eye and facial chemistry." ~wavesurf
