Romeo and Juliet is everywhere

It may seem like a bit of a stretch but the way I see it most of the Disney princesses movies all connect to some the the main themes and motifs in Romeo and Juliet. Like in every good love story the two love stricken people have something or someone separating them. For Romeo and Juliet its their parents feud. For Pocahontas and John Smith its their cultural differences. For Ariel and Eric its the fact that she's a mermaid, and for Aladdin and Jasmin, Cinderella and her prince and Tiana and Naveen (in The Princess and The Frog) its social status. In all of these stories the the theme of forbidden love is prominent, and helps to form the entire plot. From what I've seen every romance is connected to Romeo and Juliet some how. That is why it has become such a classic, because it touches all of our lives somehow.
