What’s Bean’s Age in ‘Disenchantment’? It’s Older Than You Might Think

Whenever it comes to the stories of princesses in fantasy-themed movies (Disney included) the age of the young female protagonists is usually a bit cringe-inducing. Ariel, Aurora, Mulan, and Merida, are only 16 years old. Princess Jasmine from Aladdin? 15. Snow White? 14.

Princess Tiabeanie is young, but she’s not a freshman in high school hanging out with a bunch of dwarves and trying to be murdered by some woman with a magical mirror young.

Bean’s 19-years-old in Disenchantment, but she’s seen a lot for someone who technically isn’t old enough to smoke or drink, and she does plenty of the latter in the show.

(Warning, this post contains some spoilers): Bean’s befriended an elf, killed an evil Hansel and Gretel with a candy axe, brought her mother back from the dead, made an alliance with a low-level demon by the name of Luci, convinced a friend to leave heaven, literally traveled to hell and back and much, much more.

Season 3 of Disenchantment dropped on Jan. 15, 2020, on Netflix and people are saying that the show’s just getting better. Season 1 received mixed reviews, with some people saying that it was still “finding its feet” as a comedy and it relied far too much on “one liners” and “physical comedy.” Other critics on Rotten Tomatoes also called Season 1 “underwhelming” and that it “feels a little sad.”
