The popular boy just showing up to the bait shop at 7 am buying worms and heading immediately to school is one of the most subtlety hilarious plot oversights I’ve seen in awhile

I have always thought it was hysterical that the popular girl was so obsessed with becoming homecoming queen that she literally decided to hand Rosie over to the murderous dictator who took over her country. Like dang, that's actually legit evil and the movie doesn't really explore that.

Funny how the hispanic main character princess has no accent, but the hispanic villain general has one...

I’m surprised nobody, including Danny, is confused over why she was getting crowned Queen when both parents were still alive

Can we also talk about how her actual name was Rosalinda and the disguise name they went with was Rosey

I find it funny how the logic is to save a princess from a murderous man is to send her to some high school in America of all places😭

As a latina, "arroz con pollo" is like the LEAST FANCIEST MEAL anyone can ever prepare, lol. It's yummy, but not fancy at all

I always thought it was fucked up they sent a south Asian princess (who’s probably never experienced below zero temperatures) to an Arctic wasteland, while Rosie is just sent to an American high school because she demanded it.

I feel like Danny isn’t really familiar with common Louisiana culture like going to school with a freshly purchased can of worms or having your homecoming dress delivered by your bus driver

As someone who grew up in Louisiana, I can assure you that every 12 year old girl here loved this movie. We found it weird that it was so obviously not filmed here, but the lack of accent and such didn’t bother us. It was just nice to see Louisiana people on tv living normally and not as toothless hicks.

“You’re going to camp 😄 work 😐” killed me 😭😭😭

Its so funny how Danny almost always includes the iconic “squishy bones”

One thing about this movie that has stuck with me my whole life, is when the popular girl pours yogurt all over Rosie or something and Carter says 'they're making a fool out of you' and Rosie stands up, shoulders back and says 'I'm no fool. and she cannot make something out of me that I am not' and walks away with dignity. Iconic moment time to be sure.

as a princess greg i can confirm i'm being protected by danny thank you danny

"The Princess is absolutely cracked, m'lord" had me in tears

The scene where Rosie cooks for them is made infinitely funnier by the fact that she just made chicken and rice. Carter is like "That's too fancy" and it's literally chicken and rice. They just used the Spanish translation to make it sound like some intricate cultural dish

I’m guessing that the answer to why there are so many princesses in the princess protection program is that they don’t just help princesses, but all noble women ( duchesses , ladies, countesses,queens, empresses ,viscountesses, baronesses,marchionesses).

I love how Danny always goes into great detail for the first 2 thirds of the movie but then quickly glosses over the conclusion

Imagine being friend zoned by your own dad.

I like how the more clearly Hispanic girl was cast as the American tomboy, while the nonbinary mixed-race Demi was cast as the Vaguely-Spanish princess.

Fun fact: the princess was good at bowling because it reminded her of her time in her homeland, mainly rolling the decapitated heads of peasants who dared to question the royal rule into their deattached limbs through her palace gate

The way Danny’s sticking with the “IM RADIO REBEL” title just with different Disney channel movies movies is commitment and I love him

I love how they send her to literally the most dangerous state to live in when the whole movie is about protecting her💀

as a louisianan i will say this is a fairly accurate representation of life in southern louisiana. the accents aren't noticeable, because they aren't there, though most born louisianans DO have at least a slight tang, it's not unreasonable for millenials/gen z who live in relatively big cities to have almost unnoticeable accents. so yeah! movie still got a lot of flaws tho. feels great to be represented, albeit weirdly

i know it’s a disney channel movie with a budget of like $10 and it’s not that serious, but it’s so funny that the “transformation” demi’s character undergoes as she enters basically the most extreme form of witness protection is like…they curl her hair a little bit 😭

As a Nigerian Prince trying to give away my fortune to women via email, can confirm that Danny is princess protection program. Thank you for all you do

i like how the popular girl thinks that if rosie dies, she’ll be homecoming queen as if they wouldn’t make rosie homecoming queen by default because she was literally just assassinated.

The Princess Protection Program is a half-assed version of the Witness Protection Program even though it's an international organization protecting royalty instead of a federal organization protecting average people and criminals. They just gave her a nickname and moved her out of the country even though her name and face is in international news, even some random mean girl at her school figured it out.

He is such a princess protection program

I like how Danny is still so proud of that "squishy bones" joke that he still references it 2 years later.

Did the bullies ever get their comeuppance? Because after that, they should not be walking away without handcuffs. A lot of Disney bullies do awful things, but this is a whole new level. Essentially committing a war crime by meddling with government orders and assisting a dictator is kidnapping a Princess of an ally nation to then be forced into a slave labor camp until death… all to win Homecoming Queen. This is a whole new level of low and I am surprised that the UN did not get into a heated argument on whether to arrest them for life, strip them of their citizenship or surrender them to be punished by the country that they have now made a sworn enemy of. This is just ludicrous. 😯

"Excuse me, I'm going to go order a hit on this asshole" got me dying

“Imagine getting bullied so hard you got assassinated” had me crying

The dad looking at his daughter in her homecoming dress and saying he can’t call her pal anymore is one of the most bizarrely unsettling things I’ve ever heard 😅

16:41 “the princess is absolutely cracked m’lord,” 😭

I love how the squishy bones joke is still here after so long. Usually UKpostsrs will just forget or never repeat a joke again but Danny actually sticks with them. It feels like we have our own inside jokes.

As someone from rural Louisiana, homecoming actually is a big deal to teenage girls. And foreign undercover princesses can expect to be exposed if it secures the homecoming queen position of another candidate. Those are just the rules here

i just want to say i genuinely love danny squeezing "bones getting squishy" into all of these videos

Maybe the real princess protection program were the friends we made along the way

The “IM RADIO REBEL” and squishy bones commitment is amazing lol

danny has been radio rebel, lemonade mouth, camp rock and now he is princess protection program, hes evolved so much over the past couple years

i always loved how demi lovato's interpretation of "how to speak like a foreign princess" was just "don't use any contractions"

as someone who lives in louisiana, I can confirm it is only bait shops and alligators here. in fact, I am commenting this from the back of my pet alligator, on my way to a bait shop

I'm so glad Danny has reviewed Princess Protection Program and Lemonade Mouth, two movies that I watched about a hundred million times as a kid

i love that the writers were like “ooh, rural louisiana! that’ll be a totally different place for this princess!” but then they did nothing with it other than set it in a bait shop with worms. like bro they’re in the SWAMP, we got gators and nutria rats out here!! the mosquitoes alone would’ve killed her! but they were just like “worms? worms are good enough. let’s cover demi in worms”

I think it would have been fun if, when the general showed up to the high school homecoming dance, he ended up being crowned homecoming king/queen, helping him realize that it is more fulfilling to be loved than to be feared

a group of mean popular girls finding out that the new girl at the school whos getting all the attention is secretly in the witness protection program and trying to get her exposed to the criminals hunting her to eliminate her as a rival for homecoming queen sounds like a funny plotline in a scream queens type black comedy show

13:15 Im from a Spanish speaking country where arroz con pollo is actually a traditional food BUT it is the most homemade and not fancy thing EVER THEY REALLY CHOOSED THE LESS FANFY FOOD FOR THR PRINCESS TO COOK

Nearly choked on my lunch with how much "You're going to Camp [Work]!" caught me off guard LMAOOO

Crying at her dish being called "Chicken and rice A la flower" and dramatically revealing what seems like plain brown rice with ketchup

One thing I wonder about this movie is, where the fuc are the princes? What happens to them? Do they just say "welp, you're on your own" and leaves them? Is there a prince protection program??

“tHe pRinCeSs iS abSoLutELy crAcKeD mY lOrD” -danny gonzalez

This movie was actually filmed in Puerto Rico! The practice coronation scene was done in a historic building called Casa España and the school scenes are in a school called Colegió San Ignacio. It was a really big deal back in the day that these Disney Channel stars where here and Disney was doing a huge casting call for extras. I and a couple of my friends auditioned and some of my friends are actually in the movie. What a time to be a teen 😅!

Danny and Drew literally both had drastic changes on their hair, One got shaved, and one was dyed blue. Now both of their hair is back to normal and cut short. I knew you guys were the same person!

"As soon as we find a legal way to remove him" must be the most American thing I have ever heard

Princess: "I've loved living here in Louisiana." Danny: "K, now I KNOW the writers have never been to Louisiana." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ONE PET PEEVE about this movie that I have is that- as you mentioned -the movie is set in Louisiana, and then Rosie's classmates act BLOWN AWAY that she can speak French and Spanish. Like...? It's Louisiana.

Thank you for being the princess protection program we all needed.

13:03 this could’ve been a perfect transition into a Hello Fresh sponsorship

13:27 worst thing is its not even fancy, its like chicken with rice

As a princess under the protection of the Princess Protection Program I can confirm that they have upgraded their system tremendously. We are now properly prepared before being sent off to Antarctica or Louisiana instead of getting just a two minute advance notice. Thank You.

Danny's anti-monarchy tangent was unexpected but hilarious

10:53 when someone walks in on you while you’re disassociating

I grew up in Louisiana and I cackled at "I've loved living here in Louisiana." " Now, I know the writers have never been to Louisiana."

Danny being so vocally anti monarch made my day 10x better

Gotta love how the princess has a super feminine name and the tomboy has a typically male name.

"you're going to camp work" i can't breathe

As someone from Louisiana it was always funny to see mountains in the background of the movie.

also can we talk about how WILD of a concept it is for ALL the princesses that r in danger to be gathered in the same building like that????? all it takes is 1 bad guy finding that base or wtv and then boom.. no more princesses!

Fun fact, I actually met the screenwriter of princess protection program in class and he told us he came up with the entire story DURING the pitch meeting. COMPLETELY OFF THE CUFF.

14:10 i figured it out, they live on the glorious nation of sealand !

You can see at 9:28 in this video the showcasing of Louisiana's mountainous region, where all the best bayous and fishing can be found.

the fact that danny still manages to sprinkle in a "my bones are getting squishy" reference in his videos cracks me up

Danny's room changed just like fast food architecture from cheerful child to depressed adult. I can relate.

As a worm I can confirm all the popular high-school guys buy us before class.

I love how the "bones getting squishy" reference is still relevant after years

Why would they send her to any public event, let alone school? I don't think these people know how safe houses work.

Fun fact: parts of this movie were filmed in Puerto Rico, including the scene where she is escaping with Major Mason. So that wasn't LA, but actually it was Puerto Rico and it was a VERY big deal for me as a kid living on the island because I LOVED disney. Love your videos Danny, was hoping you'd do this movie!

9:52- Princess’s first introduction to communist system (colorized, 2009)

“but yes pls let’s make an entire movie about protecting the bloodline of the throne.” *frozen has left the chat*

Can’t lie this was one of my favorite DCOMs as a kid. Political intrigue? Makeovers? Female friendship? Iconic

Best part of the story set up is that they bring the most important princesses in the entire world together in one headquarter building. Like imagine someone destroyed the headquarters and single handedly ended like 27384 bloodlines 💀

mm, rice with chicken! peak fanciness

2:30 I actually had a handshake with my dad. It was when I had gotten to a point where I was finally like done with hugs, so we came up with a handshake to do instead. We called it a "teenage hug" lol

The “you’re going to camp WORK” joke really did me in. Truly 9:06 had me choking on pudding, you’ve outdone yourself

Props to Popular Girl Bully™ for having her priorities straight. Could have somehow weaselled her way into a powerful position in Costa Luna or Costa Estrella or at least wealth, but she kept to being prom queen. Good for her! Also, Danny, that is a nice sweater, and you look good in it

Every Danny Gonzalez thumbnail is him just smiling awkwardly it just makes my day lol

i think the popular boy is actually friends with the worms and keep taking worms from the bait shop to release at school. they’re his worm friends. he’s the worm king

I love how the lead female protagonist always has to do some typically "unfeminine" or "yucky" or "embarrassing" job

Funnily enough, in Wizards of Waverly Place, Serena Gomez character also gets covered in chocolate and even pours it on the ground to use it as a little water slide. So maybe being covered in liquid chocolate is the Disney equivalent to Dan Schneider shows always having feet shots

I can’t wait for Princess protection program part 2 DICTATOR PROTECTION PROGRAM

there are like 20 princesses in the netherlands alone, there must be hundreds world wide

As a Princess in the Princess Protection Program, I can confirm that the quality of life has been tremendously improved for us upcoming Queens from Antarctica. They're giving us now 3 crumbs of bread every 2 hours and a bubble gum to exercise our facial muscles so we don't freeze to death. Thank you, Danny!

Everytime I rewatch this movie I always think about how they made Demi lovato play a Spanish princess. When Selena Gomez literally has Spanish and Latin heritage.

Funny that Danny brings up the dad who always plays the friend, I grew up with my father saying word for word "I want you to see me as a friend" and sure as a kid I thought it was cool but moment I turned 18 he stopped feeding and providing for me and now that I'm 20 he's only talked to me twice in 3 months, once because my grandma wanted a photo with the family and the other time I was being loud at night, soooo I can tell ya for personal experience the bond of the friend dad is pretty good

Why do the girls at 18:25 sound like 3 year olds first learning to talk

12:40 “I’m a worm now. I was a princess and now I’m a worm. They’ll never find me here.” I laughed so hard

Can we all agree that Danny's wardrobe is always just so pleasant?

11:11 So did she get registered for classes or? I mean, you have many teachers in high school. How does Rosie know where to go for 1st period, 2nd, etc. Not like elementary school where you have just 1 teacher

The princess is absolutely cracked my lord was really good
