Are there any prince movies for kids?

Anyone who knows about kids' movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot of the times male characters are just antagonists or at least stand in the way of the princess. I'd love to see a movie with a young prince who isn't evil or dumb (as a joke) that kids can relate to. I think it also be cool if there was singing or magic or anything mystical. My kid kind of likes Shrek but I was hoping to find one about a human prince. The protagonist in the movie The Lorax is a young boy on a good mission, and we like that movie too, but we're just looking for something bigger. I'm not looking for a movie that's primarily fighting, a little is okay, but I'd really prefer if the main focus was some honorable endeavor. Am I just missing the prince movies, or are they all about princesses instead?

The Prince of Egypt

A bit too biblical for my tastes, haha.

Ahem... "Prince Ali, fabulous he Ali Ababwa Genuflect, show some respect Down on one knee Now, try your best to stay calm Brush up your Sunday salaam Then come and meet his spectacular coterie Prince Ali, mighty is he Ali Ababwa Strong as ten regular men, definitely! He faced the galloping hordes A hundred bad guys with swords Who sent those goons to their lords Why, Prince Ali"

Lol, Aladin is technically a "Prince" movie. For that matter, The Lion King is as well. I'm sure I could think of more, but I'm tired and should have been subsumed by slumber hours ago.
