Who is King Hubert?
King Hubert is a jovial and well-meaning character in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty (1959). As the father of Prince Phillip, King Hubert plays a crucial role in the story’s royal politics and comedic elements. His character is warm-hearted and slightly bumbling, embodying the stereotypical “cheerful king” trope of fairy tales.
King Hubert’s primary role in the film is to establish the alliance between the kingdoms through the arranged betrothal of his son, Prince Phillip, to Princess Aurora. He shares lively and often humorous interactions with King Stefan, Aurora’s father, especially in scenes that highlight their shared anticipation of the royal union. King Hubert’s dynamic with Phillip also serves as a lens into the prince’s desire for love over duty, creating a generational contrast in values.
The character is brought to life by the talented voice actor Bill Thompson, known for his work in various classic Disney films, including roles like Mr. Smee in Peter Pan and the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
