Full Version: Buttercup
Been watching the movie today, and noticed that the Princess was called Buttercup (if I understood it correctly, the spanish translator's pronunciation wasn't so nice), and I wondered if there were any other conections between the Free Spirit and that movie (or the book that gave place to it). Anyone knows?
Um...I think its just a coincedence.
More likely the allusion is to:

| For I'm called Little Buttercup -- dear Little Buttercup, Though I could never tell why, But still I'm called Buttercup -- poor little Buttercup, Sweet Little Buttercup I! I've snuff and tobaccy, and excellent jacky, I've scissors, and watches, and knives; I've ribbons and laces to set off the faces Of pretty young sweethearts and wives. I've treacle and toffee, I've tea and I've coffee, Soft tommy and succulent chops; I've chickens and conies, and pretty polonies, And excellent peppermint drops. Then buy of your Buttercup -- dear Little Buttercup; Sailors should never be shy; So, buy of your Buttercup -- poor Little Buttercup; Come, of your Buttercup buy! |
Though I don't know quite what they'd be getting at. Chalk it up to an inside joke (which of the powers that be is dating a gal called Buttercup....?)
And it's the name of a flower.
Or the Power Puff Girls! Buttercup and the Pacific Prosperity Group! 
As you wish...
