I can't speak for any other Disney couples, but I can definitely tell you that at the very least, Ariel and Eric's chemistry was definitely golden (not to mention, Ariel at least actually DID like Eric for qualities besides his physical appearance, even if the latter is what she explicitly stated, since I'm doubtful she didn't pay attention to the whole scene above when Eric didn't know she was nearby.). Personally, if any couples actually LACKED chemistry, it was probably Beast and Belle, since let's face it, they rushed it haphazardly, and I'm not exactly one who goes for people gradually falling in love with each other.

I do agree with you on how romance in something that isn't a romantic work can be a chore, though. I know Metal Gear Solid 2's complaints was the love angle between Rose and Raiden, and to a lesser extent between Vamp and Fortune, and the Prequel Trilogy for Star Wars was rather notorious for the rather bad romance subplot for Anakin and Padme (and quite frankly, they should have made them roughly the same age, since the way it was done, Padme came across as a cougar).
