How To Trade Belle's Reboots In Beauty And The Beast

Peering into the treasure chest, a small gasp slipped out of Belle’s mouth as she began to see the truth about her friends. Laying on a crimson cloth was a book titled “Cinderella”. Delighted to find one of her favorite fairy tales, Belle sat under a tree and began to read. Her delight soon turned to disgust as she realized it was not the fairy tale she loved. Overcome at the gruesome, gory details of this version, Belle quickly slammed the

The Beauty and the Beast starts with a lively music in the castle which immediately set us into action. A castle full of expensive housewares and beautiful ladies wearing white gowns dancing to the music represent perfection. The ball is interrupted by a knock from an unexpected beggar who offered the insensitive prince a rose for shelter. The loud thunderclap and the way the chandelier lights were blown off by the wind intensified the scene. When he refuses, the beggar transformed into an enchantress and changed him into a hideous beast and his servants into housewares. The camera angle which showed the shadow figure of the prince turning to a beast was amazingly done. She casts a spell on the rose and it would only be broken if he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell. On the other hand, Belle starts the film in a small lively village which implies peacefulness and security. Belle is a simple, creative girl wanting to leave her monotonous village life to explore new things and go to an adventure. This came true when her horse Philippe went home anxiously without Maurice, her father. The way the horse neighed repeatedly implied that something is wrong. Belle, without hesitation, stormed off to the castle where her father was imprisoned and took his place as

Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont created “Beauty And The Beast”, or as pronounced in her book “La Belle Et La Bête” and it is basically invisible or unheard of here in America because it was created in France . Everyone ‘s only heard or seen “Beauty And The Beast” created by Disney, because of how recent it is and also because it’s a cartoon created by one of the best video production names in the world. Her version was published in 1756 in Magasin des enfants (Children's Collection), and then it was recreated and changed by Disney in 1991 and produced by Buena vista. The moral of “La Belle Et La Bête” is that one should not judge until you have truly gotten to know

In 1740, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot De Villeneuve wrote the first official version of the fairytale, “Beauty and the Beast”, which was translated from her original French title “La Belle et la Beta”. In reality, Villeneuve’s version is the original fairytale, although, many people believe that either Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont’s version would be the authentic one, and others that also believe that there had been similar versions prior to Villeneuve’s writing. “Beauty and the Beast” is a short fairytale about a prince who is given a curse that turned him into a Beast because of how he had rejected an old, unattractive fairy’s proposal to marry her. She then was so furious towards the rejection that she set that curse on him. Then, in the fairytale, there is a girl, Beauty, who happens to be the youngest daughter of a merchant who is set to give up his life after he had pulled a rose from the Beast’s garden to deliver to Beauty, but instead Beauty decided to take his place and she was set to live the rest of her life in the castle with the Beast. After some time, Beauty agrees to marry the Beast which then causes the curse to no longer exist, turning him back into prince he used to be. This fairytale has also been turned into a film a few times, the most famously know is the 1991 Disney animated version that was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, starring Paige O’Hara, as Belle (Beauty), and Robby Benson, as the Beast. In both the 1991 film by Trousdale and the original fairytale story by Villeneuve, there are a few differences from the meaning of the rose, to characters being added or taken away, to the actual spell that is cursed on the prince. Villeneuve uses personification, love, and feministic traits to demonstrate how Beauty chose to stay with the Beast on her own recognizance.

Belle had the choice to either escape back to her village and leave the Beast to die, or nurse him back to health and remain a prisoner. She decided on the

When Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was originally released in 1991, it became an instant classic. It was so well received, likely due to the stunning animation and catchy songs, that it became the first animated Golden Globe winner for Best Motion Picture for a Musical (IMDb). As an eight-year-old girl, I was completely enamored by the intellectual and independent character of Belle that wasn’t pining for her prince to come, the lovable cast of characters that included Angela Lansbury whom I loved from Murder She Wrote, and the songs that I must have sung a million times. To this day, it is still one of my all-time favorite movies. When I heard that Disney was making a live-action version of the film, I was skeptical that it could measure up

Remakes have become prevalent this past decade. Beauty and the Beast is a classic story told down generations and tell the story of both the emotional and social challenges women face everyday. Their stories are similar, but it’s the small differences that truly change how the audience feels. The new Beauty and the Best expands on motives as well as backstory missing from the original and adds a modern twist to reflect the new age of empowerment for women.

The story of Beauty and the Beast is a very well known one. There has been a variety of versions and re-tellings made over the years. The original story “La Belle et la Bête” was published in 1790, and a real-life adaptation is set to be released in 2017. As one can see, it is truly “A tale as old as time.” For me, Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favorite stories. As a child, the Disney animated movie was one of my favorites along with Belle being my favorite princess. Throughout the years, I have come across many different versions of the story that I have loved as well. One version that I came across a few years ago was “Beastly.” It was both exciting and nostalgic to experience my favorite story in a new setting with different

The Disney movie that has been chosen for my analysis is Beauty and the Beast, which is about the love story between a beast and a beautiful girl. The girl in the movie Belle is an ordinary and poor girl who becomes a princess when she falls in love with the beast in the film who actually is a prince in real, but a magic spell cast over him turns him into a beast. Belle who lives in a small town is shown to be a beautiful, skilled, brave and a very caring girl. Belle is basically a nerdy introvert girl who keeps to her herself and lives with her father. She loves reading as it is shown in the movie that when she goes to the castle of the beast she wishes that she had a library this big for her to sit in and read all day long.

We could see that the prologue narration that opens the film is narrated by a third person, a woman’s voice that belonged to the character Mrs. Potts. By having a third person narration in the opening scene, it helps us understand more about the beast’s background. We know that the cause is the beast’s act of unkindness, which register the effect. The effect seen here is his punishment living under the monstrous form of a beast and the fact that he has to earn true love to break the curse. Based on the viewers already knowing the story that the film will tell from the original classic, we expect that the Beast and Belle and their actions will intertwined with one another. Our expectations are characteristics of narrative form itself. We expect that Belle will be the one that breaks the spell so the beast can transform back to his original human form. Along with this, the viewers picks up cues that the two main protagonists will fall in love based on their interactions with one another. The narrative also cues us to draw parallels among the characters. We could identify the parallels among the servants in the beast’s castle to the talking antiques. An example is how the talking teapot is actually the servant Mrs. Potts and the head of the household staff turns out to be Cogsworth the mantel clock. These characteristics of narration form will give the audience the anticipation of whether or not the beast will find true love beyond his monstrous

Belle was kind to the Beast, and then she found her prince. It took courage to look into the eyes of someone that took away everything and see the good.

In todays's film industry Walt Disney motion pictures are recreating original animated Disney movies back to the live-action screen. Disney has had success with the box charts and profits of other live-action Disney movies such as Maleficent, Cinderella, and Alice in the Wonderland. There latest film is Disney's princess movie, Beauty and the Beast which topped box charts and bringing millions of money in the first week. With the success, I hope watching the film it keeps its charming plot and the story line stays close to the original animated movie. My expectations are going in with an open mind and hoping to like the remake.

From the age of four to twelve, I was beyond obsessed with Beauty and The Beast, (so much so that I wore my flouncy yellow Belle costume for Halloween six years in a row). Belle was unlike any princess I had ever seen. She was beautiful, no doubt, but she was also intelligent, selfless, and brave enough to fall in and fight for forbidden love. I actually used to tell all my relatives that my middle name was Belle. I think I saw myself in her- in the wave of her long brown hair, the light in her eyes when she walked into the library, and in her desire to be more than the damsel in distress. However, when I think back to the first time I watched the movie, I don’t remember any of her inspiring characteristics. What I do remember is being snuggled deep beneath my mom’s white comforter, decked out in my favorite little mermaid pajama set, and hearing my sister whisper “No! Can’t the villagers see that she isn’t a nasty crazy person like her daddy?!” And I remember furiously shaking my head in agreement because regardless of all of Belle’s intelligence and beauty, if she was “crazy” like her dad, she could never be a princess, let alone a princess I looked up to. I didn’t know it then, but my agreement was a desperate plea for my idol not to be mentally damaged goods.

A nice, beautiful, free spirited young girl named Bella is captured by the beast and sent to live in the castle. Though frightened, Bella finds a way to make friends with the castles staff members and learns to look past the monster that is the beast and see the kind-hearted prince that is hidden
