For example, when Belle and the Beast are cooking, it is said: I still remember the first time I saw Beauty and the Beast. I was 6, a weird little girl who had no friends and loved getting lost in the adventures found in my favorite books. Until that point, I had seen milquetoast, passive, stupid little princesses go completely mushy for nondescript, interchangeable princes. They had no autonomy, no agency in their own stories. Then this peculiar little peasant with unmanageable brown hair comes wandering into her provincial town with a book covering her face. I was enamored. For the first time, I didn't want to be the princess--I felt like I was. Belle spoke to me. Where other princesses would fawn over a prince in disguise, Belle told a magnificent beast of a man to control his temper, taught him to read, and was fascinated rather than frightened by his animate servants. She was strong, opinionated, and curious. Her reaction when she saw Beast's library matched mine--awe, mixed with a desire to read everything and not knowing where to start. Belle doesn't giggle coyly at the Beast, she smirks at him when he's covered in birds. She doesn't wait for him to ask her to dance--she grabs his hand and puts it on her own waist. She is foolish at times, but that's charming--she can't be perfect, which makes her more human than the cardboard cutouts of earlier Disney heroines. Now I'm 32 and a librarian--I have to think that Belle's early influence on my life as a reader is partially the reason I chose this vocation. Belle got her library--so did I. We learn about the kingdom before, at a time when magic was still present, as well as about the Beast's parents and their unkind rule over their people.

It's been five years since the infamous sea witch defeated the little mermaid... and took King Triton's life in the process. Ariel is now the voiceless queen of Atlantica, while Ursula runs Prince Eric's kingdom on land. But when Ariel discovers that her father might still be alive, she finds herself returning to a world – and a prince – she never imagined she would see again.

I mean, this version of beast was once an 11 year old boy when he was cursed. the ending was beautiful, although the beast didn't turn out to his normal form, it was still beautiful to watch them figure out how to find the real beauty inside of themselves not outside. Because, one thing of all the other reason I like this story, is about how people see the real beauty.She thought handling something dangerous and manly like a knife would be more interesting for him than trying to work with something fiddly like pastry dough." So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help.
