Well I will say, while I loved Beauty & the Beast as a kid, later on I did begin to think Belle was being a little too snobby, whinging about those poor, dumb "provincial" people who aren't on her level, lol. I mean, "Excuse us poor, simple people for living, Belle!"
Well it worked for Pee Wee Herman, lol.How's this for original: for many years I had a large pink snake named Snakey, a fat green frog named Froggy, and a toe-sock fish my mom made for me named Fishy.
Yeah...I've learned how to name characters better since then...
Beauty and the Beast has become one of my top ten favorite movies of all time, and while I thought Belle was a bit on the snobby side, I was able to overlook it, and pay more attention to the universal theme of love and acceptance.Well I will say, while I loved Beauty & the Beast as a kid, later on I did begin to think Belle was being a little too snobby, whinging about those poor, dumb "provincial" people who aren't on her level, lol.

Don't get me wrong, I still think the movie's a master piece, but obviously the "Girl Who Wants More" plot got old quickly, lol.
For sure, overall I'm a big fan of the Disney films, especially how they span over so many years, all the way back to 1937 with Snow White. The music's consistently incredible, the animation very innovative and heartfelt. As I say, they did go a bit overboard with the "Girl Wants More" cliche in the 1990's but that kind of thing happens to every franchise.
I couldn't have said it any better. Yes, I agree they went overboard with the Princess that wanted more thing in the 90's, but that was their own fault... especially when they made that Yecchy Pocahontas movie (that film got SERVED by Animaniacs!) But Lion King is ANYTHING but that film. I said it a trillion times by now, but Disney took flack from making princess movies, and when they moved away from it they took flack from NOT cranking out princess films. Sure, they had the strange hit from Lilo and Stitch (they furthest away from a movie bout a beautiful princess who wants more), a fine film and all... but they took SOOOO much flack from Atlantis and Emperor's New Groove. I personally liked those two (the latter more so than the former), and I might just give Treasure Planet a second chance... but those Princess movies pigeonholed them.
You know what bugs me more about that film now that I think about it? The villain of the piece is constantly surrounded by mindless yes women teenyboppers that love him, and of COURSE he wants the one woman he can't have. Dude! You have ALL THESE loyal fan girls throwing themselves at you, and you want to go for someone who hates you? Seriously... Gaston has mental problems, yo!

I love the 80s pound puppy plushes. The new ones look weird.
