This morning, I was listening to Annie and Danny's FastPass podcast. As a guest they had on Celeste from the PsySocDisney blog. Celeste talked about some of her various articles. One of them was a game of Kill/Refurb/Marry with regards to Disney princesses. Celeste's choice for a "kill" was Belle which was shocking to me because she's probably my favorite Disney princess.
I ended up tweeting about the show with Annie, Danny and my own co-host Daffy Stardust. Our conversation got me to thinking about what a messed up movie Beauty and the Beast is.
According to the prologue, the prince was living in a castle apparently all by himself. That's a little weird, but okay. It gets weirder when you take into account the prince's age. He has until he is 21 to break the curse. And the lyrics to Be Our Guest clearly state that the curse has been in effect for ten years. That means Prince Adam was 11 when he turned the old beggar lady away and got everyone in the castle cursed. That's harsh!
I came up with an in depth analysis of this and a lot of other weirdness in the movie here. Don't get me wrong. I still love Beauty and the Beast. It will always be one of my favorites Disney movies. But it is seriously messed up!
