Ok, anyone who knows me generally well will tell you that I have a serious obsession with Beauty and the Beast. But lately I've been realizing it's more than a movie I love. I think the reason I love it is because for the duration of what is generally called my childhood, it was the one constant that always made me truly happy, gave me hope and made me want to live life.
Though recently when I've watched it, I've realized how Beauty and the Beast is different from any other princess movies. Why? Because, for one, they don't fall in love at first sight. It's not some incredibly sappy moment when they're suddenly falling all over themselves to do EVERYTHING for the other person. It's slow, gradual. Love doesn't come out of nowhere, it grows from small acts of kindness between them. Personally, that's more realistic than any of the other movies. If you ignore all of the magical, fantastical elements and just look at the story, it's a beautiful example of how a strong, true love is not only made, but made to last.
Not to mention, Belle is smart, beautiful and kind. She's an amazing Disney princess. Which is why she'll always be my favorite.
