Disney Princess Belle: Getting to Know You

Belle, "Getting to Know You" is the Disney Princess Poster for today. And what a lovely princess she is!

Belle is the heroine of the Disney movie "Beauty and the Beast", which was released in 1991. And by the way, did you know that this Disney film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture? It's the only animated movie that's been nominated for that award! Although the movie didn't win Best Picture, it did win for Best Song and Best Original Score.

"Beauty and the Beast" has also been named as one of the 100 great love stories of all time.

Belle is the only daughter of Maurice, an inventor. Her suitor is Gaston, whom Belle seems so-so about.

Maurice is lost in the woods and comes across the Beast's castle. There, the Beast throws him into the dungeon!

Belle comes to the Beast's castle and asks to remain as a substitute, and let her father go. Since Belle is so lovely, naturally the Beast agrees.

Belle is befriended by the Beast's servants...who appear as everyday household items, due to a spell. The Beast is also under a spell, that until he learns to love and be loved, he will remain as a Beast instead of being human.

Of course, Belle eventually falls in love with the Beast and he falls in love with her and the spell is broken.
