Belle from Beauty and the Beast is one of the most relatable Disney princesses, but the animated character’s design almost looked quite different.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast is one of the most beloved Disney animated films that tells the story of a young woman named Belle known for her beauty - but her good looks were actually toned down from the original concept.
While Belle is so much more than her good looks, and loves to read and dream of adventure, her beauty is a key part of the story. Gaston, the villain, is obsessed with his good looks, and wants to marry her purely because she is so gorgeous. Her refusal of this, and her ability to see past the Beast's appearance to his good heart, make the idea of physical beauty central to the film.
How Belle's Face Was Changed In Beauty And The Beast In 2022, Emily Zemler published a book called Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara. In the book, Zemler explores the making of a dozen different Disney princesses through interviews with directors, voice actors, and others knowledgeable of Disney's animation success. In the book, it is revealed that Beauty and the Beast's Belle almost looked quite different from the animated character fans know in love.
Actress Paige O'Hara voiced Belle in the animated Beauty and the Beast, and she was interviewed in Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara. Insider reports that when speaking about Belle's original appearance, O'Hara said, "You'd look at her and put her on a pedestal. Mark and James changed the look of her. She was a little too perfect.
In 2022, her live-action looks were changed again, in a TV special called Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration. The show aired on ABC with the singer H.E.R. cast in the role of Belle. With the casting, H.E.R. became the first African-Filipino woman to play not just Belle, but any official Disney princess in live-action onscreen.
