If you were banished from reality into a faery tale of your choice, which would it be, which character would you choose to become, and why?
Beauty and the Beast. I'd like to see it transformed though....female beast, male beauty, and I would be the beast.
In the traditional Disney form though, Belle is the heroine I would most identify. She's not a princess, she's bookish, her hair is somewhat aflutter. I would wish for myself her gift of not being afraid of the beast.
Speaking of Belle, did you know her name in the Disney movie was "Speechless"? Yep. When the movie came out, oh what, about eleven years ago, Glory, my niece was two. All the aunts and cousins were at the Disney store. Glory's mom was carrying her, and I was right behind them.
"What's the Beauty's name," I asked her.
"Speechless," she immediately piped up.
And she was right. In one of the first scenes Belle does reply, "I'm Speechless!"
Kids see everything....literally!
