Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?
Beauty and the Beast (1991) Dir. Gary Trousdale & Kirk Wise
Belle’s wardrobe (Beauty and the Beast) ϟ “As we wanted to show a slight passage of time in costume we made some slight changes – Belle is wearing a jacket that was embroidered by hand in our workshop and is a collection of stylised images of different animals. She is wearing a red fichu and an apron with printed flowers which references French provencal style and is part of the small selection of additional things she wears during the montage sequence at the Castle.” — Jacqueline Durran

Think of the one thing that you’ve always wanted. Now find it in your mind’s eye and feel it in your heart.
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere! I want it more than I can tell. And for once it might be grand, to have someone understand…I want so much more than they’ve got planned.
