Meeting Belle on the Disney Dream<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n \u201cWho is your favorite Disney princess?\u201d Wow, that\u2019s a hard one. I love Snow White and Aurora because their singing voices are so much like mine. I love Moana because of her sense of adventure. But when it comes right down to it, my favorite Disney princess is Belle. Meeting Belle in Disneyland Park<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n Next is her compassion and willingness to help others. When her father is imprisoned by the Beast, Belle knows that she has to take his place. She does this not out of a sense of duty, but out of a deep love for her father. This princess knows the importance of family and of helping those in trouble.

And with the help of his friends, the Beast is able to show Belle a different side of himself, a glimpse into the kind, caring person he is capable of being.

Belle, the heroine of the 1991 animated classic that was the first animated film to ever be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, represents so much that I want to emulate for my daughter. First of all, there\u2019s her love of reading. \u201cWith a dreamy far off look and her nose stuck in a book\u2026\u201d that pretty much described me as a child, and there have been plenty of times when I\u2019ve picked up my daughter from school only to see her casually walking towards me completely engrossed in a book. Any princess who shows a genuine love of reading and learning in tops in my book! (See what I did there?)<\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/BelleDisneyland-400x320.jpg\")

But perhaps the reason I love Belle most is because of the moral of the film. Of course Belle is frightened and threatened by the terrifying-looking Beast. He certainly doesn\u2019t help matters by his attitude in the beginning of the film. He threatens both Belle and her father, keeps them prisoner, and angrily orders her to dinner before seeing the error of his ways.<\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EnchantedTalesWithBelle-400x320.jpg\")

Belle sees this side of him and begins to understand that his exterior does not reflect who he is inside. Eventually, she sees him not as a Beast but as a person. She is able to open her heart to him and show him the compassion and love that were missing in his life. By refusing to look at him the way that others did, based solely on his appearance, she winds up saving his life.
So that\u2019s why I love Belle. She\u2019s smart, she\u2019s courageous, and she has helped teach millions of children to look inside, that true beauty is found within.
