I like princess movies. The reason lies in my heart belief, that good people should have good endings. So I was watching Beauty and the Beast again after umpteen years. I enjoyed the movie, but can't help feel pity for the Beast - in this Disney's version at the least.
In this version of Beauty and the Beast, the Beast will remain a beast forever, when he reaches his 21st birthday. The Beast was a prince, magically cursed and turned into a beast by a beautiful enchantress, whom was turned away by by the prince when she needed shelter. The problem is, according to a song in the movie, this event happened 10 years ago. Wow, the prince was only 11 years old! The poor prince was probably home alone at that time and his parents had asked him not to open the castle door to strangers. So he, who had done the right thing, was punished!
Poor Beast! May he and Princess Belle live happily ever after.
