My favorite character is belle because I can relate to her love for books 🙂
I love Cogsworth because he tried to spare Belle from “the Beast” and misery. Even thought he was wrong and she was the one who put an end to the curse, it was not his intention to have her as prisoner of the Beast or worse.

I love the beast. I like that he was able to change himself and overcome his pride. This is a wonderful lesson for many of us today. I would imagine many of us would ultimately be turned into a beast if put in the situation. Good reminder to be a better person. Maybe I am thinking too deep for a Disney movie, but I like to learn from everything I do! Thanks for the opportunity!
