This movie is less overrated than the absolute average mess that is Frozen, but it is definitely among the MOST OVERRATED Disney films. Every time it was on during my childhood, it produced yawns from me. Belle is such a static character who does virtually nothing at all, save read a few books, wear some pretty gowns, and look pretty. Belle saves her dad exactly one time, but in the end, Belle totally leaves the beast to deal with her stalker ( Gaston) and the mob- she basically has a big mouth and gives away their entire location! Belle is such a tattletale! I never saw how Belle saves the beast, either. It is ultimately the enchantress’s spell that saves the beast. After all, Belle watches the beast die right in front of her. This movie was one of Disney’s meh movies for me.
