Philippe

Phillipe is a character from Beauty and the Beast and its first midquel. Phillipe is also the horse of Belle's father Maurice. He was voiced by Hal Smith in the original movie and later by Frank Welker.
== Appearances ==
=== Beauty and the Beast ===
At first, Philippe is seen in the movie taking Maurice to the fair so that Maurice can enter his invention in the fair and make tons of money. On the way, Philippe and Maurice get lost in the woods and Maurice takes Philippe down a dark path, believing it to be a shortcut. But then, as Maurice starts to turn Philippe around, Philippe hears the sound of wolves in the distance and gets frightened causing the two of them to crash into a tree and awaken a swarm of infuriated bats which frightens Philippe and he runs away horrified to the edge of a cliff. Maurice tries to get Philippe to calm down but Philippe frighteningly throws Maurice off of him and runs away terrified with some wolves on his trail. When Philippe gets away from the wolves, he arrives home and finds Belle and she asks him where her father is and tells him to take her to him. Philippe takes Belle to the gates of the Beast's castle and he gets frightened by the sight of it. But Belle manages to calm himself down while she goes into the castle to find her father.
Later, when Belle is frightened by The Beast, she takes off with him into the forest in order to escape the castle (presumably he waited outside the castle main door while Belle was dealing with the Beast). Philippe and Belle are ambushed by a pack of wolves who chase the both of them through the black forest. During the chase when they believe they’ve gotten away from the wolves, they ambush Belle and Philippe and his reins get tangled on a tree branch. The wolves try to ambush him, although he is able to kick one away and Belle defends him. Soon, the Beast shows up and fends off the wolf pack, saving both Philippe and Belle. Philippe shows concern for the Beast when he gets injured despite his monster form. Then Belle takes the Beast back the castle with the Beast on Philippe's back.
Later, Philippe is seen when the Beast sets Belle free from the castle. The two of them find her father and return home. Until, at last, Philippe is seen after the villagers decide to kill the Beast. After Belle and her father get away from their basement with the assistance of Chip, they ride Philippe back to the castle to save the Beast and Philippe bursts through the front door to get into the castle. It is presumed that after the curse was broken, Philippe stayed with Belle and Maurice in the castle.
=== The Enchanted Christmas ===
Philippe is seen when Belle and Chip go into the black forest to find a perfect Christmas tree. He pulls the sleigh that Belle and Chip sit in. After Belle and Chip find the tree, Fife accidentally frightens Philippe causing him to stomp and smash the ice of the frozen lake Belle and Chip are on. After Beast saves Belle from drowning, he follows the both of them back to the castle.

== Trivia ==
* Phillipe does not appear in the Broadway stage adaptation. Therefore, Belle instead finds out Maurice is missing when she finds LeFou playing with her father's scarf she had given him before he left.
