## Behind the Scenes

### Disney Wiki Links

Belle

**Princess Belle** is the female protagonist of Disney's 1991 animated feature film, *Beauty and the Beast.* An avid reader and outcast daughter of the town's inventor, Belle dreams of adventure in the great wide somewhere and an escape from her poor provincial town.

She was released with the first wave of the Animators' Collection, and has received multiple updates throughout the years. Her fourth edition remains available for purchase.

### First Edition

Released in 2011, Belle has light brown eyes that up and to the right, with curious brown eyebrows and pink lips, slightly open. She has long, wavy brown hair pulled back into a ponytail by a blue bow, with a single curl falling over her face.

Her dress had a lace collar and white sleeves, with a blue overdress with a lace hem and white sash. She also wore white socks and black Mary Jane shoes.

Belle's companion was Chip Potts, a small anthropomorphic teacup. The white cup was given a yellow outline and black eyes looking hopefully upwards.

### Second Edition

Released in 2013, Belle's second edition has much straighter hair and no bow, with raised eyebrows.

This edition forgoed her blue peasant dress for a yellow ballgown, with puffy sleeves and skirt. There was a lace trim around the dress, with a yellow rose pattern on the waist, and roses embroidered onto the skirt. Her shoes were now gold, and Chip was removed.

### Third Edition

Released in 2014, Belle's physical appearance did not change much from the second edition, though her lips were a bit redder. Her ballgown was simplified, with no embroidery or rose, though with a gold overlay over the skirt. Chip was returned to her.

### Fourth Edition

Released in 2021, Belle's eyes became hazel and her eyebrows lowered in order to look closer to her animated counterpart. She returned to the peasant dress, though it now had puffy sleeves and a lace trim around the sleeves and apron, as well as a white collar. She also wore white leggings and returned to her black Mary Jane shoes.

Her companion was changed to a white sheep, reflecting the animals in her village. The sheep has brown feet, eyes, face and ears, and is chewing on its own wool.
