Belle, The beautiful female lead character in the 30th animated feature film from Walt Disney Animation Studios Beauty and the Beast.

She have always been my favorite Disney character but even if she is my favorite that doesn´t mean that she is perfect.

I will here explain what i like about her and what i dislike and after that i will explain my reasoning.

Good Points
Here is the categories that i will talk about, I will use these on the bad parts aswell since there is always two sides to every coin.
Her Looks
I love how she looks, brown hair and eyes is very nice and I like the fact that she isn´t as thin and "exaggerated" as for example Ariel and Jasmine, she looks realistic and very beautiful.
Her Personality
Her personality is very interesting and funny, she loves to read and longs for adventure and feels like she don´t belong in her village.
Another personality point i love is that she can stand up to Beast.
Her Story
I love the movie so what more can i say here?
Her Clothes
All of her clothes look amazing, especialy her golden ball gown and her pink dress.

Bad Points
These are the thing that i either don´t like or are simply less pleased about.
Her Looks
The biggest problem i have with this is that she is drawn differently at some parts of the movie, it is not so bad that it ruins the´movie but it is still a bit of a disapointment.
Her Personality
I have no idea what to write here....Her flaws is what makes her realistic.
Her Story
Same as above.
Her Clothes
I only wish that we could have gotten a better view of some of them but other than that nothing.

So to conclude Belle is a very good character and i have not that much to complain about, but i do know that many people have and i hope that some of them will share their thoughts here.

Well I hope you enjoyed this ^^

soxfan89 Well, This All Seems Pretty Clear That No Matter What's Bad You Can Never Stop Loving Belle.

Cherry9090 nicely written i love it very nice details

juicyjossy9 Beautiful writing as usual ^o^ - Your comments show a great maturity in that, even if this character is obviously (with reason) your favorite ever, it is not because of her "perfection". You actually love her because she is not perfect, her "flaws" being a big part of her charming and very human personnality. Am I right to think that you, as a lover of love, saw your alter ego in Belle? Maybe she already did lead you to find yours ... Maybe this is why you showed it so well in your new icon ... and wrote a poem about it ... I'm so glad for you two / V. =)

FullMoonFever Again: really good job! ^^ BTW, I LOVE that first picture of Belle :)

LisaForde Great article.

kalfire1 wow,pretty good. i like that you were mature about about the bad side. and you didnt like trash her. and you got a point,her flaws does make her human. not like some princess who are unrealistic. really good.

TeamSongz4eva as simple as that was i totally had to agree i always felt drawn to Belle when i was younger..and yes she is very beautiful and even though she is a cartoon...she is made to seem really really realistic adn.....(why do you want me to write sooo much lol) i like the way you organize ur thoughts:) makes me wanna rread another article of yours:)

glelsey Good article. :) I agree that it's a shame she appears to be drawn differently at times. Maybe the communication between the animators wasn't great? I like her personality flaws too. ^^ "Perfect" characters are so boring, Belle is more interesting than that.

MishAriel I would like belle more if her flaws were more apparent. She doesn't seem to have any, shes always been a tad too perfect to me.
