How does belle save the beast

The film Beauty and the Beast depicts the story of a beautiful young lady, Belle , who committed her life to an ugly Beast to save her father from death. Belle , in her simplicity requests a rose from her father on his leaving for a journey; however this rose as simple as it appears will cost Belle her freedom. Inspired by the characteristics of the art movement known as Surrealism, the viewer is brought into a world of imagination and dream.

Nevertheless, while the movie is pure fantasy, it portrays the insight of the human soul with its heights and depths in terms of virtue, goodness, and ugliness. Throughout the movie, Belle is portrayed as a woman with a great virtue that makes her beautiful as inside than outside. For instance, when her father loses his riches, Belle , agrees to do household chores with a lot of humanity and willingness. She never complains about the situation and doesn't lament on her loss.

Also, she is very caring and compassionate. When her father announces that he has to return to the Beast 's palace to condemn to death, Beauty can't accept that.

As overwhelming as the situation is, she offers herself to live with Beast instead, if that can save her father's life. When she gets to Beast 's magic castle, she tries to repress the repulsion that his hideous appearance inspires. He tells Belle he's glad he got to see her one last time before dying. A grieving Belle asks the Beast to not leave her before whispering that she loves him as the final petal falls from the enchanted rose. Lumiere, Mrs.

Potts, and Cogsworth look glum as they believe their fates have been sealed. Then, there's magic rain and the Beast gets healed and transforms back into the Prince. When he approaches Belle, the Prince says, "Belle, it's me. Everything becomes immediately as it once was and we see the servant trio as their human selves for the first time as they're embraced by the Prince.

The enchantment left on the castle has a darker spin. The Beast still needs to find love in the new film, but this time around, there's no set date by which he must find his lady love.

While the Beast will remain a creature after the final petal falls, the stakes are higher for his servants — we learn early in the movie Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and the rest of the servants will become fully inanimate objects. When the Beast is injured this time — by three bullets, not arrows and a knife — he dies and we see the last petal fall from the rose before Belle gets to say a word.

At this point, it appears as if this is it! The curse is final. Instead of staying with Belle and the Beast to see her say those three little words that everyone is waiting to hear, the film takes a giant pause to cut to the main entrance of the castle where Mrs.

Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth have just finished defending their home from the townsfolk. One by one, we slowly see each of the servants become rigid, inanimate antiques, and presumably die.

Vanellope's song about a steering wheel is less than stellar, but Belle tries to avoid any criticism and asks if the steering wheel that Vanellope mentioned is a metaphor. Vanellope explains that she's being literal. As the princesses prepare to get back to work, Merida tries to send some advice in an unintelligible Scottish accent; in during which means, Belle makes an awkward face. During the climax, Belle and the princesses leave Oh My Disney after the Internet is taken over by a virus.

After the virus has been neutralized, the princesses spot Wreck-It Ralph plummeting from the air. Belle, Ariel, Tiana , and Cinderella use their gowns as parachutes to safely descend Ralph to the ground, where the princesses are able to formally meet and befriend him.

Belle makes a cameo appearance in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. During the song " Out There ", Belle is seen walking through the streets reading her book. Their romantic moment ruined thanks to Stitch, Belle then storms off to her room in a huff telling Stitch to get his own movie.

Belle made a cameo appearance as a silhouette with Beast, Mrs. Originally, when the first installment of Disney Princess Enchanted Tales was to be released, it was to feature a new Belle story and a brand new Fa Mulan story. The first chapter was entitled "The Kingdom Of Kindness". The plot of Belle's story featured Chip getting in trouble with the Beast after breaking some of his things.

Terrified, Chip runs away. Belle finds him and convinces him to come back to the castle, and teaches Beast what it means to be kind. She also teaches Chip that even when people are mad at him, it still means they love him. Actress Lynsey McLeod portrayed Belle, who was the owner of a book and music shop in France in her commoner costume.

Belle is the only child and daughter of Sir Maurice, whose town will be destroyed in the Ogre Wars. Rumplestiltskin offers to protect them if Belle becomes his servant forever. Over time, the pair fall in love, and Rumplestiltskin asks her to go out and buy straw, expecting that she won't return.

On the road, she meets the Evil Queen Regina and learns that true love's kiss will break any curse, including the one on Rumplestiltskin. Belle returns to the castle and kisses him, and he starts changing back into a human.

However, he learns that she met the Queen and becomes convinced that she is a spy; this stops the transformation. In his rage, he rejects her love and locks Belle in his dungeon. He then breaks all of his dishware, except the cup that she accidentally chipped. He throws her out of his castle, stating that his power is more important to him than she is. She admonishes him for not believing that she loves him and promises that he will regret it when he is left with an empty heart and the chipped cup.

She then leaves and he doesn't see her again. Belle is later seen giving advice on love to Grumpy then known as Dreamy. Her storyline in the Enchanted Forest involved Mulan in one episode. The two of them hear of a fiery monster causing trouble in the Enchanted Forest.

Belle hunts it down and douses it with water. The monster then writes "save me" on the ground. Belle uses fairy dust to help the creature and it turns back into its true form, Prince Phillip. He thanks Belle for saving him and reveals to her that Maleficent cast a spell over him to keep him away from his true love Aurora. Belle then introduces Phillip to Mulan and leaves them to help her true love, Rumplestiltskin.

However, soon after she is taken prisoner by Regina. In another episode, Hook goes to Belle's jail cell after hearing that she could be Rumplestiltskin's weakness.

He asks her to help destroy him, but she refuses to do so. Hook then knocks her out and leaves. According to the Queen, Belle was allegedly shunned by her town for her association with Rumplestiltskin and was imprisoned and tortured until she threw herself off a tower and died. However, this is later proven false by her existence in Storybrooke , where Regina keeps her locked in a secret room underneath the Storybrooke Hospital.

She is eventually released by Jefferson. He tells her to find Mr. Gold, who is actually Rumplestiltskin, and to tell Gold that Regina held her captive. She finds Gold but doesn't remember who he is. When the curse on Storybrooke is broken, she regains her memories and professes her love for Rumplestiltskin. He then takes her to his shop, where she makes him promise he won't kill Regina. After Gold releases the Wraith to seek out vengeance on Regina, Belle storms out of the pawnshop, frustrated by his play on words.

Later, she comes back to him, where he shows her the chipped cup and she says she will stay with him as "he's a monster". At the beginning of " The Crocodile ", Belle has a dream that Mr. When she wakes up, she sees Mr. Gold in the basement of his house doing magic. The next morning, Belle asks him what he has been doing. Gold just says "Magic is Power. To fix this "little" problem, her father handcuffs her to a mining trolley and rolls it down a hill, so she can have her memories erased because when a person crosses the town border, they lose all memory of their true selves.

She is rescued by Mr. However, once she is rescued, she says she doesn't want to see Mr. Gold and Moe ever again. Gold gives Belle the key to the Storybrooke Library and then explains everything from being a coward to Baelfire. He starts to go but Belle stops him, wanting to go with him for a hamburger at Grannies , to which he happily agrees. Sometime later, Archie is supposedly killed by Regina. Belle, along with the other townspeople, attends Archie's funeral where Mary Margaret gives a eulogy in remembrance of him.

Afterward, Belle meets up with Mr. Gold in which he happily tells her the option for crossing the border works. She expresses wishes to go with him, but he regretfully says the option is only enough for one person. She heads to the library, later on, to sort through books and notices a stranger standing in the corner and recognizes him as the man who broke into her cell in the Evil Queen's palace, Captain Hook.

In a state of panic, she runs from him but is unable to escape the building. Belle pushes a bookshelf, which topples and pins him to the floor as she scurries into the elevator. Pulling out her cell phone to call Mr. Gold, she is able to tell him about the man trying to kill her, but when she attempts to give more details, Mr. Gold is unable to hear her through the bad reception. Belle doesn't return to the library until Mr.

Gold operates the switch to open the elevator shaft. Reunited, they hurry back to the pawnshop together. On the way there, Belle demands to know Mr. Gold's history with Hook. Hesitantly, he finally tells her Hook stole his wife, Milah, from him years ago. When she asks what happened to his wife, Mr. Gold can only say that she died. When Mr. Gold's cloak is stolen by William Smee, Mr. Gold wants to get back. He gives her a loaded gun to keep in case she ever needs to use it to protect herself.

While Mr. Gold is away, Belle goes back into the library. There she finds a knot left behind from Hook and searches through her books about it. Reading the books, she realizes the knot comes specifically from a ship. Heading to the harbor, she looks up at the seagulls and is surprised to see one of the lands and stand on something invisible. Suspecting something is there but can't see it, Belle takes a pinch of dust and throws it over, revealing stairs leading up to an invisible ship.

She goes up the steps until she passes a barrier that leads her onto the ship's visible deck. Belle opens a door below deck and discovers Archie tied up. She uses a sword to cut him free and urges him to get back to town. Then, she proceeds to rummage around the shelves hoping to find Baelfire's cloak.

In her distraction, she had put down the gun, and just then, Hook makes himself known to her. She lunges for the gun, but Hook is faster. He threateningly points the gun at her forehead, and while they converse, he reveals to her a truth Mr. Belle still believes in Mr.

Gold and asserts that she knows he has changed and has good in him even knowing this. She hits him with a rowing paddle and runs away to the above deck while taking the cloak with her. Gold shows up to save Belle and proceeds to beat Hook bloody with his cane. Belle pleads that they should leave, but Mr. Gold can't contain his anger at Hook's presence. Finally, he stops when she reminds him of the hope she had in believing he changed and that if he has, to walk away right now.

They leave Hook's ship. That night, Mr. Gold and Belle are at the town border. He uses the potion on himself and steps to the other side of the borderline while his memory stays intact. Belle is very pleased the potion will allow him to find his son.

She promises to wait for him in Storybrooke. The heartfelt moment is interrupted when Belle is suddenly shot and pierced in the shoulder, causing her to trip and fall over the border into Mr. Gold's arms and thus lose her memories. Hook is then revealed to be the shooter, stating that now Gold knows how it feels to lose someone he loves. Gold yells her name in anguish, but she stares at him in confusion, asking, "Who is Belle?

She is in a frantic and frightened state after she becomes amnesic. Gold is worried about her injuries, so he magically heals them. Belle is confused and asks him how he did it. An ambulance arrives at the scene and takes Belle to the hospital. While laying in the hospital bed, Mr. Gold tries to trigger her memory with true love's kiss. It's unsuccessful, and Belle screams at Mr.

Later, Mr. Gold arrives at the hospital with the chipped cup, which he magically charmed. He gives it to Belle in hopes that she remember her past from the Enchanted Forest. The plan doesn't work.

Belle is confused and unsure when he mentions magic and tries giving the cup back to Mr. Gold, but he insists she tries. Belle becomes angry and throws the cup, shattering it to pieces. She asks him to leave one final time, and Mr. Gold finally leaves her room in tears. For the time, Belle remains in the hospital until she gets a call from Mr. Gold, who tells her that he knows she doesn't remember who she is, but that she was a beautiful woman who loved an ugly man, and adds that she creates goodness in people.

Belle begins to tear up at his words, but he hangs up before she can respond. She is then visited by Regina, who is displeased to hear Mr.

Gold will help her. Thinking quickly, she bends down to pick up an item and instead conjures a little red card of the town bar, The Rabbit Hole, and asks if it belongs to. Though Belle says no, Regina suggests she should take a better look at it.

Belle glances down at the card, exclaims she remembers who she is. In reality, Regina gave her false memories to replace the memories she lost as Belle. With the false memories, she assumes a new personality and a new name, Lacey. In the final episode of Season 2, Grumpy gives Mr. Gold some magic from the Blue Fairy to help restore Belle's memories. Gold restores the chipped cup and pours the magic into it. Belle drinks from the cup and her memories come back. After Henry Mills is kidnapped Mr.

However, after finding the item which has turned out to be Pandora's Box they are ambushed by John and Michael Darling now working for Pan and the two of them tie Ariel and Belle up and take the item to destroy it. In order to get out of the ropes, Belle removes Ariel's bracelet which allows Ariel to wiggle free from the ropes and undo Belle's bindings.

Ariel then puts the bracelet back on and go after John and Michael. Belle and Ariel find Michael and John just before they destroy the box. Belle is able to stop them by activating a mine cart on the tracks, which throws Michael and John off their feet. Using the time to her advantage, she grabs the box and kicks their gun away.

John and Michael tell Ariel and Belle that Pan has Wendy hostage and if they don't do his bidding he will kill her. Ariel and Belle promise they will help save their sister. Ariel and Belle then go to the coast where she parts ways with Belle and returns to Neverland with Pandora's Box.
