Cupcake12 My favourite Disney Princess ðŸ‘¸ 4y

hannah-leeloo Have you read the original 9 chapter book? @Cupcake12 it's very different to the Disney. Me and the kids love the Disney film too â¤ 4y

Cupcake12 I haven‘t read it no. But can sit and watch the film over and over again x 4y

hannah-leeloo You'd probably be able to read the book in the same length 9f time lol, I was really surprised how short it was. I think I have 6 versions of the book. Do you like the live version film @Cupcake12 ? X 4y

Cupcake12 I love the live version too. My daughter and I watched it at the cinema and we both cried at the end ðŸ˜‚ 4y

pan

This was the original 1740‘s Unabridged Edition.
Unbelievably dull and stiff. Painful to read.

â€¢ Likes: The Monkey Staff and talking Parrots, The dream Sequences with the handsome prince, the dull but kind Beast.

This book continues on after the wedding to talk about the princes/queens backstory as well as the Fairies backstory

This story at its heart is about arranged marriage. Maybe it‘s better read in French?

JazzFeathers I have It on my TBR for the challenge too, though not this beautiful edition. I'm quite curious to read how the original was. 4y

Beauty and the Beast is perhaps my favorite fairy tale. This rendition certainly contains a great many more details than the rest. Here we have the back story to the beast, beauty, and the parentage of both. Also some reassuring explanation as to why Cocteau provided Belle with brothers but no modern authors have.
