Taking a page from Belle's book

From the age of three, Beauty and the Beast has been one of my favorite movies.
I am of the opinion that Belle is the best Disney princess created. I simply don't see how any other princess could compare. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White? Kind of lame. Ariel? What a brat. Jasmine? Completely spoiled. Mulan? Not even an actual princess! The only one who comes remotely close to reaching second place is Pocahontas. I approve of her.
Belle, on the other hand, is smart. She reads a lot, she's beautiful and she's incredibly kind, but she doesn't take anyone's crap. Belle? My childhood hero.
I've seen the movie Beauty and the Beast about one hundred times. I've seen the stage version six times. I've listened to the soundtrack for years. However, it wasn't until this past week that one particular line really stood out to me.

"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell...."

Isn't that just fitting? I feel exactly the same way, Belle. I think this one line will become my motto for the next few months.

Here's hoping I find a Disney prince out there as well....

  1. Belle is my all time favorite for the exact same reasons. I approve.

    And that epic part of that song might be my favorite part of the whole movie.

    I think we need to become better friends. PS, I'm now following your super fabulous blog.
