Belle's appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' franchise is based directly upon her appearance in Walt Disney's Academy Award winning film, ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1991). Belle's character has appeared in various incarnations of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' story throughout history, but her Disney counterpart is mainly based on the character of Beauty in Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's ''La Belle et la Bête'', which was published in 1756. | Belle's appearance in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' franchise is based directly upon her appearance in Walt Disney's Academy Award winning film, ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1991). Belle's character has appeared in various incarnations of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' story throughout history, but her Disney counterpart is mainly based on the character of Beauty in Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's ''La Belle et la Bête'', which was published in 1756. In the film, much like in the game, she gives up her freedom to the Beast in exchange for her father's release. Initially, things are bleak between Belle and the Beast, although the servants, particularly Lumiere, attempt to make her feel at home. Belle and the Beast begin to develop a friendship after the Beast saves her from a pack of wolves in the woods outside the castle, and eventually they fall in love, but Belle briefly leaves to find her father, who was searching for her. When a rival suitor, Gaston (the movie's villain, absent from the games), orders an attack on the castle to kill the Beast (out of jealousy), Belle rushes to save her love and at the crucial moment, chooses to save the Beast rather than Gaston, who falls to his apparent death. Belle's love for the Beast transforms him back into Prince Adam and they hold a ball to celebrate. | ||
