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.
