Very cool, if true

I'm am hideously biased against Belle, so I apologise in advance for ragging on your favorite Princess.

Feel free to skip the rest of this comment!

But.


I think I just associate with her far too much in the beginning of the movie, when she's inspired by her reading to seek out "adventures in the great wide somewhere!" and then... she settles down with the nice rich guy down the road. Stockholm syndrome aside, I invariably cry because she never has those adventures - because I don't think talking to clocks is a great adventure.

So maybe I'm setting my sights too high for her, but as far as I read it, she ends up still stuck in "This Provincial Life," and it breaks my heart.

(My favorite crossover is that she eventually gets rescued from the castle by Mulan. Though I guess Rapunzel would be just as good a match as well, these days.)
