Belle:
"Far-off places, daring sword fights ... a prince in disguise ... Belle longs for so much more than a "normal life" in this small, provincial town -- a town where girls don't aspire to more than being the wife of a handsome lunk like Gaston. Still, adventure is the last thing on her mind when she rides her horse, Philippe, into the forest to find her beloved father, who is missing. Thinking only of her father, she makes a terrible bargain with a pitiless monster, a beast who holds her father captive. "Take me instead ..." Though the Beast now holds the key to Belle's prison, he doesn't have the key to her heart, and her yearning spirit won't be kept prisoner. But after he risks his own life to save hers, she begins to see past his hideous appearance. She realizes that, deep inside him, there might be something more than she -- or he -- has ever dreamed." -Disney
Belle is the heroine of the Disney animated film, Beauty and the Beast and its two direct-to-video sequels, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World. She is voiced by Paige O'Hara in all three movies. To make Beauty, Disney used live-action reference footage. Actress Sherri Stoner portrayed the role of Belle on film and her live-action performance was used as inspiration for the character's animated performance.
Belle is a smart and lovely free-thinker who likes to read and go on adventures within her own imagination. She is not shy and is not afraid to speak her mind, especially in tight situations. Belle can also be stubborn, and her curiosity often gets her into trouble. The townspeople find her love of books and knowledge odd for a woman. Gaston even says to her at one point, "It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas, and thinking..."
Belle's character is also an official Disney Princess. She appears throughout the Disney parks, and in various Disney productions, such as the tv series House of Mouse and the video game Kingdom Hearts.
