[90] In a study about the myth of Cupid and Psyche, Danish folklorist Inger Margrethe Boberg argued that "Beauty and the Beast" was "an older form" of the animal husband narrative, and that subtypes 425A, "Animal as Bridegroom", and 425B, "The Disenchanted Husband: The Witch's Tasks", were secondary developments, with motifs incorporated into the narrative. [15] [16] Variants [ edit ] It may have been over a quarter of a century since Walt Disney's animated picture Beauty and the Beast stormed onto movie screens changing the face of the animation studio for years to come, but the effects of the movie continue to be felt in musical theatre around the world. With the new live-action remake opening in cinemas next week attention has once again been placed on this spectacular musical story with debate rising from the feminist nature of Disney Princesses to the studio's apparent first gay character in a mainstream picture. For fans of the film, Beauty and the Beast represents the cornerstone of the so-called 'Disney Renaissance' that stormed the 1990s, pushing these animated musicals into new realms of artistic credibility. Belle is known throughout the village for her beauty, with one villager commenting that it has no parallel, but although she knows it, she is not vain or concerned about her looks. She’s very well aware that her fellow citizens think of her as "odd" and "peculiar." Belle pays very little attention to her appearance, unlike the very much conceited Gaston, who merely wishes to propose her because she’s attractive. He cares very little for her personality, her brilliance (he hates the very idea of a woman being rational), or the way she wants to live her life. In spite of his flaws, he singles Belle out as "the most beautiful girl in town," almost as if it were a compliment. Facially different Andy Tedder tries to persuade beauty queen Elicia Davies that beauty really is more than skin deep.Bluth, Don (1984).
