Belle, the fictional character in Walt Disney’s 1991 animated classic “Beauty and the Beast” is one Disney’s official Princesses. She is very charming and yet such a free spirited girl. Please allow me to share some interesting and little known facts about Princess Belle with you.

There are 2 follow-up direct to Disc sequels to Beauty and the Beast in which Belle also stars. They are “Beauty and the Beast; The enchanted Christmas” and “Beauty and the Beast; Belle’s Magical World”

Did you know that Belle makes a Cameo appearance in Disney’s 1996 animated movie “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”?

When Disney animators were bringing the Belle Character to life they actually hired an actress (Sherri Stoner) as a live action model to act out various scenes that were planned in the movie. This allowed the Belle animators to gain inspiration from Stoner’s mannerisms and actions. Often when 2 or more animated Characters appear in a scene together they are drawn by separate animators. Sometime those animators are not together as they drawn the scenes. It’s only later that the characters and background are merged to form a complete scene.

The outfit that Belle wears the most in Beauty and the Beast is a blue peasant dress with a white blouse. Her outfit also has a white apron on the front. While many believe that the idea for Belle’s outfit was from Dorothy’s dress from The Wizard of Oz, it was actually created from the dress that Julie Andrews wore in The Sound of Music. The Dress that Belle is most famous for and the one she is portrayed the most in is the Golden yellow ball gown. While Belle only wears this during the Ballroom sequence with the beast, this is by far her most elegant outfit.

Belle is one of the meet able and greet-able princess characters at the Walt Disney theme parks. Most likely she will be wearing her yellow Ball gown when you meet her inside the parks.

The voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast is from the talent of actress Paige O’Hara (born Donna Paige Helmintoller). O’Hara brings Belle to life like no other actress could. It is difficult to imagine but Belle’s voice was actually played by another Actress, Jodi Benson, for the DVD movie “House of Mouse”. Benson did the best she could but nothing compares to Belle’s original voice. Of course Robby Benson as the Voice of BEAST is irreplaceable too.

This article will focus on the career and movies of Jeff Bridges. Bridges has been acting for over 40 years and has quietly established himself as one of the better actors in the industry. If you ever read magazine interviews with actors and actresses, anyone who has worked with Bridges only has great things to say. It comes as no surprise that such a great actor gets to star in great movies.

Here are some of the better movies to come out that have starred Jeff Bridges.

One movie of Bridges that I have to include is White Squall. Maybe I am impartial because I love stories taking place at sea, but I thought this was an excellent film. This movie was directed by the great Ridley Scott.

Arlington Road is another film that I certainly will discuss. This movie is not for the faint of heart, and is an incredibly gripping film. While Jeff Bridges is great in this film, the true star of this movie is his neighbor, Tim Robbins.

Another movie that I would definitely include on this list is torn. This is one of the founding fathers of both science fiction and special effects driven movies, and I cannot wait to see what Torn 2 will look like in 3D. The sequel will also star Bridges.

Of all the movies that Bridges has starred in, in no movie was his performance as impressive as in Crazy Heart. If you put any other actor in this film, it probably would have been overlooked; Bridges managed to make this movie into his personal masterpiece, culminating in an Academy Award.

To not put The Big Lebo ski on this list would be a shame. This film has become such a cult classic that bowling leagues across the country have sprouted up in its honor. This is definitely one of the better comedies of the nineties.

These are just my personal favorite Jeff Bridges movies, but there are definitely some other great ones as well.
