The question, "Which princess do bạn think is the smartest?" is asked very often and every time it is asked, there are those people who pick Belle. There are the people who not only pick Belle, but comment, "Because she reads." Then, there are the people who think that is a dumb thing to say, and begin immediately saying stuff like, "She only reads fairy-tales." Every time this process has been repeated I have wanted to say something like what I am about to say, but never got the chance. So now I'm going to say it.
I think many people forget that Beauty and the Beast is not set in 2011. It isn't set in the 1950's, either. It is set a long while back, before laptops and iPad's and cars. Before gigantic bookstores with every book genre and every book tiêu đề bạn could possibly think of. Belle lives in a small, provincial town, and the only "library" is a little bookshop with maybe two hoặc three shelves. There aren't any trucks that come into town every week, with stacks & stacks of the newest books. No, in Belle's library, the sách in there are probably the only sách that are in there for months at a time. At the time Belle was alive, there also probably wasn't a Harry Potter hoặc a Great Expectations. The only sách that were probably in that thư viện were fairy-tales. Not thin paperback fairy-tales with pictures, no, the thick, complicated, original versions of fairy-tales. Have bạn ever read the original version of The Little Mermaid? It's not something just anyone can read.
Another thing I think people forget is that Belle was a dreamer, a dreamer who wanted to escape her boring town. sách like Pride & Prejudice offer no escape. Fairy-tales? Now those are something. đọc sách like those, of far of places, dashing sword fights & a prince in disguise were possibly Belle's only nguồn of comfort in that town she so wanted to leave. They offered her adventure that she couldn't have. If bạn think that it is very childish of Belle to read such stories, put yourself in her place. Pretend that's all your thư viện had. Pretend bạn need to flee where bạn are, but bạn can't, and unfortunately, Harry Potter doesn't exist yet. She also states that she's read all the sách in
I'm going to end this bài viết with the wise words of someone who has written a very fairy-tale like series himself:

1) Josh Groban
I have always been a người hâm mộ of him and after listening to his rendition of If I Can't tình yêu Her from the musical version on Youtube. I personally felt that Josh should have been cast as the Beast!
2) Urs Buhler & Carlos Marin (Il Divo)
Just so bạn know that Carlos Marin had previously played the Beast in the Madrid production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and I personally felt that his voice is thêm suitable.
The một giây choice was his Swiss bandmate, Urs Buhler because he has both the looks and voice for both Prince Adam and the Beast.
3) Il Volo
The Jonas Brother version of Il Divo, they sound perfect and Prince Adam would definitely sound very operatic. Do bạn agree?
Let The World Be Done with Me!
Here are my 3 choices, do bạn agree?

"Well well, isn't it a coincidence that 2 princesses and 2 princes from 2 different eras meet each other. I'm not surprise at all!" đã đưa ý kiến Maleficent coolly.
"Who are you?" asks Cinderella, frightened and trying to keep her voice as calmly as ever. "I'm Maleficent, the Mistress of all Evil." replied Maleficent with pride, Aurora suspects that this isn't the Maleficent that she always knew, as she can tell from the glow onto her eyes. This is an evil Maleficent!
Aurora immediately yelled "You are not Maleficent! You're the evil Maleficent!" At this point, Maleficent declares "It's true! I'm not your Maleficent anymore and I was the one who magically transported bạn here!" She cracks into her evil laughter and vanishes.
At this point, Aurora bursts into tears and Cinderella, Prince Philip and Kit came to comfort her. Saying that the evil fairy will be perished.
