Disney Hides the Truth about Beauty and the Beast: 5 Major Questions Everyone Ignores

Don't get us wrong, we all love Beauty and the Beast. It's a great piece of animation, it's an essential classic, and so on, but…

There are just too many things that don't even remotely make sense! Bear with us here for a second, and you'll see why we have so many questions for Disney.

Who is Beast?

It is claimed that Beast is Prince Adam, but that's 100% cap.

First of all, no one ever drops an entire heir to the throne just because he's a bit scary now.

This is not how monarchies work, you know? If Beast was in fact Prince Adam, he wouldn't have been left alone to vibe in the woods — he's an HEIR.

Second of all, the portrait depicted the man Beast turned into at the end of the story — a grown-up man.

The Prince was enchanted when he was 11, not 21. So we're asking again: who was Beast, really, and why was he pretending to be the Prince?

Who is Belle?

Belle is supposed to be the nerdy princess: she does science, invents stuff, and knows a library's worth of stuff. But somehow, Belle doesn't match the expectations.

Somehow, with all that sharp brain, she can't figure out that a massive enchanted castle could only belong to a noble and is utterly shocked when she learns that Beast is a Prince (is he though?).

Somehow, after all her reading, she can't put together the phrase "I'll be back in a few, don't you worry."

But instead, she does heavy lifting (because that's the only explanation for how a tiny girl could've got Beast's giant unconscious body on the horse) and faces her abusive stalker face-to-face instead of hiding.

Does this sound like a nerd to you?

Who is Chip?

Chip is supposed to be a seven-year-old boy who was enchanted together with the others, but we don't buy it: he still acts like a kid a decade later.

If he was truly enchanted together with the rest of the servants, he would've been mentally 17 by the time Belle arrived.

And if he was actually born after the curse, and his seven years of life started in this form, then… How? How does a teapot produce a teacup, who's the father, and — what or who is Chip, really?

Who are those objects?

We are asked to believe that the inanimate objects in the castle used to be the Prince's servants, but that can't be true.

The thing is, they are different. Sure, we have the main fellows like Lumière and Cogsworth, but we also have an army of faceless plates and forks out there.

There clearly were not hundreds of faceless men in the castle when the curse struck. So, who are those identical expressionless things, and how did they come to life?

Who is the fairy?

We're told that it was a "good fairy" who turned Prince Adam into Beast. It wasn't.

A good fairy wouldn't have pretended to be a creepy old witch if she were to pay a visit to a young Prince.

A good fairy would've never punished an eleven-year-old boy for not letting a creepy stranger into the house. And no good fairy would've ever turned a kid into a monster for life just because she felt a bit annoyed!

This looks more like a political plot: removing the young Prince to take control of the kingdom in the future. We're pretty sure good fairies don't do that — so, who was she?
