by Peter Nason - May 20, 2025
Ever since watching the 1989 animated film, The LIttle Mermaid, I have always had a problem with the character of Ariel. To me, she is the weakest of all Disney princesses. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle is book smart and strong-willed, denying the advances of the good-looking Gaston.

by Cybele Pomeroy - Dec 8, 2023
