Few knew about the castle hidden inside the island…
“That’s what you’re starting with?” Allie asked.
“It’s the only way it makes sense!” Jason said. “How is there a castle a couple miles up the road and the villagers know nothing about it? What is he a prince of? The water?”
“The bigger question is what kind of beautiful fairy curses an eleven-year-old boy?”
“And where were his parents?”
“And do they really expect us to believe Chip is Mrs. Potts’ kid? She’s like twenty years post-menopausal!”
“I bet he’s really Lumiere’s kid.”
“With that duster, French maid?” Allie nodded. “Mrs. Potts probably just took him in so the girl wouldn’t look like a slut.”
Jason typed frantically, his fingers like spider legs crawling across the keyboard. “Do you think a producer would buy this movie?”
“Are you kidding? Beauty and the Beast with a twist? They re-did Sleeping Beauty, Snow White. Why not this one?”

Can you explain why the girls lack a distinctive nose? Nice take on prompt!

Ha! To create the illusion that a smaller/no nose is prettier? I swear Disney is the reason why so many girls have body image issues. Thanks for reading! 🙂

I have always held they sexed up their princesses. It’s crazy but they are more Barbie than Barbie.

Great story! I’ve always assumed that the Beast was a “prince” because Disney doesn’t seem to recognize other feudal ranks. Properly, he should have been a marquis or something like that.

I would totally buy it if they said he was a marquis or a duke, but a Prince? No way! Where’s his kingdom? His subjects? Lol

Those actual Disney shows, about the kids of the people, Descendants or whatever, are awful. Please call them for a job, they need you.

No way! There’s a show now?! I had the displeasure of watching the movie. It was so bad. And I’m sick of Disney telling girls that they need a man to be happy. Stop! Has Frozen taught us nothing?

I’m not sure if it’s a movie or a show. The girls aren’t home right now to ask, but whatever it is is vomit-inducing!

I always wondered how Miss Potts had a little boy…was it really her grandson? It was never explained! We need answers!

Yes! I have so many questions for the writers of Beauty and the Beasts. Mrs. Potts and Chip’s relation is at the top of the list!
