It’s been awhile since my last princess post, and this one was
one of our favorites! Be… our… guest for this magnificent tribute to Beauty and
the Beast!
This movie is full of colorful characters, and it’s actually a story of sacrificial love. It has a lot of similarities to the original story, but I think I might prefer the Disney version. It was released on November 13, 1991 (check out this weird original movie advertisement!)
THE COLOR: yellow,
like Beauty’s ball gown… This was us smiling like the Beast’s first attempt at being
suave and debonair – what a funny moment in the movie!
THE FOOD: homemade
teapot scones! Mrs. Potts is such a great character, and we love tea.
We made it into a whole tea party.
THE ACTIVITIES:
Well, first of all, we recreated the epic “Be Our Guest” scene using our own
silverware, napkins, etc. Check out my family members helping the spoons jump
into the punch bowl!
And here I am reacting with delight to
the kitchen's presentation of my dinner. ("No one's gloomy or complaining
while the flatware's entertaining!")
We didn’t figure out how to make the silverware come dancing
down on the chandelier, but if you’d like to see that done, check out the
original scene/song from the movie – it is a masterpiece!
We also had fun taking pictures of everyday household objects
and pretending they were movie characters, like Lumiere & Cogsworth, Mrs.
Potts & Chip…
Reading is so important to Belle that we decided to spend part
of the day doing it too!
Our father was such a good sport to go along with the
reenactment of Gaston! “When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen
eggs ev'ry morning to help me get large; and now that I'm grown I eat 5 dozen
eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge!”
Finally, we recreated the dance scene to the classic “Tale As
Old as Time.”
The movie probably did a better job, but we sure had fun!
