Belle (Disney)
Belle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1991), as well as its sequels and spin-offs. The character was originally voiced by actress and singer Paige O'Hara until Disney eventually replaced her with voice actress Julie Nathanson in 2011 due to the former's maturing voice. The book-loving daughter of an eccentric inventor, Belle is regarded as an outcast by her peers because of the character's nonconformity, and longs to abandon her provincial village life in exchange for adventure. When her father is imprisoned by the Beast, Belle sacrifices her own freedom in return for his, and eventually learns to love the Beast despite his outward appearance.
Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg commissioned ''Beauty and the Beast'' as an animated musical with a strong heroine, and hired first-time screenwriter Linda Woolverton to write it. Loosely based on the heroine in Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast", Belle was developed by Woolverton into a stronger and braver character for the film. Directly inspired by the women's rights movement, Woolverton wanted Belle to be as different as possible from ''The Little Mermaid'''s popular Ariel, deliberately conceiving the character as a feminist in response to the negative reception Disney had been receiving for the studio's depiction of women. Belle's fearlessness and love of reading were inspired by actress Katharine Hepburn's portrayal of Jo March in the film ''Little Women'' (1933), while the writers developed the character by giving her aspirations beyond simply marriage and romance. Animated by James Baxter and Mark Henn, the former of whom based the character's graceful mannerisms on artist Edgar Degas' paintings of ballerinas, Belle's European facial features were inspired by British actresses Vivien Leigh and Audrey Hepburn.
Actress Susan Egan originated the role of Belle in the Broadway musical adaptation of the film, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. The fifth Disney Princess, Belle has garnered widespread acclaim from film critics, who responded to the character's bravery, intelligence and independence positively. However, reception towards her feminism has been mixed, with critics accusing the character's actions of being romance-oriented, while questioning her unconventional relationship with the Beast. Regarded as one of the most important examples of feminism in Disney films, critics agree that Belle's role in ''Beauty and the Beast,'' in addition to changing the traditional image and reputation of the Disney princess, is responsible for inspiring a generation of strong and independent film heroines. One of Disney's most iconic characters, Belle became the only animated heroine to be nominated for the American Film Institute's greatest heroes in film ranking.
