I know they were different, but how exactly was the original Beauty and the Beast Stories different from the Disney version? I remember that Belle originally had sisters and that she had no name. Also, there were no talking furniture. But otherwise, how was it different?


Ah, my friend and I looked into this big time freshman year.

There's actually a LOT of variants on the original tale. Some of them are very, very strange. My personal favorite is the one where she had to chop the Beast's head off so a key would come out and she could free herself.

This site has a great variety of the original "Beauty and the Beast" folk tales.

I remember when I was in a remake of Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid that this travelling group put on at different schools all around the country. It was called Beauty Lou and the Country Beast. (BATB meets Hickville, basically Laughing) I was Beauty's youngest sister. All I did was cry and make the audience laugh at me not wanting to ever do chores Laughing. But some of the stuff in that link sounds familiar from the one we did. I do remember going through the script saying "Um...where's the talking furniture?" Laughing

APK, I doubt that there's any you can point to being the "very original one." In fact, the original has most likely been lost to the modifications it received over time, just like any fairy tale.

Yup, like many folk tales, there's no "original date" known. Smile
