This morning I watched the announcements of the Oscar nominees on television. With the announcements coming at 5:30 a.m. out of Beverly Hills, CA, it is an early morning for the announcers. That is for sure. I admit this has not been a successful year for me to get to the movies – I have …
I have never been a huge Disney princess fan, but there is something different abut Belle. Maybe because she is so not your typical princess, preferring books over boys and willing to befriend a beast, unafraid of adventure and ready to set out into the unknown.
