Imagine having the opportunity to step into one of the pivotal moments in Belle and Beast’s remarkable love story. That’s exactly what you get to do as you peer into the ballroom presented in the diptych paintings Just a Little Change: Humility and Just a Little Change: Gratitude. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the view of each painting is opposite the other–the position of Belle and Beast at one side of the ballroom, with the other characters witnessing with wonder in the far background of the doorway, and the position of the supporting cast waiting in the doorway watching Belle and Beast dancing across the floor.
In Humility, Belle tentatively takes Beast’s hand on her waist and encourages him to dance with her. Beast is a little hesitant, unsure of the path before him, but hopeful. But when they both set aside their pride and expectations to seek after something more enduring, humility is embraced and that’s when they see each other for who they truly are, regardless of how they may appear on the outside. It is this humility that ultimately liberates them, as well as all those who have supported them on their journey. Included in this side of the diptych are a small handful of Easter Eggs: In the alcoves to each side of the door are sculptural monuments to Raya and the Last Dragon, Sisu. Above them, amongst the cherubs painting on the curved walls, is Shorty, from Tangled, playing out his dream as Cupid (and he’s actually there–as he casts a shadow and his romancing arrow is pointed right at Beast!). The two paintings above the alcoves are a tribute to the art of the famous 18th century painter, Hubert Roberts. In the window just above Belle twinkles a trio of stars, as though Micky winks at them from another time and place. And lastly, tucked in the ruched satin of Belle’s golden gown is one of the cursed Aztec coins (from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) set in a medallion pin encircled with pearls. Now how did that get there?
