Beauty And The Beast: 20 Fiendishly Clever Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

20. Belle's Book Of Easter Eggs

In the very first song, Belle sits down at a fountain to read her new book, having described it as an adventure about a prince in disguise that sounds suspiciously like Beauty And The Beast. To add flesh to the bones that she's basically reading her own future, the film shows her turn the page to reveal a picture.

The picture features a young girl with dark hair and a familiar looking blue dress sitting in the foreground of a castle with tall towers and red roof tiles, and a handsome prince who she seems to have been hiding from.

Beneath the illustration there's also the words 'le prince charmont': Prince Charming for the less Francophiliac viewers out there. 

Despite this very obvious shot, the picture still doesn't stop Gaston taking the book off her and demanding to know how she can possibly read it without any pictures. The ruddy idiot.
