10 Movie Plot Holes That Will Destroy Your Childhood

10. Beauty and the Beast - An Adult Portrait?

We know from information gathered from Disney's seminal, awesome, and plot-hole ridden masterpiece Beauty and the Beast that our Prince character (whose name is "Adam", apparently) was cursed when he was just 11 years old by an Enchantress who thought he was a bit rude, which is pretty harsh if you're asking me. He's just a kid, c'mon!

Anyway, that's not the plot hole. The movie takes place about 10 years after that incident, with the Beast now around 21 years of age and living a life of sad solitude in that massive castle. We know this because of the lyrics to the song 'Be Our Guest', in which Lumiere clarifies that he's been "rusting" for 10 years, and the rose petal, we also know, will wilt when the Beast turns 21.

And yet... there's a painting of him as an adult hanging in one of the rooms? How in God's name did that happen?

Given that the Beast was only "human" until he was 11 years old, there's no way such a painting could or should actually exist. And we know it's not recent, because we see it get slashed in the "origin story" part of the movie. Time... travel?
