Meet Belle, the heroine of *Beauty and the Beast*, with this Disney POP! figure No. 1828 produced by Funko. This edition highlights one of the character’s most iconic traits: her love of reading. Belle is depicted sitting, holding an open book, accompanied by Chip, the little enchanted teacup. The figurine is approximately 9.7 cm tall.
The design combines several instantly recognisable elements of the heroine. Belle is wearing her famous yellow ball gown, with her hair tied up and a matching headband, whilst the fullness of her skirt naturally supports her seated position. The open book rests in front of her and Chip is perched directly on top of it, creating a composition centred on reading and the bond between the two characters.
Belle is the heroine of *Beauty and the Beast*, a Disney animated classic released in 1991. She lives with her father Maurice in a small French village, where her keen love of books and her desire to discover the world set her apart from the other villagers. She dreams of adventures beyond the provincial life to which she is destined and, in particular, rejects Gaston’s persistent advances.
When Maurice goes missing and is imprisoned in the Beast’s castle, Belle sets out to find him and agrees to take her father’s place in order to secure his freedom. She then discovers a castle inhabited by servants turned into enchanted objects, including Lumière, Big Ben, Madame Samovar and her sons Zip and Chip.
The relationship between Belle and the Beast gradually develops. Behind his intimidating exterior, she discovers a character capable of compassion and affection. Their growing closeness becomes particularly evident when the Beast grants her access to his vast library – a gesture of great significance for a heroine whose love of books is established right from the film’s opening scenes.
This POP! No. 1828 brings together several symbols associated with Belle: her passion for reading, her yellow ball gown and the presence of Chip. Funko thus offers a representation that combines various iconic facets of the character rather than literally recreating a single scene from the film.
