oh besides, Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
Only Phillip was not discovered to be the prince at first..

Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise...

I mean neither Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella has no swordfights!?

After thinking it over, I think it's Cinderella, and here's why:

Cinderella dances with the prince but doesn't REALIZE it's the prince, remember? She thinks it's some total random dude. THEN she finds out it's the prince after the ball, when the message is getting sent around.

The reason I DON'T think it's Sleeping Beauty is because it says "but she won't discover that it's him til chapter three!"

In Sleeping Beauty, the HE discovers the SHE, not the other way around. Phillip discovers that Aurora is the peasent girl. Aurora never discovers Phillip is the peasent boy til the very end. And my impression is, from the part of the book she's in, that Belle is only at the MIDDLE of the book, and not the end, judging by the number of pages she has left.


Therefore, I think she's actually reading Cinderella.


*edit*

What PPV says has me thrown. If that's what she's reading, it obviously isn't Cinderella. Except the prince is never in disguise in Sleeping Beauty. Therefore, it makes me think that it's her OWN story she's reading, because the beast is in disguise. There are magic spells too. However, there's no swordfights. Swordfights indicates more than one sword sparring against each other, which we don't have in ANY of the books.

It's actually making me think it's a totally random fairytale just combining all the usual elements of fairy tales.
It could be a TOTALLY random story, actually, combined as one.


Maybe it could be Rapunzel? That has all the elements PPV listed, as I recall, although I don't know if the prince is ever in disguise...

Or maybe it's Aladdin....that would actually fit the bill...

Aurora didn't understand it was the prince too!
She meets him but only in the 3rd chapter she realized that he's the prince. Or am I wrong??

See, I now think it's a totally random fairytale she's reading.

no, prince charming- cinderella didn't realize he was the prince at first.

I guess sleeping beauty could be it, but something about how she describes the GIRL discovering the BOY in chapter three has me thrown, because it's phillip who discovers aurora, and it seems to me chapter three is only the middle of the book.

Why did you have to make it SO hard?! ;)

I'm still sticking with Sleeping Beauty, but now I have been swayed by your comments to the contrary.

Maybe, it's just a fairytale that hasn't been Disney-ized yet?

aurora only discovers phillip is the prince at the end, when he kisses her.

it could be the 3rd chapter.. I think they wrote in the movie's script "chapter three" only for perfect rhyme ;)

But she's only halfway through the book. There's literally tons of pages left to go.

maybe it's kinda.. collected stories!? ;)

I never thought that Belle was reading any of the fairytales that Disney made into a movie.

I've always thought it wasn't Beauty and the Beast she was reading. Partly because it seems a bit cheesy for her to be reading her own story, partly because it seems weird she'd never notice her life mirroring her favourite book. If your life suddenly started following the same path as a book you love you'd be like "wow...this exact thing happened in a book I love. I know what's going to happen next" lol.
I went back to look, since at one point we see an image inside the book (when she sings 'here's where she meets prince charming') I don't think it's cinderella, the image shows the girl and prince outdoors, not too close to the palace, neither lookng fancy, and that's not how Cinderella meets her prince (she also seems to be hiding/shying away from him, and he's having to creep up to her which doesn't fit cinderella, but could be sleeping beauty or Beauty and the beast), if it's not just a random fairy tale then out of these I think it's most likely to be Sleeping Beauty. If it's anything specific, I was assuming it was a random fairy tale. The prince in the pic doesn't look like a beast, but he's kind of small and not too clear, so I could be wrong.

Le Prince Charmant. Hehe. Prince Charming.

The only French I know is "Bonjour"...lol

If anyone could read french, maybe someone could translate for us the page?

I know Je t'aime ;) lol

I love you! ♥

Whats that mean

I take that back...I also know "Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir, Voulez vous coucher avec moi"...from the song Lady Marmalade :D

awww sweet ppv :)

true ;)

The words are too small for me to read.

Princesslullaby you said there's no Princes in disguise in Sleeping Beauty but there is. It's metaphorical (I think that's the word?) because Aurora doesn't know his true identity.

In all honesty, I speak fluent french but the words are cursive and tiny. If anyone has a big screencap, I could translate it.

Definitely. ♥

or sleeping beauty

I don't think it was a Jane Austen. There are no swords, princes and magic at all :)

i agree w/ the comments above, aurora didnt discover tht the guy she met in the forest was prince philip until the end of the movie

Eh, I always beleived that it was some random story that it was some random story the script writers made up.

what is written:
une languissante sirène ! Enfin il sera bientôt heureux, si c'est cela qui doit causer son bonheur. Je sais que je suis agréable à regarder, puisque j'y ai du plaisir moi-même, et de ce plaisir je ne priverai pas mon mari, au contraire. Je ne sais si je l'aimerai, mais je veux qu'il m'aime lui,et je ferais pour lui plaire tout ce qu'il lui plaira. Ah ! chère Adélaïde, je suis pleine de rêves absurdes et de pensées contradictoires. Je songe à des choses qui me semblent à la fois douces et vilaines, et j'ai des imaginations qui me font rougir en même temps que pleurer! Au moins, je ne m'ennuie pas. Au moins, je ne m'ennuie pas. Je vis plus en une heure de ces journées que l'an passé je ne vécus en toute l'année. Chaque heure me renouvelle, me grandit et m'épanouit. Je me semble un rosier qui fleurirait à vue d'œil ; je suis fraîche et parfumée; je suis légère et forte : j'attends le bonheur. Paul est plus beau que je ne l'avais encore jamais vu. Il est pâle avec de grands yeux pleins de fièvre et d'amour. Je le trouve sublime quand il s'agenouille près de moi pour me regarder comme en prière. J'ai envie de le prier aussi, parfois, et de coucher ma joue sur ses genoux, mais quand j'ai cette envie-là, je me fâche contre moi-même et je boude contre Paul. Il est très difficile de maintenir un homme
