Belle (Disney)

Belle is the heroine of the Disney animated film, Beauty and the Beast and its two direct-to-video sequels, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World. She is also an official Disney Princess and the namesake of Beaver's dog. She is voiced by Paige O'Hara in nearly every incarnation. The only time she has ever been voiced by anyone different is when she has appeared in the Disney Channel series House of Mouse, at which time she was voiced by Jodi Benson, who is commonly known for being the voice actress of fellow Disney Princess Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Belle also makes a brief cameo appearance in Disney's 1996 animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

For an unknown reason, all incarnations of Beauty & the Beast, including Belle's stories in Disney's The Princesses of Heart, all take place during the film, owning up to the fact that Beast is always in his beast form.
