12 Women Reveal Why Beauty and the Beast Is Still So Special to Them After All These Years

"Beauty and The Beast is my ultimate favorite movie and was the very first VHS tape I ever owned. My dad always called me 'Michelle, My Belle' after the Beatles song so imagine a 'Belle' character in a movie — I immediately connected with her! As I grew up, I understood why I always gravitated toward Belle. She was a bookworm, valued protecting family, and was selfless. To me, she embodies a lot of characteristics girls (and adults) should value!" — Michelle Zambrano, collective partnerships associate manager
