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

"I related to Belle more than any other Disney princess from the very first time I saw Beauty and the Beast. Growing up, I was tough, fiercely protective of my family and friends, and took no sh*t from anyone, especially boys (and I still don't). Belle taught me that you can be firm but loving in your own way. She didn't care about being pretty and dressed up all the time; she was strong, independent, and didn't sacrifice her values for anyone." — Caitlin Hacker, editor, Celebrity
