Vintage Disney Store Beauty and the Beast Belle Footed Pedestal Princess Coffee Mug

"Tale as old as time, true as it can be"

This is a very rare 1990's bone china coffee mug sold in the Disney Store of Princess Belle from the 1991 animated feature film Beauty And The Beast.  The mug is pre owned but unused, having been displayed in a Disney collection.  This is your chance to purchase this very difficult to find mug before the new live action film featuring Emma Watson as Belle debuts on March 17, 2017.   The front features Belle on the front holding a red rose in her iconic yellow ballgown, and on the back is written the opening lines from the title song "Tale as old as time, true as it can be" in gold.

Beauty and the Beast is the 30th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series and the third in the Disney Renaissance period.  Based on the French fairy tale of the same name by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the story focuses on the relationship between the Beast, a prince who is magically transformed into a monster as punishment for his arrogance, and Belle, a beautiful young woman whom he imprisons in his castle.  Belle is a bibliophilic and beautiful young girl who seeks adventure and offers her own freedom to the Beast in return for her father's.  The Beast is a young prince who is transformed into a beast by a beautiful enchantress as punishment for his arrogance.  To become a prince again, Beast must win her love, or risk the fate of remaining a monster forever.
