Gaston really is the most terrifying Disney villain because he could be anyone in the world.
^True.
HOWEVER! (And this is sort of a non sequitur, but it’s what I thought of when I saw this gifset.)
In the movie, the Beast gives Belle the gift of a library, which in contrast to Gaston is supposed to seem progressive.
But Belle is still a prisoner in the Beast’s home, and throughout the movie we see this woman, who starts the film singing about how she dreams of travel and adventure, become complacent in her prison. In fact, the library shown to go a long way toward appeasing whatever negative feelings Belle may have about her captivity.
And in the end of the movie, Belle is shown settling into domesticity as the wife of her prince. Rather than getting an adventure, she is tamed and finds her proper place as a pampered wife. The library ends up being simply an indulgence meant to keep Belle satisfied with being trapped, first as a prisoner and then as a wife with responsibilities because she’s married to a prince.
So, really, the Beast isn’t that progressive. He’s fine with Belle reading, but it seems clear from the movie that this is not because he wants her to live her dreams. Rather, it’s because he’s trying to find a way to make her content with the cage he’s put her in.

Chocolate Lasagna
INGREDIENTS
- 1 package regular Oreo cookies (Not Double Stuff) – about 36 cookies
- 6 Tablespoon butter, melted
- 1- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cold milk
- 1- 12 ounce tub Cool Whip, divided
- 2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding.
- 3 1/4 cups cold milk
- 1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
- Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but you could also place them in a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. When the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.
- Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate the butter into the cookie crumbs. When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.
- Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well. Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
- In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the previous cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.
- Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.
