The feminist veneer aligns with Watson’s ideology, but it also has the handy benefit of harnessing the  growing marketing appeal  of gender equality. And lo, there are  dozens  of  headlines   connecting   Beauty and the Beast  with  feminism , each doing remarkable twists to excuse the inexcusable fact that sweet, beautiful Belle is being held captive by an immoral beast and shows clear signs of Stockholm Syndrome by falling in love with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtMn25mqMuU

The actress Emma Watson has made a point of portraying her latest movie, Disney’s  Beauty and the Beast , as feminist film. Watson  told Vanity Fair  that she worked with Disney to update her character for the live-action version of its 1991 cartoon: In this latest version, Belle wears more practical clothing, is an inventor in her own right (rather than her father’s assistant), and often asserts her love of reading. Watson even asked renowned feminist writer Gloria Steinem to watch the film and make sure it aligned with feminist principles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BICVLMsTmwc
