Editorial Review

Reenact all the magic and mystery of Disney's Beauty and the Beast with this 14-inch-tall interactive Belle doll. Dressed in her blue frock with white apron, young girls can have her dance through the village while shopping, or have her sing at home while helping her father. Arriving at the castle, she can step on the included map to trigger ticking clocks, creaking doors, and other sound effects. When meeting the castle's residents, each one can be placed in her right hand to talk to her--Lumiére guides her way, Mrs. Potts offers encouragement, and Cogsworth makes sure Belle is on time to the ball. Change her into her yellow gown and shoes and rose necklace and she's ready to dance the night away. Also included are an interactive mirror with pictures of the beast, the prince, and the rose, and a hairbrush to use on Belle's long brown hair. --Pam Lauer

Disappointed in Belle! My 4 year old did not play with it as I thought she would (since she loves the movie & other belle dolls). Pieces are very small and get lost easily. Dressing was difficult. Overall not that impressive for the price.

This review is from: My Interactive Princess Belle (Toy)

This doll was very disapointing. I bought it on my Birthday shopping spree and it only took 5 minutes for me to think it was totally boring. I bought it because Beauty And The Beast is my favorite disney movie and I wanted to hear the characters and display the doll as a "souviner" of all the time I spent as a toddler watching the disney movie and thinking Belle was the coolest disney princess ever. The doll was talking to me like a person would talk to a 1 year old, talking in a corney voice, saying she was nervous about meeting the beast and telling me to change her outfit. For Belle to recognize her outfit you have to put in an outfit contact, a wire conection plastic piece which would be very complicated for a young child. The little characters are very hard to place directly in Belle's hand which also makes it complicated. From the package you'd think it came with an interactive map but it is just a paper that rips and crinkles in a small period of time. It comes with 2 necklaces, shoes, most of the main characters and 2 dresses, all things that are pretty easy to lose. Belle's head, eyes and nose are completley oversized like the doll in general. She is kind of chubby and hard to pose. One of her shoes has a really weired heel and is hard to get on and falls off alot. I tried to display her in my biggest doll chair and she fell over a few days later. It takes a long, long time to dress her, and if you haven't done so in 30 seconds, Belle claims she's tiered and says she wants to take a nap, then if it really takes to long, she'll shut of automaticly. It is VERY,VERY annoying. For the price of [X], I sure got something that didn't intrigue me for to long. This doll completly changed my perspective of Belle. Overall, I suggest you NOT buy this toy and buy something that will keep your child busy for more than 15 minutes. I personelly suggest a MyScene or a Bratz doll.

I also purchased a cinderella doll similar to belle and was very disappointed. Her arm broke off within a month or two of purchase. Unfortunately, it was off the shelves in stores and i recieved no customer service from the playmates manufacturer. (I read that same thing happened in other reviews). The doll was difficult to dress and frustrated my 4 yr old because she couldn't get it dressed fast enough to go along with the story. Overall I wish I hadn't bought this toy! Not worth the money!
