That’s One Beast Of A Plot Hole

(My three-year-old daughter is watching ‘Beauty and the Beast’, when my husband suddenly pauses the movie.)

Daughter: “Hey! Daddy!”

Me: “Why’d you pause it?”

Husband: “I was just thinking…at the beginning, the guy said the rose would bloom until his 21st birthday. In the song, the candle says they’ve been enchanted for ten years. So, this prince was ten or eleven years old when he was changed into a beast. Seems a little unfair, don’t you think?”

Me: “I never really thought about it.”

Husband: “Also, how did the villagers not notice that their monarch had just kind of dropped off the face of the earth?”

Me: “You’re really over-analyzing this. It’s a movie directed at little kids.”

Husband: “But seriously, think about it!”
