Disney References in Skin Deep!

1) Obviously, the characters's names!
-Sir Maurice, quite different from his Disney counterpart as a wacky inventor! Still, they both care for their daughter, Belle! His Storybrooke counterpart's name Moe French references the Disney movie being set in France!

-Gaston, he appears to be as superficial as his Disney counterpart. Think about it when he says 'The young lady is engaged, to me'.



-Of course, who can forget Belle?! As well as her gold & blue dresses resembling the ones from the film, she's seen holding a blue book against her chest, referencing her love for reading & her favourite book which has a blue cover in the Disney film! Also she calls her father Papa like in the film!






2) One word: Chip! The chipped cup which symbolises Belle's & Rumpel's love is of course a reference to Chip, the cute tea cup from the Disney movie!



3) There's clearly a candelabra & a clock which references Lumiere & Cogsworth in Rumpel's castle behind him when he talks to Belle about her old life & Gaston!






4) Gaston in his rose form is a reference to the Beast's enchanted rose which would bloom until he was 21!




5) Rumpelstiltskin's bad temper mirrors that of the Beast's.

6) Rumplestiltskin's mirror may be a reference to the one which can show anything as the Magic Mirror is implied to be able to look through any mirror.

7) Rumpel even references the song Belle my calling Maurice's land 'a little town', as well as referencing the beggar woman in the prologue of the film, by saying the person at the door who was really Gaston was 'just an old woman selling flowers'.
8) The kiss from Broken could be considered similar to the one at the end of the film!




9)The shot of Belle & Rumpelstiltskin in the dungeon when she gives him her'empty heart' speech is similar to the one when Belle takes Maurice's place as the Beast's prisoner!
