In Japan they've opened a new themed restaurant that recreates several scenes from the movie, Gaston's Tavern, the Beast's room, and the Ballroom. It seems very similar in concept to the "Be Our Guest" restaurant in Disney World, but without having to pay the entrance fee into the park (and probably less waiting in line to get in/more reasonable prices!!)
The menu even includes this "Belle lunch" with a Belle-shaped omelette:
Can they open up one of these in Chicago please?? Any Japanese readers or international travelers going to go (Amy, are you anywhere near here?)
Adorable! I wonder if this is licensed though... Well, I guess they kpt it genereic enough not to get into trouble
ReplyDeleteThe original article actually says something about how, since Bell was spelled differently it "clearly wasn't a Disney-run establishment," but the connections seem obvious to me! Beauty in a yellow dress, even the fact that there's a tavern...
DeleteNot to mention that calling her "Belle" wouldn't be a copyright infringement at all, since "Belle" is her name in the original French.
DeleteOh wow, this looks super cute! Belle-shaped omelette is just amazing, how do they even make that?! I'd love to visit, but unfortunately Yokohama is very far from where I live :(
ReplyDeleteBummer! I guess we'll all have to experience it vicariously...
