You can thank that idiot Linda Woolverton for removing her, because apparently leaving her with a sister would somehow not emphasize her loneliness (and yet they had the Bimbettes being implied to set up that wedding for her without even knowing about Gaston being the groom, having a friendly rapport with the bookseller, and kept her dad...). But, hey, at least that excuse does have some train of thought to it, the cutting of Aunt Marguerite was far worse, as it left Belle without an appropriate foil for the moral of the tale (no, those blonde triplets don't qualify as an appropriate foil, since we never see them actually being ugly in behavior in the film).
