Belle's mother

Belle's Mother was the unnamed, deceased maternal figure of Belle and wife of Maurice in the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast. Although, she was to have been mentioned in the original 1989 screenplay of the film, she was never brought up at all in the final cut. However, a portrait of her reading to a younger Belle can be seen on the wall inside the replica of Belle's cottage that is a part of the Enchanted Tales with Belle  walkthrough attraction located within the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
