Hi.

Just wanted to let you know that the WGF (Writer Guild Foundation) has included since 2014 a full collection of production materials for several of Linda Woolverton's stuff, including Beauty and the Beast, and such is designated into three parts. You'll need a plane ticket to Los Angeles to be able to see it, however, since you can only find it at the WGF Archival Library in that area, and there are no online copies. The collection is divided into three parts. The first deals with materials related to Beauty and the Beast. The second deals with the live action Alice films, and the third deals with the Maleficent movie. The first part should be of particular interest to both you and me due to it containing the following content:


 * handwritten notes from Jeffrey Katzenberg
 * beat outline
 * character notes
 * script outline
 * screenplay

The character notes are especially of importance, since that might have us get a glimpse as to what exactly Woolverton and Katzenberg may have had in mind with the Bimbettes. I'd go myself, but I still need to find a job and get some hours into the job before I can consider getting a plane ticket to Los Angeles (that, and California's already a mess right now as it is). Besides, I'm not even sure how I can get all that information down, especially when I can't simply use my phone to photograph the pages for later research on my own time (especially when I myself am very interested in finding out more). However, if you want to get that information, and you have the ability to do so, feel free to do it.
