Disney Just Launched A 'Beauty & The Beast' Dishware Line & You'll Want Every Piece

by Callie Tansill-Suddath

Only Disney can make an anthropomorphized teapot a beloved film character. One of the most memorable scenes from Beauty and the Beast involves a musical number in the palace with the kitchen items and a candelabra. The animated scene is more akin to that from a live Broadway production than a cartoon as Belle whooshes around in her iconic golden gown. Mrs. Potts, Chip, Cogsworth, and Lumiere all play notable roles in the number.

It would be difficult to create this seen exactly outside of the movie, but now you can channel it with the Beauty and the Beast dishware line.

Before there were movies that fully embrace food and serving it as central plot themes, there was Beauty and the Beast. The 1991 film follows a young girl from a small French village in her search for her missing father. She discovers he has been taken prisoner by a prince-turned-beast, and finds much more than she bargained for. It is a story of adventure, sacrifice and the many different forms of love. Is legacy has carried on over 25 years, and even became a live action film in 2017.

The struggle to emulate one's love of Disney as an adult has been brought up before. Those who fail to understand the Disney lifestyle see it as purely kids' stuff. Next time someone dismisses your soft spot for gentle, bookish princesses in luxurious golden gowns, show them the elegant pieces available on shopDisney now.

This long, fabric table runner is the perfect way to tie the entire set together. The black fabric is sketched with fine white designs that match those featured on the pieces in the rest of the collection.
