*15 minute convoluted explanation of how, while somewhat arbitrary, the rules are internally consistent within the movie*

And I mean that unironically.

Girl really wants something, sings a song about it, and eventually gets it. Possibly Always meeting a cute guy along the way.

In Beauty and the Beast, he sure as heck ain't cute when she meets him.

And honestly, with that nose, I'm not sure he's cute after he transforms...

I don't like his hair after he transforms. He needs to cut it.
