I always get these characters who have more hair than I can ever hope for. Aladdin, Pocahontas, even The Beast. It's one of those cruel ironies
[about the transformation scene in Beauty and the Beast (1991)] It's really about an inner spiritual transformation that is taking place with the Beast and I saw it as a parable of my life that I got to express that. It was sincere. It was real for me. It was very real for the prince. I don't know that there ever is an illustration more clear as to what really can take place in a person's life spiritually than this animated character transforming from an animal to the prince.
