Beauty and the Beast Falling in Love
Art Notes
Of all the Disney love stories, perhaps Beauty and the Beast is the most poignant. Beast’s true identity is a charming prince who is discovering love in the form of the beautiful Belle. In my painting I memorialize that magic moment when they first begin to discover their love for each other. Many of the characters from the movie are present, including Belle’s eccentric father Maurice, the wonderful characters of Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and of course, Lumiere. In the distance, we see the village that is a central setting for many of the film’s most important moments. As with every piece in my Disney Dreams Collection, I attempted to portray a panorama of the entire movie, rather than an individual scene. My desire is that the viewer’s eye would wander around the painting making discoveries in every corner of the image. Beauty and the Beast Falling in Love represents, in my mind, my highest accomplishment so far in the Disney Dreams Collection.
The crowning achievement and the central discovery in the image is the sweeping sense of romance that is at the core of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale. Here truly is unconditional love in its purest form. I hope you sense that love every time you look upon Beauty and the Beast Falling in Love.

Hi, I was just wondering what the order of Disney Dreams collection was.
Hi Rachel,
Here is a link to the Disney Dreams Collection: https://thomaskinkade.com/art-collection/disney-dreams/ The paintings in this collection are displayed with the newest first (Fantasia) and the oldest last (Snow White Discovers the Cottage). Thank you for being a Thomas Kinkade Disney Fan!
Hi, thank you for the link. I’m just a little confused because I read in another comment that there are 17 puzzles in the disney dreams collection but there are only 12 puzzles in the link that was sent. I was wondering what the other puzzles were that are in the collection. Also, are Tangled and Peter Pan part of the Disney Dreams Collection or a separate collection?
I see Peter Pan now on the list but was still wondering if the Tangled one was part of the collection.

I am working on the Beauty and the Beast Puzzle and I noticed the mice from Cinderella, Gus-Gus and the other little guy. Was this intentional? I love your images and really enjoy the puzzles.
Donna, thank you for being a Thomas Kinkade Disney fan! We are so glad you like the puzzle version of this painting. Thomas Kinkade did hide characters from various Disney films in his paintings for a period of time. We are glad you enjoyed finding them!
I also wondered that and found tinkerbell in it also

Hello, we bought the beauty and the beast painting on a cruise that we want on a while back and just hung it in our living room. We love it! But I was wondering if you could tell me how many hidden Easter egg characters are in there? I thought when we bought it they told us that there was Cinderella‘s carriage somewhere in the painting as well as Peter Pan, but I can’t see it any longer. Can you tell me how many I should be looking for, or is there a map to where they might be? Thanks again for the beautiful artwork Thomas.
Hello Robyn,
There is no map of where the different hidden characters are in the image. Much of the fun with this image is sitting and looking and finding each one! But in this particular image, there are 6 different characters or groups (such as Jac and Gus from Cinderella) hidden in the image. There are 7 hidden N’s in honor of his wife Nanette and 5 hearts and 6 sailboats.
