* FandomRivalry: Belle vs [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ariel]] given that they are the first two 'modern' Disney Princesses. Arguments would frequently hold Belle up as a better attempt at a feminist princess than Ariel. But as time has gone on, arguments have gone the other way - criticizing Belle for seeming unrealistically perfect and not really growing or changing throughout the film, and Ariel's fans saying that she's flawed but still a good character who is more initiative-based. If an argument about whether Ariel is feminist or not starts, expect her to be compared to Belle in some way.
** It's worth pointing out that Paige O'Hara wrote the foreword for Jodi Benson's memoir, so this does not extend to the creators even in the slightest.

** Sometime overlaps with FriendlyFandoms, fans of [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946 Cocteau's 1946 movie]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Disney's take]] can have heated debate each other over which version is better.

Disney fans, on the other hand, while some respects the older version for what its merits, thought the Cocteau version to be worn-out, boring, and pretentious.

* HesJustHiding: There are still a great many people (even his ''voice actor'', of all people) who believe that Gaston could still be alive, even after WordOfGod confirmed (well, mostly confirmed, at least, [[WordOfSaintPaul since his voice actor begs to differ]]) that he did, in fact, perish.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Gaston has a large fanbase who are willing to overlook the fact that he is a sexist, arrogant, jealous and eventually murderous man who intends to force Belle into a loveless marriage, with his ''second'' scene in the film having him set up a ''wedding ceremony'' outside Belle's house and pressuring Belle into accepting his proposal. Some of his fans even think Belle is either crazy for rejecting him, or a stupid bitch who didn't deserve him anyway. Also many say that Gaston is a saint compared to the Beast (who in turn gets the RonTheDeathEater treatment), even overlooking the whole 'forcing Belle's father to be committed to an insane asylum to blackmail Belle into marrying him' plot.
