"Belle dressing for dinner" (belledrs.gif, 456x600x2, 12564 bytes) is the nineteenth in a continuing series of fine Disney fanart drawings by Bob Ito . One of the more endearing scenes in Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST occurs when Beast is preparing for his formal date with Belle, just before the breathtaking ballroom dance. Who could forget his nervous banter with Lumiere as he makes himself presentable to the woman to whom he has given his heart? But Lumiere is not the only person (well, object :-) working hard to make this a special night for the couple. This drawing depicts what we might have seen had Belle been the focus of this scene. And as she prepares for a wonderful evening, another of the Enchanted Objects assists while looking on with love and hope. Bob Ito's fanart drawings are archived at: ftp://ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu/pub/disney/images/ito/ http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~dacut/fdc.html Contact the archive maintainer, David Cuthbert for more details, and Bob for comments and queries on the drawings. Please ftp during off-peak hours if possible (4am-11am PST, GMT -0800). Unlike many of Bob's drawings, this image is too large to post to the non-binary newsgroups, as they usually are. If you cannot access the binary picture newsgroups and can't ftp, please drop me a line and I'll be happy to email you a copy. If you would like to receive scans of future drawings as they become available (whenever Bob feels like doing 'em, and I get around to scanning and posting 'em :-) please drop me a line and I'll add you to the distribution list.
