 The dance between Belle and her Prince in the finale is actually  reused animation of the dance between Princess Aurora and Prince  Phillip in _Sleeping Beauty (1959)_ (qv). The original  _Sleeping Beauty (1959)_ (qv) pair had been drawn over to become the  new _Beauty and the Beast (1991)_ (qv) pair, and this was done  because they were running out of time during the production of the  movie.
