An academic claims that Disney's Beauty and the Beast is one of the most dangerous films to watch due to its portrayal of threatening male behavior and a problematic relationship between Belle and the Beast. The lecturer argues that the film promotes the idea that a woman can change an abusive partner and that the Beast's transformation into a good-looking prince perpetuates the idea that appearance determines a person's character. However, Emma Watson, who played Belle in the live-action adaptation, disagrees with this interpretation and believes that the relationship in the film is one between equals. The academic also raises concerns about the portrayal of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin as a possession of wealthy, powerful men.
