Huge disappointment when he transformed into just some schmuck.
FACT: Belle did NOT know the beast could turn into a human, she was fully prepared to bang him as is

Hollywood literally cannot tell a “looks don’t matter” story without sneaking the looks (or status) back in by the third act. The Beast turning into a generic prince. She’s All That spends ninety minutes insisting personality matters, then resolves it with a makeover. The Princess Diaries goes one further: “you’re fine as you are” turns out to mean “you’re fine as you are, also you’re secretly a princess.”
I don’t think the people writing these endings believe the lesson themselves. An industry that runs on headshots and red carpets isn’t positioned to sell “looks don’t matter” with a straight face, and that disbelief leaks into the third act. Shallow people writing a story about looking past shallowness was always going to end with someone getting hot again. What bugs me is that they sell this corrupted message to our kids, repeating the cycle.

At least Shrek bucked the trend

Yeah he should’ve been turned into a middle aged balding guy with a potbelly. The original story was basically an allegory about arranged marriage. It was written for young girls who would be wedded to an older man. To teach girls that their old future husband might look like an ugly monsters but they might possess a good heart.

Yep. While they had top character designs for the mains, the “transformed prince” looks like a design afterthought, done by the studio apprentice. Not just second tier character, more like a sketchup in a hurry.
I almost expected Belle to say “That’s it? Can I have my beast back, it looked better!”

I refute this Belle had seen the picture of the prince earlier

It’s kinda lucky that she was also into humans, and not exclusively furry.

I wonder if she ever tried to change him back, even for a bit

She was probably super sad the beast turned into a human, as she was only with him to please her furry kink.
The Beauty and the Beast, part 2: Bell tries to deliberately turn her partner into a beast again by consulting all the witches in the region. She hides all the magic potions inside his food, but they appear not to be working properly. At one point she mixes up the dishes, making her eat the magic potion, turning her into a beast. Suddenly, the partner realizes, he was a furry all along.
