My wife and I try to slalom around most of these "grown up" themes, but 
one I haven't been able to find a good explanation for is when the Beast 
and Gaston are fighting on the castle roof and Gaston loses his footing, 
  the Beast (who's now good) tries to catch him but Belle yanks him back 
and Gaston falls to his death.  Almost a year after seeing it, my 
daughter still tears up from time to time because she can't understand 
why Belle was mean like that.
