I was asked to make a Jim & Belle video a while back... and I just now got around to do it lol.
Actually, this is more of a practice run for me. I haven't been making anything new since my last upload (oh wow, a week? lol) What I mean is nothing serious/worth the time and effort like I usually do. First off, I was taking a week off with my family, and then out of nowhere I got this urge to make another video, but I had no idea of how to even start. Plus, my external hard drive was absent during the week, and all I had on my laptop was Beauty & The Beast and Treasure Planet *lol.
So naturally, I just started working with them until I got home, and then I added in some extra scenes from Cinderella and such ^^
Okay, enough blabbering, I guess I can go on about the video now:
~VIDEO:
Basically, Belle trades herself in to save her father from imprisonment. During her stay, she meets Jim, who's a servant of the palace, HOWEVER, Jim is not forced to stay like Belle is, in fact, he's a drifter ^^ (I tried following the lyrics while turning them into something that I wanted it to be, like how Belle dreams of traveling the world and such, and then she finds Jim who does just that - BINGO! haha, just kidding...)
The part where she seemingly runs away from the castle (or from Jim, whichever you prefer lol) That's open to interpretation because I was just following the lyrics (*Fail) I personally see it as her being afraid to fall in love (if you're strict with age, then yeah, that could be your reason, but its all up to the individual viewers)
Then of course, things turn canon-ish after the Beast saves her, and then they become friends, but then Jim starts to get jealous and he eventually leaves... like he would have anyway XD
However, he stays near her town with hopes that he would see her again somehow. Meanwhile, Belle is missing Jim, and then the following night, she gets permission to see both her father and Jim through the mirror, and that's when things take a whole other turn ^^
*NOTE: Jim sort of became like a caretaker to Belle's father after he left the castle. He made it his obligation to help her father out while Belle was gone. *Aww*
The ending may be vague because I know people will be asking "what happened to the beast?". Well... that's up to you too lol. Personally I'd like to think that he moved on eventually (no I didn't consider the rose because I like working with a clean slate, and the rose was not part of the layout) But its up to you...
Okay, now that most of it is explained, I'll just rant again. See, I didn't put much effort into this because it was more like practice for me (as stated before). Plus, I just trying out new things, such as the "disappearing of Belle" scene. I kind of thought it was too much like the regular movies we see, where a character is walking by and then they disappear after a vehicle drives by... anyone seen that before? Well, that's where I got it from to make it look like Jim was just seeing things. And I know most people droll over some new manips of crossover couples, but I didn't pay attention to that because I was just trying to tell a story, so if you were looking for something "New", and "Original" when it came to manips... then I'm sorry, I don't think I impressed much of anyone today lol. But I don't care anyway, I had fun while making this, even though I don't really consider it a complete project because of my reasons stated before, but hey, it sort of worked I think...
P.S - Still not a Belle + Jim fan... so don't expect anything like THIS to appear on my channel again - sorry but that's how I feel. ^_^
This is really good, seriously. Like, I've only seen a couple others with as good editing as this. I also like the story too, watching this makes me wanna write a fan-fic based on this storyline, so I guess I'm asking, can I use the story? I'll expand on it some, but basically keep the general plot.
Anyways, amazing video!

Aww thank you! And yes, feel free to write the story. When you get started just send me a link to it so I can add it to the description, if you don't mind. I'll love to read it too.

Oooooo! I totally love this! And have people really given you a hard time when it comes to canon vs crossover? That's kind of ridiculous -_- Once again, I'm floored by your manip skills and your storytelling ability just keeps getting better and better!

With Non/Disney, I don't get much complaints with canon and crossovers, so that's good. But with my Pokevids, I get NUMEROUS complaints about shippings and stuff, which is why I stopped making Pokevids.
And thank you! It means a lot to me when viewers say something about my editing. I can only get better if I'm told that I'm improving, so thank you!

I sorta like this couple. but I feel sorta grossed out. because I do like Jim and Belle together only like Bro and Sis or Mom and Son. But really great job!

I understand how you feel. I was a bit bothered when I made the ending, but I did my best to finish it anyway for those who requested a video like this. Actually, this may not make it look better but I did see Jim to be around 17 in this video ^^
I don't know why but he just seemed older for this part...
Anyway, thank you!
