The timeline also seems VERY wonky. Maurice appears to arrive home on Belle’s first night in the castle. He quickly leaves again to find her. He gets lost and sick in the woods, and Belle goes to him, ending her time confined in the castle and jump-starting the climax of the film. This can only have been a few days, considering A) it didn’t seem like Maurice had enough supplies to last long in the wilderness alone, and B) Le Fou is posted up outside Belle and Maurice’s home the entire time they’re gone. Gaston tells him not to move, and it’s clear from his being half-frozen that he hasn’t. Except…multiple seasons are shown from the castle, and there’s a whole Christmas movie suggesting the holidays happened while Belle was in the castle, too.
