But Beauty and the Beast does not just refer to Disney. There are other films to which the adaptation pays tribute. Like the scene from the beginning where Belle runs to the top of a green hill with her blue dress. It was directly inspired by the musical The Sound of Music , which contains a really similar scene with Julie Andrews .
