Continuity mistake: After leaving the Bookseller store, in an overhead shot Belle passes a shop just as a woman is pouring water towards the downspout, and in the next shot the shop suddenly has a large hanging pipe sign with a table under the window, the green shutters have vanished on the right window, the half-timber wall pattern and wood trim have changed, etc.






Answer: In the prologue, it states that the Beast must find true love by his 21st birthday, and that he had been cursed for ten years, so since his relationship with Belle takes place as the deadline approaches, he must have been 10 when he was cursed.
