So why'd he get better?

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's a Disney movie. I never said it was a good allegory. But the isolation and people treating him like he's a monster seem about right.

Or maybe that allegory can be that AIDs is not nearly as dangerous (contagious) as people [used to] think.

Though I do have to say these days the whole freak-out over AIDs is pretty-much over. People now know how to avoid it, and there is plenty of treatment to slow it down, even if it can't be cured.

People are aware that Disney didn't invent the tale? That literally everything about cursed-beast-man-is-cured comes from a story written a hundred years ago?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Though Disney is also well-known for using old tales to convey more than just the original moral they might have had.

I would say The Little Mermaid has lost most - if not all - of the self-sacrificing moral tale the original story had in favour of having the romance (and the whole story) have a happy end.

The same can be said for Frozen, since the story it was very loosely based on was about a pair of pre-teen friends, and the girl going on an epic journey to rescue the boy with the eponymous Snow Queen kidnapped him.

If someone in Disney wanted to think of Beauty and the Beast as an allegory for AIDs, that's up to them. I do however agree that it wasn't the best allegory for an incurable disease.
