True Love's Kiss
In fairy tales, a true love's kiss is a motif and commonly used trope whereby a kiss from a "true love" possesses magical powers and holds significant importance. History The phrase "true love's kiss" in storytelling is recorded as early as the 16th century. In William Shakespeare's '' Richard III'', the title character uses the phrase "Bear her my true love's kiss" in act 4, scene 4. In 1697, '' Mother Goose Tales'', written by Charles Perrault, included the concept of a magical true love's kiss from the prince to awaken the princess from her 100-year slumber. The Brothers Grimm used the same motif in their adaptation of "Sleeping Beauty", "" ("Little Briar Rose". Another early example of true love's kiss can be found in the Grimms' "The True Bride" (), in which the heroine breaks the spell over her prince (an evil princess bewitched him to forget her) with true love's kiss.

La Belle Et La Bête (fairy Tale)
''Beauty and the Beast'' (french: La Belle et la Bête) is a fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in ''La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins'' (''The Young American and Marine Tales'').

Ursula The Sea-Witch
Ursula is a fictional character who appears as the main antagonist in Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film ''The Little Mermaid'' (1989). Voiced by American actress Pat Carroll, Ursula is a villainous sea witch who offers a mermaid princess named Ariel a temporary opportunity to become human so that she may earn the love of Prince Eric within three days. However, Ursula is, in fact, determined to sabotage Ariel's chances so that she can ultimately usurp King Triton's position as ruler of the oceans. Created by directors and screenwriters Ron Clements and John Musker, Ursula is based on the sea witch character who appears in the 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen. However, her minor role was greatly expanded into that of a much more prominent villain for the film. Disney had struggled to cast Ursula for a year, during which the role was well sought after by several coveted television actresses at the time. Clements and Musker disagreed wi ...
