Movie poster for Belle Other movies by Mamoru Hosoda You may know these movies by Mamoru Hosoda. They have all been well received in the world of anime. There is another movie by Hosoda that got a raw deal. Even though it was watched and enjoyed by many, and the critics gave it an "ok" rating, it didn't receive the fanfare it probably should've. This movie, Belle, was essentially the anime version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Photo of main protagonist, Belle/Suzu In Bell
