In honor of the classic Disney movie's 25th anniversary, here are 10 important things that I learned from Beauty and the Beast.

1. Not fitting in can be a good thing.

When you love who you are, nothing can stand in your way. Especially this provincial life.

2. Sometimes the only thing we need to conquer is actually ourselves.

Letting your guard down can lead to new discoveries.

3. Don't judge a book by its cover.

People aren't always who they make themselves out to be.

4. What's inside is always more important than what's on the outside.

Sometimes we just have to give people a chance.

5. Embrace your weird quirks.

Because someone else will learn to love them, too.

6. Put the ones you love before yourself.

Because in the end they'll always come back.

7. Popular people aren't always the best role models.

They may not always have the best intentions.

8. Control your temper.

A little kindness can go a long way if you try hard enough.

9. Always stick up for yourself and what is right.

Don't be afraid to take a stance.

10. Love always finds a way.

There may be some hardships, but it's always worth it in the end.

As Disney's 30th animated feature film, "Beauty and the Beast" isn't your typical Disney movie. This tale as old as time is one for the books, just like the classic life lessons it portrays.
