“Beauty and the Beast” was arguably the worst, but none of them are particularly memorable.

Yeah, being tall is actually worse for you than being fat.

I don’t care about spoilers, for myself, but it might be worth clarifying in the opening paragraphs that adults who’ve seen Clone Wars and/or Rebels won’t need this explainer.
