"Beast Blanket Bingo" (blanket.gif, 704x966x2, 23335 bytes) is the
forty eighth in a continuing series of fine Disney fanart drawings by
Bob Ito <ito@[...]>.  You may wish to save this
description in a separate file for future reference.

The cast of Beauty and the Beast must have a particular fondness for
beaches, as they appear on the beach in a few of Bob Ito's drawings. 
In this installment, we have Belle starring as Annette Funicello in a
remake of one of those beach movies that the "Mouseketeer that growed
up" made during the sixties.

Since my archive predecessor provided a song parody for the "Beauty
and the Beach" drawing (Ito Galleries #16, batbeach.gif), I've
decided to try my hand at doing one for this image.  Think of this
song as being sung by the Beast Boys...

    Little beauty, on the beach,
    Are your charms so out of reach?
    Do you love me, do you Surfer Belle?
    (Little Belle, our petite Surfer Belle)

    I've watched you for a spell,
    You're a hot one, mad-moi-selle!
    Do you love me, do you Surfer Belle?
    (Surfer Belle, Surfer Belle)

    We could live our lives together,
    And have good times and then...
    On the beach, I could kiss you
    Again and again!

    So I tell you in my arms,
    "Stay away from Gaston's charms!"
    Say you love me, won't you Surfer Belle?
    (Surfer Belle, my little Surfer Belle)
    (Surfer Belle, my little Surfer Belle)
