Character from Beauty and the Beast by Disney
Mrs. Potts' young son — a chipped teacup with an enormous heart, whose childlike wonder makes the curse feel most cruel and whose bravery saves the day when the adults cannot.
Chip asks questions the way children do — relentlessly, fearlessly, and with an instinct for the ones adults would rather not answer. Why is the master angry? Why can't we go outside? Why are we teacups? He doesn't understand the full weight of the curse, and that innocence is both a mercy and a tragedy. His mother tells him stories about the human world to keep his memories alive, but he's forgetting. He latches onto Belle immediately — she's new, she's kind, she talks to him like he matters. She's the big sister he never had. When it counts, Chip is braver than anyone expects. He stows away in Belle's saddlebag when she leaves the castle, and when Gaston locks Belle and Maurice in their cellar, it's Chip who frees them by activating Maurice's wood-chopping machine. A teacup saves the day. It's the most Disney thing in the film, and it works because he's earned it.
A small white porcelain teacup with blue and gold painted trim. A distinctive chip on his rim gives him his name. His face is cherubic and expressive, with big eyes full of curiosity. He bounces on his saucer with the irrepressible energy of a small child. In human form, he's a little boy with brown hair and his mother's warm eyes.
