i don’t get the beauty and the beast one. What is happening to the child?

Belle has been kidnapped, and if you notice where her hand is and how she is sitting i interpret that as being forced to touch herself.

@Han I’m not sure but I guess it’s ‘The Brave Tin Soldier (The Steadfast Tin Soldier)’ from Hans Christian Anderson.
