With two sharp horns and big glowing eyes, the Beetle is a fearsome and elusive beast that has become a myth that parents use to scare their children into behaving. On the outside, he is a classic “villain,” who crashes through a window to kidnap the Acorn Princess. In truth, Beetle is a clumsy and gentle softy. For many years, Beetle and the Flower Prince have had an unlikely and illicit relationship. Cornelia, Flower, and Beetle have planned an apparent “kidnapping” so that the three misfits can escape with their freedom. Beetle speaks with a raspy, ferocious growl that contrasts with his love of pastries, naps, fuzzy animals, and the Flower Prince.
