at what point in the movie do the characters cross the portal? or will it depend for each character? like for example, if you have the Beast, would he still be a big jerk in the real world because it was before the end of the movie or would he be a bit nicer because he crossed over after the end? agh I'm sorry, I'm not sure if my question makes sense. :/
It makes perfect sense! That is completely up to you. :3 You decide if the movie itself has taken place yet or not. We give you a lot of artistic license there.
