Does anybody know if there were sisters in the original fairy tale, or if that is maybe a bit from the poet's life? There are no sisters in the Disney movie, so I'm curious.

Generally, there are sisters in folktale sources for Beauty and the Beast. They are never as kind, though. I'm guessing they cut them from the Disney movie to make it easier to follow.
