When Chip was turned into an object (like the other servants and inhabitants inside the castle, aside from the Beast) he took the form of a small teacup with a chip in the side, his mother, Mrs. Potts, took the form of a large teapot. Creation The story in which Chip stars in, Beauty and the Beast, was written and adapted by several different authors throughout history; however, the most popular version was written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Disney decided to take this version of the tale, alter it slightly to make it more child-friendly, and adapt it as an animated feature.
