In Disney's Beauty and the Beast stage musical, the Beast's enchanted footstool is named Sultan.
Sultan is a small dog transformed into a footstool by the enchantment affecting the castle staff. The character appears as part of the household ensemble and provides visual comedy during the stage adaptation. Unlike the principal servants, Sultan does not have a major solo or an extensive speaking role.
The stage musical expanded the animated film into a full evening production, adding songs such as “Home,” “If I Can't Love Her,” and “Me.” It also developed the castle's servants for live performance, requiring practical stage representations of objects that were animated in the film.
Sultan is sometimes confused with other animal characters associated with the story, especially Philippe, Belle's horse, or with the Beast's human identity. Sultan's unusual transformation is specific to the stage musical rather than the original 1991 animated film.
