Chip is the castle servant transformed into a teacup in Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast.
Chip is Mrs. Potts's young son and appears as a small, lively teacup after the enchantment changes the castle household into objects. His curiosity and cheerful personality make him one of the film's most recognizable supporting characters.
The enchanted objects are servants who were transformed at the same time as the prince. Their forms correspond loosely to their household duties: Lumière becomes a candelabra, Cogsworth becomes a mantel clock, and Mrs. Potts becomes a teapot. Chip's teacup form reflects his relationship to his mother.
Chip is sometimes mistaken for the castle's unnamed extra cups or for a servant in another adaptation. In the 1991 film, however, he is specifically identified as Mrs. Potts's son and is the speaking child-sized teacup who helps welcome Belle.
