Mrs. Potts made her first appearance in Walt Disney's 1991 film, ''Beauty and the Beast''. The idea that she and the other servants appear as enchanted household objects was originally suggested by the movie's lyricist, Howard Ashman. Thus, she was an entirely original character by Disney, having never appeared in other incarnations of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' story prior to Disney's version.
Mrs. Potts made her first appearance in Walt Disney's 1991 film, ''Beauty and the Beast''. She, like the other castle's residents, were turned into household objects by an enchantress as punishment for Prince Adam's cold heart. Many years later, Belle's father, Maurice, stumbles upon the castle to escape wild wolves and Mrs. Potts and the other servants warmly welcome him. However, the prince (now known as the Beast) discovers his and locks Maurice in the dungeon as Mrs. Potts and the servants sadly watch. When Belle arrives at the castle in search for her father, Mrs. Potts, Chip, witness this and quickly goes to inform her. Mrs. Potts, however, does not believe until another servant, Fifi, announced it. After Belle agrees to stay at the castle so her father could go free, Mrs. Potts and Chip serve tea to her in her bedroom, comforting an upset Belle. On the night that Beast invited Belle to dine with him, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts attempt to teach Beast how to act like a gentleman, a task that was quite difficult.
 
Throughout the film, Mrs. Potts and the other servants observe Beast and Belle's budding romance, giving them hope that the curse will be broken and they will revert back into humans. However, Cogsworth soon informs Mrs. Potts and the others that the Beast release Belle as his prisoner so she could go and care for her sick father. Later, when Gaston (the film's antagonist) storms the castle with angry villagers in pursuit for the Beast, Mrs. Potts and the other servants defend castle. After the Beast and Belle confess their love each other, the curse was broken, transforming Mrs. Potts and the other castle's residents into humans, and a ball was held to celebrate.
