Who was the father of Chip the teacup in Beauty and the Beast?

Asked by YARNLADY (46378points) November 5th, 2011

I am watching Walt Disney’s Beauty and the beast right now. The enchantment has lasted for several years, but Chip (son of Mrs. Potts) is a child. Who was his father?

I did a bit of a search and I can’t find any mention of his father @YARNLADY. Hope someone knows!

I think teapots reproduce asexually.

Chip is under a spell so his father was probably a sauceror.

When they were humans I think the father was working in another place in the house [not the kitchen] so we might never know.

He’s hiding out with the mothers of Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella, Pocahontas, and Snow White. Lucky guy.

I would think as as enchanted article he might be a kettle.
As a member of the household staff then maybe part of some of the business outside at the castle. Part of the farming, or woodcutting or other business and not present when things changed.
Perhaps he was not part of the enchantment?

Perhaps Mrs. Potts didn’t think she could get pregnant while being tea bagged.

I think it was Pinocchio, in the parlor with a screwdriver.

Well being a servant what typically happened is they had affairs with the masters of the home and any children whom came from the affair would be illegitimate so he could have been the beasts child or the child of some prior person mrs potts worked for.

Chip Potts is Mrs.Potts son. They were human until they had a spell put on them.

In Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas he is shown as a child, implying that the spell stopped him and the other servants from ageing during the ten year period. [Wikipedia]

So who knows, maybe Pott was high and can’t remember a thing and doesn’t want to start baby mama drama..I think they need Maury for a silverware test.
