While Snow White includes many components that illustrate the idea of beauty is more than skin deep, Beauty and the Beast most effectively demonstrates this because the Beast is a true prince in disguise. Snow White is always a beautiful woman, with a kind soul. The only time she struggles with seeing beneath the surface is when the Evil Queen poisons her, and even then, the queen isn't dressed or disguised beautifully. In Beauty and the Beast however, the hideous monster that Belle thinks she will never be able to fall in love with, turns out to not only be the handsome prince of her dreams, but also is a truly wonderful soul that she falls in love with on its own.
