− | Chip appears in a much smaller role in the musical, omitting the scene where he rescues Belle and Maurice from the cellar, for example, due to the technical and practical limitations. He is seen as a disembodied head shaped like a teacup that's on a cart covered by a tablecloth pushed around by Mrs. Potts. In one scene he is a puppet on a tray that is carried by her. He kicks off the number "[[Human Again]]", mentioning the hope he feels when Belle and the Beast begin to form a friendship that the rest of the castle staff agree they feel too. His siblings are not seen, nor are they mentioned, thus it can be assumed in this variation he is an only child. The character was originated on Broadway by Brian Press, with a notable replacement being [[Nick Jonas]]. | ||

Chip Potts is the son of Mrs. Potts and a supporting character in Disney's 1991 animated feature film Beauty and the Beast.
As a human, Chip is a seven-year-old boy who works with Mrs. Potts in the castle kitchens. Like the other inhabitants of the castle, he was cursed by the Enchantress. When Mrs. Potts was transformed into a teapot, Chip was likewise transformed into a teacup. At the end of the film, once Belle and the Beast fell in love, Chip is magically restored to his human form. He has five brothers named Marie, Pierre, Catherine, Margaret, and Louis.
Chip is adventurous and constantly curious about the world around him. He is a cheerful and active young boy and (like his mother and the rest of the staff) is shown to have a great fear of the Beast's temper. He is also shown to be very brave and heroic as shown in the first film, where he saves Belle and her father, Maurice, in order for them to rescue the Beast from Gaston and the angry mob. He loves Belle very much and views her as his big sister and best friend. As is normal of curious boys his age, he apparently has an overactive imagination; when he comes rushing in to inform Mrs. Potts that there is a girl (Belle) in the castle, she scolds him for making up such tall tales.
In the movie, Chip is Mrs. Potts' son, who gets turned into a teacup under the spell of the Enchantress. He is first seen having tea poured into him for Maurice to drink. When Maurice drinks the tea, he tickles Chip with his mustache, making Chip laugh. The Beast then storms in and Chip hides behind Mrs. Potts and watches sadly as the Beast grabs Maurice and takes him to the dungeon.
When Belle comes to the castle looking for Maurice, Chip comes into the kitchen telling Mrs. Potts that there's a girl in the castle. Mrs. Potts initially doesn't believe him and puts him into the tub. Then Fifi the feather duster shows up and says that she saw a girl in the castle, to which Chip pops up from the tub and says, "See? I told ya!"
Later, Mrs. Potts and Chip bring Belle some tea. Mrs. Potts then pours tea into Chip and he shows Belle a trick (blowing bubbles), for which Mrs. Potts reprimands him. Belle then tells them about losing Maurice and dreams, but Mrs. Potts tells her everything will be all right and leaves with Chip.
When Belle brings Beast back to the castle after being attacked by wolves Chip watches as Belle tends to the Beast's wound and they become the best of friends. When Beast gives Belle his library, Chip watches with Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Fifi. Chip asks Mrs. Potts what the Beast and Belle are talking about, but she sends him into the kitchen as there are chores to be done.
When Belle leaves the castle to find Maurice, Cogsworth tells Lumiere, Chip, and Mrs. Potts and Chip secretly gets into Belle's bag and goes home with her. After Belle gets Maurice into bed at their cottage, Chip reveals himself from the bag, hops into Maurice's hand, and asks Belle why she left, but before she can respond, Gaston shows up and prepares to have Maurice taken to the asylum, believing that he is crazy for saying that he saw a Beast. When Belle proves to Gaston that there is a Beast using the Enchanted Mirror, he and the villagers lock her and Maurice in their cellar and set off to attack the Beast. Luckily, Chip uses Maurice's invention to help them escape from the cellar and they get on Philippe the horse and ride back to the castle.
When the spell is broken, Chip is turned back into his human form. In the closing ballroom scene, he is seen in Mrs. Potts' arms, alongside Maurice, watching Belle dance with Prince Adam. He asks Mrs. Potts if they are "gonna live happily ever after", to which she replies, "Of course my dear. Of course.". Then he asks if he still has to sleep in the cupboard, much to Maurice's amusement and Mrs. Potts laughs along, too. He is also seen in the ending stained glass window.

Chip in Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas.
Chip reappears in the direct-to-video sequel of the film. In it, he is seen trying to open presents for Christmas. Also when the Prince gives him a present, he's excited about it being a storybook. He helps Belle make a storybook to make the Beast feel better and really wants a Christmas tree because there's no Christmas without a tree. Also, in the flashback depicting the Enchantress placing the spell on the castle ten years earlier, he is present as a child, implying that the spell stopped him and the other servants from aging during the ten year period.
Chip reappears in the film series' final installment but plays a small role in contrast to his first two appearances.

Chip with Belle and Beast at the 64th Academy Awards.
In 1992, Chip made an animated/live-action appearance alongside Belle and Beast at the 64th Academy Awards ceremony, where he announced the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film to Daniel Greaves, director of Manipulation.[1]
In Tarzan, an ordinary teacup resembling Chip can be seen at Porter's campsite alongside a teapot that resembles Mrs. Potts.
Chip makes several cameo appearances in the series House of Mouse. Chip is usually found with Mrs. Potts. In "The Three Caballeros", Mickey Mouse went on the streets to ask if anyone knew the third member (Donald Duck) and when it came to Chip he repeatedly shouted "I know! I know!" However, it is not shown what Chip's answer was.
In The Lion King 1½, a silhouette of Chip was seen on top of the Beast's head during the finale.
On the Disney Jr. channel, Chip currently appears in a series of shorts featured during commercial breaks, featuring the young teacup engaging himself in various activities throughout the castle alongside his mother.
Chip also appears in the Beauty and the Beast entry of the As Told by Emoji short series.
Chip is mentioned in The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse episode Keep on Rollin' as Mickey's buddy.
An Abomination tea cup resembling Chip can be seen in The Owl House episode "Escaping Expulsion".
In Once Upon a Studio, Chip appears in The Snuggly Duckling barista inside the studio with his mother, Cogsworth, Merlin, his sugar bowl, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and Lucille Krunklehorn, getting himself poured with tea as Moana rushes in and asks Merlin to help Flounder find water. Chip and his mother join in the picture along with the rest of the Disney characters being held by Maurice.
The novel As Old as Time (A Twisted Tale) depicts an alternate chain of events from the moment that Belle makes contact with the rose. This includes the revelation that, when he was a child, the Beast's favorite servant was Alaric Potts, the stable-master and Mrs. Potts' husband, although he died so long ago that Chip cannot remember him. His full name is Charlemagne Alistair "Charles" Potts. Alaric was old friends with Maurice and Frederic before Alaric was killed by Frederic when he was discovered smuggling magic-users out of the kingdom in response to the current persecution by the Beast's parents. After Belle and the Beast discover Alaric's body in the stables, they also discover his journal, where he writes about the birth of his son 'Charles' and wonders if he will become involved with Maurice's daughter given Alaric's own preference for older women, reinforcing how time has been frozen for those transformed by the curse. Although Chip attends the funeral for his father, who is buried in the graveyard for royalty, he is presented as being somewhat awkward in the funeral, aware that he should feel sad about the death but removed from his natural grief as he never really knew his father. At the story's conclusion, the Beast sacrifices a chance to return to his human form so that his servants can be restored after the curse turns them completely into the objects they resemble, allowing Chip to become human again with his mother.

Chip appears in Kingdom Hearts II but is only seen with his mother. Chip is the only character in Beast's Castle that doesn't have a voice actor.
Beast locked his servants in the dungeons after Xaldin came and tried to turn him into a Heartless. When Sora and the others came, they freed the servants and helped them save Beast from turning into a Heartless. Lumiere and the others showed them a short cut to the Beast's room. Upon Sora's return, the Beast and Belle were having a party when Xaldin reappeared and took the Beast's enchanted rose. All that Chip could do was to observe the victory. After the events of Kingdom Hearts II, Chip presumably returned to his human form after the spell was broken.
In the original Kingdom Hearts, Chip makes a cameo in the Deep Jungle (a world based on the film Tarzan). Like the film, the world has a teacup and teapot resembling Chip and Mrs. Potts.
Chip can be spotted in Tarzan's Treehouse in Disneyland.
