I was wondering how you would say "come to life" or "came to life" in japanese.
I mean this in the way that inanimate objects come to life in fairy-tales. like in Beauty and the Beast. Thanks!

: I think only if there is a word "suddenly"or something, then you can add「突然」, but if this is only for the word "come to life", then 「動き出す」would sound appropriate better than other ones listed here.

Just an idea.
