I think also the fact that the Beast kept Belle using her father as a hostage, and Gaston planning on possessing Belle by threatening her father to be sent to asylum later makes them parallel and makes Gaston a foil to the Beast. It shows that the Beast started in a similar position as Gaston, but went through redemption arch while Gaston fell more deeply into the villainy. To me, the asylum plot is deliberately there to show the parallels of the two and should be dealt more significantly as in the original.

I just really appreciate the original more and more. It feels so organic and full of subtexts. Dialogues and subtle details all fit in perfectly.

I see. So they kind of wanted to change it to a gothic detective story I guess. Smart young girl steps into an enchanted castle and solves mysteries and breaks the spell. Which is like a Hermione spinoff movie!

So true about the blue dress! I dislike it soooooo much!

To me the only one that worked was 101 Dalmatians. I liked both the animated and live versions. None of the other live action films needs to exist.

This is just a list. The chemistry between Luke Evans and Josh Gad Their vocal performances during Gaston The design of Cogsworth The voice acting from Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson Basically all the singing aside from the auto tune stuff The opening of Be Our Guest(It sounds really cool) Generally, the production design Evermore is an excellent song Kevin Kline and Emma Watson's scenes together The intensity of the Mob Song I generally like this movie. I think it has plenty of good things in it. The problems are definitely there, though.

There are definitely issues with Gaston in the remake. He's not really a misogynistic asshole and that's weird for a character who's supposed to be that way in order for him to work. I don't like that LeFou pays people to sing for him because everyone is supposed to love Gaston, enough that they would join him in going to kill a terrifying beast. The way he tries to manipulate Maurice is weird because he doesn't seem to have a plan and just gets violent and ties him to a tree. It's really weird and it feels early for him to be evil and it comes out of nowhere. Also, this remake doesn't include anything with the asylum guy and that's odd. But Luke Evans is still totally delightful and the Gaston song, while it's not even a fraction as incredible as the original, is still really fun and entertaining. His chemistry between LeFou and Gaston is delightful.

I really hate that the Enchantress is an actual character in the movie. It's a really weird idea in the first place and they probably could've made it make more sense, but it made no sense at all. Why is she helping Maurice? Why is she reversing the curse? Why doesn't she curse Gaston if she's there the whole time? It doesn't make sense and it's dumb. And the book is really stupid too. I don't like the plotline about Belle's mom because it doesn't add anything to their relationship or the story as a whole.

i love the original animated so much, the beast well tries to be beastly, to the point the servents back off, but Belle is at the point where she's having none of it. Beast ok Adam, his name is Adam. Adam is above her, towering above her, but Belle is the one in control, and when she thanks him, his response is human, revealing the man inside

5:05 the horns going back also made them clip through a pillow at one point! I watched this movie once ages ago and immediately noticed. And it’s an easily fixable mistake; make the horns forward like you said or give the actor lightweight prop horns to wear so he knows when he’s bumping into things. Also I watched it in german (and don’t remember much of the voice acting) and hearing some of the clips in this video… man. Some of these voice actors really were just phoning it in, weren’t they? Mrs. Potts especially sounds like she’s just reading her lines for the first time with minimal or no direction.

Traditional Disney princess: Feminine, kind and sweet Woke Disney princess: Bossy, condescending, arrogant

Cinderella is the best remake, but I actually did enjoy the new Aladdin. I think the introduction of Dahlia and the addition of “Speechless” as a song did so much for Jasmine as a character because in the original, there wasn’t a lot to work with. She felt more like a person than an object in the remake. Her having other outfits than her blue one from the original also made a world of difference, and those dresses were absolutely gorgeous. As for my biggest problem with Mulan? Sideways summed it up perfectly, but I’ll reiterate. You can’t take out the songs, aka the emotional parts that progress the story, and replace them with nothing. It’s also a giant middle finger to use the original songs in the score because you’re directly referencing a superior film.

The “we did nothing” snippet honestly feels to me like a watered-down version of “Days in the Sun.” I actually like that song and I think it serves as a beautiful way to develop the servants. Instead of all that dialogue, Mrs. Potts starts with something like “His father was a cruel man,” and have that be the lead-in to the song. Have the footage of the song show glimpses of what the castle was like before they were cursed. Edit- Question for the director: how do you make a movie half an hour longer than the original and at the same time, give one of the titular characters less screen time? Make it make sense.

Honestly, my only problem with corsets in the rococo era is that only men were allowed to construct your corset. The idea of a man being allowed to feel me up under the guise of making my bra…that’s gonna be a “no” for me, dawg.

*What kind of ego must a non-singer have* - to follow such extraordinary original voices with pinched, techno-boosted and NON EMOTIONAL singing!? 😮😬😵 I am truly gobsmacked.

Emma Watson just seemed bored in this movie.

8:55 A fortunate coincidence that Ella and Kit are in the background of darkly colored extras, allowing them to pop on screen, while the more colorful, vibrant extras are on the sides of the screen and don't distract from the main couple.

EMMA WATSON TRULY IS LOATHSOME.

WE ALL LOATHE EMMA WATSON 😁

1991

Could you do a review of the new little mermaid live action. That was a great Disney remake . I cried at the end of the movie. I love Halle Bailey.

Can you say petitcoat

You forgot to mention how Belles new inventing skills never payoff at all in the remake, she never makes use of them again

Lol. The Prince/Cinderella dance as been described as “Disney Sex scene.” In interviews, Branagh noted that there was a gasp from boys and girls of the (extra) cast as well as Lily James as the Prince laces his hand on her waist.

This remake hurt me. The "explanation" for Pinocchio's name was HORRIBLE as someone who's part Italian. Pinocchio's name is a portmanteau of pino (pine) and occhio (eye), and means "pine wood eye". It isn't just "pine-oak haha" >:(

Luke Evans as Gaston was easily the best thing about the movie for me. He was fantastic!

Every minute I watched through your rant made me realize how many scenes I have missed in the live action and I am grateful cuz I want to forget that thing ever existed and want to distance myself from it😂😂

1. I didn’t notice it til now but I 100% agree! What’s funny is that they changed dialogue to fix the whole “he was 11 when the curse was placed” so that the Beast would seem more of a jerk for not letting the enchantress in but with your point he STILL has no obligation to help this lady 2. again I didn’t really notice it upon my first watching but you are right that it looks weird. I also see what you mean about The Beast looking less intimidating (although sadly I don’t think there was a good way to CGI the Beast) 4. I completely agree it was a mistake to not have The Beast escort Belle to her bedroom because it takes away from the viewers realization that not only is he a good guy deep down, but he is also a awkward guy that doesn’t know how to interact with Belle correctly due to years of isolation. 5. I noticed that when Belle “asked” (told) the mirror to see her father! Honestly the animated mirror did not look that heavy so I don’t know why they didn’t keep the original design (it was also in a satchel most of the time so even if it was heavy it wouldn’t have mattered). 6. it was so disappointing! I also HATED how Belle STOMPED down the staircase in ANGER as if SHE didn’t go into the one place she was told not to go (in the animated version anyway). Both characters acted in haste/fear and that should be apparent (which it is not thanks to how they reworked the aftermath of the wolf attack). 7. Yeah it seemed very weird that she keeped harping on “helping to break through curse” only to be COMPLETELY surprised when The Beast turned into a man. I also agree that her being oblivious (minus that one line in the animated version where she acknowledges that she’s in an enchanted castle) makes her relationship with everyone in the castle more authentic because it didn’t matter. 8. I will NEVER forgive the script writers for giving that line to Mrs Potts! It made it more impactful that THE BEAST said it! (Also it was my favorite piece of dialogue in the animated version- it was SO romantic!) 9. I actually thought they did a good job with Lefou. I especially liked how in the Mob song he got to sing (“there’s a Beast running wild there’s no question, but I fear the wrong monsters been released”) because it showed his growth as a character 10. when I tell you i PANICKED watching those two minutes between the last rose petal falling and Belle saying “I love you” in the movie theater I mean it whole heartedly!

8:49 let me explain to you why this scene is so wrong in the 2017 version. In the animated version many people thinks the Best eat that way because it's a beast with no manners, but he eats in that way because HE CAN'T EAT NORMALLY WITH THAT TWO BIG FANGS!. But in the bad version Belle is like "OK , so if you don't ascend to my level , I'll be down to your level , whatever ", witch it doesn't make sense since she there is a "empoderated Belle". They all misunderstood the whole Beauty and the Beast concept , they thought it was just copy and paste the main parts and songs (so nostalgics won't complain later on) and for the feminists they would add all that crap of Belle being an inventor and her sassyness 😂. The result is a complete MESS

9:18 look at his reaction to her touch too! He notices right away and gets all happy about it😭 Adorable!

Writers find it hard to adapt soft characteristics in movies, think Christian grey in 50 shades. Just feels off.

I don't like it, because they made it all about Emma Watson in this move, or it does seem like it. Making the dress more manageable for her, taking out the corset because she hates them (which makes the first dress look pretty bad being so scrunched up at the bodice), making her last dress to fit more with her preferences, change the character's personality because Emma wanted it. All about her, isn't it? It's not Beauty and the Beast, it's not Belle and the Beast, it's *Emma Watson* and the Beast (hardly, as no one writing it seemed to really care too much about his character either). I think they assumed people weren't there to see the remake or Belle or Beast, but the actress, which I'm sure wasn't the case for most people. I don't care about the actress, I only care to the extend if they have potential to play their role well... Emma clearly can not, she showed it well.

I love how much you loathe this movie. I’m so in love with the original and the Broadway show and this iteration just…ruined the story, lit it on fire, and kicked it down a hill.

Do you think they avoided the closeups because there was nothing there to see? Maybe the filmmakers realized that the chemistry was absent and gambled instead on letting the audience imagine from a distance that there was...chemistry. I don’t know. And look at how vibrant the colors are in _Cinderella._ That is what first hit me.

Hey, Jennifer. I hope things are going okay. Are you planning on making another video?

I didn’t like Belle or the Beast. The only two characters that worked for me was Maurice and Gaston, one heartfelt and the other charismatic. Belle was just...Emma Watson. Not one aspect of her personality was attractive or alluring (and I don’t mean her looks, but the qualities of her character). She seemed smug, passive-aggressive, and, well, I found her annoying. The _design_ of the Beast was a disaster. The animated Beast had an overwhelming sense of physical power, cunning and speed that you would associate with large terrestrial predators like a bear or a lion. Yet, later on, like when he holds her hands to guide her into the library, he is so gentle about it. He constrains his power for _her_ needs and to make _her_ comfortable. He could easily crush her hands, but he is careful, like watching a huge, muscular guy picking up small puppy or a kitten (I don’t mean to diminish Belle, like she was a pet, only that in comparison, she would be at the mercy of this beast should he decide to harm her). I thought that was such a sweet and subtle aspect of his character, his gentleness. Being gentle has nothing to do with being weak. I read this somewhere and it fits: Gentleness is _power_ restrained by _love._ That is the Beast in the animated film, isn’t it? The live-action Beast, as you have said elsewhere, is also a failure of character and writing, just as much as Belle. But I don’t have anything to add to your analysis there.

One thing I LOVE about Belle is that she is so gentle and quiet. Such a beautiful character

When I first saw her skirt hitched up, I thought that she went to the restroom and forgot to untuck her skirt before shooting and that nobody noticed haha

Every time I watch a Beauty and the Beast show I always look forward to seeing the yellow dress!

I have been enjoying your videos immensely & agree with all of your analysis. My compliments for being knowledgeable & eloquent. And as a suggestion, I would encourage you to see the Disney remake of Dumbo by Tim Burton. It is a unique retelling of the character, while being different from the original animated motion picture. For the rest, keep doing what you are doing with these videos, keep educating others on critical thinking & I wish you the best! 😊

Live action B&B straightened out the prom scene. In the animated film, Belle and the Beast are having dinner after the scene on the stairs, when in the middle of the meal, Belle suddenly and spontaneously drags the Beast to dance. However, the staircase scene in live action Cinderella is clearly inspired by the staircase scene in animated B&B, which is why it differs from the animated Cinderella staircase scene in the grand staircase but is similar to in B&B. And unfortunately, I lost track of what the original point of my comment was, but I still decided to post it anyway, since I considered it to be such an important note.

11:37 the lady on the left of this shot in the gold dress, is a better 'Belle' dress than the live action Beauty and the Beast 😅😂

I loved the way Beast's horns are done, but that might be because I didn't consider the backward vs forward curve. The size and shape of his horns is magnificent! The worst thing about Beast's design for me is that he has no ears. Not human ones, and not emoting animal ones.

The getting dolled up for the dance scene in the original (animated) version always amused me, because he comes out looking like the Cowardly Lion when he gets dolled up in Oz, particularly the book illustration (though the 1939 movie's take is also similar).

When she seems mean (because you assumed by her facial expression) that doesn't mean, that she's actually mean, do you understand? You think something, which is not true(!)

Original movie: The most beautiful love story ever told (a romance well done, as simple as that) Grubby remake: Copy, paste, over-exaggerate characters, add unnecessary scenes and dialogues, explain things that do not require explanation (and to top it all off, this looks like Stockholm Syndrome)

Emma was supposed to play a character from the era where women used to wear corsets under their dresses. That's history, whether we like it or not, is another topic. Otherwise, why wear a dress? Heck, just put on a pair of jeans and get it over with.

I think so many things would be better 2D animated. But it takes so much work and money and these days efficiency matters so much more than art. And yeah, movies with magic and sparkly transformations and diverse creatures and lots of color get so much more whimsical and full of wonder when they are drawn out by hand instead of being "puppetted" in cgi or acted out in live action in a set. We kind of abandoned that feeling in animation altogether because they think everyone prefers realism now. :/

Belle wasn't the actual belle she was meant to be in the new movie. And plus, that dress was hella boring. The original one looks more of a gown but that dress just looked like a normal dress. They didn't even made her look like a princess and why tf was she so rude to gaston when he was polite?
