Finally, someone who takes this story for what it is, without discussing prince’s age, the cruelty of the curse, Stockholm syndrome and so on! Just enjoying the beautiful fairy tale, which we all love❤️)))
Hell, it isn't even Stockholm syndrome anyway. Many people misinterpret the actual definition and aspects of Stockholm syndrome and inappropriately attribute it to this film, despite showing evidence to the contrary. So, I greatly respect her for basically saying "I don't want to hear none of that."
@@domidium Lets face it Belle's village is run by idiots. I sure that Belle would rather hang out with the Beast and his cool Library than the village.
@@orangeslash1667 the people at the village do take things at face value so in a way you kind of pity them in believing Gaston can do no wrong, remake makes them very questionable with a few changes
@@nightwish1453 indeed
Fun Fact: They screened an unfinished version of this movie at the New York film festival. And when it got to the transformation scene, it was just pencil tests, but the audience was losing their minds. And when the movie was over it was stone silence for two seconds and then, it was a standing ovation that lasted ten minutes.
As another note, Belle is the only Disney princess with brown hair and brown eyes. I love that she has the most common eye and hair colour, and yet she still manages to be one of the most beautiful. It's like a reassurance that you don't have to have all the conventional marks of beauty to be beautiful, inside and out.
I think her eyes are hazel, but yea they look brown as well
This movie is sooo goood! Did you know that when the actresss that was dubbing Belle, in the scene she says I love you to the Beast, she looked so much like she was really suffering (because she was really crying) that the director came to her asking if she was ok and she just raised her head and said: "And THAT is called acting".
RIP Angela Lansbury, the voice of Mrs. Potts. She passed away today from natural causes, at the age of 96. Her lovely voice will never be forgotten.
I feel like slot of people don’t know how Stockholm syndrome works, it’s changing your behavior to appease your capture, that’s not what happens with belle
Agreed, Belle didn't even start to like the Beast until he showed her respect.
Exactly, it's an instinctive survival technique to manipulate your captor in order to stay alive. This is not what's happening in the story.
@@Hoi4o People just don’t understand what anything means anymore, nowadays.
the animation model for Belle was Sherri Stoner, who not only also did the modeling for Ariel in "Little Mermaid", but also created and voiced the character Slappy the Squirrel in "Animaniacs"
Strange that you mentioned Bambi in the beginning because there's a theory that Gaston was the one who killed Bambi's mother
One theory I have regarding the Prince’s portrait in his room is that the Enchantress put a spell on it where it too ages and changes over time as a reminder to the Beast as what he would look like if he had never being cursed.
I remember that on VHS, many scenes were much darker than it is now in better quality. Like in the beginning when the father meets the beast, you could hardly see the shape and face clearly. Most some of the silhouette and the eye and mouth. And when Belle ask him to come in the light, that is when you could really see him clearly, when he came out from the shadow. But the shadow was darker etc on VHS.
YES! I had it on VHS and I remember noticing that difference! He was kept very dark until that moment.
Also one line difference… when he asks her “You wanna stay in the tower?” In the original VHS he says “You wanna-you wanna stay in the tower?” or something like that!
@@RazetheAxolotl Regarding about the Beast's stutter when he asks Belle "You wanna stay in the (dungeon) tower?", it's actually a slip-up that occurred in the recording session which made it into the original theatrical version of the film, which is released on VHS, Laserdisc, and on Disney+ streaming service. This stutter issue is however fixed in the 2002 IMAX Special Edition version of the film released on DVD and Blu-Ray.
And lastly, regarding about the dark, faded colors of the film in the original VHS/Laserdisc version of the film, I think it must've been the result of the transfer being scanned directly from the 35mm film negative instead of using the digital CAPS copies of the film (after all, film negatives stored in the vaults could gather dirt and dust over time, even for a short while), and the 2002 Special Edition version of the film does some minor animation alterations as well as improved color correction to look brighter and more vibrant.
@@kingandrewcecil348 I figured. I grew up with the VHS version so that will always be my “correct” haha
@@RazetheAxolotl Same here 😁😁
Kind of a shame, because it works much better for the story to keep the Beast in shadow until Belle clearly sees him for the first time. It annoys me every time that you get a decent look at him pretty much from the beginning rather than building it up more.
This is why viewing a film like this with other artists is so awesome.
They were on a scheduling crunch because the first director they hired wasted an entire year developing the story in a way that didn't work. Two years left to them instead of the usual three, so every minute of work REALLY counted. That they got an impeccably constructed story, dynamic and accessible staging of scenes, well-integrated music, perfect voice cast, rich background art and (above all) deeply heartfelt character animation *in that time crunch* is a testament to how much they loved what they were doing and yearned to live up to their mentors' legacy.
As an old art student this film is perhaps my third of my faves from the Disney Rennaissance (after Lion King and Hunchback of Notre Dame, both of which I highly reccommend watching ;) )
The one thing I've always loved about this film is not just how the pallette changes but also the settings and art styles change too. At the beginning, the backgrounds in the village are painted in a style reminiscent of french pastoral art, to give her village a wholesome, warm, rustic feel.
Then you see a complete shift whenever there is conflict between characters, whether it's the between Belle and the Beast, or the Beast and Gaston. The the gargoyles and sharp sillhouettes take centre stage as a more realistic baroque art/architecture style takes its place. The lighting too, more stark and dramatic, reminiscent of Late Rennaissance art. (Not to mention the forest has just those classic old school gothic horror movie vibes.)
Following that you get yet another shift to symbolise Belle's and the Beast's growing romance, everything takes on elements from several Post Baroque art styles like the ornate French Rococo decorations in the hallways and with the softer, Neoclassicalicist angels that replace the gargoyles. In my opinion, it's almost as if the art style in the background is reflecting the Beast learning to let go of the past and move forward into the future.
Also shout out to Glen Keane for the fantastic design of the beast. He and James Baxter did some amazing animation on this piece and many others during the 80s and 90s. True animation icons
* talking normally about the movie *
"OH MY GOD, I'm sorry... but look at the BACKGROUND!"
This movie is pure pop icon and masterpiece.
That Ballroom dance has changed the perspective and dance animation forever.
2:23 Yeah, that's one of the few disadvantages with the digital remasters. See, in the VHS version, the room was actually too dark to see any details, as well as any scenes where he was shown in shadows or poorly lit rooms.
I remember reading a quote from Disney about the design of the prince. They knew that people would not like the human form as much as the Beast. Because the audience fell in love with the Beast, not the human form.
Something that's worth noting that I don't think many people pick up on is that the story's passage of time is subtly told to us through nature. At the beginning of the movie, all the trees and plants have an autumn palette. By the time Belle arrives at the castle, it starts snowing and all plants lose their leaves, including the ones at the village. When we finally get to the climax of the story, we see thawing snow falling a riverbank as Belle gallops through the woods, all trees regained their leaves. Belle stayed with the Beast throughout the course of winter. That's 3 months.
if you slow down on gaston's fall you see skulls in his eyes
Glen Keane nailed Beast's emotional range perfectly, highlighting both his anger and sadness over his state, as well as showing the heart that he had deep down.
The transformation scene were Beast comes back to life ["He's not all dead, he's only mostly dead. And mostly dead is slightly alive." -- Miracle Max] and becomes the human prince, with the light beams shooting out from his fingers and toes, may have inspired the regeneration scenes for the post-hiatus Doctor Who (Christopher Eccleston and forward). I think, I'll to check.
Idk I've always liked the prince in this movie lol. I liked that he didn't look as cookie cutter as some of the other princes. The odd facial expressions just kind of remind me of Dimitri in Anastasia which I don't mind haha
Same) He looked a bit prettier on the painting he ripped, when he was younger, but he still looks fine. He’s not supposed to be the most handsome man in the world, that’s exactly what the story is about - people’s personality is important, not their looks)
This movie is especially close to my heart because I was born the same year of its release and even a few months BEFORE it was released! I was born in April 91 and this didn't come out until November 91!
3:30
I love How Belle’s dress makes your eyes go to her
She is the only one in blue or light blue in this first part.
Making her more eye-catching
If you pause when Gaston falls, when he is the closest to the screen, you can see that there are skulls in his pupils, to signfy his fate of being doomed as he falls to his death.
Ugh I love all the dark and moody scenes in the castle so much for the reasons you listed. As soon as beast and belle start to fall in love after she takes care of his injuries I start losing interest because a lot of the moody colors disappear lol
But then we get them all back for the mob sequence and onward! Yessss
The Disney Renaissance was the best era for Disney.
Beast wears red colour first because he was like Gaston.
But after when his good he wears blue.
He wears blue like Belle.
Aladdin, Lion king, Mulan and others are awaits! I would like to see you art commentary on those that I listed. I know I saw them but...
Oh I'm definitely going to cover all the Disney renaissance movies even though I've seen them before! I just feel like I should spread them out instead of watching them all in a row, since I feel like they're so special
Random fun fact: if a dramatic statue (often with grimacing faces, or depicting demons) on the outside of a building function to siphon rainwater from the building, they are gargoyles. If they are purely decorative, they are called grotesques or chimera. There were sometimes figures carved or placed in the eaves of buildings in the late medieval to early Renaissance periods that were said to overhear the chatter of those at the tables below, passing on whether the people were polite or gossipers. Hence, eavesdropping. I don't recall what those figures were called, but they also had a distinct name, despite looking similar to grotesques and gargoyles.
Yes, it is Tony Jay who voices Monsiere D'Arque and all the dialogue was taken from his audition of this character (consindering how few lines he had). When it came to do The Hunchback of Notre Dame, directors Gary Trousedale and Kirk Wise remembered Tony Jay so they cast him as Frollo.
The portrait actually scared the DAYLIGHTS out of me as a kid! I think it’s the way the eyes seem to look right at you. They are a pretty color, but Lord, the way they regard the viewer makes it pretty unsettling.
Ah, my favorite Disney movie.
I did stained glass for 3 years. I used strips of ace bandages (the kind that like sticks to itself) to wrap around my thumbs and index fingers since those were the fingers that pressed against the glass edge while I was shaping it. It's a very fun and surprisingly relaxing artform. I always loved copper foil even though there are copious amounts of sodering because you can get nice small details unlike the lead came which is very small amounts of sodering but you lose a lot of the detail.
1:40 You and me both, Cashmere (especially the Stockholm syndrome controversy. It freaking annoys me).
Beauty and the Beast is just a simple fairytale with a BEAUTIFUL story. It’s one of my favorite animated movies ever!
P.S. Yes, Monsieur D'Arque is the same voice as Frollo. The directors recorded his audition (which had all his lines in it) and were so impressed they not only wrote him a cheque before he left, they not only used that audition audio in the final film, but five years later they decided "Hey, that guy who did a handful of lines for us last time? HE IS FROLLO. HE IS THE ONLY CHOICE."
Loved your mentioning of painting class… one of the first things we learned was how to paint shadows like that!
Loved your discussion of your fave color palette and how it compliments this movie. It made me think maybe the reason I love the Great Mouse Detective colors is because I love Purple, Black and Pink! Ratigan is the villain, Black and grey with pops of Pink and Purple… also Pink is everywhere in his lair, all the mouse ears, the queens dress….
This is so fun to watch with you!!!!
I think the main problem that people in general have with the prince when he transforms back from being a Beast, is that it's the Beast form that people fall in love with and think that the prince doesn't quite match the Beast. Same with Pinocchio when he becomes a real boy at the end. I don't mind, though, I like how the prince looks.
All the claims people make about Stockholm syndrome and bestiality are immediately debunked at 15:21; that’s where Belle starts to piece together that the Beast is really a human underneath his beastly exterior, plus she runs away.
Monsieur D'Arque is voiced by the late Tony Jay. In fact, his vocal performance is actually his audition. Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale liked his audition so much that they paid him after he did it and kept it in the film. In addition, his vocal performance as Monsieur D'Arque led them to cast him as Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
22:42 Gaston has skulls in his pupils to represent his death
17:38
Me pointing at Belle’s dresses is fun
The libary walls are lightblue and she is now wearing green
Standing out again
1:40 in one sentence, you became my hero! XD
It didn't matter what the prince's character design was, no one was ever going to be happy with it. We had time to adapt to and fall in !I've with the beast, so his human form will always look a little wrong.
I love ocean and forest themed colors. I also like blue, purple, and black which adds I feel a mysterious vibe to things
I first saw this movie when I was three or four and it was first being shown in cinemas - I fell asleep somewhere around the middle (horrible I know) I woke up to the beast roaring after releasing Belle to save her father and suffered nightmares for the next year or so, only movie that's ever given me nightmares is Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
Madness.
But it was also the movie that made me love drawing after sitting through it in full to relieve the nightmares.
Both Beauty & The Beast & The Hunchback of Notre Dame teach about what makes someone "human" & what make someone "monstrous"
Funny enough, both films were even directed by the same creators Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, and even share the same voice talent of Tony Jay who voices a villainous character in both films.
I love how they change the color on the beast clothes from red to blue because in this movie red is the mean color (Gaston) color
If anyone bring up the stock holm syndrome I’ll hurt someone cuz it’s not it’s genuine if she really wanted to leave he’d let her
@CashmereTheClown: Yep. Good recognition of voice. That was indeed the same voice actor [ ( the late ) distinguished, veteran, English actor/voice actor Tony Jay ( 1933 - 2006 ) ] doing the voice of the asylum keeper in 'Beauty and the Beast' ( 1991, ) and then later "Frollo" in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' ( 1996. ) Ironically, when Tony Jay was voice cast in Disney's animated 'Beauty and the Beast,' he had just recently finished playing the evil "Paracelsus" character in the brilliant, but unfortunately short-lived, T.V. series "Beauty & the Beast" ( 1987 - 1990, ) which set the story in modern ( 1980s ) times, and in ( and under ) New York.
I have watched this movie millions of times and never once noticed the baby carriage. That shit cracked me up so hard.
Yesss!!! I love beauty and the beast thanks for the amazing reaction as always 💖💖💖
Awesome video keep up the good work & that movie is my favorite movie in my personal opinion & i know u are enjoying watching it more then I do & I hope u enjoy your day today ☺️
it's clear why it was up for an Oscar
the human version of the beast head on is weird, but prince adam from the side is hot as hell
If the "Be Our Guest" song was real, that room would be so freaking sticky😱!!!
If you are going through the modern movies, Hunchback of Notre Dame HAS to be on there. It's one of the prettiest of the era, and I've been to Notre Dame. It's every bit as pretty.
Also, if you haven't seen Dumbo yet, I advise it. The Pink Elephants On Parade sequence is scary gorgeous.
I agree with you. I'm tired of how people are just talking about the whole Stockholm Syndrome, the age of the Prince, etcetra. Please just enjoy the movie and quit it with the nitpicks.
Im so happy to find out Im not the only one who thinks he's ok as a human!
All this talk about stockhold syndrome. It's a fairy tale people. I don't see anyone trying to gauge the tensile strength of Rapunzel's hair, do I?
If I may suggest next movie; Id love to see your reaction of Disney's animated "Jungle Book" from 1967. It's my favourite Disney's movie.
Neat art lesson on shading. Thanks. :)
Wait I took film studies for 2 years in college and never heard of that; what's the significance of the baby carriage going down the stairs??
I'm loving these videos. 😊
Please talk about the art in the little mermaid pleaseee
I just want to counter the common prince age issue with my argument that the line in the song "12 years we have been rusted" shouldn't be taken literally, it's just a metaphor for how the staff of the castle haven't served any guests for 12 years but that doesn't mean it was THEN that the curse have happened (it wouldn't make any sense consindering how the prince looked in the stain glass window, plus the portrait that he as The Beast rips, he looks rather an older teen, so couldn't have been a Beast for 12 years). Something else happened during that time, probably the prince's parents died and the sorrow is what made him so mean and unsocial, hence why he didn't invite anyone for dinner at his castle.
If you pause it while he is falling you can see skulls in his eyes
18:36
Nice sound effect!
Could I recommend a film? I'm sure you get loads of requests but I'd like to see you commenting on the art in "Journey to the West" from 1960 based on the famous 16th century Chinese book of the same name. It's a Japanese film by Toei Company, directed by Taiji Yabushita
and Daisaku Shirakawa. You can find it in Japanese with English subtitles in amazing visual quality here on RUclips, in a video titled "Saiyuuki (1960 Movie)" uploaded by a channel called "CursedAnimes."
It is the story of the monkey king, Sun Wukong, (Or Son Gokuu as the movie calls him on account of that's just what they tend to call the character in Japan) and his ego and nasty attitude got him punished, only to get a chance to redeem himself by helping a monk arrive in India safely.
In 1961 it was dubbed but I recommend you stick to the subtitled Japanese version, as the dub rewrote many many of the scenes, and renamed the entire cast, that version is called "Alakazam the Great", I guess you could watch the dub if you really wanted since you'll be judging the animation more so than anything, but I think you'd like the sub more.
Funnily enough, Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Super Mario Bros.) saw this film as a kid, and the main villain ended up giving him the idea for Bowser years later.
I haven't heard of this movie before but it sounds really cool! I'll add it to my list!
@@CashmereWatches Oh thank you
I smell a under rated RUclipsr at 3 o clock
I love it
I honestly think the prince looks like Michael Bolton.
Please react to Cinderella 1950 and Anastasia 1997
My favorite Disney movie!!! Hope you enjoy!
Did you know that, in the original story book, the beast is a giant “slimy” salamander type monster?
As Naveen would say, It is not slime, it is mucus!
@@Neevkl_7 yes 😎👌

Can you please do little mermaid
You should react to the movie Aladdin and the last unicorn ❤️
I used to think of Beauty and the Beast as sort of gushy gushy. My view today, kinda "gushy" but it's definitely not bad, I just think I've always like Snow White and Cinderella way more than this although kudos to Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion for the end title song. Beauty and the Beast nonetheless is a good one for me to analyze both internally and behind the scenes. The lyricist was actually a gay man who had great success with The Little Mermaid, but he was suffering from HIV/AIDS. Howard Ashman did attend a recording session for Be Our Guest, but basically, he was too ill to keep travelling to Burbank, and he was eventually bedbound. Perverse way of dying, losing your vision, and being skin and bone compared to the nostalgia one gets from hearing the song "Belle".
The Beast a 16:10: *_YEET_*
What happens in this movie is not Stockholm syndrome
You people are clueless
The Little Mermaid??
I love my opinion
RED EYE (2005) FULL MOVIE - Rachel McAdams
please react to Anastasia
upo I love the live action version of this movie.
Get out.
alt ending for the movie that could be easily achievable.
-belles dad follows the good road and never encounters the beasts castle.
-gaston listens for the first time in his life and takes belle to road trip and now belle cant get enough of him.
-everyone but beasts and servants live happily ever after.
the end.
