I'd like to see your reaction to Inside Out. It's not technically a Disney film (was animated ny Pixar) but Inside Out is widely agreed to be one of Pixar's best movies and the ending makes me cry harder than Coco.
@@LexisThoughts But you're a monster F'r.... admit it... I was one before I even knew what one was. (Picks Blanka in Street Fighter, and King in Tekken). It's totally okay to be into beast-like characters who have soft personalities for that one person. Anyone who shames you for that can GTFO of your life. You don't need their energy in your life.
Belle is a lot of peoples favourite Princess, and you can see why. Not only is she as pretty as she is smart, she's adventurous, tough too, you saw her ready to take on those wolves? And knows how to outwit baffoon's like Geston while also possessing a great deal of kindness for the Beast, even when he does test her patiences a bit.
She’s also IMO the only Disney Princess that is strong while also feminine. Others like Mulan, Merida etc. are considered strong but only through more masculine traits.
@@alyssakays367 Mulan's pretty feminine at the end of her film. Jasmine took no ones crap and was quick to pick up on Alladin's "crazy person" act to throw out half her gloves, and Esmeralda's entire thing is having her whole self recognized as, not just a beauty to be obsessed over or a kind soul to be idealised. As for Meg, well she speaks for herself.
@@Avenger85438 I was only looking at the official Disney Princess lineup but I will say Meg comes close if we count the unofficial. It’s her attitude that makes her fall short for me. Belle is unique to me because she’s strong by USING what are typically considered feminine traits like kindness and gentleness. This is what changes and attracts the beast. Jasmine comes close but falls just short because she’s much more sassy than Belle. Belle will stand up to others but only when she has to and is always polite to everyone. Don’t get me wrong, I love the other princesses but Belle just feels different to me.
People forget Tiana from Princess and the Frog, she’s my favorite Disney princess put to the rest of them. Passionate, tough and hardworking, plus she has a great sense of style! Does anyone notice that she’s the only character with the most costume/clothes changes out of all the princesses?
It's an amazing film. Still can't believe how 'Tale as old as time' was recorded in a single take. Angela Lansbury was told they'd replace her voice but it was so perfect they kept it. RIP to the lyricist Howard Ashman who died from complications due to HIV/AIDs shortly before the film was released. His partner picked up his Oscar on his behalf.
Did his acceptance speech include something like, " I'm honored to accept this award on behalf of Ashman, please remember to use protection, even during gay sex, because that's how you don't die of AIDS."??
What’s really impressive is that the beast Voice actor Robby benson, voices both the beast and the prince, he’s able to control the range of his voice so well you can tell they’re both voiced by the same person but each tone, and syntax is different.
Beast is so animated with his feelings and character development that here he does not need a song like the one in the remake, we already feel his emotions. As someone who grew up on this movie and this is my favourite animation movie, the remake for me was all body no soul. Where as this one is animation with Sio much soul that it didn't need a live action, this is full of emotions and magic. The voices are incredible and the remake is full of known actors with no singing abilities.
I actually like the broadway musical where they do have beast sing his lament. but yeah in animation to be able to carry that without a song to explain it is great work.
Listen, girl whatever feelings are coming up concerning Beast in general is something a lot of us have been trying to come to terms with nearly our whole lives lmao you are not. alone. on that. XD
It’s because of his voice actor Robby Benson, he makes a lot of character come out just through voice which works with the animation/character design to make things steamy.
@@sharpaycutie2 i hope a random person shows up at your house when you’re 11 years old asking to be let in and then calls you spoiled when you don’t let a complete stranger into your house
I wanted to jump in and comment about Beast's voice actor real quick, since I didn't see anyone else comment on it after a quick look. Robbie Benson - Beast's voice actor - was actually mostly known for being soft-spoken and in teen heartthrob stuff. Disney was so concerned about this reputation (they worried people wouldn't take a beast voiced by a teen idol seriously) that they basically didn't reveal who it was until the movie released - including flat-out lying to press and saying that the beast hadn't been cast yet (despite that not being how animation works at all). It's wonderful that they cast his so well that you commented on it, but it's also hilarious that they were so worried about it about it that they basically hid him for the entire production. Thank you for this wonderful reaction. This has always been one of my favorite films, and it's great seeing people come to it (somewhat) fresh. Great work!
That’s awesome thanks for letting me know and going through the comments before commenting. Yeah he did an awesome job totally proved them wrong about the soft spoken thing I loved his voice in this.
I love that this movie is all about teaching that looks don't matter and it's the inside that counts, and almost everyone things the beast is ugly as a human. The irony is great 😆
@@LexisThoughts he was actually supposed really handsome but somewhere in the touch up process the shadows where lines differently and the colored lighter than they where supposed to. Which is why he looks weird. He looks better in the second movie.
To put it in terms of Greek mythology, Beast is a chimera....a mix of animal features. He has the brow of a gorilla, the head and horns of a buffalo, the tusks of a wild boar, the body and arms of a bear and the hind legs and tail of a wolf. A chimera in Greek legend had a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.
Physical appearance. The Beast is not of any one species of animal, but a chimera, a mixture of several animals. He has the head structure and horns of a buffalo, the arms, claws and body of a bear, the eyebrows of a gorilla, the jaws and mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar and the legs, teeth, and tail of a wolf.
When I hear people say how they dislike cartoons or say that animation is just for kids, I just shake my head because such ones are missing out on wonderful stories like this. And yes I like this version much better than the other one. I especially like that Beast takes much longer to calm down and remains scary longer in this version.
I loved that even though you knew what was going to happen at the end you still got pulled into the death scene and confession which just goes to show how great writing acting snd animating speaks for itself. Also your initial reaction to the human beast was super funny because apparently that was most womens reaction to the beast transformation in 1991 "wheres my beast, put him back"
Lmao I want him back lol. And I know right I felt dumb when editing cause I was like well of course he’s not going to die what was I thinking at the time but it shows how great the movie is that you forget
@@LexisThoughts The reason is because we got so use to him as a Beast...it also doesn't help his hair is lighter and his voice is not as before either...he does look good with Belle at the end though I think
Beauty And The Beast is imo the best Disney Renaissance movie (ie the 1990s musicals that recieved critical acclaim), I'm glad to see you reacting to it.
It's hard to believe this movie came out in 91. It looks nothing like typical animation movies from the 90's. so advanced....I was in first grade when this came out. Had the VHS and now I have the bluray dvd combo pack.
The Narrator at the start is voiced by the same man who voiced the Priest in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In my head canon, since both are set in France, it was the Priest who was telling this story and from him knowing it, knew not to judge people, hence why he showed instant kindness to the Gypsies and called Quasimodo a child like any other, unlike Frollo.
The most likely explanation to the ten years thing, is that the Sorceress placed the whole castle in another dimension with slower moving time, so he was cursed as an adult at about 19, the time limit is at 21, but those two years stretch to ten because of the curse, so as to give him time to become polite. No one around knew about the enormous castle near their town, you need to get lost to arrive to it. It's worse in Sleeping Beauty, the girl sleeping a hundred years because of the curse. In one of my favorite Discworld books, Wyrd Sisters, the Lancre witches pull that off by sending the entire kingdom 15 years in the future, instead of sleeping everyone. And you are right, people were sort of weirded out by the Beast's human apparence, even if he's no bad looking. And the Sorceress was the worst, cursing all those people.
Don't blame my man.It's difficult to be a pretty royal ,especially if you are a french royal.In the powerful big families it was easy to see cousins marrying to each other ,this guy is probably the most handsome in his family
The whole 'twenty-first year' business is often, I think, misinterpreted. Here's how I understand it: the curse says the rose will "bloom until his twenty-first year", and that it must be broken before "the last petal fell". It doesn't say that petal will fall ON his twenty-first year, just that the rose itself will remain perfectly fresh UNTIL then, at which point it starts, very slowly, to die. Remember, it's a MAGIC rose; the whole process can take as long as the Enchantress wants. So with that in mind, here's how I interpret the timeline: the Prince encountered the Enchantress when he was somewhere in his mid-teens - still pretty young by today's standards, but basically adult by those of the time (and he can't be much younger than that, because we saw him at the beginning. He was NOT eleven; he was teens, minimum). Let's say sixteen. That, if the "ten years" Lumiere quotes is accurate, would give him five years grace before the petals started to drop, and another five-ish by the time Belle comes into the picture. When he finally transforms back, he's about twenty-five or so. (This is my interpretation, anyway; I don't know if Disney has official stats or whatever on this.) Mind you, there's still a lot of weird stuff about the curse that is difficult to interpret - as you say, the whole 'Mrs. Potts' kids' business is kind of weird (have they been little kids for a decade now, unable to grow?), and then there's the whole 'what happened to all the NORMAL stoves/wardrobes/chandeliers/forks/etc.?' question, and - yeah. It kind of falls apart if you think about it too much. But hey, it's still a great movie, so one turns a blind eye.
I totally agree that is how I always saw it too.. like he was a teenager most likely which at the time was pretty much considered an adult anyway, and the rose would slowly begin to wilt and die some years after his 21st birthday. As for chip still being a kid; I saw it as all the people that have been turned into objects are in a sort of purgatory, where they don't age as they are technically not "living" things at the moment- which could be seen as maybe a nice thing the witch did so they wouldn't technically have lost any of their human years lol? The beast was the only one turned into a sort of animal so he's still ageing. And not every enchanted thing in the castle is actually a human, the curse just made some random stuff sentient for ambiance I think lol.
@@andreasusnik This is one of those cases where the waters have been muddied somewhat by the film's own success, and subsequent expansions on the story. I mean, If you just count the original, then, yeah; it's reasonable to assume that some stuff in the castle is just animated because of the curse, and had no prior existence as a human before that - it's very much like that in the original fairy tale. But then you get into all the spin-offs - the (at least) two sequels, the comics, the cameos the characters have in other Disney stuff, the brief (very brief - I think it was cancelled) live-action kid's show with Belle as the host, on and on. Each and every one of these features new characters and new backstories, and all of a sudden, EVERYTHING'S alive in this castle. The chandeliers are alive! Random implements are alive! Hairbrushes and Christmas tree ornaments and goodness knows what else, and they all have their own 'why, back when I was a human' sort of backstories either told or implied. All of this is technically canon with the original film (or Disney says that it is), so either you ignore all that, or you acknowledge it - and if you acknowledge it, you get the mental picture of the Prince striding back into his castle post-transformation, to be greeted by a HUGE crowd of happy people, in a castle that is basically just bare walls and floors and nothing else.
@@Psycopathicus haha I haven't seen any of the expansions on the story but I see what you mean, I feel the good thing about the original is that they kept so much of that stuff vague/undefined so you could just assume what made the most sense and not be distracted by how much doesn't fully add up lol!
@@andreasusnik Agreed - over-explaining things is somewhat of an issue with more recent films, I feel. Back in the day, they just plain did not care, most of the time, and we were better off for it - you had to figure this stuff out on your own, if you even wanted to in the first place. I mean, if you compare, say, 'Batman Begins' to the '89 'Batman', the former goes into so much detail about how everything Batman-related works and where it comes from. You learn how he gets every single gadget in the cage, and how each of them works - in detail. For something like 45 minutes. Meanwhile, 'Batman' is all like 'BAAAA! Batmobile! WHOOSH! Flames! It stop when he say 'stop'! He use a smoke bomb; it go boom! BOOMY-BOOM BOOM! He got a thingy that shoot a line! He got a great big cave, an' a pet bat inna birdcage, an' a whole buncha computers - boy, he smart! - an' a big swooshy flyin' plane thingy, an' it look like the Bat-symbol! AWESOME!'
"All that to Chop some wood. That's extra as hell." You've never chopped wood. It's quite a chore. I myself never managed to split a log. I could buck hay all day long, never could split my Pawpaw's oak wood for him.
This is my favorite Disney movie! It was so cool seeing your reaction after you had only seen the remake. Emma Watson’s Belle has non of the sweetness that the original does. Fun fact: I saw that you noticed that Belle stands out in her blue dress; the only other character that wears blue in the movie is the beast during ballroom scene. You’re absolutely right that they interact a lot more in the animated version. That was one of my biggest complaints about the remake; that despite the movie literally being called Beauty and the Beast we didn’t see much interaction/chemistry between Belle and beast. If you’ve never listened to the soundtrack of Disney’s Broadway version, I would highly recommend it.
Thank you guys for the support on my last video hope you enjoy my commentary on beauty and the beast let me know your thoughts in the comments down below
the ballroom scene literally opened up our world to a whole knew era and beginning of cgi in shows and movies. You cant imagine how much time and effort went into that one area, it seriously was a marvel of its time. Beauty and The Beast opened gateways and sparked something we use to much now today 💙
Beauty and the Beast 1991 is my all time favorite film and your reactions were priceless! It was really interesting seeing reactions from someone who had only seen the (terrible) remake. Loved this video and thank you for making me laugh so much from your genuine and charming reactions.
I actually have a theory on how the enchantress might no be that cruel. Furniture don't age. At the very least not as fast as humans. And animals or rather beasts too. So maybe it may have been ten years but nobody aged. Which would mean that the enchantress could have cursed the castle when the beast was like twenty. Nobody aged despite ten years passing.
Hmmm that would make sense for the objects but I think the beast would still age a bit. And it’s still sad that the staff missed out in 10 years of the outside world.
I honestly don't think the servants aged like Beast did. Because while they were still alive, they are inanimate objects. This is one of my favorite Disney movies, the Beast is a fantastic character in every aspect.
This was in my recommendations and I absolutely loved it! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie and I love watching movie commentaries so I loved seeing your take on it. :) It really is a great film and it was great to watch it through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen it before! You have a new subscriber.
I'm glad you realised why people hated the remake. This movie has so much emotion and even the animation and the shots...so much effort and skill was put into it. Also Belle is my fav because she is strong but feminine. The remake stripped Belle of that as well as her subtle charm. I hope you watch more 2D from the golden era of Disney...they really have so much heart and so much more natural. None of the remakes hold a candle to the originals in my opinion. As for the Beast...his human form is handsome although maybe they should have made his hair darker. The problem is as a human he isn't as powerful and large...he also no longer has his Beast voice which had more character...but I still love the pairing :)
So a lot of people aren’t a fan of the human version of beast, and the animators said that ultimately no matter what design they chose for the human prince form no one was really going to enjoy th shift since it was the beast everyone fell in love with.
I still find it hilarious that even Non-furries are disappointed when he turns human at the end XD. Whats even funnier is even Disney prefers him as a Beast to where any other media he's featured in he's ALWAYS in beast form XD
When the movie was in production Disney arranged to show the New York Film Festival a rough cut, one that wasn't even fully animated, some scenes in black and white only It got a 10 minute standing ovation
I love that you loved the og version. I might be wrong but it didn't look like you watched the movie during the songs and really bummed me out. But I'm so glad to have another in the club of the OG B&B
@@LexisThoughts btw I think the animators actually said they anticipated people to be disappointed with the human beast cause we learned to live the beast that anything they chose would be disappointing. If you think about it, any other Disney prince would have been disappointing too. Maybe Naveen....
According to the animator of Glen Keane, Beast is a combination of seven different species: the mane of a lion, the beard and head and horns of a buffalo, the brow of a gorilla, eyes of a human, the tusks of a wild boar, the body of a bear, and the legs and tail of a wolf
Growing up this was my fav disney movie. I kinda saw myself in Belle, thinking about the wish for adventure, being the only princess with brown hair and green eyes at the time. Now I just find it weird, that she still decided to marry despite of her wish.
wha... she DIDN'T MARRY ADAM! She is the only one at the end of the movie who didn't marry, there is an official BOOK with Belle and Adam's wedding, but they don't marry in the movie.... Yeah no, sorry, but no.
I think this is my favorite reaction to this wonderful movie. I love your observations, you really think about the setting of the film and how they animate certain things and I appreciate that. I think it's probably one of the classic Disney films that has aged well, where others... not so much. One thing if you ever make the time: If you look at Gaston's eyes as he falls down the cliff, he has a skull and crossbones in his eyes. Cool little detail they added.
You have to watch the black cauldron. That movie houses one of Disney's most evil and probably the most scariest (and one of my favorite) villains of all their movies
bestreaction I've seen to his human form XD you just channeled everylittle girl and potential boy's reaction t his human form. the last line in the live action version about him growing a beard was almost put into this one XD
There is a reason this was the first animated movie nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and one of my favorites of all time. Just stay far away from the live action travesty. Also I sung Beauty and the Beast at my friends wedding, and having him and his bride dance to it was an unexplainable experience.
I love how passionate you get watching these movies. It draws me more into them even when I’ve seen them hundreds of times. ❤️ I will say that the whole plucking feathers/servants losing body parts thing is made more confusing in the remake, since we see the piano shooting his keys at people and then missing teeth when he turns human again. That seems to confirm that each part of their enchanted bodies coincides with a part of their human bodies, but then we see Chip’s saucer break when the curse sets in and yet when he turns human again, he has his whole body. Shouldn’t he have been missing his legs???
It says something about Chip doesn’t it? When he needs to rescue Belle and Maurice, what does he do? *Look for the biggest, sharpest thing he can find…* - he’s a typical child. It’s big and shiny, so it doesn’t matter if it’s dangerous. As for how old the Beast was - according to Lumiere in “Be Our Guest”, the Beast was *eleven* when he was cursed (“Ten years we’ve been rusting”). I also like Lumiere’s wisdom. If you’re stressed, eat.
Beast definitely awakened some primal part of me that gets turnt from a deep, animalistic, growly voice and muscles. Horniness for beast aside, ive always been in love with this movie. It was my mom's favorite disney movie and its my favorite movie of all time. It always makes me emotional and i can quote it word for word😂 Edit: I also agree with u that Evermore was the best part of the remake lmao. I loVe that song
I... honestly had a MEGA crush on Beast as a kid because of how big and cool he was. Like I was honestly disappointed when he changed back into a man LMAO.
Interesting fact: There’s a theory that Jane from Tarzan is the granddaughter of Belle. Which I find to be plausible considering that Mrs. Potts & Chip can be seen in the “Trashin’ The Camp” scene in Tarzan. Plus, both the Beast and Tarzan are animated by the same animator, Glen Keane. Not to mention, if there’s one thing Belle and Jane have in common, other than having brown hair, they both have a thing for falling in love with unusual guys.
People have brought up the whole 11-year-old being cursed for a decade thing a lot, so much that Disney decided to pull time dilation into the equation with their live action remake. Personally I prefer the explanation that fey are just jerks.
@@LexisThoughts Except the Beast is supposed to be the flawed hero of this story opposite Belle as the one to rescue him and his servants from their curse. Gaston is the embodiment of toxic masculinity & an insecure boorish git.
Fun fact for you. This was the very first animated movie to ever be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. And it was the first animated movie to incorporate CGI in a scene, which was the Beauty & the Beast dance scene. The whole ballroom was completely done in CGI, only Belle & the Beast were hand drawn.
I like your commentary. It was cool 😎. I always describe the live action remake as the Broadway show in movie form if you've ever seen the Broadway show. But this movie is definitely a classic and it is celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year.

True i guess that's why they just call him a beast instead of anything specific. It's really reminding me of teen wolf lol
All of those and the eyes of a human
@@memyselfandi7782 if you want to say that lol I’d think the Buffalos eyes in some scenes lol
@@memyselfandi7782 very true! The animators even said that they wanted to show his emotions through his eyes.
When I hear people say how they dislike cartoons or say that animation is just for kids, I just shake my head because such ones are missing out on wonderful stories like this. And yes I like this version much better than the other one. I especially like that Beast takes much longer to calm down and remains scary longer in this version.
I loved that even though you knew what was going to happen at the end you still got pulled into the death scene and confession which just goes to show how great writing acting snd animating speaks for itself.
Also your initial reaction to the human beast was super funny because apparently that was most womens reaction to the beast transformation in 1991 "wheres my beast, put him back"
Lmao I want him back lol. And I know right I felt dumb when editing cause I was like well of course he’s not going to die what was I thinking at the time but it shows how great the movie is that you forget
@@LexisThoughts The reason is because we got so use to him as a Beast...it also doesn't help his hair is lighter and his voice is not as before either...he does look good with Belle at the end though I think
@@Stephie_L true but the beast is so much more cuter
Beauty And The Beast is imo the best Disney Renaissance movie (ie the 1990s musicals that recieved critical acclaim), I'm glad to see you reacting to it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video this movie honestly is the best i really do love it
It's hard to believe this movie came out in 91. It looks nothing like typical animation movies from the 90's. so advanced....I was in first grade when this came out. Had the VHS and now I have the bluray dvd combo pack.
Yeah it is really beautiful
The creepy asylum guy is voiced by the same man who voiced Frolo in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Just so you know ❤️
That makes so much sense no wonder I loved him
Tony Jay
The Narrator at the start is voiced by the same man who voiced the Priest in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
In my head canon, since both are set in France, it was the Priest who was telling this story and from him knowing it, knew not to judge people, hence why he showed instant kindness to the Gypsies and called Quasimodo a child like any other, unlike Frollo.
@@innerguardianXIII that’s actually a great theory I’m going to choose to believe that’s canon
@@innerguardianXIII he also plays cogsworth
“What makes a monster? what makes a man?” That took me out 😂😂😂💀💀💀
The animators actually made it so Belle was the only person wearing blue in the town so she would stand out. I am so happy you noticed that.
The most likely explanation to the ten years thing, is that the Sorceress placed the whole castle in another dimension with slower moving time, so he was cursed as an adult at about 19, the time limit is at 21, but those two years stretch to ten because of the curse, so as to give him time to become polite. No one around knew about the enormous castle near their town, you need to get lost to arrive to it. It's worse in Sleeping Beauty, the girl sleeping a hundred years because of the curse. In one of my favorite Discworld books, Wyrd Sisters, the Lancre witches pull that off by sending the entire kingdom 15 years in the future, instead of sleeping everyone. And you are right, people were sort of weirded out by the Beast's human apparence, even if he's no bad looking. And the Sorceress was the worst, cursing all those people.
Don't blame my man.It's difficult to be a pretty royal ,especially if you are a french royal.In the powerful big families it was easy to see cousins marrying to each other ,this guy is probably the most handsome in his family
@@alexiacaceda1421 lmao that would be sad
Being stuck in that castle for 10 years is so cruel
The whole 'twenty-first year' business is often, I think, misinterpreted. Here's how I understand it: the curse says the rose will "bloom until his twenty-first year", and that it must be broken before "the last petal fell". It doesn't say that petal will fall ON his twenty-first year, just that the rose itself will remain perfectly fresh UNTIL then, at which point it starts, very slowly, to die. Remember, it's a MAGIC rose; the whole process can take as long as the Enchantress wants.
So with that in mind, here's how I interpret the timeline: the Prince encountered the Enchantress when he was somewhere in his mid-teens - still pretty young by today's standards, but basically adult by those of the time (and he can't be much younger than that, because we saw him at the beginning. He was NOT eleven; he was teens, minimum). Let's say sixteen. That, if the "ten years" Lumiere quotes is accurate, would give him five years grace before the petals started to drop, and another five-ish by the time Belle comes into the picture. When he finally transforms back, he's about twenty-five or so. (This is my interpretation, anyway; I don't know if Disney has official stats or whatever on this.)
Mind you, there's still a lot of weird stuff about the curse that is difficult to interpret - as you say, the whole 'Mrs. Potts' kids' business is kind of weird (have they been little kids for a decade now, unable to grow?), and then there's the whole 'what happened to all the NORMAL stoves/wardrobes/chandeliers/forks/etc.?' question, and - yeah. It kind of falls apart if you think about it too much. But hey, it's still a great movie, so one turns a blind eye.
I totally agree that is how I always saw it too.. like he was a teenager most likely which at the time was pretty much considered an adult anyway, and the rose would slowly begin to wilt and die some years after his 21st birthday. As for chip still being a kid; I saw it as all the people that have been turned into objects are in a sort of purgatory, where they don't age as they are technically not "living" things at the moment- which could be seen as maybe a nice thing the witch did so they wouldn't technically have lost any of their human years lol? The beast was the only one turned into a sort of animal so he's still ageing. And not every enchanted thing in the castle is actually a human, the curse just made some random stuff sentient for ambiance I think lol.
@@andreasusnik This is one of those cases where the waters have been muddied somewhat by the film's own success, and subsequent expansions on the story. I mean, If you just count the original, then, yeah; it's reasonable to assume that some stuff in the castle is just animated because of the curse, and had no prior existence as a human before that - it's very much like that in the original fairy tale. But then you get into all the spin-offs - the (at least) two sequels, the comics, the cameos the characters have in other Disney stuff, the brief (very brief - I think it was cancelled) live-action kid's show with Belle as the host, on and on. Each and every one of these features new characters and new backstories, and all of a sudden, EVERYTHING'S alive in this castle. The chandeliers are alive! Random implements are alive! Hairbrushes and Christmas tree ornaments and goodness knows what else, and they all have their own 'why, back when I was a human' sort of backstories either told or implied. All of this is technically canon with the original film (or Disney says that it is), so either you ignore all that, or you acknowledge it - and if you acknowledge it, you get the mental picture of the Prince striding back into his castle post-transformation, to be greeted by a HUGE crowd of happy people, in a castle that is basically just bare walls and floors and nothing else.
@@Psycopathicus haha I haven't seen any of the expansions on the story but I see what you mean, I feel the good thing about the original is that they kept so much of that stuff vague/undefined so you could just assume what made the most sense and not be distracted by how much doesn't fully add up lol!
@@andreasusnik Agreed - over-explaining things is somewhat of an issue with more recent films, I feel. Back in the day, they just plain did not care, most of the time, and we were better off for it - you had to figure this stuff out on your own, if you even wanted to in the first place. I mean, if you compare, say, 'Batman Begins' to the '89 'Batman', the former goes into so much detail about how everything Batman-related works and where it comes from. You learn how he gets every single gadget in the cage, and how each of them works - in detail. For something like 45 minutes. Meanwhile, 'Batman' is all like 'BAAAA! Batmobile! WHOOSH! Flames! It stop when he say 'stop'! He use a smoke bomb; it go boom! BOOMY-BOOM BOOM! He got a thingy that shoot a line! He got a great big cave, an' a pet bat inna birdcage, an' a whole buncha computers - boy, he smart! - an' a big swooshy flyin' plane thingy, an' it look like the Bat-symbol! AWESOME!'
"All that to Chop some wood. That's extra as hell."
You've never chopped wood. It's quite a chore. I myself never managed to split a log. I could buck hay all day long, never could split my Pawpaw's oak wood for him.
Yeah I would never try to chop would rather be inside watching tv
That’s what she said 😏🤣🤣🤣
"She just cursed a little kid!"
...perhaps you should add Sleeping Beauty to your list, if you wanna talk about cursing little kids.
Him and Tarzan are the hottest male protagonists. 😏😏
Yes, thank you!!!
Lmao probably
Dang, you haven't seen a ton of these movies, now I feel like I gotta travel this journey with you!
It will be a long and fun journey
Your reaction just might be my favorite reaction to this movie ever. New subscriber! :D
Awwww thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
To answer your question, she said I love you right before the last petal fell so she indeed broke the spell. No resurrection needed.
Oh ok
i’m dying of laughter from your reaction to the Beasts human form😭😭😭
This is my favorite Disney movie! It was so cool seeing your reaction after you had only seen the remake. Emma Watson’s Belle has non of the sweetness that the original does. Fun fact: I saw that you noticed that Belle stands out in her blue dress; the only other character that wears blue in the movie is the beast during ballroom scene. You’re absolutely right that they interact a lot more in the animated version. That was one of my biggest complaints about the remake; that despite the movie literally being called Beauty and the Beast we didn’t see much interaction/chemistry between Belle and beast. If you’ve never listened to the soundtrack of Disney’s Broadway version, I would highly recommend it.
Yeah I will check it out. And yeah Emma Watson wasn’t a good belle
Thank you guys for the support on my last video hope you enjoy my commentary on beauty and the beast let me know your thoughts in the comments down below
The Witches 1990 Movie - Anjelica Huston & Mai Zetterling what movie name
"That was the perfect opportunity to eat him!" Yeah, but then we wouldn't have the rest of the movie lol
True belle probably would have liked him after that
@@LexisThoughts *would NOT*
@@LexisThoughts What the hell is wrong with you?? 😑😑
Beast is the hottest prince. I said it. 😂💜
you know what i kinda agree or at least top 3
Top three, the other two are Naveen and Flynn Rider/Eugene

@@ronaltgomez3423 For me, it’s Beast, Eric, Naveen, Li Shang, and then the rest.
I absolutely agree
the ballroom scene literally opened up our world to a whole knew era and beginning of cgi in shows and movies. You cant imagine how much time and effort went into that one area, it seriously was a marvel of its time. Beauty and The Beast opened gateways and sparked something we use to much now today 💙
28:55 That old guy has the same voice actor as Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Oh really makes sense
Girl, EVERYONE feels the same about Beast’s human form. We all wanted him to change back or stay as the beast. 😅
IKR he was so much cuter
@@abcd-mo5mo Adoption is just fine
Beauty and the Beast 1991 is my all time favorite film and your reactions were priceless! It was really interesting seeing reactions from someone who had only seen the (terrible) remake. Loved this video and thank you for making me laugh so much from your genuine and charming reactions.
Awwww thank you that is so sweet I’m glad you enjoyed my video that makes me happy
Disney's Beast is by far my favorite "version" of him.
I actually have a theory on how the enchantress might no be that cruel. Furniture don't age. At the very least not as fast as humans. And animals or rather beasts too. So maybe it may have been ten years but nobody aged. Which would mean that the enchantress could have cursed the castle when the beast was like twenty. Nobody aged despite ten years passing.
Hmmm that would make sense for the objects but I think the beast would still age a bit. And it’s still sad that the staff missed out in 10 years of the outside world.
I just found your channel and your reactions had me rolling. Thanks for the laugh. I'm gonna watch more videos.
I honestly don't think the servants aged like Beast did. Because while they were still alive, they are inanimate objects.
This is one of my favorite Disney movies, the Beast is a fantastic character in every aspect.
That would make sense and seems a bit less cruel
Lol. I notice your thirst for vengeance and I respect it.
Lmao thank you
No worries girl, we're all crushing on the beast hahah
Yeah true
This was in my recommendations and I absolutely loved it! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie and I love watching movie commentaries so I loved seeing your take on it. :) It really is a great film and it was great to watch it through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen it before! You have a new subscriber.
Awwww thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
“I would like you to eat him.😐” lmao!!
Lol yeah thought that would’ve been entertaining
I'm glad you realised why people hated the remake. This movie has so much emotion and even the animation and the shots...so much effort and skill was put into it. Also Belle is my fav because she is strong but feminine. The remake stripped Belle of that as well as her subtle charm. I hope you watch more 2D from the golden era of Disney...they really have so much heart and so much more natural. None of the remakes hold a candle to the originals in my opinion. As for the Beast...his human form is handsome although maybe they should have made his hair darker. The problem is as a human he isn't as powerful and large...he also no longer has his Beast voice which had more character...but I still love the pairing :)
Yeah I completely agree I really like belle in this movie compared to the remake
So a lot of people aren’t a fan of the human version of beast, and the animators said that ultimately no matter what design they chose for the human prince form no one was really going to enjoy th shift since it was the beast everyone fell in love with.
I really want 2D Hand Drawn Animation Back for Disney. I want it back so badly.
I bet it would be even more beautiful with today’s technology
@@LexisThoughts Thanks!
Check out The Prince Of Egypt, I suspect you'll really enjoy it.
Strictly speaking, Lumiere only mentions they haven't had a _guest_ in ten years, not that they've been cursed for that long.
I still find it hilarious that even Non-furries are disappointed when he turns human at the end XD. Whats even funnier is even Disney prefers him as a Beast to where any other media he's featured in he's ALWAYS in beast form XD
Lol we all preferred him as the beast.
IKR
When the movie was in production Disney arranged to show the New York Film Festival a rough cut, one that wasn't even fully animated, some scenes in black and white only
It got a 10 minute standing ovation
32:27 "The people in the painting are alive?????? THIS WICH NEEDS TO BE BURN!!! oMG!"
the funniest part kkkkkk. You keep hitting that key, huh...
Lol thank you glad you think I’m funny
I liked this original version better. I don’t mind the new one but it’s nothing compared to this.
True the new ones kinda boring
I love that you loved the og version. I might be wrong but it didn't look like you watched the movie during the songs and really bummed me out. But I'm so glad to have another in the club of the OG B&B
I did watch the movie I was also just jamming out and admiring the beast, editing made it seem so. Glad to be in the club
@@LexisThoughts btw I think the animators actually said they anticipated people to be disappointed with the human beast cause we learned to live the beast that anything they chose would be disappointing. If you think about it, any other Disney prince would have been disappointing too. Maybe Naveen....
@@teddobomb9037 true I fell in love with the beast the way he was he looks weird when human in general
According to the animator of Glen Keane, Beast is a combination of seven different species: the mane of a lion, the beard and head and horns of a buffalo, the brow of a gorilla, eyes of a human, the tusks of a wild boar, the body of a bear, and the legs and tail of a wolf
Growing up this was my fav disney movie. I kinda saw myself in Belle, thinking about the wish for adventure, being the only princess with brown hair and green eyes at the time.
Now I just find it weird, that she still decided to marry despite of her wish.
Lol, I think she had the adventure of a LIFETIME, I think she’s good now. 😂
Her eyes are hazel
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay No you're right, as a child tho all I wanted to see was the green in some shots where the lighting was different. lol
True she did marry after asking for adventure I guess one was good enough
wha... she DIDN'T MARRY ADAM! She is the only one at the end of the movie who didn't marry, there is an official BOOK with Belle and Adam's wedding, but they don't marry in the movie.... Yeah no, sorry, but no.
Seeing scenes of this film again, as well as how much you enjoy it, just makes me hate the live-action remake even more lol.
After watching this I hated the remake with a passion
But yes. THE VOICE
Right
Deep!
Beast- Go ahead and *STARRRRRRRVVVVVVEEE*
You- Aww 🥺❤️
Girl i understand you, beast was one of my first crushes as little girl and now too❤️🤣
40:01 BRO LMAO!!!! that was LITERALLY my reaction when I saw that scene! I'm so glad that I'm not the only that preferred his beast form!
Completely preferred his beast form
Idk why but the hair crust that the beast did was oddly satisfying 😩
I love his voice too😵💫
It’s amazing right
I love the fact that you have the same reaction to me when he turns human again “eww no” he goes from like a cute puppy dog to generic prince
Yes exactly
I think this is my favorite reaction to this wonderful movie. I love your observations, you really think about the setting of the film and how they animate certain things and I appreciate that. I think it's probably one of the classic Disney films that has aged well, where others... not so much.
One thing if you ever make the time: If you look at Gaston's eyes as he falls down the cliff, he has a skull and crossbones in his eyes. Cool little detail they added.
Awwww thanks I’m glad that you enjoyed my reaction and really never noticed that with gastons eyes
You have to watch the black cauldron. That movie houses one of Disney's most evil and probably the most scariest (and one of my favorite) villains of all their movies
KML, I think its Chips head- what a minute. Oh nvm he probably had a chipped tooth or something
That’s weird
bestreaction I've seen to his human form XD
you just channeled everylittle girl and potential boy's reaction t his human form.
the last line in the live action version about him growing a beard was almost put into this one XD
Him having a beard might make him easier to look at
There is a reason this was the first animated movie nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and one of my favorites of all time. Just stay far away from the live action travesty.
Also I sung Beauty and the Beast at my friends wedding, and having him and his bride dance to it was an unexplainable experience.
i love both beauty and the beast live action and animated
True
"What is a barge?"
It's a type of boat. It's very big, with a flat bottom, designed to carry cargo, usually on canals or rivers.
A lot of children deserve to be cursed. I'm 15 and it sure as hell would teach us some sense
I still think there were better ways to teach the beast then cursing him especially since he was barely even a teenager
This was my favorite when I was a little girl. And I also hated the remake.
Yeah it’s such a great movie the remake sucks in comparison
There we go. Bravo. 👏👏👏
I love how passionate you get watching these movies. It draws me more into them even when I’ve seen them hundreds of times. ❤️
I will say that the whole plucking feathers/servants losing body parts thing is made more confusing in the remake, since we see the piano shooting his keys at people and then missing teeth when he turns human again. That seems to confirm that each part of their enchanted bodies coincides with a part of their human bodies, but then we see Chip’s saucer break when the curse sets in and yet when he turns human again, he has his whole body. Shouldn’t he have been missing his legs???
That is a great point they really did not need to include that in the remake
Screw any remake. Screw'em. I hope you never ever watched the Aladdin remake.
I did and hated it lol
It says something about Chip doesn’t it?
When he needs to rescue Belle and Maurice, what does he do? *Look for the biggest, sharpest thing he can find…* - he’s a typical child. It’s big and shiny, so it doesn’t matter if it’s dangerous.
As for how old the Beast was - according to Lumiere in “Be Our Guest”, the Beast was *eleven* when he was cursed (“Ten years we’ve been rusting”).
I also like Lumiere’s wisdom. If you’re stressed, eat.
Beast definitely awakened some primal part of me that gets turnt from a deep, animalistic, growly voice and muscles. Horniness for beast aside, ive always been in love with this movie. It was my mom's favorite disney movie and its my favorite movie of all time. It always makes me emotional and i can quote it word for word😂
Edit: I also agree with u that Evermore was the best part of the remake lmao. I loVe that song
I... honestly had a MEGA crush on Beast as a kid because of how big and cool he was. Like I was honestly disappointed when he changed back into a man LMAO.
Interesting fact: There’s a theory that Jane from Tarzan is the granddaughter of Belle. Which I find to be plausible considering that Mrs. Potts & Chip can be seen in the “Trashin’ The Camp” scene in Tarzan. Plus, both the Beast and Tarzan are animated by the same animator, Glen Keane. Not to mention, if there’s one thing Belle and Jane have in common, other than having brown hair, they both have a thing for falling in love with unusual guys.
People have brought up the whole 11-year-old being cursed for a decade thing a lot, so much that Disney decided to pull time dilation into the equation with their live action remake. Personally I prefer the explanation that fey are just jerks.
Fun fact: The Asylum owner is voiced by the late Tony Jay, who also stared in the live-action Beauty and the Beast series from the late 80's
The beast eating Maurice in that moment was a take I’ve never considered but I love it so much 😂
Would’ve made the movie so much more entertaining
@@LexisThoughts Except the Beast is supposed to be the flawed hero of this story opposite Belle as the one to rescue him and his servants from their curse. Gaston is the embodiment of toxic masculinity & an insecure boorish git.
Hay The Beast is so beautiful when he become human😡😡😡😡🔪
Fun fact for you. This was the very first animated movie to ever be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. And it was the first animated movie to incorporate CGI in a scene, which was the Beauty & the Beast dance scene. The whole ballroom was completely done in CGI, only Belle & the Beast were hand drawn.
It is a completely beautiful movie
Loved your reaction!!! Your channel is so underrated!!!
Thank you
A family member of mine had the exact same reaction as you to Beasts human form XD
That family member has taste and can realize the downgrade of the human form of the beast
I like your commentary. It was cool 😎. I always describe the live action remake as the Broadway show in movie form if you've ever seen the Broadway show. But this movie is definitely a classic and it is celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
I'm glad
3:57 yep. Done watching.
AAA there is this song from the Broadway version of this movie called "If I Can't Love Her" sung by the beast... It's one of my favourites
That sounds cool is it like evermore from the remake
@@LexisThoughts It's actually after Belle runs away when the beast scares her, before the wolf attack I think, I can't remember properly
