Are things changed in most music to rhyme in French? The lyrics have definitely been changed, but would probably sound silly literally translated I guess.
Great point! Yes, it's very common to slightly change the lyrics when translating songs into other languages. As you say, if the lyrics were translated literally they might not rhyme or fit with the music.
Yes. French is a melodic language and English isn’t. “C’est la fete” (It’s the party) wasn’t sung in the English version, it was changed to “Be our guest” because “C’est la fete” melodically sounds like “Be our guest.” “Say lah fet” is said in three syllables as is “Be our guest”. Yes, I’m hella smart to figure that out.
J'aime beaucoup les videos de FluentU! Ils me sont aident de améliorer mon français. J'entends que Lumiere a un accent pas francais. Quel accent a-t-il? Merci!
Learn French through immersion. Netflix, story dialogues, courses, and more! t.ly/GVWsG

C'est génial! Merçi beaucoup, Fluent U ❤
You're welcome! We're glad you liked it!
Why is this song wildly different than I remember 😂 love the French version so much better
Because in English they say « Be our guest » instead of c’est la fete
C’est fantastique! Merci beaucoup!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Also, notice how the VA for Lumiere went for rolled r's to sound like Maurice Chevalier! (from what I've heard)

If you have Disney+, you can watch the full movie there. For me, the French dub of BATB is available there.
