Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.
Directed by Oscar® winner Bill Condon from a screenplay by TBD based on the 1991 animated film, the film is produced by Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman with eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who won two Academy Awards® (Best Original Score and Best Song) for the 1991 animated film, providing the score, which will include new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as several new songs written by Menken and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice.
Hope you all enjoyed these secrets and theories about The Enchantress! 😀
Do you think she's kind or cruel in the new Beauty And The Beast movie?

Thanks, Jan! I don't think the Enchantress is cruel... she's likely a believer of "tough love".
You're very welcome, Vesuvi! Yes, you're probably right and she's getting him back on the straight and narrow the best way she knows how! :-)
😁
I'd say not just Beast and the servants, but also the towns people as they were also condoning the prince's behavior. Belle and Her father never quite fitting in because they were free thinking and inventive.
I could have sworn Emma Thompson/Mrs. Potts was the narrator. Sounds just like her in this movie...
I like that the Enchantress got a bigger role in this movie. It makes sense that she would hang around to see how everything went and if the prince was working to break the spell.
Definitely, me too! :-)
my thoughts exactly
But did she have to wait until the last minute to hear the words I love you lady you do not see true love when you see it. This prince has sacrificed himself for Belle. From a sexual predator.
Even magic has its way of bending the rules.
Expanding her role and appearance really made the magic about this version so much better.
Yes, it really added to the story, I agree! :-)
I was thinking maybe the enchantress could be Belle's mother because we never actually see her mom die, Maurice takes baby Belle away before the plague takes her. But does it? Although now I'm thinking maybe she's the prince's mother. Teaching her son a lesson about love and being a decent person, reversing what his father did to him. Instead of just letting the curse take place, she keeps an eye on them and when she sees that Belle really does love him, she reverses the curse not only for Belle, but for herself because she didn't want her son to die.
That's a really interesting point, Abbey, about Belle's mother. I thought it was very intriguing that Disney produced that YA novel where the Enchantress is actually Belle's mum! :-)
Abbey Kat The enchantress is not the beasts mother because they show her die in the movie!
Hamza Khalid but if she was secretly a fairy or something she could've been reincarnated somehow
Abbey Kat umm did u see the remake movie yet? We found out what happened to her mom
Julie Han I've seen it 3 times actually, and yes they implied that she died but we didn't actually see it. Maybe she used some kind of magic to cure herself after Maurice left with Belle
I relived my childhood seeing this movie. Any time Emma sang, I cried. All of the music made me cry, really. It reminded me why I loved this movie so much; I identified with Belle because she loved books and she felt like an outcast, both of which are still true. This seriously deserves a 2018 Oscar nomination, as well as the cast.
Aw, that's wonderful it meant so much to you, Miranda. It really is a very emotional film, isn't it. I'll be very interested to see if any of Alan Menken and Tim Rice's new songs get awards nods next year. :-)
This cast and the music showed me how powerful Disney Magic is. 😄
Miranda Miller I watched this movie with my fiancee and everytime belle sang... she would sang along like a 9yr old girl...
Me too!! 😭 I had all the chills! If it doesn't at least get an Oscar for animation and costuming I'mma be pissed 😡😡
I don't think she's cruel at all. She was trying to not only teach the prince a lesson but save him from a worse fate. I think that maybe she had Belle in mind for him all along and that's why she led Maurice to the castle in the first place. She intervened on several occasions and showed compassion, not cruelty. I really liked her character in this version. I don't think she's Belle's mother though and doubt she's the prince's. His mother may have sent her though... ?
The one think I really loved about this movie is that with every pedal fallen the hole castle was grumbling and eventually if the beast was not going to find true love and remain a beast forever the hole castle was meant to be distroyed and disapear from the face of earth like there was never there.
Yes, this movie really raised the stakes on what would happen to the Beast and everyone if that curse wasn't lifted this time, Sophia. :-)
Σοφία, υπέροχη η παρατήρησή σου! Αυτές οι εντυπωσιακές λεπτομέρειες είναι ιδιαίτερα έξυπνες!
This movie is simply amazing to me. I'm a production designer and just looking at all the period accurate costumes and sets just blows my mind. I know how hard of work it is to make something period accurate and it adds another level to the film for me. Another thing is seeing all those extras in the opening town scene dancing along and singing blows my mind. Extras tend to do whatever the hell they want and seeing them all so well coordinated just threw me through a loop.
RylieCollins I wish I lived in that time period so bad.
Really loved how Disney added more about the Enchantress. And I really like what you said about the Enchantress being a mother figure for the Beast. Feel like that is definitely true because the Beast needed an intervention! Really loved the ending to the new movie. It was definitely an emotional moment when they turned into the antiques. And liked how they still had Belle say I love you as that was a cue to the Enchantress that she loved Beast. Thanks for sharing!
Love the way you put it about the Beast needing an intervention! :-) The way they tweaked the ending was very effective, I agree, and yes, very emotional seeing everyone turn into ordinary antiques. Loved seeing how they transformed back again too, for instance, the way Plumette emerged from a pile of feathers! :-)
Yes! Loved how they transformed too!!!
I think the enchantress IS the wolves. The wolves stop Belle from escaping the castle, fighting and losing to the Beast and prompting Belle's decision to return with him. The next time we see Agatha she is nursing Maurice and has a black eye and a long cut on her face. I think these injuries are as a result of the fight with the Beast.
I never thought about that!!! Good catch!!
Just like Jafar was the flying horsemen who kidnapped the Sultan and carpet in the Return of Jafar (1994)
Woah Kate Flanigan that’s so cool!
I like how it shows the Enchantress more in this movie. Watching the cartoon I always wondered what happened to the Enchantress at the end. In the cartoon it seems like the Enchantress is the bad guy. She curses the prince and disappears. It was great in this one how she kept an eye on the curse and was the one that broke it at the end. Although I did miss the magic fireworks changing everything back...
I too took note of Mrs Potts accepting responsibility on behalf of all of the staff, for doing nothing to stop the prince and this being the reason that they too were punished too. They were not innocent victims of an indiscriminately cast spell.
I think it was a fantastic idea that they decided to do that in this movie version.
I *LOVED* the ending :D
Same here! :-)
i'm thinking about owl, because for me is the ester egg about Harry Potter :) Enchantress can be witch from Hogwart :D
haha, it's all connected, Martyna! ;-)
As always, a very enlightening video. Thank you, Jen. I liked how they added more to various supporting roles in the new movie. It's interesting to know now that the inspiration comes from the historical period and the original text. Very cool!
Thanks so much, Alice - so pleased you've been finding my videos interesting! :-) Yes, I liked the way they beefed up some of the supporting roles too, for example, the way Maurice's character was more developed this time.
As soon as Agatha helped Maurice I had an inkling that she might be more than what she appeared and then when I saw the owl (Greek mythology/Athena) I knew who she was and was happy every time she showed up. When Gaston insulted her as not being worthy of being a witness I thought to myself, "Buddy, you're toast!"
He was toast from the very beginning calling Agatha a fatherless beggar without a father. Agatha was younger at the beginning of the movie and aged. Do we know what her true intentions were that she had a special love interest in him to support her financially.
thank you for clearing up the. it at the end. I was confused as to why she was there. For some reason I didn't see the connection that the enchantress broke the spell and not Belle. Like cogsoworth said "So much for true love."
after I saw the live action beauty and the beast movie I think Agatha wanted the beast to fall in love with Belle cuz when I read the novel of this movie Belle gives her a piece of bread and is very nice to her :)
I didn't notice the owl because I too busy stuffing my face with popcorn!
She is one of my favorite characters.
Yes, she's so intriguing, isn't she, Makayla?! :-)
Thank you for posting this. When I went to see Beauty and the Beast, the theater was having technical errors and started the movie at Belle's opening number and we missed the entire Enchantress story. I felt throughout the movie I was missing large pieces due to missing these crucial first few minutes. This at least helps me fill in the gaps until I can see the movie again, whether in theaters or DVD release!
I thought the owl was Hedwig from Harry Potter :)
I think this one's a barn owl, rather than a snowy owl like Hedwig. But given HP's got an owl, magic connection confirmed! :-)
i first thought that too I was like: Hedwig!!! then i realised it wasn't hedwig and i was like: It should've been Hedwig
Omg yes :)
It feels like she's like Maleficent: Neither villain or hero, more like a mix of both who does evil but necessary deeds to restore balance and set things right.
I was actually the person to originally come up with the "the Enchantress is Belle's mother" theory. I have proof in that I wrote about it 6 months before the "Old as Time" book came out, and I posted it online, with a time stamp verification. But I keep getting quite a bit of rude replies and harassment from others whenever I mention this, so I won't speak further about it.
Anyways, I now think that the Enchantress was a mother figure for the Beast after his birth mother died. Her name in the film, Agathe, matches that of the surrogate mother / guardian / nanny for the "Lost Prince", Louis XVII. She raised him like her own son, was devastated when he disappeared during the French Revolution, and even (like the grandmother in the movie "Anastasia") judged men who later claimed to be the "Lost Prince" in order to claim the French throne.
Amber Goldsmith I'm french, and what you said right!
Amber Goldsmith I'm sure other people have thought of it first but just didn't say anything
Plus, since you're French, you'd know the "Tale as Old as Time" is actually based on the 1547 marriage of "beast" Petrus Gonzalvus and his wife Catherine. Gabriela Suzanne's version was written in the 1970's, based on their union.
Amber Goldsmith no bit she played the beast dead mum
I enjoy this new version so much. That I can't stop from re-watching it over and over again.
I love how your voice sounds in the videos usually others videos about Disney are really serious and the pictures are clear and explained really well
Finally! I would always wanna know about her
:-)
I love this change as it simply makes a little more sense and fixes even the most miniscule of problems with the original masterpiece
I agree, Róisín, they dealt really well with many of the little inconsistencies in the original movie - not that those inconsistencies could ever spoil that movie, it's such a wonderful film. :-)
I would love them to make a prequel about the enchantress
Absolutely loving all of these interesting insights you've been providing into this wonderful film. Thank you.
You're very welcome, Andre. Makes me happy you've been enjoying them! :-)
I love these beauty and the beast you make! 😍❤
Aw, thanks so much, Alexandra! :-)
One of my favorite parts was the very beginning of the movie was the very beginning when the sparkles went over the beasts castle to look like the Disney castle. I thought that was really creative👍🦄🌹🥀🌹
I like the actress who played the enchantress. Think this character is pretty bad @$$. She like, manipulated the situation and everything; match-making, healing and yikes...killing. Subtle but definitely bad @$$.
Yes, I thought Hattie Morahan played the part very well, Rona, and liked her narration over the prologue too. And you're certainly right about her character certainly getting plenty more intriguing stuff to do this time! :-)
Am I the only one who prefers animated Enchantress over the live action one??? It gave her much more mystery and having her just during prologue provided even deeper meaning to 'you need to pay for your mistakes' (like karma)
In 2017, she appeared out of nowhere at the ball, not to mention her walking in like a cheap Scary movie zombie... Prince didn't turn her away, neither begged for mercy. In the finale, I dislike how soooo much attention was put into her
instead of Belle & Beast - she could reverse the curse from afar, not to come inside.
Btw, her role being expanded is nothing new, it was already done way before this remake, in 2011 Beastly - Mary Kate Olsen played her and she did interfere through the story.
I would love to see a movie with Agatha or the Enchantress as the main character. To see a person with so much power as seen in the new Beauty and the beast movie bears the question of, "Who is this person and where does she come from?"
Loved this live version of Beauty & the Beast. Thank you Bill Condon cast & crew for breathing additional life into an Alan Menken & the late Howard Ashman score for giving a Beast his soul...The casting, filming, costuming, location, & score were beautifully combined, and while I loved all the characters, Gaston stole the show for me personally...loved the expanded role of the Enchantress too with her guiding hand, but also wish some of the deleted scenes had made it into the original film to round out this live version of the story...I have to admit I was perplexed with the ending of the movie as the last petal fell and Belle had not yet declared her love for Beast. After hearing this secrets montage, it makes sense; even tho the beginning of the movie dictates that if he could love & have someone love him in return before the last petal fell could make for an interesting debate.
I liked how they added more about her mother in it
I loved seeing more of the Enchantress. I didn't find her cruel at all. Turning the prince into the beast was warranted--and there wouldn't have been any story without that happening. :) I enjoyed seeing more of her in the live-action version, just as I loved all the backstory that was conveyed in the live-action. The ending was perfect. Until you mentioned in this video that the Enchantress reversed the fallen rose petals, I hadn't really thought much about that. I did wonder why Belle didn't tell the Beast she loved him before the final petal fell and before the Beast died and the other characters became simply "antiques." Your theory on this was perfect and added a new dimension to the movie, which was already a wonderful piece of storytelling!
After watching the film I figured the owl was her familiar.
This is great, I always wondered where the sorcerer came from, I love the princes mother take you talked about, especially the painting that was ripped by the beast it makes sense =)
I think the Enchantress was probably a faerie (the mythological kind, not the tinkerbell kind); not only were faeries known to occasionally disguise themselves, not only were their true forms explicitly said to possess otherworldly beauty, but they were also notorious for cursing humans who didn't treat them with respect, and rarely cared for the potential collateral damage of their pranks. They weren't necessarily evil, their concepts of morality were just alien to mortal men. In the Enchantress' case, she figured she'd test this mortal for whatever reason, then when he failed the test she punished him--and the servants just happened to get caught in the crossfire.
(I am female, I just use my husband's log-in.) I loved the cartoon version of course but love the live action version even more! I loved how the live action version showed the castle servants turning into inanimate objects and although I KNOW they will be restored back into their human form, I STILL tear up each time I watch it, as they say their goodbyes. I also LOVE how the coat rack's final act is catching Chip (so he doesn't break like the saucer did) and gently place him by his Mother! Great call on ALL OF THAT! The entire part was beautifully done and showed what a true family they all had become. It was one of the greatest parts (in my opinion) of the movie. And although it COULD have NOT been shown (as the Disney movie did not portray it) it added so much to the overall movie I feel. Bravo!!
This lends weight to my feeling that the enchantress did not want the Beast curse to become permanent.
The Enchantress is the Beast's Fairy Godmother
In the 1991 animated original, the prologue was spoken by Cogsworth. In the 2017 live-action remake, the prologue was spoken by the enchantress Agathe herself.
Thank you for expanding upon the story of the enchantress in a older version I watched (sorry I've no links) the beast is revived but not transformed into his human form as it stands true to the title beauty and the beast she marries the beast and the enchanted objects such as clogsworth stays a clock and they seem to be happy about it I love that twist it seems more well interesting thanks for the great expansion on agatha your videos make my day
Not really they are just hiding their true feelings I wish I could have done more and helped the innocent villagers from fighting us rather than attacking us since they are technically family. There are other ways the villagers could have just turned on Gaston and put him into the insane asylum or killed him
Thank you so much for the interpretation and the theories ! Agatha's character really put everything into perspective. I loved the movie a lot especially when the beast sings " Evermore" that was an emotional scene
The ending was awesome 👏 but Gaston is 😳
Fun fact: Hattie Morahan (the Enchantress) played opposite Dan Stevens ( the Beast) in a TV version of Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility a few years before this.
Mrs. Potts' throwaway line about the servants being cursed because of their partial responsibility in how the Beast turned out is a neat way to "fix" the "problem" of why they were cursed too… except there was no such problem to begin with, even in the original version.
The thing is, the Beast was cursed because of his own selfishness and lack of empathy, alright. But his selfishness does not only affect himself, it's something that ends up making everyone miserable, including his loved ones. It makes perfect sense for his servants to be cursed too, because that taught him (and the audience) that one's selfishness has very real consequences on other people's lives too, even if they have no fault of their own. Indeed, the fact that it has consequences on and makes faultless people miserable too was the whole point, in my opinion. Perhaps too subtle a point for someone, I concede, which is why I don't take umbrage with this little change.
i got into a beauty and the beast musical, auditioning for a main part and i got the enchantress part :)
Awesome video! I've been thinking the same thing. The Enchantress and Cinderella's Fairy Godmother are very similar because they do the same thing, which is disguising as a dirty old lady and revealing their magical true self. However, Cinderella treats the Fairy Godmother nicely so the fairy helps her; while the beast, gets cursed because of being rude and arrogant.
In this case, the Enchantress looks more like a fairy with that bright light around her. However, another version says that she's a witch.
I love both Helena Bonham Carter and Hattie Morahan. Their acting is great and their faces fit the characters.
It seems a bit unfair for the Enchantress to leave Gaston to his own devices and not try to whip him into shape, considering he's just as bad if not worse than the Prince was pre-curse. I get that the Prince is more politically powerful than some hunter in a small village, but Agathe was around Gaston for a decade in Villeneuve and did nothing to help him, and then he even ends up DEAD in the end for his trouble. All the while, the Prince gets cured of his dark heart and ends up happy with Belle. I just see it as unjust when both men were awful and needed her help.
There was no point in helping Gaston as he was clearly so bad that even cursing him would not have had any effect.
Also she likely cursed the prince because a prince should be kind and caring for the sake of his people, it wasn't like he was just some random person.
Clearly she could have ended the curse way earlier Belle I am going to introduce you to a sad reclusive beast that I have unjustly cursed. While there is this jerk who wants to relive his glory days from the war. Lefou who is being taken along for the ride under false promises.
The character development overall was so much better in this movie, and every actor did a fantastic job!
I CAN *_NOT_* WAIT UNTIL I CAN SEE THIS MOVIE.
at first I thought this was enchantress suicide squad boy was I wrong lol
haha, yeah, just a bit different, Tom! ;-) Hope all's well with you! :-)
I thought its marvel one! Lol you know Amora!...
I noticed something. Remember what the Beast looked like in the 18th-century French story of Beauty And The Beast by Gabrielle-Suzanne? Look at the sword fighting scene in the song 'Gaston' The moment he poses after the sword fight, I can see the 18th-century BEAST! See for yourself! 8:24 PAUSE and look at that wolf-like creature! It looked like the Beast! It looked so similiar! I mean look at the FANGS!
I love that the enchantress has a big role in the movie because she is one the one that helps the story move along and and is actually helping and leading Maurice in the castle in the movie made belle arrive to save him and hem meeting so the enchantress is basically the one that is the helper.
Part of me wishes Gaston had survived, simply so the Enchantress could hex him next. I absolutely loved Agatha in this film as soon as we saw her on screen me and my Bestie knew she was going to be important as she just seemed like one of those characters that was more than just background.
I think my only gripe with this move (2 technically) is that I wish they had used the deleted version of Days in the Sun, and that the Beast's transformation at the end more closely resembled transformation sequence in the original e.g. used the coloured magical rain, I really loved that in the original. other than that I loved everything about it. The stakes felt higher and I honestly found myself far more emotionally invested in the characters this time around.
had anybody notice that in the movie (quick spoilers) when bell is being dragged in the acumeme cart that the 3 girls were smiling and laughing at her. and that the 3 girls got weapons and comes with Gaston and everybody else to the beasts castle (which had you notice is shaped like the rose the enchantress/adaga/bells/beast's mother (a theory on my own.) gave him) and attract it. just shows that those girls love Gaston and follow
his behavior though out the film even if he doe's go WAY to far and cross the line (well in
bells eyes) when he doe's try to put moruese in the assume. even lafu regrets following Gaston's plot trough out the film and that Mrs. pots says ''your too good for him any ways''
meaning that lafu should let him go. and that I think the enchantress is bells mother after she left her crude husband and died to come as adaga to brake the spell after one of the castle's bridges fall down, thus killing Gaston. I bet those girls are crying right now. in my head watching it I was like ''sorry girls even though that Gaston's my second favert Disney villain w/h 1st one being jafar because addladen is my 1st fav Disney film (true fact) which means this is my 2ed fav Disney film fairy tale he still was a jerk to bell and kind of deserve it.'' * I know I gave away a lot more than I got but I couldn't help it.
i absolutely love the new movie and the additions and changes they made with e.g. the cursing scene - the pictures are gorgeous! and the songs are beautiful! if you haven't yet, i highly recommend go watching it!
I think the expanded role of the enchantress made the story more magical. Having her around more and watching showed she wasn't just some angry crone who cursed a little boy. The curse while harsh was truly something she wanted him to learn from. And having her around also showed how magic is a living thing not just as simple as snap here's a curse. I loved how the castle would crumble more with each petal falling. The fact that it was also then the enchantress using the cursed object essentially ( the rose ) to undo the curse played more into that feeling of magic having life. All in all very good move imo.
If I were a character in the castle after I had changed back I would’ve told the enchantress “You’re coming with me!” And lock her in the dungeon for life
I absolutely love your Beauty and the Beast videos!
I agree totally with everything you say here.
But how do we know Adams parents are dead? It's never mentioned?
I thought the enchantress is the one who was entrusted by the queen to take care of her son (maybe they used to be great friends). That is why she care about the prince so much and guided such a 'lesson' to both the prince and his potential princess. Besides, I did not think Gaston really got death in the end. In most fictional scenes, characters did not die even they fall down from some high and dangerous places. I used to think this is a clue to the sequel (fan disc).
It makes more sense in this movie the enchantress appearance more often,though had lack of tender moments between Belle and the Beast,Bill focused more in made it clear some things in the animated version but didn't focused too much in the tenderness of the Beast towards Belle,just that 😊
ummmmmm considering the prince was originally 10 years old lolololol
This year's adaptation remained true to its spellbinding feels. Totally love it!
I think that she was probably included more because in the original she just abandons the Prince but to prevent her from becoming a bad character she watches over the beast and ensures that he learns his lesson. Also since she watched over it all it shows that she never wanted him to suffer and always intended for him to be free again. And with regard to things like Maurice taking the rose and things it was probably because you can't make a film for children teaching kids to marry abusive people so I think Maurice took a rose to give the beast a reason to be angry instead of just being cruel. also it was beasts dad's fault he was horrible and the film tells you this, telling children that beast isn't actually horrible and belle hasn't married and abusive person
loved this video!!! brought up some really interesting points. particularly about the enchantress being a parent figure !!!
Aw, that's lovely to hear, thanks, Carter! So pleased you found it interesting. :-)
I like it when the old woman transforms into the enchantress and when belle sings on the hill top
I don't think the enchantress necessarily reversed the spell. I think she saw Belle's love for the Beast as she was hovered over him shedding tears. This was before the last petal fell.
I liked how she was included in the LA.
I always wonder what is the enchantress and what does she know about the prince anyway. Could she be I dunno related to him.
I think the enchantress is Belle's mother because we never see her die from the plague. Both Belle's mom and the enchantress have an obsession with roses. This explains why she helps Maurice , who was her former husband, and gives her daughter more time with the Beast.
Robbie Crawford we never saw her die but back then(and kind of now) having the plague meant death. There was no cure and a 1/1000 chance you could somehow survive it.
My first reaction to this was mind blown I did not see that coming.
Great video! :-)
Awesome video 🙌🏽
The association with the owl, recalls the goddess Minerva; and her rôle, indeed, is that of a tutelary goddess or 'fairy godmother' over the entire territory.
Agathe is the mother of Belle. you can find many same items in where Agathe lives in the forest and where Belle traveled with beast. please look very carefully in those two moments and compare. you can find the same candle holder, old brown vase and teacup beside belles mothers old bed. you can find them in Agathes place in the forest. i am sure that the movie director put those key items on purpose and i had a fun time finding them:-) and remember the enchantress Agathe can change and erase peoples memories. belles mother in that traveled with beast moment the actress was a different person and so her father. They could have use the same actor for her fathers roll but they didnt on purpose. different actress doesnt mean that Agathe isnt belles mother. look at the painting, belles mother looked exact like Agathe in the end.
Hi Jan, where did you get your sources for the 18th century version by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. I am really interested in doing more research on this.
Plus, It was GASTON who left him there.LeFou wanted to help Maurice
Lefou could have just have stranded up to Gaston and said I am tired of settling for second best.
When I saw the original cartoon version I wondered if the mother had a fairy be a god mother to her daughter. Hearing this video it seems sensible that if Belle's mother had been a fairy her sister might look after her niece. Who's to say that a fairy who married a human might have to give up her magical heritage. Her sister might not have had to give up her fairy heritage having never married a mortal and from a distance could care for her niece's future.
I saw the illustration of the beast (by Walter Crane) at 2:07 as a wall plaque in 8:24 live-action scene . Is that just a coincidence or did they do that deliberately as a tribute to the beast's original appearance🤔🤨
Wow so amazing
Well I agree that the Encnantress might be sent by the prince's mofher in order to show him the right path in life .I would also like a meeting between the enchantress in the form of the old lady and Belle .. like a test for Belle if she could be the one to brake the curse ..She could have visited Belle and asked her hepl and kind Belle ofcourse helped the old woman ...so that the disguised Enchantress understoond her kindness ..Or the enchantress could visit the prince in the ending ball ( with the form of the old woman again ) and he ghen would treat her good and offer he help so that she saw that he had really changed
Did you know that 30 years ago came out the movie the beast before beauty and the beast
There are other things, worth also to notice. In Beauty and the Beast, The Enchanted Christmas, we learn that the Beast can't read, and Belle teaches him. In the new real-life version, the Beast have got a proper education, and taking the place as a private pupil with Belle, is in stead a little town girl.
Marianne Jensen I think the beast could read in the original. Considering from the story, he was a boy so he went to school. Since he was already really rich obviously his parents would send him to the best school out there. He asked Belle to read because he wanted to hear her read and also because he hasn't read in so long he needed to catch up again. But he obviously knew how to read before, he just hasn't done sit in a while probably
Well he might have been mentally delayed because he might find a book is too hard to read.
What an amazing breakdown!
Thanks so much, Jimmy! So glad you enjoyed it! :-)
The Enchantress isn't a bad character or villain, she is sent down to earth 🌎 not to harmed everyone but to teach the cold hearted prince a terrible lesson
Nice Job Again!
I absolutely love the character of The Enchantress in the live action movie!
I wished in the end Belle wore her yellow dress and the price in his blue suit
If you watch the second movie beauty and the beast you can see the enchantress turn the young prince into a beast when he was 11 years old. Also the second movie explains a lot of things that the first movie didn't.
i would have to agree on what you have said but at first i was thinking that the enchantress was belle's mother but i think it would make more sence that the enchantress is the beast mother so my question is from all the other channel that tried to rule in on this between belle and her mother since i seen a video on where belle's mother has a dress with a rose on it and roses behind her and belle. also could it have been possible that belle's mother and the beast had something going after belle was born
I'd say the Enchantress is neither good nor bad. She's a magical being, barely affected by the mortal realm, and as such, can behave however she pleases, no matter the moral implications. It's kinda like trying to argue with a hurricane, you kind have a toss up of whether or not you'd survive something so powerful while doing something so stupid.
I like to think it's a nod to the YA novel and she is his mother come back to make sure he turned out alright and loved. The actress who played the enchantess and the one they used for the painting are very similar looking. So mother or godmother?
I love that the curse was permanent towards the end while the animated film even after the beast dies you don't see the rest of the characters becoming inanimate objects while this version they turn back to inanimate objects.
I thought that was a lovely addition to the movie too, Raghu, the way they slowly became more like objects (gaining feathers or their joints seizing up more) until at the very end they were totally inanimate. And I loved the way they came back to life as well, for example, Plumette appeared out of a pile of feathers! :-)
I loved that as well. I like the slight changes they made to the film where the cursed was lifted by the Enchantress but in the animated movie Bell's love to the Beast is what set everyone free reverting everyone back to human. I also loved the voice Cast as well and most of the actors had similar voice characteristics to David Ogden Steirs, Jerry Orbach, Angela Lansbery, Robbie Benson, Paige O' Hara. Some of the actors sounded like the younger versions of Lumiere, Bell while Dan Steven's voice was close to Robbie Benson's voice but I feel they modulated that to match it Benson's which I thought was perfect.
in the animated version the last petal falls right after belle says "I love you". that's why they don't turn into unanimated objects cause she got to say "I love you" just in time. in the movie she says I love you after the petal falls but the enchantress was there to see it and broke the curse
+ Raghu Seetharaman, Yes, that was a lovely change with the way the curse was lifted, Raghu, and I mostly agree with you about the actors too. I loved the movie, though felt Ewan McGregor had a few issues with his French accent, though it certainly didn't spoil the film, for me at least, and I enjoyed his performance overall. Be Our Guest was magnificent! As for Emma Thompson, I loved her singing the BATB title track "Tale As Old As Time" and thought she put a lovely spin on her character - though I do adore Angela Lansbury as Mrs Potts. :-)
+ Ioana Irimescu Good point, Ioana! :-)
Humm, i think when aggy cursed the Prince, She too lost her magic and became a beggar, The only way she could regain her magic was to see or hear Belle confess her love for the beast and when she did, she regained her powers and reverse the curse.
