These were my best and worst changes for Beauty And The Beast 2017 vs 1991! What did you most enjoy and least like about the new live-action version?! 😉 *NEW Beauty And The Beast video just uploaded!* *Movie Mistakes & Plot Holes* ► ruclips.net/video/6UfMiji866s/видео.html For my full Beauty And The Beast playlist click here ► ruclips.net/p/PLi8DA5V4mmmfXbSdLMUZfGHtNlXJr4vtx
Peppermint Queen - Hehe. I didn't exactly feel that way, but I thought that the actor is not big or handsome enough (although he looked more handsome in the film than in his interviews). Stevens is rather thin whereas the prince in the animated version was tall and more muscular-looking, so the stature of the beast was not lost. Hence, the transformation wasn't awkward.
I really liked that when Belle asks why the servants were punished too because they did nothing, Mrs. Potts says that she's right they did nothing when his father turned him into a cad. In the animated version you never hear that. I always assumed that the servants were punished because they raised him in the animated version. It was nice to hear them take some responsibility.
train a child when they are young,and when they are old they shall not depart from it. That Prince might have been a beast to people who were beneath him, but his servants had seen this happening and did not punish him. This is what happens when you don't discipline your children, let them get away with everything. they grow up spoiled, Selfish, and unkind.
It is the job of the king to rule, yes -- but it is the job of the people to stop him when he goes wrong. To quote the webcomic _Freefall_, "One of the surest ways to help someone fail is to obey their every order without question."
Well, I'll tell you what I DIDN'T do when I was a kid: I didn't eat four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. Nor do I eat five dozen eggs today, nor am I roughly the size of a barge.
my favorite change was having them be forgotten by the towns people because of the spell, it was something that always bothered me about the original as to why no one knew of this castle
I didn't like that they removed the dialogue when he turns back human: Him: Belle, it's me (she looks into his eyes while moving a piece of hair out of his face) her: It Is You!
pbriian Ikr? Everyone's complaining about that and they don't seem to realize it's one of the few mistakes fixed from the old movie. Though I would have liked them to have scripted something like the original lines instead of them just slowly getting closer to each other before kissing, it's not as romantic as the original without them saying anything.
When I saw it the first time and I saw there was no dialogue at all after the transformation, I was a little disappointed. However, I saw it a second time and instead of focusing on that I tried to focus more on the emotion of the scene, and I think that even without dialogue, the actions of both Belle and the Prince (especially when Belle looks into his eyes and reacts) is just right for the scene!
My best friend and I fell in absolute love with that song. The moment we were out of the theater? "Target's next door. We're getting the soundtrack." We saw it again with another friend three days later. I had it memorized.
I cried there too!! I also cried during the song where the cursed servants sang about their pasts....and also the ballroom scene....and when the servants turned into inanimate objects...yeah okay maybe I'm just a wuss! Hehehehe
I would love if they included the song that got this line: "Le Fou, I'm afraid I've been thinking...." Also, I want Cogsworth's line from the animated: "If it's not Baroque, don't fix it."
Ret Casala One of my favorite lines was actually improvised, in the original. "There's the usual things: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." I laughed so hard when Cogsworth said it.
I loved how evil Gaston was and also that they gave the Beast a back story so that we could understand his character, it made it easier for me to accept and sympathize with his redemption.
I actually like the scene where Belle slams Lumiere and he responds with "You are very strong." It kind of shows that Belle is able to fend for herself.
I absolutely loved this movie. I was close to crying when Belle found out what happened to her mother and the ballroom scene, but I seriously cried during Evermore, while he was watching her leave. Gaston and Lefou were awesome, Lefou saving Mrs. Potts and helping them, and earlier when he realized Gaston was evil, the transformation, the opening scene, and do not even get me started on the songs. Emma was awesome, Be Our Guest took my breath away, and Beauty and the Beast was so nostalgic. I sang along to every single one.
I agree,everything about this movie was great IMO!I don't care what anybody says!What I loved most about it is that they fixed all the plot holes from the animated version!
Just watched it last week and then again two days ago. It was amazing and I love how they changed a few things (to explain things better, of course), but I still agree with this on some points that some of those changes weren't so good, but hey, at least it was still great, and in my opinion it always will be.
I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal about Le Fou being gay. Some parents are not allowing their kids to go see the movie because he dances with a guy for like a split second at the end.
Jamie Schreindl well, some parents are sadly super homophobic. I actually like that details tho. it explains why he's so devoted to Gaston - I think its implied that he has a crush on him? And I like how his development when he realized that Gaston is insanely evil after he left Maurice in the woods tied up like that
Peacelover1212 I totally agree. I loved his plot development and the fact that they added that scene sort of to confirm that he is gay. I just think it really sucks that some kids aren't able to see such an amazing movie because of something that I didn't think was personally an enormous detail. I'm sure most young kids wouldn't be able to tell that he was dancing with a man.
I don't think it's homophobic to resist having issues of sexuality portrayed in children's movies. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate. I do think the whole moment was overblown by the media, but the moviemakers made it a big deal by talking about how excited they were about an "exclusively gay moment." I do not feel children's movies are the right platform for that kind of thing.
NEW Beauty And The Beast video just uploaded! Deleted Scenes & Rejected Concepts from Beauty And The Beast (2017) ► ruclips.net/video/bDvdjPElqvE/видео.html
In this video you said about Mrs pot spout/nose was not her nose. When I was watching a behind the scenes video it said that it was impossible to make her spout her nose. They did try tho.
I hated Beast singing after he let Belle go to her father. It was totally out of place, in animated version here is where Beast is melancholic and entropic, without any will or energy to live, let alone sing. I really liked the small bits, the original humor, and the new characters. :)
I have to say I really like how they added to Gaston's character. Instead of just making him be like "belle is the prettiest and thats the only reason for us to marry" they made it so that was one reason but he liked her for also not making a fool of herself to win his affection. Something I didnt like about the movie was the stuff about her mother. It was nice that they added the story because im sure a lot of people wanted to know from the animated version what happened to her, but to me it felt really disjointed and like it was an add on rather than a part of the plot. especially the part when they go to her home in paris, it seemed very rushed and out of place.
I miss the part when the Beast decided to show Belle the library in the first place; particularly Cogsworth's line, "well, there's the usual... flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep..."
My favorite new addition had to be the fact that the Beast got his own song! And what a song it is! Evermore is definitely one of the most beautiful Disney songs I've ever heard and a perfect addition to this movie!
@smol bean I love "If I Can't Love Her"! I'm so glad Beast got a new song in this movie though ;) honestly I think I like it better than "If I Can't Love Her"!
Also, in the original movie, while Belle is walking around the village and singing "Little Town," she's the only person in the village wearing blue. It makes her stand out and shows that she's different from everyone else. But in the 2017 version, there are a lot of other people in the town who are also wearing blue during this scene.
Well, I can't argue with this video. I mean, as much as I enjoyed watching the 2017 remake, unlike some people. I still have to give mad love for the original 1991 version. Not just for nostalgia. But, because it actually had moments that you can get away with in animation that you can't do in live-action.
Absolutely love the addition of the song Evermore! Really thought it added emotion to the Beast, and I could feel how strong his love for Belle is! And loved Josh Gad's performance as well! Really love both versions of Beauty and the Beast! And can't choose a favorite because they are both amazing movies! Thanks for sharing!
YES!!! my thoughts exactly! if you go in comparing this film with the original of course this one is more likely to lose! the first has your childs innocence attached to it. ie you might not know the plot, whats going to happen next, the magic and fun you can convey so well with animation. in short the old film has the nostalgia factor to it! but i think this one is just as good if not better in some areas (just as its weaker in others) ^.^
They did manage to get a Frozen reference in this movie. In response to a question Gaston asks about his lack of female companions, La Fou says "I've been told I can be a bit clingy." There is your missing Olaf reference. Enjoy!
I like how Stanley Tuchi (idk how to spell his last name) carried over his energy from his hunger games character (if you know go on you) he gives you that same vibe and same sense of energy and love, he really gives you a sense of warmth and makes you seem like he cares about everyone watching and I can't say enough praise for him
I think my favourite change was showing everyone in the castle slowly turning into objects. Great addition into brining more of the emotion in! That had me in tears!
LeFou in the live action was the best part of the whole movie for me, and the part where one of the three guys gets dressed in dresses and the one guy smiles and walks away was really funny. And I totally ship the end when Lafou and the guy are shown for 1 second dancing.
Well, for the French accent, as a French person who went to see it with French friends, we liked it just fine. Because the problem with non French actors doing a Fench accents, is that 99% of the time, we French don't understand a thing of what they're saying and have to read subtitles. So I personally think that it was a good Hollywood French accent
You failed to mention the fact that Belle asked for a rose on her fathers travels, like in the original tale from yeeeeaaaaaarrrss ago. No one seems to understand this, but then again not many people know the eerie original fairy tales, most from The Brothers Grimm. I was so glad to see them add a little piece of history, in a sense.
I adored the servants. I liked Lumiere and Cogsworth more in this version, perhaps because I never connected with them as a kid, and now they felt more mature and charming. I felt Belle and Beast's relationship wasn't built up enough to ring true for me, and the Beast's transformation along with Belle's reaction, perhaps my favorite scene in Disney animation, wasn't that strong (though it was wise to keep the original, breathtaking music.) I did love the separate transformation of the servants. Kevin Kline was lovable and adorable, loved Lefou and Gaston, and the way the castle reacted was perhaps my favorite change in the film. It made the curse and its dangers more real, and brought the fairy tale to life. Though Belle and the Beast, though very good, weren't as strong as I would have liked, I will definitely see this again.
I was disappointed that they never gave the beast/the prince's real name in the new film - Prince Adam I believe it is! There couldn't been a scene where he finally reveals his name to Belle at the end.
Yes! This and "Me" from the Broadway production were the two things I was looking forward to seeing. Human Again would've been fun to see them mesh their CGI selves and their human selves in a giant dance scene. Days in the Sun was fine, but felt like too much of an attempt to get an Oscar grab.
I know im kind of dissapointed that they replaced it with the "days in the sun" song, both songs are great but I would have liked "human again" more since it was later added into the animated version
"Human again" was actually deleted from the original film, only to be restored in the special edition dvd. It was never part of the actual movie. Also, in my opinion, the song made the enchanted objects sound selfish
You forgot to mention one of the most important differences. Belle actually knew about the curse in the live action version. She still didn't know how the servants and Beast were supposed to break it, but she knew that they were put under the spell by the Enchantress and that they were all actually human beings.
I loved all the little details, such as Lefou paying the townsfolk to sing along in "Gaston", the ballroom carvings playing along with "Beauty and the Beast", and the ex-Objects retaining a few characteristics of their transfigured state (Mrs. Potts' cracked gold makeup on her temples and lips comes to mind alongside Plumette's feathers, Cogsworth's mustache, and Lumiere's smoking wig).
To me, the live version didn't offer the same feeling as the original. Something was missing about the live version. I was very dissapointed with the final results.
definitely agree with oc fan i think story wise it was significantly stronger than the original but where as live action has to feel real animation can have bright unrealistic colors and tends to lean on heavy movements like belle jumping and clapping since you can't do much with animated facial expressions especially considering 1991 level animation technology. the backgrounds in the animated version are breathtaking but getting the same level of color and extravagance in the live action version would've looked so fake for example the ballroom doesn't seem as nice in the live action version but I can't imagine it would've been much better if they had used gold like i think the animated version does for the walls. It would've washed out Emma Watson and they'd need a bit of shine which would be extremely distracting. Expecting live action to be like animation is like going to see a live action superhero movie and being disappointed there's no well defined lineart or panels. They by necessity have different vibes I like the new one a lot but I felt like all the plot holes in the original made it clearly for kids even when I was one. Also it was a lot harder to sympathize with the beast in the original
Additional comments: CONs: 1. Beast's Transformation scene - I found it hilarious how he turned around like the animated movie, the light shining a bit at his face; looked a tad comical. 2. Madame Gaston scene - The shaky camera angles and sweeps turned me off a bit. They were tracking Belle and Gaston at the door and it should've looked smoother. I am guessing they shot village scenes last since it didn't require much CGI editing. 3. Transitions - The transitions are sometimes a bit abrupt. 4. Opening Sequence - It was a bit underwhelming but I liked the concept and how the Beast was concealed by 17th-18th century garb and make-up PROs 5. Beast's "Letting Go" song - I also loved that song, the only part that brought me to (almost) tears. 6. Gaston and Lefou - Absolutely a delight throughout the movie 7. Belle - Although the headlines were mostly about Emma Watson, her performance was not that bad. I hated the way her eyes were in a perpetual state of surprise in the trailers (must've been the editing tho). The additional backstory was also a great touch. 8. Belle's Father - Glad to have watched him be more than the animated movie had him. It was an enjoyable movie.
Why didnt she mention the beast? He was so different in the new movie. I actually like his new character much more, he seemed very human underneath the beast attire
My only nitpick, is that they didn't make belle the only one wearing blue like in the original, it made her special, and showed "I'm different" very clearly. But I can get passed that, and love the movie for what it is!
Martin Alcoser Same, it was so good. I've seen it like five times and it gets better every time. The casting, effects, songs, and acting was all amazing.
The dress. They made no efforts for Belle Yellow dress when you compare to some non-or-low budget cosplay that exist around. And the beast. He's not beastie enough, he looks too humans compared to the animated version
I pretty much agree with almost everything you've mentioned. My favourite change/character development, was when Gaston leaves Maurice to be eaten by wolves. This changes him from arrogant and misguided buffoon to truly evil bad-guy, deserving of his ultimate fate. I thought it was a really nice touch.
I believe the new film beautifully captured the essence of the animated film. Really brought the magic to life. At first when they announced the film i was expecting another Maleficent take on it, but this stayed true to the original, while also fixing/adding in a way that works.
Emma Louise I noticed that during the "Be Our Guest" song, she just kinda felt motionless and without emotion. .... because in the animated movie, she was more cheery and clapped and kinda jumped with the song, but this one, she just smiled, or just really didn't care
Yeah, Emma didn't really do a whole lot of emoting in this movie. Which is odd, because she seems to do fine in interviews and as Hermione. I can't figure out for the life of me why she didn't transfer that here. Unless this was a poor call on the Director's part.
Emma Louise I agree, but if we think about it, it's supposed to be a lot more exaggerated and emotional as animated, I just think this version was a lot more mature, it still thought it was fantastic though. I mean if Emma would've shown the same excitement as the animated belle it would've looked a bit exaggerated and Silly. They still show more bonding scenes and the same love at the ending of the movie though
Saw it on March 17, and I'm going to see it again today. Only because I'm getting braces wensday, and I wanna go to the movies to eat popcorn one last time.
I really liked how the village women were more active in the fight scene at the end (and not in a they are there, but they are not actually fighting or being attacked back sort of way). They are threats and are treated as such in the battle.
one thing I like about the new Beauty and the beast is that it added a more serious tone, while also staying very true to the feel good spirit of the 1991 film.
i think if they made an "exact" remake of the 1991 movie, the live action probably wouldn't have worked the way it did. For eg. Lefou and Gaston are more cartoonish in the animated film, but if the same had been put in the live action-it would have looked weird, over the top and out of place. So i think some of the changes like in Characterization, setting or character design made sense since it was a live action film. the new songs were good and went with the comparatively Darker theme of the film. and i am glad they didnt include Human Again-its a good song, but its too long, doesnt fit in without causing a break in the narrative.(it wasnt part of the original 1991 either).Days in the sun is a lovely song, you actually feel for those inanimate objects. Emma's Belle isn't like Paige O'Hara's Belle(to be very frank), which works for this story. Its unfair to pitch them against each other because both characters are potrayed diffrently in each version. The 1991 version is still very "Disney Princess", the 2017 version is kind of "Anti-Princess",a little sadder more grounded to reality.I actually like that she is a bit more "out of place" like she doesn't fit in becomes far more obvious in this version. It enforces the fact that she and Beast both are outcasts in thier own world. I liked Evermore because i feel it brings the story of the Beast to a full circle.He starts of as a cruel selfish prince and when he sings evermore you actually realize how much he has changed!He has learnt to love, and holds Belles Happiness over his own and will love her even if she never returns. Its a redeeming beautiful song, and i feel brings the story together. The things i didnt like. Was the song Belle-its shot very diffrently from the animated version, and is more crowded and chaotic, it suits the needs of the live action film, but comes across as a little strange on the first viewing. probably because we are so used to the animated film. Same with Be our Guest felt a bit weird on the first time, i appreciated it more on the second veiwing(mostly because of the gorgeous easter eggs in it). As someone who loves the original, i quite liked the live action too. I still think its a vey good and faithful remake of the original.
The remake is by no means bad but I still prefer the animated classic. With that said a lot of my gripes are ones I don't think many other people have? One of them being how the Beast tells Belle "then go ahead and starve!" in the animated version he puffs up and roars this phrase with his hackles raised and I found his much calmer anger in the live action version jarring.
theBeastcub Well, there is an explanation for this. In the 91 version, the prince is turned into a beast as a child. He isn't a someone in full control of their emotions and yes, most children are petty and selfish and throw fits. In this version, he is turned into a beast as a young man in his late teens or early 20's. So yes, he isn't going to be as out of control emotionally. Yes, the temper still comes through and the unkind attitude is there, but it isn't like a child's. The Beast is a different sort of Beast in the live action. The 91 version portrays him with the mannerisms like a child who needs his hand held in order to read, use utensils to eat properly, and to be scolded when need be. He needed someone to help him grow. The live action version portrays him as a young man who lost his mother at an early age, had a father who wasn't very kind, and then used his power and influence to tax the villagers in order to fill the emptiness in his heart with material things. Therefore, when he is turned into a Beast, he is thrown into a situation where power and influence cannot "save" him. Here, he didn't need someone to help him grow up, he needed someone to see past the hurt and the wall he built up to keep himself "safe". He needed someone to see past his faults and love him. Both are good, but I like the live action one a bit better because it isn't done out of pity. The Beast isn't a child who needs his hand held, he is an adult who needs someone on his level. Belle gives him love in both versions and it's wonderful. I just like how it's more on equal grounds in the live action one.
There are so many things I love about the new film but to give an idea: Belle's backstory and her having a more proactive demeanour, the new songs 'Evermore', 'How Does A moment last forever' (both movie and Celine Dion) and 'Days in the Sun', the effects of the curse from the rose petals, Lefou's character development, the darker edgy feel of the story...I could go on but you get the idea :)
They explained the mrs. Pots snout nose. They wanted to do it like in the animation, but it made her looks ugly and pig-like in 3D. So they had to put it on the side
The biggest change for me in the 2017 film was Lumiere was the one who offered a better room for Belle, while in the 1991 animation, it was the beast who offered it. And in the animation, Belle cried that the beast didn't even let her say goodbye to her father. In the animation, Belle also almost touched the rose, that got the beast very angry, while in the 2017 film, she didn't uncover the rose, but the beast got so angry. The animation seems more natural.
and the concept of the inhabitants of the castle becoming less and less human with each petal falling isn't new either, sur eit wasn't shown in the 1991 film but in the official Disney stage adaption done ever since, the characters slowly turn more and more into the objects (the most notable moment being when cogsworth grows a key in his back and the other characetrs don't know how to point it out to him).
Loved the primeval line, also missed out on "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep" and "If it's not baroque don't fix it." Also missed the part where beast feeds the birds!
Best Changes: - Maestro Cadenza - The New Design Of The Enchanted Objects, Especially Chip - Fru Fru Becomes Maestro Cadenza And Madame De Garderobe's Pet - Days In The Sun - Evermore Worst Change: - Removed Mr's Potts' Dialogue After Singing Beauty And The Beast: "Off To The Cupboard With You Now Chip, It's Past Your Bedtime. Good Night. - Didn't Include Chapeau's Hat That He Wears In The 1991 Version - Removed Human Again ( Oh Wait, Days In The Sun Is Basically The Sad Version Of Human Again )
I missed the Gaston reprise that goes like G: Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking L: A dangerous pastime G: I know. But that whacky old coot is Belle's father And his sanity's only "so-so" Now the wheels in my head have been turning Since I looked at that loony, old man See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle And right now I'm evolving a plan I can't believe I can still remember the lyrics after 25 years.
For me the Transformation scene of the beast was somehow less emotional than in the animated version. The servants turning into object got me more (even made me cry a bit) than beast dying.
The live action version missed what make the animated so great and magical, belle are not supposed to be smug and rude! And the relationship between the beast and belle seemed forced and was lacking chemistry.
I was excited at first when Emma was cast as Belle. After seeing the movie I'm extremely disappointed. Her acting was wooden at times and flat the rest of the time. She also looked so uptight that she can't seem to give off a genuinely amused or happy expression. What I hated the most was how she just looked like "Meh" in the Be Our Guest scene.
I personally disagree. She wasn't flat, I felt she was great at the role, and it's not supposed to be as extremely perfect as the original character, cause let's face it, Belle was like a Mary Sue. Plus, I'd like to see you take a swing at it, would it be easy, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It's funny you say that - when I watched that scene I had the biggest, stupidest grin on my face by the end and I kind of wondered why Belle didn't? Then I realized, "Oh, well, I'm seeing the special effects and she isn't! Duh." So that pulled me out of the movie a little bit -- and made me annoyed for Emma Watson's sake - she really missed out! LOL
+Collen Jagger Right? XD People tend to forget that she was just reacting to the music and a green table haha Of course, she more or less knew what was going on but even so, making a wrong expression could let the editors to their insanity. Just smiling was the safest choice, I guess
I don't know if anyone else was sad about the library scene. But I remember I was always exited, and got the chills in the animation film when Beast surprised belle with the gift of the library. I was sad that they didn't put that into the live action film.
I totally agree with the look of the enchanted objects! I think Mrs Potts lost too much expression with the new look however the movie was amazing as a whole!
The change that I did not like, personally, was the missing "dialogue" in the transformation scene. In the original film, after the beast transforms to human, you can see a "confused" Belle... to reassure Belle, Beast responds, "Belle, it's me." Then Belle looks into his eyes and says, "It is you!" In the remake, only Belle speaks saying "It is you!". I don't know, I really like the original dialogue during this scene.
I agree with everything you said here except about Chip. I personally enjoyed him far more in this film than the original. I thought he was more of a real boy and not just overly excited about everything. Like when he says to his Mom Mrs Potts "okay I'm older" that made me laugh out loud and it just felt like something that would be such a little boy thing to do when his mother tells him something. Another fantastic video! The level of detail that you put into your work definitely inspires me as a fellow film RUclipsr! I just watched your interviews with the cast as well and I love them and I'm very very jealous! I hope someday that my videos are deemed a good enough by a studio to get a wonderful opportunity also! All the best Jan, have a wonderful day or night whenever it is that you see this! 😀
All the characters were more realistic personality wise in the new 1, expect The Beast I thought he was the exact same in both versions. one of the reasons why I like the new 1 far better.
I love Evermore also, it breaks my heart every time I hear it. When I first heard that the dorky Matthew Crowley (Downton Abbey) was going to be the beast I scoffed at the thought but at 23 in 1991 I also scoffed at the apparently quiet and shy Robbie Benson; I was wrong both times. I think the only quote I missed was David Ogden-Steir's line, "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." I loved the recovering scenes in the bedroom, especially the care that Belle takes to check Beast's temperature. The extended use of the Enchantress was clever. I figured she was Agatha when she helped out Maurice at the tree. I also think the entire Maurice taking the wrong path was instigated by the Enchantress, she created the curse and if she didn't do something to create a chance at hope well....no story.
oh my goodness!!! i loved evermore so much!! so well done and emotional! the dan stevens version specifically, but the josh groban one is good too. and my best friend and i realized that we are basically gaston and lefou (when gaston isn't being vain)
I have WAY too many problems with this film, so much more than what I like about this film, it was a poor remake for what could of been an amazing film.
There were some theme changes. There was almost no slapstick with LeFou and he wasn't much of "the fool" anymore. The animated version showed both Gaston and the Beast threatening Belle by using her father, but in the live action, it was almost a story of "What happens when your mom dies and you have a good dad or a bad dad?"
I loved the extra songs Evermore and Days in the sun. There's a wonderful scene that they add as well which gave me goose bumps, where (spoilers) they go to Paris, and Belle remembers her mom, she & beast find common ground. I just think it's a lovely scene. And I also loved the extra characters. Hehe.
I'm not a fan of the new look for the enchanted objects. They didn't have to look like the cartoon, but they shouldn't have really looked like creepy antiques, either, honestly. As for LeFou being gay, some people need to get a grip. And if all you see is him dancing at the end with a guy for a split second... wow, big deal. What overreactions. I look forward to seeing this movie!!!
I haven't seen the original version yet, but in French at some point (when he's fighting Gaston), we got a beautiful "I am not a beast" from the Prince. I thought it was a very clever addition, showing that even if everybody calls him Beast, he still feels human inside. One of the things I didn't like is actually something they left the same way : he still doesn't say his name! Like, come on, all the fans know your real name is Adam, so just say it and make it completely canon at last! They had many shots at that, when they're talking alone in the library or the garden, and yet she still doesn't ask his name. Curious as Belle is, it's a big plothole for her not to search at least who he is or for him not to want to tell her his real name ToT
These were my best and worst changes for Beauty And The Beast 2017 vs 1991!
What did you most enjoy and least like about the new live-action version?! 😉

worst was the singing of Belle
Best change was how the castle was attached to the curse. I was definitely not as high on most of these changes as you
I enjoyed how Kevin Kline was singing "How Does A Moment Last Forever", when he's thinking back on the day when he lost Belle's Mother
Flicks And The City there was not one thing I didn't like in the live action beauty and the beast movie 😍
Peppermint Queen - Hehe. I didn't exactly feel that way, but I thought that the actor is not big or handsome enough (although he looked more handsome in the film than in his interviews). Stevens is rather thin whereas the prince in the animated version was tall and more muscular-looking, so the stature of the beast was not lost. Hence, the transformation wasn't awkward.
I really liked that when Belle asks why the servants were punished too because they did nothing, Mrs. Potts says that she's right they did nothing when his father turned him into a cad. In the animated version you never hear that. I always assumed that the servants were punished because they raised him in the animated version. It was nice to hear them take some responsibility.
Yes, I do really like that too. :D
It gave a reason, not only for the servants being changed, but why Beast is the way he is.
Serevants can't tell the King how to rise his son. It isn't their responsobility in my opinion.
train a child when they are young,and when they are old they shall not depart from it. That Prince might have been a beast to people who were beneath him, but his servants had seen this happening and did not punish him. This is what happens when you don't discipline your children, let them get away with everything. they grow up spoiled, Selfish, and unkind.
It is the job of the king to rule, yes -- but it is the job of the people to stop him when he goes wrong. To quote the webcomic _Freefall_, "One of the surest ways to help someone fail is to obey their every order without question."
When I was a kid I thought Belle said "prime evil" instead of "primeval."
wimpykidfan37 I didn't learn that it wasn't that until like 2016
Well, I'll tell you what I DIDN'T do when I was a kid: I didn't eat four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. Nor do I eat five dozen eggs today, nor am I roughly the size of a barge.
wimpykidfan37
Nor are you especially good at expectorating (I hope).
Josh Gad and Luke Evans!
Oh my God, they were absolutely brilliant!
And they had more chemistry than Belle and Beast.
FUN FACT! josh gad is olaf's voice character
I actually enjoyed their scenes more than anything going on at the castle. And the bromance in their interview are fun to watch. xD
IKR THEY WERE GREAT :D
They were the best 💖
my favorite change was having them be forgotten by the towns people because of the spell, it was something that always bothered me about the original as to why no one knew of this castle
Fatima Rebello ikr? like, it's a huge castle and if people traded and crossed the paths near it, how come they never noticed it? haha
that could be assumed already in the original... Like, I don't need explanation for everything
Evermore and Days in the Sun were wonderful additions to Beauty and the Beast ^_^
yes!! both are my fav songs
but I missed the song from the extended version of the cartoon called "Human Again"
I didn't like that they removed the dialogue when he turns back human:
Him: Belle, it's me
(she looks into his eyes while moving a piece of hair out of his face)
her: It Is You!
tvloover80 Hahaha. I love how some of you doesn't even think how odd would sound that. Of course it is him. He just transformed before her eyes.
pbriian Ikr? Everyone's complaining about that and they don't seem to realize it's one of the few mistakes fixed from the old movie. Though I would have liked them to have scripted something like the original lines instead of them just slowly getting closer to each other before kissing, it's not as romantic as the original without them saying anything.
When I saw it the first time and I saw there was no dialogue at all after the transformation, I was a little disappointed. However, I saw it a second time and instead of focusing on that I tried to focus more on the emotion of the scene, and I think that even without dialogue, the actions of both Belle and the Prince (especially when Belle looks into his eyes and reacts) is just right for the scene!
when you love someone no words are needed
I hate her emotions. She was like... Bahhh. So boring
Evermore was an excellent addition. It had me crying
masteroftheassassins me to I cried at the end
masteroftheassassins same
My best friend and I fell in absolute love with that song. The moment we were out of the theater?
"Target's next door. We're getting the soundtrack."
We saw it again with another friend three days later. I had it memorized.
It has to win an award!!
I cried there too!! I also cried during the song where the cursed servants sang about their pasts....and also the ballroom scene....and when the servants turned into inanimate objects...yeah okay maybe I'm just a wuss! Hehehehe
I would love if they included the song that got this line:
"Le Fou, I'm afraid I've been thinking...."
Also, I want Cogsworth's line from the animated:
"If it's not Baroque, don't fix it."
Ret Casala I missed the Baroque line as well! I was looking forward to hearing Gandalf say it 😂
Ret Casala One of my favorite lines was actually improvised, in the original. "There's the usual things: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." I laughed so hard when Cogsworth said it.
I loved how evil Gaston was and also that they gave the Beast a back story so that we could understand his character, it made it easier for me to accept and sympathize with his redemption.
I actually like the scene where Belle slams Lumiere and he responds with "You are very strong." It kind of shows that Belle is able to fend for herself.
Linxi I like when Belle says "you can talk"
and cogsworth says "of course he can talk that's all he ever does!"
No, it's nodding to Belle to be strong and indepedent women. Of course she is stronger being 10 time bigger than candlejack.
Linxi i love how she says you can talk like " you can tolk " her accent is the best
I like the scene where the Beast brains Emma with the snowball right in the face!
@Maker Did you just say CandleJack? She said CandleJack.....I can't believe she said CandleJack! What is.......
I absolutely loved this movie. I was close to crying when Belle found out what happened to her mother and the ballroom scene, but I seriously cried during Evermore, while he was watching her leave. Gaston and Lefou were awesome, Lefou saving Mrs. Potts and helping them, and earlier when he realized Gaston was evil, the transformation, the opening scene, and do not even get me started on the songs. Emma was awesome, Be Our Guest took my breath away, and Beauty and the Beast was so nostalgic. I sang along to every single one.
Keep your rude comments to yourself, all right? I liked the movie, and if you didn't, fine. Don't be rude about it.
I agree,everything about this movie was great IMO!I don't care what anybody says!What I loved most about it is that they fixed all the plot holes from the animated version!
I like it too. Hate me if you want actually liked Emma Watson's singing voice.
Just watched it last week and then again two days ago. It was amazing and I love how they changed a few things (to explain things better, of course), but I still agree with this on some points that some of those changes weren't so good, but hey, at least it was still great, and in my opinion it always will be.
I super do agree!!! It was still great and will forever be great. ♥
I agree that it was still great too!
I agree and Aladdin is great too!
I love how they had Lefou change. He had a lot of development from Gaston's little follower to his own person.
I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal about Le Fou being gay. Some parents are not allowing their kids to go see the movie because he dances with a guy for like a split second at the end.
Jamie Schreindl well, some parents are sadly super homophobic. I actually like that details tho. it explains why he's so devoted to Gaston - I think its implied that he has a crush on him? And I like how his development when he realized that Gaston is insanely evil after he left Maurice in the woods tied up like that
Peacelover1212 I totally agree. I loved his plot development and the fact that they added that scene sort of to confirm that he is gay. I just think it really sucks that some kids aren't able to see such an amazing movie because of something that I didn't think was personally an enormous detail. I'm sure most young kids wouldn't be able to tell that he was dancing with a man.
le fou is french for "The Fool" That says it all and is a hilarious stab at the gays by disney that Everyone is over looking. So funny
I don't think it's homophobic to resist having issues of sexuality portrayed in children's movies. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate. I do think the whole moment was overblown by the media, but the moviemakers made it a big deal by talking about how excited they were about an "exclusively gay moment." I do not feel children's movies are the right platform for that kind of thing.
Lori Larson if it was a girl in Lefou's place would you feel the same?
i enjoyed be our guest in the new version as i thought it was beautiful
NEW Beauty And The Beast video just uploaded!
Deleted Scenes & Rejected Concepts from Beauty And The Beast (2017) ► ruclips.net/video/bDvdjPElqvE/видео.html
Flicks And The City If they kept Ms Potts nose in this 3D!!! version she would look silly. it's not like an animated movie where it would work out
In this video you said about Mrs pot spout/nose was not her nose. When I was watching a behind the scenes video it said that it was impossible to make her spout her nose. They did try tho.
I don't think it was really impossible to make Mrs. Potts' spout her nose. They actually didn't want to do it.
Diana Raisa No they wanted to but it wouldn't look good on her face and they didn't want a circular pug looking Ms.Potts
I hated Beast singing after he let Belle go to her father. It was totally out of place, in animated version here is where Beast is melancholic and entropic, without any will or energy to live, let alone sing. I really liked the small bits, the original humor, and the new characters. :)
I have to say I really like how they added to Gaston's character. Instead of just making him be like "belle is the prettiest and thats the only reason for us to marry" they made it so that was one reason but he liked her for also not making a fool of herself to win his affection. Something I didnt like about the movie was the stuff about her mother. It was nice that they added the story because im sure a lot of people wanted to know from the animated version what happened to her, but to me it felt really disjointed and like it was an add on rather than a part of the plot. especially the part when they go to her home in paris, it seemed very rushed and out of place.
For miss Potts they did try to do the spouts nose but notated what they did it wouldn't work out
+Elizabeth M IKR? I wouldn't agree with that design as she would look a bit out of place. The side facial features were great!
I miss the part when the Beast decided to show Belle the library in the first place; particularly Cogsworth's line, "well, there's the usual... flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep..."
My favorite new addition had to be the fact that the Beast got his own song! And what a song it is! Evermore is definitely one of the most beautiful Disney songs I've ever heard and a perfect addition to this movie!
The Beast has a song in the broadway version, it's called "If I Can't Love Her"
@smol bean I love "If I Can't Love Her"! I'm so glad Beast got a new song in this movie though ;) honestly I think I like it better than "If I Can't Love Her"!
Also, in the original movie, while Belle is walking around the village and singing "Little Town," she's the only person in the village wearing blue. It makes her stand out and shows that she's different from everyone else. But in the 2017 version, there are a lot of other people in the town who are also wearing blue during this scene.
Well, I can't argue with this video. I mean, as much as I enjoyed watching the 2017 remake, unlike some people. I still have to give mad love for the original 1991 version. Not just for nostalgia. But, because it actually had moments that you can get away with in animation that you can't do in live-action.
The Animated One Looks So Much More... Alive..
Maybe the Mob Song is quite different when Belle was Imprisoned.
1991: During the song
2017: Before the song.
Absolutely love the addition of the song Evermore! Really thought it added emotion to the Beast, and I could feel how strong his love for Belle is! And loved Josh Gad's performance as well! Really love both versions of Beauty and the Beast! And can't choose a favorite because they are both amazing movies! Thanks for sharing!
YES!!! my thoughts exactly! if you go in comparing this film with the original of course this one is more likely to lose! the first has your childs innocence attached to it. ie you might not know the plot, whats going to happen next, the magic and fun you can convey so well with animation. in short the old film has the nostalgia factor to it! but i think this one is just as good if not better in some areas (just as its weaker in others) ^.^
Yes! Agree completely!!!
They did manage to get a Frozen reference in this movie. In response to a question Gaston asks about his lack of female companions, La Fou says "I've been told I can be a bit clingy." There is your missing Olaf reference. Enjoy!
I like how Stanley Tuchi (idk how to spell his last name) carried over his energy from his hunger games character (if you know go on you) he gives you that same vibe and same sense of energy and love, he really gives you a sense of warmth and makes you seem like he cares about everyone watching and I can't say enough praise for him
I think my favourite change was showing everyone in the castle slowly turning into objects. Great addition into brining more of the emotion in! That had me in tears!
LeFou in the live action was the best part of the whole movie for me, and the part where one of the three guys gets dressed in dresses and the one guy smiles and walks away was really funny. And I totally ship the end when Lafou and the guy are shown for 1 second dancing.
Well, for the French accent, as a French person who went to see it with French friends, we liked it just fine. Because the problem with non French actors doing a Fench accents, is that 99% of the time, we French don't understand a thing of what they're saying and have to read subtitles. So I personally think that it was a good Hollywood French accent
Mina Lisly And there we have it! Spoken by a French speaker him/herself! I'm glad you enjoyed the performance.
You failed to mention the fact that Belle asked for a rose on her fathers travels, like in the original tale from yeeeeaaaaaarrrss ago. No one seems to understand this, but then again not many people know the eerie original fairy tales, most from The Brothers Grimm. I was so glad to see them add a little piece of history, in a sense.
Thank you! I'm not the only one who reads the Grimm Stories!
Beauty and The Beast isn't Brothers Grimm.
I adored the servants. I liked Lumiere and Cogsworth more in this version, perhaps because I never connected with them as a kid, and now they felt more mature and charming. I felt Belle and Beast's relationship wasn't built up enough to ring true for me, and the Beast's transformation along with Belle's reaction, perhaps my favorite scene in Disney animation, wasn't that strong (though it was wise to keep the original, breathtaking music.) I did love the separate transformation of the servants. Kevin Kline was lovable and adorable, loved Lefou and Gaston, and the way the castle reacted was perhaps my favorite change in the film. It made the curse and its dangers more real, and brought the fairy tale to life. Though Belle and the Beast, though very good, weren't as strong as I would have liked, I will definitely see this again.
I was disappointed that they never gave the beast/the prince's real name in the new film - Prince Adam I believe it is! There couldn't been a scene where he finally reveals his name to Belle at the end.
I miss "Human Again".
I was looking for this comment. I was dissapointed when it came to the part of the move where I realized they didnt include "Human Again"
Yes! This and "Me" from the Broadway production were the two things I was looking forward to seeing. Human Again would've been fun to see them mesh their CGI selves and their human selves in a giant dance scene. Days in the Sun was fine, but felt like too much of an attempt to get an Oscar grab.
I know im kind of dissapointed that they replaced it with the "days in the sun" song, both songs are great but I would have liked "human again" more since it was later added into the animated version
Human Again..... Someone knows human again........ #THEATRE
"Human again" was actually deleted from the original film, only to be restored in the special edition dvd. It was never part of the actual movie. Also, in my opinion, the song made the enchanted objects sound selfish
I like the part where they changed the book store in the 1991 movie with the church in the 2017 movie
I love that they added cadenza, it just adds something a bit Moore heart touching
Seems he was inspired by Forte, the antagonist from Enchanted Christmas.
You forgot to mention one of the most important differences. Belle actually knew about the curse in the live action version. She still didn't know how the servants and Beast were supposed to break it, but she knew that they were put under the spell by the Enchantress and that they were all actually human beings.
I loved all the little details, such as Lefou paying the townsfolk to sing along in "Gaston", the ballroom carvings playing along with "Beauty and the Beast", and the ex-Objects retaining a few characteristics of their transfigured state (Mrs. Potts' cracked gold makeup on her temples and lips comes to mind alongside Plumette's feathers, Cogsworth's mustache, and Lumiere's smoking wig).
Fun fact: THERE'S initials WD, In the middle of the ballroom floor representing Walt Disney!
To me, the live version didn't offer the same feeling as the original. Something was missing about the live version. I was very dissapointed with the final results.
I thought it added more to it that should have been in the original.
Maybe you miss the animation, Animation I think Always adds much beauty and fell good emotion to a film.
definitely agree with oc fan i think story wise it was significantly stronger than the original but where as live action has to feel real animation can have bright unrealistic colors and tends to lean on heavy movements like belle jumping and clapping since you can't do much with animated facial expressions especially considering 1991 level animation technology. the backgrounds in the animated version are breathtaking but getting the same level of color and extravagance in the live action version would've looked so fake for example the ballroom doesn't seem as nice in the live action version but I can't imagine it would've been much better if they had used gold like i think the animated version does for the walls. It would've washed out Emma Watson and they'd need a bit of shine which would be extremely distracting. Expecting live action to be like animation is like going to see a live action superhero movie and being disappointed there's no well defined lineart or panels. They by necessity have different vibes I like the new one a lot but I felt like all the plot holes in the original made it clearly for kids even when I was one. Also it was a lot harder to sympathize with the beast in the original
Additional comments:
CONs:
1. Beast's Transformation scene - I found it hilarious how he turned around like the animated movie, the light shining a bit at his face; looked a tad comical.
2. Madame Gaston scene - The shaky camera angles and sweeps turned me off a bit. They were tracking Belle and Gaston at the door and it should've looked smoother. I am guessing they shot village scenes last since it didn't require much CGI editing.
3. Transitions - The transitions are sometimes a bit abrupt.
4. Opening Sequence - It was a bit underwhelming but I liked the concept and how the Beast was concealed by 17th-18th century garb and make-up
PROs
5. Beast's "Letting Go" song - I also loved that song, the only part that brought me to (almost) tears.
6. Gaston and Lefou - Absolutely a delight throughout the movie
7. Belle - Although the headlines were mostly about Emma Watson, her performance was not that bad. I hated the way her eyes were in a perpetual state of surprise in the trailers (must've been the editing tho). The additional backstory was also a great touch.
8. Belle's Father - Glad to have watched him be more than the animated movie had him.
It was an enjoyable movie.
Why didnt she mention the beast? He was so different in the new movie. I actually like his new character much more, he seemed very human underneath the beast attire
My only nitpick, is that they didn't make belle the only one wearing blue like in the original, it made her special, and showed "I'm different" very clearly. But I can get passed that, and love the movie for what it is!
Thesoulsisters Thesoulsisters wow, I never was aware of that. Thank you, what a beautiful subtle detail.
it won me totally, no dislikes
Martin Alcoser Same, it was so good. I've seen it like five times and it gets better every time. The casting, effects, songs, and acting was all amazing.
The dress. They made no efforts for Belle Yellow dress when you compare to some non-or-low budget cosplay that exist around.
And the beast. He's not beastie enough, he looks too humans compared to the animated version
I pretty much agree with almost everything you've mentioned. My favourite change/character development, was when Gaston leaves Maurice to be eaten by wolves. This changes him from arrogant and misguided buffoon to truly evil bad-guy, deserving of his ultimate fate. I thought it was a really nice touch.
The new songs were fabulous! My favorite part ☺️
I loved everything in the movie except for how obvious it was that all of Belle's songs were auto tuned.
I believe the new film beautifully captured the essence of the animated film. Really brought the magic to life. At first when they announced the film i was expecting another Maleficent take on it, but this stayed true to the original, while also fixing/adding in a way that works.
Instead of "positively primeval" we got the line from LaFou about Gaston being more "athletically inclined."
I felt that the new belle isn't as loving to the beast as the old belle? Just me? Xx
I agree, she was too stoic all the time.
Emma Louise I noticed that during the "Be Our Guest" song, she just kinda felt motionless and without emotion. .... because in the animated movie, she was more cheery and clapped and kinda jumped with the song, but this one, she just smiled, or just really didn't care
Yeah, Emma didn't really do a whole lot of emoting in this movie. Which is odd, because she seems to do fine in interviews and as Hermione. I can't figure out for the life of me why she didn't transfer that here. Unless this was a poor call on the Director's part.
I have to agree, during the whole movie emma didnt shoe much emotion in certain scenes and just seemed annoyed or pissed off most of the time.
Emma Louise I agree, but if we think about it, it's supposed to be a lot more exaggerated and emotional as animated, I just think this version was a lot more mature, it still thought it was fantastic though. I mean if Emma would've shown the same excitement as the animated belle it would've looked a bit exaggerated and Silly. They still show more bonding scenes and the same love at the ending of the movie though
Saw it on March 17, and I'm going to see it again today. Only because I'm getting braces wensday, and I wanna go to the movies to eat popcorn one last time.
I really liked how the village women were more active in the fight scene at the end (and not in a they are there, but they are not actually fighting or being attacked back sort of way). They are threats and are treated as such in the battle.
one thing I like about the new Beauty and the beast is that it added a more serious tone, while also staying very true to the feel good spirit of the 1991 film.
i think if they made an "exact" remake of the 1991 movie, the live action probably wouldn't have worked the way it did.
For eg. Lefou and Gaston are more cartoonish in the animated film, but if the same had been put in the live action-it would have looked weird, over the top and out of place.
So i think some of the changes like in Characterization, setting or character design made sense since it was a live action film.
the new songs were good and went with the comparatively Darker theme of the film.
and i am glad they didnt include Human Again-its a good song, but its too long, doesnt fit in without causing a break in the narrative.(it wasnt part of the original 1991 either).Days in the sun is a lovely song, you actually feel for those inanimate objects.
Emma's Belle isn't like Paige O'Hara's Belle(to be very frank), which works for this story. Its unfair to pitch them against each other because both characters are potrayed diffrently in each version.
The 1991 version is still very "Disney Princess", the 2017 version is kind of "Anti-Princess",a little sadder more grounded to reality.I actually like that she is a bit more "out of place" like she doesn't fit in becomes far more obvious in this version. It enforces the fact that she and Beast both are outcasts in thier own world.
I liked Evermore because i feel it brings the story of the Beast to a full circle.He starts of as a cruel selfish prince and when he sings evermore you actually realize how much he has changed!He has learnt to love, and holds Belles Happiness over his own and will love her even if she never returns. Its a redeeming beautiful song, and i feel brings the story together.
The things i didnt like. Was the song Belle-its shot very diffrently from the animated version, and is more crowded and chaotic, it suits the needs of the live action film, but comes across as a little strange on the first viewing. probably because we are so used to the animated film.
Same with Be our Guest felt a bit weird on the first time, i appreciated it more on the second veiwing(mostly because of the gorgeous easter eggs in it).
As someone who loves the original, i quite liked the live action too. I still think its a vey good and faithful remake of the original.
Tbh I wasn't very keen on a lot of aspects of this film, but all in all it was really good
I really liked LeFou's new line in Kill the Beast about "I fear a greater monster's been unleashed" in reference to Gaston.
I really liked how there was snow and cold, dark weather near the castle. And then it was sunny and bright in the town.
I WISH Angela Lansbury was in this movie.
The remake is by no means bad but I still prefer the animated classic. With that said a lot of my gripes are ones I don't think many other people have? One of them being how the Beast tells Belle "then go ahead and starve!" in the animated version he puffs up and roars this phrase with his hackles raised and I found his much calmer anger in the live action version jarring.
theBeastcub Well, there is an explanation for this. In the 91 version, the prince is turned into a beast as a child. He isn't a someone in full control of their emotions and yes, most children are petty and selfish and throw fits.
In this version, he is turned into a beast as a young man in his late teens or early 20's. So yes, he isn't going to be as out of control emotionally. Yes, the temper still comes through and the unkind attitude is there, but it isn't like a child's.
The Beast is a different sort of Beast in the live action.
The 91 version portrays him with the mannerisms like a child who needs his hand held in order to read, use utensils to eat properly, and to be scolded when need be. He needed someone to help him grow.
The live action version portrays him as a young man who lost his mother at an early age, had a father who wasn't very kind, and then used his power and influence to tax the villagers in order to fill the emptiness in his heart with material things. Therefore, when he is turned into a Beast, he is thrown into a situation where power and influence cannot "save" him. Here, he didn't need someone to help him grow up, he needed someone to see past the hurt and the wall he built up to keep himself "safe". He needed someone to see past his faults and love him.
Both are good, but I like the live action one a bit better because it isn't done out of pity. The Beast isn't a child who needs his hand held, he is an adult who needs someone on his level. Belle gives him love in both versions and it's wonderful. I just like how it's more on equal grounds in the live action one.
There are so many things I love about the new film but to give an idea:
Belle's backstory and her having a more proactive demeanour, the new songs 'Evermore', 'How Does A moment last forever' (both movie and Celine Dion) and 'Days in the Sun', the effects of the curse from the rose petals, Lefou's character development, the darker edgy feel of the story...I could go on but you get the idea :)
wow you didn't bring up the point that the librarian didn't give belle the book in the beginning or how Gaston's death was horribly done
They explained the mrs. Pots snout nose. They wanted to do it like in the animation, but it made her looks ugly and pig-like in 3D. So they had to put it on the side
I really loved how the new movie had the enchanted objects had a huge role to play in bringing belle and beast together
The biggest change for me in the 2017 film was Lumiere was the one who offered a better room for Belle, while in the 1991 animation, it was the beast who offered it. And in the animation, Belle cried that the beast didn't even let her say goodbye to her father. In the animation, Belle also almost touched the rose, that got the beast very angry, while in the 2017 film, she didn't uncover the rose, but the beast got so angry. The animation seems more natural.
and the concept of the inhabitants of the castle becoming less and less human with each petal falling isn't new either, sur eit wasn't shown in the 1991 film but in the official Disney stage adaption done ever since, the characters slowly turn more and more into the objects (the most notable moment being when cogsworth grows a key in his back and the other characetrs don't know how to point it out to him).
Emma was a piece of wood. She was less human than the furniture.
Thank you, why couldn't they cast a broadway singer as Belle ?
i loved the new songs! but I was surprised Emma Watson kept her English accent throughout the movie...
Loved the primeval line, also missed out on "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep" and "If it's not baroque don't fix it." Also missed the part where beast feeds the birds!
Best Changes:
- Maestro Cadenza
- The New Design Of The Enchanted Objects, Especially Chip
- Fru Fru Becomes Maestro Cadenza And Madame De Garderobe's Pet
- Days In The Sun
- Evermore
Worst Change:
- Removed Mr's Potts' Dialogue After Singing Beauty And The Beast:
"Off To The Cupboard With You Now Chip, It's Past Your Bedtime. Good Night.
- Didn't Include Chapeau's Hat That He Wears In The 1991 Version
- Removed Human Again ( Oh Wait, Days In The Sun Is Basically The Sad Version Of Human Again )
I feel like belles ballgown in the newer film isn't nearly as enchanting as the original.
The things that weren't so good with the film pale in comparison to everything that was great about it!
I missed the Gaston reprise that goes like
G: Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
L: A dangerous pastime
G: I know.
But that whacky old coot is Belle's father
And his sanity's only "so-so"
Now the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that loony, old man
See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle
And right now I'm evolving a plan
I can't believe I can still remember the lyrics after 25 years.
For me the Transformation scene of the beast was somehow less emotional than in the animated version. The servants turning into object got me more (even made me cry a bit) than beast dying.
The live action version missed what make the animated so great and magical, belle are not supposed to be smug and rude! And the relationship between the beast and belle seemed forced and was lacking chemistry.
I was excited at first when Emma was cast as Belle. After seeing the movie I'm extremely disappointed. Her acting was wooden at times and flat the rest of the time. She also looked so uptight that she can't seem to give off a genuinely amused or happy expression. What I hated the most was how she just looked like "Meh" in the Be Our Guest scene.
I can agree with that. to me she seemed annoyed or pissed off most of the time
I.M. O. I also feel like she wasn't as "in it". It must be all the green screen action and technical difficulties. I enjoyed it though
I personally disagree. She wasn't flat, I felt she was great at the role, and it's not supposed to be as extremely perfect as the original character, cause let's face it, Belle was like a Mary Sue. Plus, I'd like to see you take a swing at it, would it be easy, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It's funny you say that - when I watched that scene I had the biggest, stupidest grin on my face by the end and I kind of wondered why Belle didn't? Then I realized, "Oh, well, I'm seeing the special effects and she isn't! Duh." So that pulled me out of the movie a little bit -- and made me annoyed for Emma Watson's sake - she really missed out! LOL
+Collen Jagger Right? XD People tend to forget that she was just reacting to the music and a green table haha Of course, she more or less knew what was going on but even so, making a wrong expression could let the editors to their insanity. Just smiling was the safest choice, I guess
Disney used auto tune when Belle was singing. It was a small distraction because the original Belle had a clear, beautiful, non-auto tuned voice.
I don't know if anyone else was sad about the library scene. But I remember I was always exited, and got the chills in the animation film when Beast surprised belle with the gift of the library. I was sad that they didn't put that into the live action film.
I watched this in the theathe and I loved it, and I cried!
I totally agree with the look of the enchanted objects! I think Mrs Potts lost too much expression with the new look however the movie was amazing as a whole!
My favorite part was definitely the snow ball incident. I busted out laughing so hard I almost cried 😂😂😂
The change that I did not like, personally, was the missing "dialogue" in the transformation scene. In the original film, after the beast transforms to human, you can see a "confused" Belle... to reassure Belle, Beast responds, "Belle, it's me." Then Belle looks into his eyes and says, "It is you!" In the remake, only Belle speaks saying "It is you!". I don't know, I really like the original dialogue during this scene.
I feel the animated Chip was really annoying...
I agree with everything you said here except about Chip. I personally enjoyed him far more in this film than the original. I thought he was more of a real boy and not just overly excited about everything. Like when he says to his Mom Mrs Potts "okay I'm older" that made me laugh out loud and it just felt like something that would be such a little boy thing to do when his mother tells him something. Another fantastic video! The level of detail that you put into your work definitely inspires me as a fellow film RUclipsr! I just watched your interviews with the cast as well and I love them and I'm very very jealous! I hope someday that my videos are deemed a good enough by a studio to get a wonderful opportunity also! All the best Jan, have a wonderful day or night whenever it is that you see this! 😀
All the characters were more realistic personality wise in the new 1, expect The Beast I thought he was the exact same in both versions. one of the reasons why I like the new 1 far better.
I was worried about how the new songs won't be good, but once I heard Alan Menkan is writing the music, I knew that it would be great.
I love Evermore also, it breaks my heart every time I hear it. When I first heard that the dorky Matthew Crowley (Downton Abbey) was going to be the beast I scoffed at the thought but at 23 in 1991 I also scoffed at the apparently quiet and shy Robbie Benson; I was wrong both times. I think the only quote I missed was David Ogden-Steir's line, "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep." I loved the recovering scenes in the bedroom, especially the care that Belle takes to check Beast's temperature. The extended use of the Enchantress was clever. I figured she was Agatha when she helped out Maurice at the tree. I also think the entire Maurice taking the wrong path was instigated by the Enchantress, she created the curse and if she didn't do something to create a chance at hope well....no story.
oh my goodness!!! i loved evermore so much!! so well done and emotional! the dan stevens version specifically, but the josh groban one is good too. and my best friend and i realized that we are basically gaston and lefou (when gaston isn't being vain)
I have WAY too many problems with this film, so much more than what I like about this film, it was a poor remake for what could of been an amazing film.
There were some theme changes. There was almost no slapstick with LeFou and he wasn't much of "the fool" anymore. The animated version showed both Gaston and the Beast threatening Belle by using her father, but in the live action, it was almost a story of "What happens when your mom dies and you have a good dad or a bad dad?"
Paul Stegall I liked those changes too! They were handled nicely.
I loved the extra songs Evermore and Days in the sun. There's a wonderful scene that they add as well which gave me goose bumps, where (spoilers) they go to Paris, and Belle remembers her mom, she & beast find common ground. I just think it's a lovely scene. And I also loved the extra characters. Hehe.
I very much agree on all counts! I have been listening to 'Evermore' a lot recently - its gorgeous. And I loved the diversity!
I'm not a fan of the new look for the enchanted objects. They didn't have to look like the cartoon, but they shouldn't have really looked like creepy antiques, either, honestly. As for LeFou being gay, some people need to get a grip. And if all you see is him dancing at the end with a guy for a split second... wow, big deal. What overreactions. I look forward to seeing this movie!!!
She says: The SECOND TIME I WATCHED THE MOVIE....
My reaction: YOU WATCHED THE MOVIE TWO TIMES AS WELL?!!
One of my favorite changes was the more detailed background for Beast and Belle. I also liked how we got to see the prince prior to him being cursed
Also, I complete agree! No one will ever be better than Angela Lansbury and Jerry Orbach
I go with 2017 Beauty and the beast
I really liked the new mob song and just the pure evil in Gaston's voice and the unsureness in Lefou's voice
I haven't seen the original version yet, but in French at some point (when he's fighting Gaston), we got a beautiful "I am not a beast" from the Prince. I thought it was a very clever addition, showing that even if everybody calls him Beast, he still feels human inside.
One of the things I didn't like is actually something they left the same way : he still doesn't say his name! Like, come on, all the fans know your real name is Adam, so just say it and make it completely canon at last! They had many shots at that, when they're talking alone in the library or the garden, and yet she still doesn't ask his name. Curious as Belle is, it's a big plothole for her not to search at least who he is or for him not to want to tell her his real name ToT
