I believe that is why Disney can be so amazing is they do cast for someone who is the character

@@JJJoeJoe Mrs Pots was and does indeed become human again in beauty and the beast.

No she's miss price !

I know..I realize she was in Sweeney Todd and also Murder She Wrote but I agree..to me she is Mrs. Pots.

Figuratively. She's not an actual talking teapot. That's just make-believe.

It was during the same era she was Jessica Fletcher! And while I think people recognize her as both Jessica and Mrs. Potts, what is less obvious is that Jerry Orbach, who is Detective Briscoe on Law and Order, and was a detective friend of Jessica's, Harry McGraw, is Lumiere. I mean, I can hear Angela Lansbury's voice from Mrs. Potts - Orbach managed to sound very different as a French guy. And I love how Jessica completely remakes her life (becoming a writer, adopting a new lifestyle) in her 50s and 60s.

@@dementednun1175 Who asked you to be a Debbie downer? Let us celebrate the legends that are Angela Lansbury and Jerry Orbach.

@@dementednun1175 keeping your voice in good shape and keeping your breath support into old age is not very common in Broadway due to their extremely demanding performance schedules. George Foreman is a legendary boxer for somehow winning a title at 45, and Angela Lansbury is a legend for still performing well into her 60s and even 80s.

@@Turt3752 and yet it happens

@@hbk2115 ...k?

They made good suggestions.

Wow !! Thanks for sharing ! Had no idea 😊

I could never see Mrs. Potts singing pop music. No way.

#RIP Samuel E. Wright

Thank God

I saw that movie aeons ago, I’m not sure but I think it was Samson and Delilah and she played a “baddie”. She is one of the greatest of the greats.

@@josephinefothergill191 She played Semadar, the older sister of Delilah

Amazing

Your definitely right about that! 😀

@@itoko05 me too Derek Llewellyn feel like I was in Disneyland before

They are lipsyncing here for promotional material

@@kevinwilson3609 yep. At 0:28 she says "she's our guest" but her lips say "he's our guest" because it was originally going to be sung to Maurice. Even still, it's cool to see her performing in the booth.

@@kevinwilson3609 I agree that the music has been imposed on the video, it does not always match up with the lip movements, but some people are quite expressive and physical when they sing. It helps to connect with the song, I know that I put more emotions in songs when I am moving through them.

@@trickytreyperfected1482 so that means the footage came first, so she’s probably not lip syncing

Most people who do voice overs actually act within the booth. You have to in order to get the voice to actually match. It’s like in sales how they can say people can hear a smile.

@Peter Evans This is 1990, so try again...

@Peter Evans And this isn't 1991, it's June 1990. Learn how to read the description on a video before commenting with ignorant BS.

@Peter Evans This video has nothing to do with her life and what she looked like in 1991, being that the footage above is from *June* *1990* , for a project released 17 1/2 months later in November 1991. No one else referred to what she looked like in 1991, because the video is from the previous year. People can easily change from year to year due to varying health, even if she didn't change at all. It's very telling how you ignorantly assumed this video was from 1991 to make a dumb joke and it actually wasn't, per the description (that you cannot even read well). You're too incorrigible to admit to being wrong about missing an obvious detail and moving on. Also, liking your own comments doesn't make your lousy defense any more credible and is the mark of an insecure person. When you have to stoop to bigoted accusations out of thin air (which hold no weight: raised well here indeed, educated at the best, & born in England), you obviously have no real argument. Put a sock in it.

@Peter Evans Your opinion doesn't mean much, considering you took it as a petty opportunity to insult someone. Nobody asked you what you thought of how she looked one year after this video.

@Peter Evans She looked like the typical woman in her mid-60s in 1990 when this was taped. Your opinion means nothing on her aLrEaDy lOoKiNg 95 iN 1991 if the next person disagrees, in being as I stated, petty and lacking any basis. Try and reread your own commentary, if you're becoming lost that quickly. Other than me being pedantic over the actual date, no one acknowledged your lame joke, as to be nearly 100 and look virtually the same as you did when leaving your middle aged years (over 3 decades earlier) vs being a rotting corpse in the ground, is a feat. Let's see what you look like at 95 vs 65.

Indeed, we will.

She was also wonderful in “Murder she Wrote”.

My mum is a cockney Londoner. She sounds exactly like Angela Lansbury.

They were also on Angela’s show Murder, She Wrote numerous times.

I watch Murder She Wrote every week day at tea time. I have watched them over and over and brought my granddaughters up in this. In fact one of them bought the full CD set of the series. I particularly enjoy the episodes with Orbach in them.

no they don't. talent is rare nowadays ☹ I also love Fred Astaire. I was born at the wrong time.

@@josephinefothergill191 when I moved to Belgium I didn't know a word of French. The first two months I watched Murder she wrote every morning dubbed in French. It was my starting point. There are some episodes I can recite word by word 😅

@@ElenaFanelli “Henri, I don’t know about our new neighbor. The only words she seems to know in French are murder, gun, knife, and police.”

*they're

@@opo3628 Shut up

Totally. She was in so many Disney movies of my childhood. The grandma I wish I’d had!

@@CB394 I like the live action one too but I always like the originals better 🙂

The '91 version is definitely the best one, but I honestly didn't think the live-action was too bad. not a big fan of gayston but if I was forced to re-watch a live action disney remake, i'd most likely pick the beauty and the beast one. Or maleficent. that one was good

@@hobomike6935 I agree 🙂

@@maddierella4491 I agree. Both are good, 1991 is better.

@@kennethlowrey2902 Yas 👏

I remember having the same reaction. "Lenny Briscoe is LUMIERE!?"

Also Mr Houseman in Dirty Dancing

@@JamieBoy-ij2ri “he’s the one who put Baby in the corner”

@@TheyMadeMePickAName lol

he puts on a voice for his acting, he can change it based on the role. he was different in Dirty Dancing than on Murder She Wrote and different on Law and Order

You do realize that "she" and "he" look exactly alike on the lips. Only your tongue makes them sound different. And I can clearly hear the "sh" sound. I know that in an early draft Be our guest was suppose to be sung to Maurice but it was changed way before they started recording.

@@soniaforbes5435 also they did record the version where they sang to Maurice. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMpzYL2d2L-3oKM.html

she said "she's our guest". It only sounds like Angela pronounced He at the proper time when her hands covered her mouth. But listen again.

You can't read lips at all, she is clearly singing "see my vest, see my vest made from real gorilla chest."

@@emptyhand777 lol I literally just laughed out loud - you win KZfaq with that comment

Yes, and quite unusual even for a Disney movie! It was done with a live orchestra to make it feel like a stage performance, rather than a cartoon movie. There's quite a bit of footage from that recording session in the 2018 documentary "Howard" (about Howard Ashman who wrote the song).

They should do this with more of the Disney musicals. It'd help make the performances feel much more genuine

@@pryordevine3855 Yes. Although, admittedly, there's a lot that could be done to make recent Disney musicals feel much more genuine. Stop using pitch correction, for example. Sadly the era of the great Disney musical is long over.

Agree. Angela Landsbury & Jerry Orbach... two acting legends. 💙💙

O that's amazing

Spread the gospel jesus DIED for us so repent and spread the word of God

That's part of the power of Disney animation.

You should watch Sweeney todd if you haven't, she plays the female lead in that show.

Jess and Harry, they are like Holmes and Watson. I love that show. ❤

YES A FELLOW MURDER SHE WROTE LOVER!

don't forget bedknobs and broomsticks..

And Fantasía 2000.

@marinawilliams8786 I hope you will reply to this I loved Jerry Orbach so handsome even as an older guy

😢 she was one of my favorite actress and voice actress back then and I’m happy I watched Beauty And The Beast, she will be missed.

I love this! People bag on Sleeping Beauty for being boring but it’s always been one of my favorites.

@@hayleydoesthings Mine too. It's really absolutely enchanting. If it does have a fault it's that the prince has no lines for the second half of the film.

@@phoenix1985 I mean it's a super long music video to show case the Music of Tchaikovsky in essence. I respect that

@@MissCaraMint Not to mention a visual style that is utterly unique, even by Disney standards.

@@phoenix1985 I believe Disney said he wanted basically create a moving tapestry. Something where every individual frame was a work of art in it's own right. You can tell just how lovingly this movie was crafted. I recommend watching some of the comenaty about the making of it.

If you Google search Murder She Wrote, you can find a long list of guest stars, a very long list! I was surprised at the many actors and actresses that played different characters in that show.

He sure is.
