The funniest moment was when Dasha's dog "threw" the pillow off the couch (at :08).

This was apart what is known and the "renaissance era" from 1989 to 1999 there was a highly successful films: - The Little Mermaid - The Rescuers Down Under - Beauty and the Beast - Aladdin - The Lion King - Pocahontas - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Hercules - Mulan - Tarzan

Alan Menken wrote the music for THIS, Aladdin, AND The Little Mermaid. He also did the music for a few others. The man is one of the greatest musical geniuses and I don't think many people realize it.

Angela Lansbury singing Beauty and the Beast has to be one of the most perfect renditions of a song ever.

I've seen this movie many times and never knew there was an extended version. That whole human again song and castle cleaning sequence were not in the theatrical cut of the film. Great react Dasha!

This is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME. Like in my top 5 really. It's such an amazingly told story with a lot of foreshadowing, deeper meanings and just excellent. Also I would say Beauty and the Beast is probably the best remake that Disney had done. It's worth a watch.

Gaston probably has had the triplets, and knows he can. He wants the woman he CAN’T have. And chances are, if Gaston did marry Belle, he doesn’t seem the faithful type.

Aparently.. a wolf is neither affraid of a man or a horde. But if a man is mounted on a hourse. That is really scary for a wolf

This was so adorable to watch. I could see the pure joy on your face as if the animated kitchen staff were putting on the performance for you.

Yes, it's true you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but the Beast also changed himself for the better through the time they spent together.

Seeing what todays reaction would be already had a smile on my face, already knew you would adore it. You should try some of the early disney animated films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs from 1937. You will be amazed by the animation that was done back then. All hand drawn.

This movie made history of being the first animated movie to be nominated for best picture at the academy awards.

I watched this right after you uploaded it, but I noticed that commenting was blocked. Glad to see that we are allowed to leave comments now.

Notice how literally every object in the castle used to be a human. Makes you wonder 1) How many servants did he have, 2) Did he own anything or was the castle empty, and 3) why have so many servants if you have so few things to use, clean, etc.

Saw this with my late wife in the theater on Thanksgiving Day when it came out. The ballroom scene was revolutionary at the time and utterly beautiful on the big screen. For any Disney movie, except “Cinderella, I recommend watching the original animated versions and ignore the live action remakes. Total waste of time. If you want a fun live action version of these, I recommend watching the TV series, “Once Upon A Time.” I also recommend “Chiit Chitty Bang Bang,” “The Sound of Music,” and Disney’s “Mary Poppins.”

The talking candle and the clock will never NOT be my favorate characters in this movie

The Beast letting her go was an act of true love for him, because his issue is that he was all about himself and that's what got him turned into The Beast. So him putting her needs first was a massive step.

I also recommend Anastasia

This was my absolute favorite movie when i was like 4.. My mom would let me rent it every weekend from blockbuster until it annoyed her. I watched this with my Auntie before she was killed and i remember her crying at the end ❤

It is great watching a animated movie that was hand drawn. The colors are better than the computer generated stuff used today.

Ooohh Be careful Disney doesn’t strike this video down. 😟

Fun fact Dasha there was two Soviet fairytale adaptations of Beauty and the Beast and it's called the *Алый цветочек* (Scarlet Flower).

So fun fact. In the original book. It was Beauty (her name wasn't Bell) that needed to learn a lesson, not Beast. In the book, the curse was completely malicious and undeserved. He wasn't cursed for being mean to an old lady, he was cursed for turning down her marriage proposal. Oh, and she was his former nanny. She got gross ideas when he hit his teens and didn't take rejection well. For those who want it, I'll summarize the original version below. So it begins with a prologue. An elderly fairy comes to the human realm, basically for a change of pace and for work. I mention she's old but I mean she's old _by fairy standards._ She gets a job at a castle, caring for the toddler age prince Adam. Meanwhile in a nearby kingdom, the king and queen have been assassinated and the killers are coming for the newborn baby princess. Another, young and pretty fairy spirits the baby away. While looking for a safe place for the baby, she finds a couple who's newborn baby died in her sleep. The fairy replaces the late child with the princess. Years later, puberty hits prince Adam like a truck. He's tall, good looking but, also kind, caring and noble in every sense of the word. His former nanny gets the hots for him and declares her love for him and asks him for his hand in marriage. He politely but firmly turns her down, and she does *not* take it well. She curses him. He turned into a sort of lizard man (not the lion man from the movie) and the curse would kill him after a certain amount of time, though she would remove it if he married her. Meanwhile, Beauty (her name was Beauty, not Bell) has grown into a beautiful and kind, but also vain and judgmental girl. Her father goes on a trip, just like in the movie though I don't remember the details. Now, the young fairy from the prologue approaches the prince, now a beast and informs him that powerful curses, like the one he's under have rules. For curses like that to work, they need a 'way out' clause, and she was able to figure out what that was for his curse. That way out can be complicated and difficult, but they do have to be _possible._ Here were the rules to break the curse. 1. He had to get a woman of royal birth to say she loved him and agree to marry him. 2. When physically in the girl's presence, he had to pretend to be mentally challenged. 3. He could not under any circumstance, tell her anything about his condition or the curse, or have anyone else do so for him. Unfortunately for Adam, there was *exactly one* eligible princess in the entire land, which was what the evil fairy hadn't counted on, believing there were none close enough. The good fairy manipulated Beauty's father into both coming to the castle and stealing. Then when he was imprisoned, she leads him into suggesting Beauty take his place in prison (yeah, lead to it or not, it was *his* idea...father of the year everybody!) I should mention that while basically kidnapping Beauty was the plan from the beginning, prince Adam was NOT okay with it. The fairy had to remind him that he would literally die if he didn't go through with it. So her father gets home and informs her that because he stole for her, he almost went to prison and now she has to so he won't have to. This was all her fault so that's fair. (again, more rewards for the best father ever!!) Beauty was scared, but unselfishly agreed. She's taken to the castle and to her surprise, rather than a dungeon, she's given a suit of rooms, a few magical doodads and some monkey butlers. She is then invited to dine with _the beast._ She is horrified and disgusted by him immediately and barely eats. He makes inane small talk (remember he has to pretend to be stupid) which she doesn't really respond to. At the end of the meal, he tells her he loves her and asks if she would say she loves him and agree to marry. Openly horrified she declares 'never' and the beast runs away sobbing. After that she heads back to her rooms and goes to sleep. Now, the good fairy found an interesting loophole in the rules on the curse. Specifically, that he had to act stupid in her presence. The rule said *physically* in her presence. The good fairy used her magic to allow prince Adam to enter Beauty's dreams as his real self. Similar to real life, they have a meal and chat. Beauty is immediately smitten with prince Adam, basically love at first site, then he speaks to her. Intelligent, understanding and interesting. At the end of the night, he tells her he loves her and asks that she say that she loves him and agrees to marry him. He uses word for word the phrasing he'd used previously. She agrees immediately and wakes up. Days pass and Beauty gradually realizes that the beast is not evil or cruel, but still denies him, if a bit more politely. Then she eagerly goes to sleep after, to meet her 'dream prince.' Both literally and figuratively the man of her dreams. Basically, Beauty is vain, not stupid. She eventually figures out that Beast and prince Adam are the same person and one day when he asks her as Beast, she tells him that she _does_ love him and would be thrilled to marry him. The curse is broken. I don't remember what happened to the evil fairy, but Beauty's true parentage is revealed and they marry. Bonus fact. The novel is *loosely* based on a true story. There was an arranged marriage between a European lord and lady. The man had that disease that's often called werewolf syndrome, where you grow hair basically everywhere. He was often called 'the beast' when he was out of earshot. The woman arranged to marry him basically griped loud and long to anyone who would listen. She hated that her husband would be someone like him. Only after they got married, she basically fell madly in love with him. She defended him viciously and did not tolerate anyone speaking ill of him.

The movie Aladdin had his morale in our face: do not pretend to be someone else. Beauty and the Beast, however, do not shove its morale in our face, which makes it a more pleasant movie to watch.

Hi Dasha!😊 That is great you are finally seeing the original animated Beauty and the Beast! Wonderful reactions to this classic fairy tale, Dasha!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

This movie came out the year I was born. When I was little, I had a "Sing-a-long" VHS produced by Disney that featured a bunch of random singing scenes from different Disney movies. They would have the words at the bottom with a bouncing ball. One of the singing scenes they included was the first song from this movie. I think I had watched Beauty and the Beast before that, but I didn't own it. And I remember I badly wanted to get it and rewatch the movie again for years, but I don't think I ever did.

Someone's else's option should be taken with a gain of salt, but if you love the story you owe it to yourself to watch the remakes. I couldn't emagine the live action Aladdin being any good, and in fact I liked it just as much as the original.

Gaston wanted to marry Belle because she is the most beautiful woman in town and like he said "She is the best and don't I deserve the best?". He is the most popular man in town and is consindered the best, so that's why he's so adamant to have Belle as his wife. Also, like in most countries are today, you could only marry one in the past (in his case circa late 18:th century to early 19:th century), so even if Gaston would consinder to marry The Bimbettes (as the blonde trio is called) he had to choose ONE of them.

The remakes look fantastic, but none of them manage to capture the spirit or charm of the originals

Dasha Reacts: Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. LOVE this movie SO much. Saw it originally at the movie theater when it was released, in 1991. I cried when it looked as if "The Beast" had died. Then had tears of joy at the happy ending. This was the FIRST, and actually the ONLY*, animated movie to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture on its OWN MERITS ( although it lost to 'The Silence of the Lambs,' which had come out earlier that same year. ) Unfortunately many of the voice cast members are no longer with us. Including: Jerry Orbach ( voice of "Lumière," ) who passed away in 2004; David Ogden Stiers ( voice of "Cogsworth," ) who died in 2018; and brilliant, veteran, British actress ( Dame ) Angela Lansbury ( voice of "Mrs. Potts," ) who passed away in 2022. *After 1991 there were a FEW animated films nominated for best picture, but only to round out the number of nominees needed. Later, a new catagory was added for Best Animated Film.

The voice of Mrs. Potts was Angela Lansbury, a legendary actress particularly with Disney. She starred in their much older film "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", worth a watch if you're in the right mood. She's (sadly?) most famous for her long-running TV show "Murder She Wrote", playing a mystery writer who solves murders everywhere she goes.

Their master was a jerk, so the enchantress.... turned hundreds of his servants into sentient, animate objects. Even the dog and Mrs. Potts's children.

Well, it’s all subjective opinion of course, but the live action versions of Disney animated movies go, Beauty and the Beast is one of the more accurate ones. Not perfect, but nothing stood out to me as “aww that was my favourite part and they changed it!!!” So, I’d say yeah, give the Emma Watson version a shot.

Looking forward to watching this after work. You should try "Eastern Promises" and check out all the Russian dialogue. I enjoy your reactions very much. Thank you!

Gaston's mob is a metaphor for so many things today.. Keep going, comrades, don't let them overwhelm us!

Back when Disney produced quality stuff! Look at this hand drawn magic! Imo..they lost their soul when they went to strictly CGI...not that I hate computer animated...but it IS much harder to hand draw a whole movie this good. So you can feel the passion, the hard-work that went into every frame.

“People in this village don’t really have anything to do, eh?” I laughed out loud. XD You’re right! Basically, get a life and leave the beast alone when his only victim said to… I forgot about Gaston being a hunter. So from his perspective, this will be like getting rid of a bear. (Morally, I’m sure it means nothing to him, since everyone and everything is seen as a trophy or a way of getting one.)

May I recommend The Lion King as your next Disney movie reaction. Great story, characters, and songs.

"the beauty is there - but the beast is in her heart" ... lines from a song

Cover model Fabio, famous for his long flowing hair, used to be on a TV series called "Acapulco H.E.A.T." with Catherine Oxenberg. Once, when she had her little girl on the set with her, the child saw Fabio and, thinking he looked like the human version of the prince in "Beauty and the Beast," pointed to him shouting "Beast! Beast!" Fabio was initially upset because, being a big brawny guy, he thought the little girl was frightened of him when she called him a "beast," but Catherine explained to him that it was a reference to the Disney film.

My favorite Disney movie! Glad you enjoyed it, Dasha. Ignore the skeptics who try to spread their negativity in the comments😉

Watch RED. Watch RED. Watch RED! A great fun action movie, with a Russian character. You'll like it.

Part of the inspiration for this story is La Bête de Gévaudan, a wolf-like creature that stalked and killed throughout southern France in the 1750s. It was so notorious even King Louis XV sent his royal rifle-bearer to kill it. There's a point where it attacked a young peasant girl who drove it off with a pitchfork.

This movie well deserved its nomination for best picture.

Me personally, I think the remakes are worth a watch at least once, even if only so you can form your own opinion on them. And on that note, really pleased with how you appear to have had fun with this movie (and am really hoping you perhaps watch and react to The Lion King if you’ve never watched that movie before :))

You should watch the videos of people interacting with the guys who play Gaston at Disneyland/World. They're pretty hilarious. Especially their interactions with little girls. 😆

7:52 "The castle is _your_ home, now, so you can go _anywhere_ you like... except the west wing." "What's in the west-" "It's _forbidden!"_ Beast, if you want Belle to stay out of the west wing, just tell her it's your private domain where you go when you want to be left _alone._ She'll accept that.

I think you ought to look at "Sleeping Beauty" by Disney, and then see the movie, "Maleficent". I think you'd like both.

dasha watch "an american tale" its not disney but its my fav and you will remember a thing or two from when you where younger 😉😉

My only complain about this movie, is the prince looks better as a beast than as a human, lol! 😄

Masterpiece ever. Great

Dash you are the definition of the type of girl that wants to "fix him" haha 😂

If I say this is about Stockholm Syndrome will people think I’m smarter than a movie intended for 8 year olds? Great video, I hope you do a Mulan one. 👍🏻

😺Dasha!!! 😺 As with all stories, movies & TV shows... Only you can say if it is good enough for you! I myself can't get into any of the 'live remakes' - none of them even though I do love Hermione! They don't have a 'magical essence' that this version projects.

Hey Dasha, you should react to Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), which makes us question what makes the monster and what makes the man.

The best movie that has ever come out of the Disney canon as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad you liked it.

The old lady is based off a biblical angel 😇 💖 there is a verse that says , make sure to be kind to weary strangers at your door., you might be entertaining angels unaware

😎👍 You're always fun to watch. I did a search of your channel to find out what other Disney/Pixar movies you've reacted to so far. A grand total of 13 of them (13½ if you count "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"). As a dog lover, there are at least three Disney cartoon features that I'm certain you'll enjoy: "Lady & The Tramp" (1955), "101 Dalmatians" (1961) and "Bolt" (2008). 🐕 I also noticed that you've only watched the first two "Toy Story" movies. 🤠 I assure you the 3rd and 4th ones are just as good (if not better) than the first two.

Great watch Dasha! Glad you got filled with this greatness. Now that you watched it, you would enjoy the 2017 movie version with Emma Watson. It's the closest best version. Thanks!!!!

0:06 LOL your dog knocking the pillow off the couch made me laugh! I guess Dasha is the beauty & the dog is the beast!

Top 5 favorite animated Disney movies ever

Watch the live action version it's fantastic visual effects and cast are great

At 22:30 Dasha got the premise of the story wrong. The real premise of the original story is that in order to be lovely, you must first be loved.

I'm so glad to see that you still have your Christmas tree up. Good for you

Disney World has the "Be Our Guest" dinner show.

PERFECT MOVIE. AMAZING REACTION.

You should definitely watch the 2017 live action remake! Emma Watson is excellent!

What do you think about the scene where Belle calls Gaston out for being the only "monster" she knows?

That pillow got rekt

Great reaction. Some of the live actions are ok, especially the Aladdin one, was pretty good.

Oddly, most girls kind of prefer the Beast in his bestial form, relative to his Prince form. Kinda like how most dudes fancy Ariel with a fishtail rather than not...

I would recommend Anastasia (1997) and Belle (2021)

Anybody here ever seen Wisbone dog days West it was a blockbuster classic rented it

No matter how comfortable, chosen or condemned, a cage is still a cage.

Great movie 😊

I love the way this film is written in the form of a Broadway musical. I know they all are staged but this really was the breakthrough film. Great react…thank you.

Of course Phillip is smart, because he has horse sense after all. This is my favorite Disney movie. Not only do I have the DVD. Bit also two tattoos. ✌️❤️🌹

Gaston's death was meant to be extended at first. He survived the fall, only to meet his end by the wolves. The creators thought it would have been too graphic to put in the movie. However, they used that idea in another movie down the line ( not gonna say which one as I think Dasha hasn't watched it yet).

Nice reaction!

Oh Lumiere, I've been burnt by you before!

One of Disney’s best films 🎥

“Maybe the fact that he’s huge and ugly is a good thing now” I assume this is the reason my wife married me lol

Hold that thought. I'm about to go beast mode 🐐

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I always thought he looked better as the Beast than he did as a human :P

Hi Dasha, There is a live action version of this movie, but the animated version you just watched is the best, by far. Yup, it's a good one.

If you consider this your new favorite story, just wait until you see "The Little Mermaid" and then you might have a new favorite. Always enjoy your reactions.

Correct answer best Disney movie: LION KING

Best Disney movie ever.

when you lose everything or feel like you have like when he was turned into the beast it's not uncommon for people to become it fully. If I am to appear like a beast then I might as well be one being the thought. Many storys & real life examples show this some may call it even depression in the end it's all shows the evils of vanity & materialism...

Sure, the beast turned back into a person, but he's still stabbed.

Dasha using the word chick really made me laugh. Why doesn't he marry the three chicks? Ha Ha. . So refreshing and innocent picking up on American terms. Hellacruel also made me smile.

Awww. Dasha thinks Beast is cute. Yay

None of the remakes are worth watching, except probably Pete's Dragon (2016)

Another great reaction Dasha, I think you should react to The Elephant Man, it is a beautiful film directed by David Lynch a real tear jerker. I am really sure you'd love it.

Dasha, after you've watched all the Disney Renaissance movies -- and maybe a few of the classics -- you need to visit Walt Disney World.

I hate that they got rid of human again in the American version

If you’re going to do more animated Disney stuff, it would be interesting to see your take on Anastasia

Despite not really liking the Disney live action version, it’s hard for me not to mentally picture Luke Evans as Gaston any time I see the character these days. The whole sequence for "Tale As Old As Time" always hits me. Still my favorite animated Disney film, although Moana is close behind.

Another great reaction Dasha. Keep up the great work.

Lumbered is Jerry Orbach, the father in Dirty Dancing. The first animated movie nominated for the Best Film Oscar. The CGI ballroom in the dancing scene was groundbreaking.
