Fun reaction - I adore this movie. It bugs me when people say it's "Stockholm Syndrome" bc that would be if Belle changed/lowered her standards and accepted him as the rude ragemonster, changing herself to fit him. No, in this movie, she held onto her standards, and he had to change to live up to them. That's the opposite.

I think there’s a huge misconception about the rose. People think that when they say the rose blooms until the Beast’s 21st birthday, that it immediately wilts post that time. That isn’t the case. The rose STARTS to wilt upon the 21st birthday, meaning that it could be wilting for years before the last petal falls. So it’s very likely the Beast was older than 11 when he was cursed.

"No sweetie that's considered child abuse at this point." That made me Muttley laugh 😂

MoviesInDepth: “Personality Matters.” MoviesInDepth literally at the end of the movie: (comments about the looks of the protagonist while weighing his assessment)

Seriously nothing tops the "Prologue" from this movie. From the music to the scenery, to the stained glass. Just beautiful!

It's a pretty common opinion that Human!Beast is probably one of the less attractive princes; he does still fit the general time and place, so the accuracy is there but... yeah, it led to a lot of young and teen girls having to unravel finding the beast form more appealing. Rude, Disney. Pay for my therapy. Or own up to instigating an era of monster romance writers and readers.

Friendly reminder that this version is Howard Ashmans swan song. Much of the beasts struggles came directly from Ashmans own struggles with AIDS. If you listen really close to Kill the Beast, you can actually hear how it plays into this narrative.

The rose is supposed to stop when he turns 21, but in be out guest, lumiere says “10 years we’ve been rusting” that means that apparently the enchantress cursed a literal 11 year old…

"Good God! The beast has no chill whatsoever!" That is probably one of the most accurate summaries of the character I've heard.

Belle has always been one of my favorite leads. She knew people thought she was odd but didn't really care. For example with Gaston dismissing her love of reading while the Beast gave her whole library.

People often say that the beast's human form isn't amazing looking but honestly I've always appreciated it the most out of all the Disney princes as it best matches the origin of the story it comes from. The story comes from french folklore and the original writer was french and so I feel his appearance distinctly matches that.

Fun Fact: Chip is voiced by Bradley Pierce, who also voiced Tails in Sonic SatAM and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. He also starred in The Borrowers, and the original Jumanji!

Ever since I was a kid this has been my favorite Disney movie. It is a lot of fun and teaches a great lesson about judging people by who they are and not what they look like. So glad you saw it and enjoyed it.

"Sweetie, you may want to move we're about to disneyfy this..." that cracked me up! x"D ROFL!!

14:23 Fun Fact: The Asylum owner has the same voice as Frollo from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, namely Tony Jay!

beauty and the beast actually came out in 1991 not the 80's (the little mermaid is what came out in 1989), and yes it is an absolute classic! your commentary was killing me xD

I love this movie I literally had the dress, the crown, the rose, I have a necklace that has a book and rose, literally Belle is the reason I love reading and France, I had Mrs. pots and chip

"Ohh, they're being gross together" I had pause and could only could only continue watching after like 5 minutes of laughing

My family has always loved this movie. My mom and dad’s wedding was beauty and the beast themed, and my parents are somehow both really similar to Belle and The Beast. But growing up I could never watch the scene where we first meet the beast in this version. It took me 14 years before I could watch the whole movie.

To answer the “how old was he” thing, the stained-glass at the beginning clearly shows that the prince was at least 16 or so. If the rose blooms until his 21st year and starts to wilt then, that means it bloomed for 5 years, and to me, it makes sense that the wilting process would take just as long. 5 years of blooming+5 years of wilting=10 years. Another explanation is that Lumiere was exaggerating and that it’s only been 3-5 years. Since Lumiere has a flair for the dramatic, I wouldn’t doubt this at all.

Here's the cool thing: if you look into the historical context of this story, it actually explains almost everything. Example: she's the quirky girl that doesn't fit in because she wasn't born there. She still remembers Paris. Which they sort of touched on in the remake.

Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses! The live action was disappointing… but not the most disappointing live action

7:13 Horses have a superhuman sense of smell. While not as good as a dog’s, they can effectively use it to track their human companions (among other things).

‘Beauty and the Beast’ is the Disney version of ‘Pride and Prejudice’.

Omg I haven’t heard of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ in a while. It’s quite a tale.

I'm so glad you watched the one I love. I love every rendition of this story. No matter what. But this is the most beautiful version.

18:51 Gaston: “let me go!” The Joker (Heath Ledger): “Very poor choice of words!” 🤣

To answer your question, The prince was twenty one when he was cursed. He was then a beast for twenty one years. So technically he’s 41 to 42 for the story, but his human form was paused while he was cursed so essentially he’s only 21. As a side note, Lumier says that they haven’t entertained for ten years. And the beast thinks Maurice came to gawk at him. So who was it that came to the castle ten years prior, enjoyed a feast, gawked at the beast, and ran away? Considering Gaston led the townspeople right to the castle, I think it’s safe to say it was him.

It's believed the beast was 12 or 13 when the curse took place. The boy was practicing stranger danger, lol. Also, when this film was first aired it was only the voice acting and sketch art, and it got a standing ovation as incomplete as it was. Update: he was actually 11 still close enough to be messed up.

Angela Lansbury is an icon for singing ‘A Tale as Old as Time’. ‘Chip’ was cute too!

This is my favorite Disney animated movie of all time. The music, the story, the characters, the voice actors, true love changing someone for the better, and so much more. Its an amazing story and will always have a place in my heart. Fun fact the movie was nominated for best picture bc the category for best animated film didn’t exist yet. It’s the best!

4:38 - Yes, this. I've ridden for years and when you're not in a safe enclosed space the horse should be kept a close eye on. I was having a terrible trek (horse did not want to play ball), got her to settle just as we were heading back down from a mountain when she started playing up again for no reason. Yeah, some moron on a mountain bike came out of the steep scrub and ploughed into the middle of the group of horses. FUN.

Okay your quips were on point in this video "That chin of his could be classified as a weapon" "There's this thing called consent and you don't have it" "It's either enchanted or I'm HIGH" 😂

The book Belle reads and describes to the book seller is Aladdin. I forget if it was confirmed or just a really popular fan theory, but it fits if you think about it

While I wasn't blown away by Emma Watson as Belle, can we just take a moment to appreciate Luke Evans as Gaston? Perfection lol

Is anyone going to tell him that there already is a Disney version of Sleepy Hollow that came before Tim Burtons?

I'm loving how you're watching disney classics rn, more reaction channels should do that! Btw, i asked that some time ago, but have you ever watched "mirror mirror"? Is not from disney but is like a snow white spin-off, and it is just AMAZING, and also so underrated! If you never watched, please do, i think you would love it, believe me.

❤ This story! My favorite version was the 1987 TV series with Catherine (Linda Hamilton) & Vincent (Ron Perlman) ❤

Fact time! Apparently, Angela Lansbury (Mrs Potts) sang "Beauty and the Beast" in one take and that's what is used in the movie!

3:48 IT WAS A LIBRARY BOOK (Also, maybe this is a hint for you to react to ‘Matilda’ which came out in 1996)

6:03 Back in the day? It's 2D animation. It doesn't matter that it was "back in the day." Just because things are 3d nowadays doesn't automatically make them better. I WISH we still had 2D animation in movies like this, but, Toy Story kinda killed it.

The og is my childhood. It’s a big part of the inspiration to my personality. Belle is an inspiration!

Chip: Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard? MID: No sweetie that's considered child abuse at this point. Me: Tell that to Harry Potter!

As a ginger I love that the beast has reddish hair/eyebrows and lashes!👨🏻‍🦰❤️ I thought you as a ginger would have appreciated it 😄

I think you’d be a great Belle because you seem to mirror her thoughts while reacting to the movie.

Fun fact: The Prince’s name is Adam

tbh i think it's fitting that the beast's human form isn't the most gorgeous ever. this probably wasn't intended, since story-wise beast was meant to be very handsome and that contributed to his bad attitude and ego pre curse. but it actually fits better with the theme of the story that he isn't _that_ handsome. it's perfect that he turned out to be a nice-looking but mostly average guy, bc belle doesn't care either way. it was never his appearance that she fell for in the first place, that won't change now that he's human. but yeah, the live action was good, but it can't hold a candle to the animated! belle and her dress are too iconic, and the songs are truly magical.

"Or yeeted" Yeeeeeeet

I was actually caught off guard when I saw you decided to do this movie!😮 Surprisingly enough, Beauty and The Beast is actually my childhood movie!😊 Belle is my favorite Disney princess, among others of course!😋 Her romantic relationship with the Beast is nothing short of adorable, second best to Aladdin and Jasmine!⭐ How about you do Captain Underpants:The First Movie next? It's filled with hilarious amounts of comedy that people of all ages can enjoy!😃 Hope you're doing well, and Plus Ultra!❤️ Do you know that phrase?🙂

The book Belle was reading was actually an easter egg for Aladdin. "Far off places," fictional kingdom of Agrabah. "Daring sword fights," all the sword fighting references in the movie. "A prince in disguise." Aladdin disguised himself as a prince.

The Beast (Prince Adam) was the first Disney prince who had negative traits; before, the princes were kind and heroic. After him, there were several Disney Princes who were selfish and/or arrogant (John Smith, Naveen, and Flynn Rider), though we did still have kind ones (Aladdin, Shang).

The best Disney movie ever! I mean the whole thing was developed like a stage musical before they even made it a stage musical, lol

Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture that year so was the winner for Best Animated Film

Petition for either an Anastasia, Road to El Dorado, or Sinbad reaction-

When Gaston falls he actually has skull and crossbones in his eyes

"How does a clock do excercise?" Killing time? 😄

4:04 You just answered your own question. 😉

I want a whole movie of Chip alone because he is the cutest character in the world

Such a good movie it’s a classic and i find myself rewatching it from time to time

3:14 - you not going to mention that he shot an arrow out of a smoking gun? Also, please consider reacting to "Gargoyles" - it's really interesting.

19:31 his real name is prince Adam.

People tend to forget that she when she went to the castle it was summer and when she went back home it was winter. So she like spend like months with him and learn to know him temper and all and she also had time to work her magic on him

In regards to the discrepancy between rhe picture and Luminere's song, I was listening to a podcast with the director of the movie that explains it. Ashman, the lyrcist of the movie, wanted him to be a child when cursed because that's how it is in the classic french tale. The director wanted him to be a teenager, 16-18. Otherwise, it would make the enchantress seem cruel. Apparently they never came to an agreement. The aforementioned discrepancy was a result of this.

You asked how long it had been since the Beast was transformed and in Be Our Guest Lumiere says “For ten years we’ve been rusting” and since the rose still has some petals that means that the Beast was ten when the Enchantress changed him into a Beast.

"I feel like we just walked in the disney version of sleey hollow" Me: *Side eyes Disney's The Adventures of Ichabod on my shelf*

To answer ur question on how a clock does exercises... let me just say it does have 2 hands that move clockwise and counterclockwise.

I feel like if you were an inanimate object in this movie, you'd definitely be Lumiere :P

The devolution of Gaston is interesting. While he's never a sympathetic character, in the first half he's little more than a stupid jerk, more funny than frightening, almost in the 'lovable goof' category. In the second act, obsessed with his rejection of Belle, he becomes more dangerous and frightening, and, especially, more an active agent, preparing to have Maurice put away, leading the anthem to hatred, 'Kill the Beast', and ultimately stabbing said Beast in the back in an act of bestiality and cowardice. As the Beast becomes more human, Gaston becomes more the beast (as, of course, the script tells us explicitly). I wonder how the actors for Gaston in the stage productions approach it. In the first act, they want Gaston to get laughs; in the second act, they want the audience to cheer at his demise (in the film, I think, Le Fou abandons this Gaston). This might not be easy, especially for less experienced actors, e.g., in high school productions.

0:30 You have given me another great excuse to play Beauty and the Beast during this season!

15:23 Now that we stay mostly at home, we’ve all become the Beast at some point 😂

Yesss!! I’ve been waiting for this!! This one’s a classic

"The Disney version of Sleepy Hollow" Apparently you never saw "Ichabod and Mr. Toad"

" Ohhh now the horse is brave." 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹

12:12 That's Zazu in Lion King🤣

9:11 : *He can lift a BENCH,...with those three girls* OK, PLEASE tell me someone heard him say something other then "bench" 😂🤣

I didn't fully appreciate Cogsworth's castle tour until I became an art history major. The Baroque joke still gets me. Also: Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Please

my cousin and her little kid just got a new puppy the other day and named her Belle!! she's super adorable and very brown i don't know what kind of dog except that she's a good one

It was released in 1991. The final film was fully produced from 1990 to 1991. So not the 80s.

4:41 Uh… …you HAVE seen the Disney version of Sleepy Hollow, right? 🤨 It’s under the title The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad.

9:22 I do the same thing every time Iisten to this song 🤣

loved this one as a kid, still love it as an adult. great video! :) I'd love you to see react to Pocahontas and a live action Peter Pan (with Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Jason Isaacs) :)

God I've watched about 6 videos of yours already. And I am loving each and single one of them. Your good at this and funny.

If you like puppies in disney films, you should watch (if you haven't already) Lady and the Tramp and/or The Fox and the Hound.

OMG, I thought I was the only one who thought The prince could have looked better. I would have asked him to turn back into the beast. Lol

I nearly spit out my juice when you said the 80's! 🤣🤣🤣 This movie was released in 1991. Great commentary!

We were all disappointed when Beast turned into human🤣🤣

I think most corgis look like the footstool/footrest in this movie. Lol it makes me very happy.

beauty and the beast has always been my fav and belle was always my fav princess. i also love rapunzel, tiana, merida, mulan, and moana

Ahh Be Our Guest. Great scene with tons of delicious looking food.. and she still didn't get shit to eat afterwards.

I am into women and even i say when he get turned back to human: "You look better before" :P Well, let's faced it folks. Gaston is aweful. But Beast (His name is supposed to be Adam btw.) ? And if you're watching the Beauty and the Beast - Enchanted Chrismas, and seeing what Adam do there.. that makes this relationship even more aweful. Not aweful as the 2017 RL version but worse enough. The best version of this story (in my eyes) in the Beauty and the Beast from Christophe Gans (french production) from 2014. And the only version of this story, were they take care of the sourcematerial.

Beauty and the Beast is a thanksgiving movie now, huh?? 😂😂

I'm surprised you hadn't seen this one yet but I love seeing reactions to it so yay. I got to visit the Beast's castle at Disney World a few years ago. It was so beautiful. This movie is definitely up there with my all time Disney favorites. 🌹

You completely made my day good sir! Thank you!

"Wait, so you don't mean to intrude but you wanna crash there for the night?!" Oh heck yeah! That was actually a thing back in the day - because horseback was basically the fastest mode of travel, you basically had to spend DAYS of traveling to get anywhere. If night fell and there wasn't an inn around you would have been SO fucked, so there was this wide-spread idea of hospitality; basically, you were supposed to let strangers crash in your house if they needed to. Sounds dangerous, and yeah, it totally was, but there were rules; the guest had to be gracious and try to make up for the intrusion by being helpful and/or providing the host with some kind of gift (if they could afford it) and the host was basically suppose to provide shelter and food, and neither was supposed to allow any harm to come to the other. It was necessary because otherwise travel was incredibly dangerous or outright impossible. And the necessity of it is why the concept of hospitality is so viciously protected in folklore - there are a lot of old gods who would FUCK YOU UP if you broke the rules of hospitality. A lot of fairy tales include that stuff too, like how Faeries can't hurt you in their homes or whatever - it's hospitality. It's why vampires can't enter your home uninvited - because someone who takes advantage of your hospitality (by, say, biting you in your sleep) is LITERALLY a leech-monster. Also that's why the Beast gets cursed in the first place; he was able to offer hospitality to the old lady and she provided him a gift in return as expected (and clearly couldn't afford anything more) and he was just a jerk and rejected her, which basically doomed her to die in the cold. That's literally what the enchantress is punishing him for - failing to adhere to the rules of hospitality.

They developed new animation technology for this one, specifically showcased in the ballroom scene. Growing up, we saw very few movies in the theater. This was one of them, and if I remember right, might have been the very first movie my younger sibs saw in a theater.

My absolute favorite movie of all time. Doesn't matter what I'm doing or how old I am. When it's playing, I end up starry eyed and cross-legged on the floor like a little kid.

beauty and the beast is like my favorite film of all time, inside of Disney and outside, also my fav aminated film. The film is better than the remake.

I subscribed to you earlier this week, when you first got all them comments from me. Lol. Love your vids!

You might consider unrealistic how superficial everybody in that village was, admiring Gaston despite him being an absolute jerk... but remember, this was literally a backwater village. Mere *literacy* was considered to be ODD! For such simple, close-minded people, being strong, hunting and looks, was all that mattered.

This could almost be a thanksgiving movie until you realize the french don't celebrate thanksgiving lol
