Beauty and the Beast (Bevanfield) - Phelous 

There isn't even any reason why M. Renard and Beauty's father have to be cousins! They could've just been business partners and it would have changed nothing

According to an interview with an animator for this film, Paul Gunson, nobody at Bevanfield saw this or Aladdin as anything more than cashing in on the Disney films, and that there were no line testers or checkers. Apparently, different staff members, such as secretaries, were given writing and producing work, many non animators, so no permanent senior members were there to learn from. Also, no rushes were checked before the final print was made. To make matters worse, the voice actors recorded to animation, not the other way around, so the director guessed the time for lip movements, and when the actors tried to match it up, it wasn't enough to match up, but rather than cut the extra space (again, cause it was the final print), the director would simply cut between lines in order to make the dialogue fit the animation, hence the awkward pauses. It was a mess.

I like how Beauty one minute says she has no interest in marrying unless a handsome prince comes along, then chastised her sister for putting looks above anything else. CONTINUITY, WHO NEEDS IT 😂

The bad guy was a bad guy!? This is the biggest twist since finding out your father the black panther is your father!

I'm not surprise Christopher Lee did a decent job all things considered. He had a philosophy that he should never be bad even if in a bad movie.

Phelous, I want you to know, that because of you I had a really hard time not bursting out laughing at inappropriate times when I watched Beauty and the Beast in a movie theater tonight. The part where Belle was about leave I thought. "Oh no, if she doesn't come back he'll die... Of lonliness". And I was just waiting for Maurice to smile big and go EEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I just realised you nicknamed Monsieur Rodent as Monsieur Merde, which stands for mister shit; as a french person I thank you for that

Wow, Christopher Lee actually tried here. I'm impressed that he doesn't ever want to half-ass anything he's in, even if he was probably paid in Monopoly money for it, but I'm not sure THIS was worth it.

Old Man: I'll name you Beauty! Mousier Rodant: Thank you father for seeing the beauty inside-(Old Man breaks his neck) Never forget that classic moment.

Well, when the lipsync is bad, you have to remember this was originally made in a foreign country, so they'd be lipsyncing for the language it was originally released in. ENGLISH.

I love how Phelan watches so much gore and horror, yet these terrible animated films are the ones that illicit reactions of terror

The "you must like having money instead of not" bit makes me hurt myself laughing every time 😂😂😂

Okay, so who's worse? "Beauty can die in my place" Old Man, or "Pimping out my daughter to her cousin" Broken Neck Dad?

At least this movie gave a REASON why Beast was mad about the rose.

I'm surprised that Beast wasn't into Princess Leia cosplay, considering the fact that he looks like a giant Ewok.

This is the version I accidentally grew up with! My grandma bought it for me instead of the Disney film. Even when I was a little kid I knew something was a little off.

Dingo Pictures: Where is the plot? Golden Films: Why would they do that? Bevanfield: DO SOMETHING!!

Good God, the proportions and the perspective on the character designs are absolutely ATROCIOUS!

31:54 It's funny you mentioned this, because in the original tale Beauty's sisters are turned into statues at the end and forced to watch Beauty live happily ever after. Fun stuff!

Beauty & The Beast? More Like "Passable looking girl & the Scuzzlebutt"

I think if Phelous watched the Disney Beauty and the Beast after watching around 10 million terrible rip-off versions his head would explode from quality overload.

New Phelous review? For a bad animated movie? With that ugly guy who was used in the previous Beauty and the Beast reviews?! Oh, Phelous, you never let us down!

If Dingo ever does Beauty and the Beast, they are probably just going to put cape on King "My God!". Although I can just imagine Wabuu as the beast.

What's really baffling to me is how nice much of the background art is. Dingo's backgrounds look like they have been drawn by drunk primary school kids from special ed class, but Bevanfield, in contrast, apparently employs a background artist who has more talent and better skills than everybody else working on this combined. It just stresses how shit the character design and how jerky the animation is.

...So let's recap: The Beast looks much more like a tame and groomed Scottish terrier than the more ragged and ferocious incarnations He sounds like a young Stephen Fry recording in a bathhouse He wears NOTHING but a gaudy purple cape that he drapes around himself or holds like a security blanket in some scenes He makes a confused face when introduced to Beauty and her sisters He stays away from Beauty until the last minute He plays piano He doesn't care when Beauty leaves the castle Nearly every scene he either looks like he's posing for a nude magazine or he's straight-up presenting ...I think the Beast is in denial... Also, how dare they rip-off Disney's Beauty and the Beast remake by featuring an openly gay character before Disney even conceived the idea?!

"Since when are looks important?" said the girl who moments ago declared that she didn't want to get married unless a "handsome prince came by".

An evil clock, an evil bush and an evil lamp. Sounds like a cool road movie.

There is something you might have not noticed. They keep switching back and fourth with not only styles and how the actors should sound like with their characters. But with how many fingers they have through out the entire movie, and not just the one scene with Beauty's 3 finger witch hand.

Its almost 2024 and im still rewatching these.

Anybody else notice the awkward ways they covered up the Beast's crotch? Guess he's never heard of pants.

The thing about British actors over a certain age is that they have this work ethic where they _have_ to take whatever job they are offered, no matter how awful. But yeah, Bevanfield's "movies" seem like some kind of tax fraud scheme.

Am I the only one who has misheard the clock declaring: "Guilty. Guilty. Guilty"?

There's been multiple animated adaptations of Count of Monte Cristo, I think phelous should take a look at them, because a story about murder and revenge is such good material for a kids' movie

I always got the impression that Dingo Pictures was really a group of friends who made movies at home with everything they have. Their movies are awful, but they probably had fun making them, so I don't usually trash them very much. Bevanfield may not be any good either, but if they can get big name actors to voice their characters, they can certainly hire better people to work on their movies. I still cannot get myself to say they are worse than Golden Films, though.

Gotta love how even if the movie is extremely bad, Christopher Lee always does his best while everyone else half ass their work.

ok i actually screamed when the shining twins appeared

It also features Susan Sheridan from Disney's "The Black Cauldron", this might be the first Disney mockbuster to actually have someone who worked for Disney associated with it haha!

How fitting that he uploaded this on the day the Beauty and the Beast Live-action remake hit theatres.

"most rodents are cute" THANK YOU PHELOUS

32:24 You know the balance of the universe is at stake when something can creep out the Blood Bush

Honestly, I think Beavenfield might be worse than Dingo. Dingo at least seems like they're on a real small budget and had a voiced narrator. Not to mention they seemed to of dubbed the movies with their own cast, despite English not being their first language. Beavenfield doesn't really have the excuse of a bad budget if they managed to get the decently sized cast that they had for this film. Not to mention the random cuts and having text on the screen describe what happened(At least Dingo would have some stock footage and a narrator. Beavenfield clearly had the scenes animated, but they forgot to voice anything for some reason.) Hell, I'd say Dingo films are more fun to watch then this flick. Dingo's movies are just so hilariously incompetent, tone deft, and stupid you can't help but laugh. This film just seemed like such a dull, slow drag that manages to feel way worse than any of the previous Beauty and the Beast knockoffs. Also, that frog that kept popping up is gonna be a reoccurring thing in their movies, isn't it?

35:18: This animation of the leading character riding a horse makes Dingo pictures look more dignified with how they portray their characters.

As weird as it sounds, marriages between cousins were something absolutely normal still back in early XX century...

I lost it when the Blood Bush came back.

You saved the best for last! Funny enough, I was at the checkout and saw a woman buying the Good times Beauty and the Beast today. HHHHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

🎵 Tale as old as that maaaaaaan Throw him on the fiiiiiiya 🎵

This is like the 4th time I watch this review. I love it! X,D

What's honestly rather weird to me about the Bevanfield version (and the anime version with Maria, too), at least in comparison to the other versions that Phelous has reviewed so far, is that Beauty and her sisters have a much more functional and healthy relationship here. All the dysfunction seems to come from DuBleurgh and his insistence on trying to force Beauty to marry his cousin. And here I thought that Old Man was the worst Beauty's Father character (not counting his comedic value being off the charts.) Granted, it's gross that Lucinda and Prunella are actually _into_ getting it on with Renart in place of Beauty, but at least the sisters otherwise have a better family dynamic than all the ones that paint the extra siblings as the ugly stepsisters 2: Electric Boogaloo. I think it's actually a bit more interesting to me to see the siblings getting along better than the title character and her father. Remember, kiddies. Incest is not wincest.

And now we know where ugly son comes from, we can all die happily - except seriously Christopher Lee was in this?! Now I have an even bigger mystery in my head!

Bevanfield, the cartoon equivalent of tryptophan makes you kinda wish Dingo Pictures made their own Beauty & the Beast cause at least their movies don't put you to sleep! Still, at least it gave us Moisuer Rodent for Old Man to repeatedly perform his Neck Snap Fatality upon!

I have an idea for a parody of the story called "beast and the beauty" where the roles are reversed and it's beautiful yet cursed women who must find love to break her curse and the beast is a kind guy who's kind actions are what counts and not his appearance. You can pretty much get it from there, with the beast being held captive in the beauty's castle.

So many frogs ? Bevanfield tries to convince us the action takes place somewhere in europe, but i cant point it out.

32:09 - Whoa......the one time you would expect her to actually HAVE bedhead, her hair is flawless.

Vincent: Heaven? This place looks like Heaven to you? Mr. Renard *gasp*

i can't believe this video already five years old. time sure flies when you're laughing your ass off at Phelous videos. Also, i love how the characters shift between having four and five fingers throughout the movie. it's quite amusing.

To be fair......Marriage between cousins to that degree of consanguinity were actually quite common to keep the family fortunes intact.

I loved the "THREE FINGERED" Reference to your Wrong turn reviews haha

Not just Christopher Lee and Kate O'Mara, I actually recognise the majority of these names as fairly well known actors .... I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

32:12 OMG! that creepy clock "Beauty, give me your soul" line was hilarious. XD

hey phelan, you probably won't see this but I just wanted to say thanks. I was 13 when I first saw your Mac and me review (I watched it when it was brand new) and I've watched you basically constantly since then. I remember so many times where I would have a shitty day at school and I'd come home and watch you. I'd always be cheered up watching you make fun of some awful horror movie while eating peanut butter. I feel like we've grown up together even tho you don't know me. I was worried when you left CA how you would fair on RU-vid. because it's harder to get your content noticed. but you're doing really well and I feel stupid for even doubting you. sorry for the long sappy ass comment. I love you, bud. good luck

Good God what is this? Were the animators high while making this? They should have called this movie "Filler and the Beast". Also, the frogs are behind everything.

Fun fact, Michael Horden (who voiced Beauty's dad) voiced Gandalf in the BBC Radio adaptation of Lord of the RIngs

Oh fucking shit, Old Man has started to travel through time. Will he meet Paige and Alladin and together cause even more shit in the world?

How sad is it that it's THIS movie that gives a reason why the Beast wants to kill someone over picking a rose...?

The most distracting thing about the animation in this film is how _sometimes_ the characters have four fingers, but other times they have three and they resemble claws. That first scene with Lee talking with his brother has multiple characters flip-flop between four fingers and three claws.

Bee Movie 2: Beauty and the Bee Years after the events of the first movie, Vanessa Bloom decides to confess her love for Barry. Barry accepts, having held in similar feelings for her. Despite a bee and human marriage being unorthodox, the priest is willing to try something new. Ken is invited to attend, but he is still baffled that his fiance wanted to get together with a bee and sad about being rejected. The rest of the movie focuses on Ken's crippling depression. He ponders the meaning of life and questions why yogurt nights are as difficult as they are. Two bees, named Christopher Bee and Bee Bradley Baker, acting as the comic relief, try to help him, but they keep reminding him of Barry B Benson. As the movie progresses, he develops more and more of a hatred of bees and finds that he cannot escape bees no matter where he goes. The movie ends with Ken hanging himself to ascend to heaven, where he can finally be rid of bees in his life. The movie then cuts to an after credits scene of all the characters doing the Whip/Ney Ney dance. Rated PG

I've never heard of Beavanfield here in the UK. Shows how good they are.

"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?" This movie's tag line.

20:02 Beauty is trying to compete with Princess la la la from Puss and Boots. So who won, Phelous?

Spent 3 minutes laughing uncontrollably after "I'll BREAK YOU, YA LITTLE SON OF A BITCH!" *crack* Your review animations give this movie a run for it's very little money.

This movie probably needed a Wabuu.

We were doing a ‘mock’ maths exam in class on Tuesday and all I could think of the whole time was Old Man’s “HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

"What is the matter with you, Monsieur Merde ?" I don't know why I didn't expect this joke but, good one 👌

16:03 I find it utterly hilarious how when Dubois was being threatened, he just keeps pointing to his broach and he’s like “you mean this?” Totally normal reaction to being robbed XDDD

I love how he ends up calling the ugly guy "Mr. Shit" the rest of the movie it's great

33:30 I'll give this adaptation one thing. It did give Beast a reason to be overly protective of his roses.

I still can't believe this was made in 1992. The choppy animation and dull colors make me think of late 70s/early 80s.

never thought I’d hear Christopher Lee tell someone they looked like a broken baguette, but here we are...

While he`s no Old Man, Ol`Du Bois is a pretty solid take on Beauty`s dad with his own shtick of being a disturbed weirdo who wants to force his daughter into an incest marriage puerly for the lolz and doesn`t care about monetary gain. He`s kinda like The Joker of Beauty`s fathers, money doesn't matter to him, getting his sick kicks is all the payment he needs. XD

13:07 “I’m in no rush to get married, dad. Unless I meet a handsome prince, I’ll marry him in a heartbeat.” Now there’s a character with strong convictions who looks beyond the superficial.

Deer are ridiculously fond of eating rosebushes. Imagine a small herd of deer trashing the rose garden...

@22:34-22:41 Pretty much what Emma Watson's singing sounds like in "Beauty and the Beast" xD

Quick, Beauty; run outside and kill the rose bush before it elopes with the blood bush

so this is like the "I can't believe it's not Dingo"

jeez how many of these bad Beauty and the Beast movie adaptations did these people make?!

Beauty's outfit looks 20th century. Actually, none of the dresses are right. And sometimes they have 4 finger (3 and a thumb) and sometimes they have 5.

What the heck is with the hands in this movie? They keep shifting to absurd sizes and characters seem to have a retractable finger!

I really wish Dingo Pictures DID make an adaption of Beauty And The Beast. I want to see their version of Beauty's Father and have him do battle with Old Man.

I actually kinda like Judge-Dad's voice. It's just a nice old-man tone, I swear I recognize it.

This is solid proof that Christopher Lee never gave a bad performance. In every movie he was in, he tried his best to work with what he had. He made bad films watchable and good films even better. What a legend. RIP.

This beast is overpowered; he can warp his arms between astral planes so only his arm appears to choke a man

Erbody jumping on the BatB band wagon but Phelous has already done this, twice even. And it was beautiful! What? Another? Really?? Let's do this.

Going from portraying King Lear on stage and narrating a Stanley Kubrick film to this sad sack of an adaptation, I can see why Hordern didn't give two shits in his performance. At least Christopher Lee somewhat tried to provide one aspect of this movie something that's remotely tolerable.

To make matters worse, “Renard” is the French word for fox. So the villain’s names in English are Mr. Rodent and Mr. Fox. ...screw you movie! Foxes are cute.

Quality is something that Bevanfield Pictures never understands. It looks and acts like Dingo Pictures.

Can we somehow convince Phelous to review the really CREEPY Beauty and the Beast episode of Faerie Tale Theatre?

I can’t get over the fact that Christopher lee gave so much of a damn in this movie of all things to actually use a French accent and even go through the effort to change up his voice so he actually sounds like a character and not just Christopher Lee reading lines. It’s actually kinda sad that even in this shit of a movie he gave more of a damn than some voice actors in huge box office films

At least, the Beast of Bevanfield & Beast of Golden Films have found kindred spirits in one another & both can complain about Beauties' fathers stealing their valuable roses!

0:16 "Sweet, we've recorded the whole song!" "Should we start mixing it now?" "Nah, just throw a delay on it. Make sure it's a really loud and obtrusive delay so that people will know we were trying."

The recurring frog motif in the Beast's castle makes me wonder if those backgrounds were originally from an aborted adaptation of The Wind in the Willows.
