Beauty and The Beast REACTION - This movie has some incredible music! 

My favorite bit of trivia from this movie is that the three blonde girls dressed as a traffic light are canonically called The Bimbettes

The only animated movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. And then they created a “best animation” category, so this is the only film that will ever have that honor.

The scene where the Beast turns back into a human is gorgeous. It always makes me emotional. The music and the visuals...the animators said they modeled it on Michelangelo.

I've watched this movie about a thousand times, and the bit that still gets me teary eyed is in the credits, the dedication to Howard Ashman "who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul"

If you look closely, Belle and the Beast are the only characters who wear the color blue, subtly showing us that they belong together. In the beginning the Beast as well as Gaston are both wearing red but as the Beast changes he goes from red to purple and then blue by the ballroom scene. Nice bit if color psychology on Disney’s part. This movie for me is right up there with The Lion King.

Probably the best reimagining of a fairy tale there is. People like to nitpick this like it's real life. They also want everything explained. Enchanted which means not everything is as it seems. Everything about this movie is perfection. 😊

The asylum keeper with the amazing voice is the voice of Judge Claude Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in my opinion the best Disney villain, and yes, his singing voice is even creepier! Edit: I wrote this before you mentioned you'd seen it before, though I disagree about the music in this being better. It's amazing and both are Alan Menken but overall ibprefer Hunchback.

“That must be all the Goosebumps books” sent me 😂😂

This was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. My aunt took me, and apparently I was the quietest kid in the theater and when it ended, I stood up and yelled "again!" lol. Great reaction to an iconic movie! ❤

24:35 I was dying at your Goosebumps comment😂 I loved that series when I was younger.

They dont explicitly say so, but the background is that Prince Adam was around 11-13 when he was cursed. The surrounding community was cursed to forget he was their prince, and the forest overgrew when no one traveled there for almost a decade. He probably lost his parents young and was never told no, so pretty standard lonely, rich brat behavior, really.

The kid was home alone, and like 11 years old when he was cursed. Put yourself in his shoes

Funny you mentioned Hellfire because the man from the asylum IS FROLLO! That voice is incredible.

24:32 "That must be all of the Goosebumps books" HAHAHA

Okay, I was 11 when this came out, but I was already a huge fan of the story because of a TV series of a modern telling of the story. Ron Perlman played Beast and hid in the sewers while the modern-day version of Belle was a detective. It was late 80s/ early 90s gold! Look it up when you get the chance ❤

Richard White who does the voice of Gaston is an operatic trained baritone singer.

One does have to love Tony Jay's voice. I wonder if you recognized him as Frollo from Hunchback? "Take him to the vet" 😅

My favorite Disney princess movie of them all. I love the story, the animation and the music. My favorite song, I would have to say is a tie between "Be Our Guest", "Human Again", "Something There", and "Beauty And The Beast". Also, Beast is technically what's known as a chimera in Greek mythology. He's got different animal features mixed into one character: The head and horns of a bison, the brow of a gorilla, the tusks of a wild boar, the body and front legs of a bear, and the hind legs and tail of a wolf.

Great reaction! "Beauty and the Beast" is one of those "lightning in a bottle" movies where the best possible creative team and artists came together to create something truly special. It throws back to classic Disney fairy tales but throws in a few twists. The handsome man everyone views as the town hero is the ultimate villain, while the hideous beast has a heart of gold who proves he not only wants love but is deserving of that love in return. I could go on and on about the soundtrack, the animation, the characters, and the story which are executed to perfection. If you enjoyed this, I highly recommend the live action remake as it expands the story with additional songs, moments, and backstory that gives further background to these characters. Great reaction and glad you enjoyed it! :)

LOL "that must be all of the goosebumps books" ... you're great

R.I.P. Angela Lansbury, you provided us the best Mrs. Potts

For me one of the best movies of the Disney renaissance along with the Lion King...Well, it is a very interesting and beautiful love story. The reason people initially thought Belle was weird was because she read the movie is set in the 1700s in France in a small provincial town ,and there we can see people following an aligned and normative lifestyle to what is a small town at that time so if someone was different from that lifestyle or norm they were seen as strange or odd.. At the beginning of the movie we can see that Belle is an intellectual Beautiful young girl who knows to read and is very compassionate, gentle and kind the townspeople think that she is a bit strange since she goes beyond the social norms of what a woman would be expected to be in those times, especially from a small Provincial town, ("We can see how the townspeople say she's nothing like the rest of us she's different from the rest of us") alluding to what i just said that's why belle sings about of her life in the town and that she wants to find and live another experience beyond the town. She knows that people talk and make assumptions about her personality, but she is not indifferent to it. and rather she copes with it very differently than the rest of the Disney princesses where the tradition of the princess in trouble who needs to be rescued is broken. Although we saw that at the beginning with Ariel in the little mermaid where they made a different approach to her character where she still has the qualities of the other older princesses but also of the current ones. This movie came out in 1992. which her character was already quite ahead of her time .

I didnt realize till i was older that the prince was cursed when he was 11.

"He's gonna -- die in a horse accident -- freeze to death -- be mauled by wolves -- be saved by the Beast -- "

The portrait in the West Wing is enchanted to age with the Beast, for him to see what kind of human he would be if he hadn't been turned into a Beast.

We're in French land, y'all ! Classic Disney. One of the best.

The music for the beauty and beast song hit a deep memory for me. When you got time for another TV series watch Once Upon a Time if you haven't seen it already

The intro music always gives me shivers

At the time, it was a surprise to everyone that Robby Benson was the voice of the Beast.

I was only a few months old when this came out, born in April 1991!

as much as beauty and the beast is my all time favorite, the bells of notre dame is the best song

3:53 Good thing they specified his 21st *year,* because if they said "21st birthday", then tough $h!t if his birthday is the 29th of February.

The Beast, by the time we come into the story, has been a beast for 10 years (which means that when he met the enchantress, he was only 11). They tell you in the lyrics to "Be Our Guest"--"It's been 10 years since we've had anybody here AND WE'RE OBSSESSED!" Edit: got to the point in the reaction that you deduced that yourself. Yes you are correct!

Love this film the message it tells is so beautiful, that true beauty can come from within. Also you mentioned A little Princess, I can’t find that reaction

If i remember correctly, this was the first movie made into a Broadway play. The original Australian cast starred a young Hugh Jackman as Gaston. There are videos of him performing the song "Gaston" that are very entertaining.

Am I the only one who thinks Belle sounds like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz?

3:46 - He has been a beast for 10 years, yup that trifling goddess was going around tricking 10 (almost 11) year olds

A lot of people hate on the live action version with Emma Watson mainly because of her yellow dress but I don’t think people realize that dresses like that in person are very heavy. Not only are they big dresses, but when you start adding the jewels to them especially if they’re real jewels…..the dress is gonna be heavy and not practical to move and dance in. Emma was aware of that and sacrificed looking extravagant for being comfortable. Some people hated it, I personally loved it because she looked beautiful and I understand why she made that choice.

Yaayyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy you watched this one and that you really enjoyed it! This is one of my favorites! I’ll also be dressing up as Belle for Halloween this year! 👏😊

Madness i tell you- madness 😊

Have you seen Sleeping Beauty? As far as classic animation and music, it’s the best!

I definitely would choose this over Shaun of the Dead :) It was my absolute favorite movie as a kid

27:32 I've always loved how Beast touches Belle's face and hair gently in the movie. Plus I love how her falling hair is animated here. More touches at 32:37, 32:59 and 33:05 🤍

My family and I are going to watch Beauty and The Beast on Broadway in Maryland next year!!! I’m so excited to watch this on Broadway

definitely check out the live action

The more I see the character Gaston, the more I see that there’s way to many men today with Gaston’s ego. It’s strange isn’t it that it’s seen as being a dick as a character and yet most act just like him in the real world. Yikes. Then I think of what happens to Gaston in the movie and ponder… hmmm…..?!

Lol, the trauma from hearing PAPA after The Little Princess is 100% relatable 😢

25:45 then look up the scene from the live action with Emma. It’s hilarious

Keep it in your pants Gaston , lmfao 😂😂😂😂

of course i watched them both brother 🤣❤️

Always a favorite! I Thought they did decent with the live action one too! to my surprise.

Even when I was a little girl, it always made more sense to me that Gaston should have married one of the three ladies who liked him. But I guess they weren't pretty enough.

One of my favorite Disney Classics

I LOVED that film when I was a kid for the same reason your wife did (does) - bookworm. My nan read the book to me as well and I had the cassette (sic!) She's different because this takes plays in a time when hardly anyone was able to read, definitely not your average townfolk and absolutely no women. The live action film expands on that a little more. I actually DID like the live action film, even though I was expected to be majorly disappointed, but as someone who knows this film so inside out that it annoyed my parents bc I played it for months on end, it was incredibly true to the original. And like the Lion King, the visuals on this, especially considering the year? absolutely incredible!

It said to be an old fairy tale from France this story. Disney films are built on fairy tales and books so maybe get the books and read as Belle does is a good advice. Many other big films is built on books written with blood, sweat and tears.

14:04 - possibly (probably?) you were just joking; but as someone who tends to take things literally- uh, no, this was nothing to do with getting away from Gaston. This was about saving her dad.

Anyone know what the beast was prince of? His castle was way too small to be a prince of all France. And how did he have so many servants? When he and the servants were human, there’s no way his castle was big enough to hold all those people

I love this movie! My favorite childhood movie!

Well, I don't think I'd call this the original. Jean Cocteau, anyone?

This is always will be a classic!The remake is one of the better remakes though, imo. The original soundtrack stands far above the remake but they give a respectable effort music wise.

If you do Shaun Of The Day, you absolutely HAVE to do Hot Fuzz. It’s the best of the Cornetto Trilogy, IMO

The reason why Beast couldn't rescue Morese was because the filmmakers had to make sure they weren't promoting Stockholm syndrome

Secretly Meatloaf?!😂😂😂

The live action one is good but the only thing is that Emma’s voice isn’t very Disney princess sounding

14:27 omg you gotta watch Josh Gad and Luke Evans sing the live action version of this song. He is way better and it’s super good. You should also watch the evermore song from the live action 2017 one(or just watch live action-it’s underrated for the year it was made)

Would love you to do The Princess Diaries! I’m a massive Beauty and the Beast fan and have all the original Funko Pops and the big ceramic Mrs Potts teapot and Chip tea cup from EB - So only slightly obsessed as much like your Missus I’m a bookworm 😂 I’d love to see your opinion of the live action with Emma Watson as comparison.

Gastonism is based.

I'm curious to see your reactions to the remakes. Beauty and the Beast is one of the ones I liked. I like that they added another song for the Beast in it too! Fun seeing your reaction to this though!! Glad you had fun with this one

Isn't there a theory that everyone but Belle and Gaston are under a spell so the rest of the town think shes weird. i could be wrong but i could of sworn that was the theory anyways.

Guessing your favorite is gaston

Gaston, you could have any (probably all) of the three buxom blondes, but no, go for Belle.

You should watch the live action version

It's typical of older movies and animated movies to have the wrong accents.

33:45 there is better explanation on his bratty personality in the live action

I love this, it’s amazing to see grown ass adults watching this movie for the first time or the second time in their lives and giving a genuine reaction. I love it.❤❤❤❤❤ The remake is trash - I love Emma Watson, but the remake of the beauty and the beast was just laughable- it’s got a cool song in it from the Broadway show but that’s the only redeeming part about this movie in my opinion. There’s nothing charming about it at all.

🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞

Watch the live action it's great for a remake one of the better remakes
