Beauty and the Beast | Voice Actors | Behind the Scenes | Side By Side Comparison 

This was so wonderful to watch. I got especially watching Jerry Orbach. Jerry was a good family friend.. he was our neighbor and he was so incredibly kind. I remember when I was 6, Shrek came out and my parents didn’t have time to take me to see it. I was really sad and Jerry said he had it on tape, since he had to review it for an awards ceremony, so he and his wife had me over just to see it and I was so happy. He was such a thoughtful, caring, and fun person. We eventually moved to another part of the city and Jerry passed a way a few years later.. The most heartwarming thing to see now is that they renamed the street where our apartment was, where he lived, “Jerry Orbach Way” ❤️

Okay... tell us we're not the only ones who bawled like babies... Cogsworth, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts....thank you all for the memeories🙏🏽🥰

Fun fact: after being restored to his human form Lumiere went on to have a career as a highly-regarded police detective.

I didn't expect to literally burst into tears when Angela Lansbury started singing Beauty and the Beast! OMG. We are sooooo lucky to have grown up with her, Paige, Jerry, David, Robby and Richard! Thank You so much to all of them!

Love Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Angela Lansbury. Three Legends. Rest in peace 🙏🏽 ❤🌹🕯🕰🫖

All it took was hearing Angela Lansbury's voice and I couldn't stop crying. It was like hearing a voice from a long lost grandmother.

Rest In Peace Angela you will always be our Mrs.Potts❤️

This is why the animated one will always reign supreme! The voice actors were more expressive than the live action actors!

Oh my goodness Angela Landsbury singing live was absolutely beautiful! 😭 😭 👏🏻

RIP Jerry Orbach RIP David Ogden Stiers RIP Dame Angela Lansbury RIP Rex Everhart RIP Mary Kay Bergman RIP Hal Smith RIP Howard Ashman RIP Tony Jay Tq 4 the memories....

If it wasn't possible for live-action Gaston to be equally as handsome as his animated counterpart, Richard White performing the song live just made that possible. Seriously it's like he was born to voice that character.

Angela Lansbury was a great choice to speak for Mrs. Potts. It's a shame we lost her earlier this year.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how drop dead gorgeous Paige O'Hara was (and still is). Just like her animated counterpart, Belle. A beauty playing a beauty, just like in true Disney Princess fashion. 🌹

Everyone in the comments is talking about Angela Lansbury - I understand why, her passing was a sad day - but I broke into tears seeing footage of Howard Ashman with Paige O'Hara. He was the lyricist for this movie, "The Little Mermaid," and for some of the songs in "Aladdin." He never got to see "Beauty and the Beast" in its final form because he died at age 40 of AIDS months before the movie's release, but if not for him, this movie wouldn't be as amazing as it is. Mister Ashman left the world way too soon. Rest in Peace, Howard Ashman. Thank you for giving a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul.

Whoever was in charge of casting did a phenomenal job. From Paige O’Hara to Angela Lansbury, and literally everyone else - absolute perfection.

"Winter turns to spring. Famine turns to feast. Nature points the way. Nothing left to say. Beauty and the Beast." RIP Angela Lansbury

R.I.P Angela Lansbury ( 1925-2022) We will never forget you. And your Amazing acting and singing. 😢

Funnily enough, the first time I saw Jerry Orbach was on an episode of Murder She Wrote. I loved him instantly as a beleaguered detective, and wasn't at all surprised when he became one of the most beloved characters on Law & Order. But then I love all three of the departed Beauty and the Beast actors, and remember them fondly for their television careers.

Angela Lansbury is a wonderful woman of the highest class. Bedknobs and broomsticks was my favorite movie as a kid. Murder, she wrote is one of televisions best shows. Beauty and the Beast is a family classic for all times.

This beautiful film was my childhood. I watched it so much, I ruined the VHS tape. It will always be my favorite film. I’ve watched it so much, I’ve memorized the whole film word for word. Thank you Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, and David Ogden Stiers for the wonderful memories. May you all rest peacefully in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Got goosebumps when Angela joined in for be our guest. I absolutely loved that lady and so sad she’s gone. One of my favorite movies❤

Lovely to see Howard Ashman at the start too. "The man who gave a mermaid a voice and Beast his soul"

Man, Richard White does not get enough attention. What a fantastic voice.

I didn’t expect to tear up while listening to Angela sing the title song 😭 This movie was my absolute favorite growing up, though I haven’t watched it in full in years 😄 Was surprised that I’d remembered enough to still sing along to most of the songs here 🥺😊♥️

Thank you Jerry Orbach, Angela Lansbury and David Ogden Stiers for making my childhood magical! You will be dearly missed! I am crying!!!! 😢❤

3:30 "Papa... do *you* think I'm odd?' "YUP" 🤣 but also... WOW these are some true legends!!! eSPECially Dame Angela - she is a QUEEN and will be sorely missed ❤❤

her "goodnight" at the end just broke my heart...

In memoriam, Howard Ashman, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers and Angela Lansburry. 💖💖💖

Thank for the Loving Memory of those 3 wonderful actors. R.I.P.

I cried when I watched the animated version. I cried when I watched the live action version. I cried when I watched this video. I wish there was some way I could tell all these lovely people (even Gaston) what an impact they made on my life. ❤

That "Good night, Love." voice makes me cry again... so beautiful.

Dame Angela Lansbury. *chef's kiss* 😚🤌🏻

Belle: "But there's something in him that I simply didnt see" 🎶 Beast: "Stupid." Lol!

I was smiling when Jerry Orbach was singing Be Our Guest and chills and tears when Angela Lansbury was singing Beauty and the Beast. Damn this is still my favourite Disney movie!

My eyes started watering up at "Tale as Old as Time". That's my favorite song in the movie ❤

Damn, Thomas. You perfectly captured the Disney I thought I'd lost forever. I can't thank you enough. Years of opera and singing and improv and acting classes only to enter a world that no longer exists, it broke my heart. This helps heal it.

That last part made me emotional 🥹

The actor that played the candlestick I was so used to seeing him as a detective on Law an Order that I was shocked to find out he was the voice of the candlestick.

OMG...Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury...such a treat to see them both!

i love how much paige loved singing for belle. you can tell she still paints her to this day

Never knew about Jerry Orbach! What a multi-talented man! Unbelievable!

Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury made be cry like a baby! I've always loved them. Thankyou for the memories

I love Angela Lansbury more than words can tell. Also, I have seen Paige O'Hara in a couple of Broadway shows and she's great! And Orbach...no words.

Paige O'Hara's voice is gorgeous.

my favorite of all Disney films. its engraved in my head for the rest of my life. Rest In Peace Jerry, David, Angela, & Rex 💜💜💜💜

RIP Mrs Potts Cogsworth Lumiere thank you for Beauty and the Beast job well done you all will be greatly missed

I recently moved to a village (3K) which French is primary language, then English... and I couldn't stop remembering the beginning of this song😂

I am so glad that I found this. I didn’t know the father in dirty dancing plays the candlestick, and I couldn’t believe that Robbie Benson plays the beast. Great work to all of these people. It’s one of my favorite Disney movies.

I had no idea that was Jerry Orbach! As a Law and Order fan, that's just amazing to find out. Can't believe he was that talented. In a recording studio is one thing, but he did it live very well too!

Thank you for putting this together. Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, and David Ogden Stiers may you all rest in peace; I enjoyed your gifts that you shared.

Casting Jerry Orbach - how did that come about? Who was the genius who thought, yes, this hard-boiled character actor is perfect to play the candlestick. Beyond perfect!

My favorite interpretation of my most beloved fairy tale ♥️♥️♥️♥️

RIP Angela Lansbury

Angela Lansbury will always remain an iconic Mrs. Potts 🥰

RIP Angela Lansbury 1925-2022

Not to be inappropriate but GODDAMN!!! I knew the Beast’ VA just sounded hot & to see that clip of him doing the “GET OUT!” roar on GMA just made me swoon & thank little old 6 year old me for always saying Beauty & the Beast has ALWAYS been my fav Disney film.

I'm totally crying. I love this movie and adore the people who made it. Thank you for making this video.

6:58 you get to see a rare moment in the recording booth of Howard Ashman cracking up

One of my happiest memories going to opening weekend and watching this movie at the Disney theater on Hollywood Blvd. God bless you Angela, Jerry, David and Alan. We miss you and thank you.

We miss you Angela Lansbury 🫖 Jerry Orbach 🕯️ and David Ogden 🕰️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

I'm crying. Beautiful tribute. and

I love them so much😭 Watching the clip of Jerry and Angela singing Be Our Guest has always brought tears to my eyes. But now listening to Angela singing Beauty and the Beast does too❤❤❤❤❤ No matter how much my relationship with the Disney brand has changed over the last years, Disney's Beauty and the Beast remains one of my favorite movies of all times. And part of that is the vibrant and wonderful life all these incredible actors and performers breathed into these beautiful and charismatic characters. Such fantastic and authentic performances! Sadly, something that also makes this movie special for me is the amount of dear people gone that are part of this movie. Howard Ashman, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, and recently Angela Lansbury. I just can't thank you all enough for your fantastic work. You all live in my memory and in this beautiful movie. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Paige, Robbie, Richard, of course I love them too. Thank you.

RIP, Angela Lansbury! 💐

As I watched my eyes couldn't be without tears OMG, this is and always will be my FAVORITE MOVIE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's incredible when two different worlds, the real world and the cartoon world blend into harmony and its even better than the real world. That is what magic kingdom really mean to me.

Thankyou Angela Lansbury, thankyou for my childhood

Rest in heavenly peace, in loving memory of Angela Lansbury David Ogden Stiers and Jerry Orbach

Let's not forget all the backround singers and musicians! All of it working together beautifully

When I was 4 years old, Beauty and the Beast showed the Magic of Love, and I still feel it today, it brings my childhood back.

This movie came out when I was around 20 and I didn’t realize that it was kind of my life. Narcissistic Gastons are real. The silly girls who knock themselves out to be near the narcissistic Gastons are real. Belles are real. And believe it or not, even the miserable Beast in the miserable kingdom is real. Couldn’t break the spell, but hey. Belles have their intellectual gifts as well as their beauty and can go find adventure in the great wide somewhere. Rip to the extraordinary artists, and thank you-❤️

I can't believe I started to cry on the title song. It was sang by the best.

I’m a beauty and the beast fan and law and order fan, but didn’t know Jerry Orbach played Lumiere. He’s an amazing singer too!

I saw this in the theater when I was 10. I even remember what I was wearing. Back in the day when the acting came first. Love Jerry, Angela, and Davids voices. Magical and memorable.

One of my all time favourite movies

One of my all time favorite Disney movies. Such a classic. RIP🙏to🪦Angela Lansbury😢forever our Mrs. Potts. Such an icon in movies & TV with Beauty & the Beast, Bedknobs & Broomsticks & of course as Jessica Fletcher on Murder She Wrote. RIP also to Jerry Orbach aka Lumiere, David Ogden Steirs aka Cogsworth & Howard Ashman.

I love how you can hear when Paige O'Hara smiles as she sings. Angela Lansbury too. What an amazing cast. All of them. Who thought "Beast? Robby Benson of course. Oh and flirtatious French candlestick? Easy Jerry Orbach." Yet it's perfect casting.

RIP: Angela Lansbury, the one and only Mrs. Potts

I mean Gaston's voice gives me chills whenever I hear him since. His voice is just so manly, with so much bravado. Just so strong and powerful, I wish I could articulate the feeling better. The life action remake has nothing on him, his voice is so puny in comparison.

Angela lansbury what a legend, beauty and the beast Is one of all time favourite Disney movies, that song is just beautiful 😍 rip to all these legends who brought us these much loved characters ❤️

I still, to this day, tear up when I hear Angela Lansbury sing that song. Me, my mom, my grandmother and my sister went to the movie theatre to see this when it came out on Thanksgiving day. I’m the only one who is still alive. Hearing this song, and seeing this movie takes me back to a time in my childhood when everything was perfect. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I really miss them.

I teared up watching this. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,.. MY FAVORITE.. VOICES GONE TOO SOON!!

im sitting and crying...thank you for those memories....

11:27 May the Disney studio honor them

RIP to everyone's favorite candelabra, clock and teapot 😢

There's only one Mrs Potts ❤️

Oh no words, tears and smiles.

Beauty and the Beast is my personal favourite ❤️ when you feel you don‘t quite fit in … it‘s not you who doesn‘t fit, it’s the other people around you. There is always somebody and someplace where you belong 😊

I’m in tears. This has been my favorite Disney movie since I was 10 and now almost 40 it brings back so many beautiful memories.

Yeah I cried a lot too. I met Jerry Orbach. He was so nice and funny. Thank you for this work!

My All Time Favourite Disney Film.

Thanks for disclosing those hidden heroes and heroines! Their great voices have made this movies so fantastic!

Angela Lansberry as Mrs Potts singing Beauty and the Beast is m favorite childhood memory I remember the clearest I was I love with this damn movie as a child the dancing furniture and cutlery just drew me in

I'm a 38 year old and not embarrassed or ashamed to admit that I cried watching this. Especially when Angela Lansbury started singing. She was absolutely perfect for the voice of Ms. Pots. Angela Lansbury would have been Ms. Pots if Ms. Pots were real. Rest in peace Angela Lansbury.

I have always loved the story of Beauty and The Beast. Disney created this beautiful, classical film with magic!!!! I love all the characters, and the music. The actors who gave their voices to create these characters, will never be forgotten. I still tear up, when I hear Ms. Lansbury sing the theme song. Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach, and David Ogden Stiers are legends!!!! They are forever immortalized in this film. May they rest in peace.🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is awesome! 1st time seeing what "Gaston" looks like and he was born for the part! Thank you for posting it all side by side😊

Rest in peace Howard Ashman you made wonderful music I know that you are watching from heaven

Absolutely beautiful tribute 👏👏👏💙🥲

Robby is SO perfect. All the rest just as brilliant. And yes, crying too...💞💞💞

I love all three movies of Beauty and the beast from 90s💕💕

The trio is back together again, just in heaven
