Beauty and the Beast is the 30th animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures and in my opinion the best of all their movies.

Introduction
Disney's Beauty and the Beast is based on the classic french fairy tale La Belle et la Bête and it was relesed on November 22 in 1991.

The production started in 1988 and Linda Woolverton wrote the script, but in 1989 they scraped the script and started from scratch, a few months after that Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale joined the production team.

The changes to the script included adding a real villain that later became Gaston and to create the enchanted servents...

Beauty and the beast

posted by lilylove89

A wealthy merchant lived in a mansion with his three daughters, all of whom were very beautiful, but only the youngest, at fourteen, is named Belle (a French name equivalent to "Beauty") for being lovely and pure of heart; her sisters, in contrast, are wicked and selfish. The merchant eventually loses all of his wealth in a tempest at sea, and he and his daughters must therefore live in a small farmhouse and work for their living. After some years of this, the merchant hears that one of the trade ships he had sent off has arrived back in port, having escaped the destruction of its compatriots;...

If I Can't Love Her Lyrics

posted by s3ptamber

Beast:
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of kindness
And from my tortured shape
No comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless
As my dream dies
As the time flies
Love a lost illusion
Helpless
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion
No beauty could move me
No goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me
No lesson could teach me
How I could have love her and made her love me too
If I can't love her, then who?
Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward
No pain could be deeper
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her
No spirit could win me
No hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
But it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with me.

Animated Belle is Autistic in my Opinion

posted by TBUGoth

As an #ActuallyAutistic Gender Vague enby assigned Female At Birth Belle seems to fit MY "Female #Autism." She would rather read than talk to people aside from her father. Her fantasy world is all-consuming & adventure is her goal! The book she is reading at the beginning of the song is Jack and the Beanstalk which was one of my favorite fairy tales! The fact that Belle enjoys reading about a character of the opposite gender would be considered “Odd”. simply because Belle isn’t “Represented” though her longing for adventure is. Her adventure doesn’t just involve being kidnapped...

Beauty And The Beast Lyrics

posted by s3ptamber

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

My Top 10 Beauty and the Beast Characters By Takuya

posted by Takuya

Here is a list of my favorite characters from my favorite movie.

I will begin with number 10 and work my way upward to number 1 so i hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think.

Gaston

At 10th and last place is Gaston
Gaston never was a character that i whould concider a favorite, he starts out the movie as a overconfident jerk who can´t take no for an answer which i always found annoying.
Then when he learns of the beast in the castle he changes into a villain that is at least worth your time but his personality didn´t get any better just from that.

But now when i watch the...

If I Can't Love Her or Evermore?

posted by deedragongirl

Hello Beast!

Hi guys, since we heard the latter on Youtube, here are my opinion on both songs.

If I Can't Love Her

Since I got the Original Broadway Musical cast, I fell in love with this song. I was very disappointed that it was not going to make it into the film this year, because it plays an important role especially since it develops the beast's personality more.

Evermore

Okay, I heard Dan Steven's rendition for this year's movie, and I felt that it doesn't hold out as powerful and does not follow suit with If I Can't Love Her.
For strange reasons, it reminds me of Out There from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, especially the tempo and the lyrics itself.

Let The World Be Done With Me!

Ironically, these 2 songs are covered by Josh Groban, go ahead and listen to them, then you'll be the judge.

Toast to the Movie!

Beauty & the Beast DVD review

posted by LisaForde

BatB review

Ok so I was over the moon when I got the combo pack of this film yesterday and I was a bit worried that it mightn’t work but luckily they had the DVD along with the Blu Ray version in the pack so I decided to watch it earlier.

The story is about a young French maid named Belle who is a bookworm and a shy person as she seems like an odd person as she is the only one who loves to read books and using her imagination. The first song in the movie is called Belle and I absolutely loved this song as it reflects on who Belle is as a person. She is an only child and her father is an inventor who...

My List About Belle's Outfits.

posted by BraBrief

As you can infer, this is my personal rank about Belle's outfits, one of the best dressed Disney animated females, in my opinion.

See also my list about link.

The brown sequel cloak

8. Brownish-red Cloak

Movies: Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World

I know I can't expect so much from a sequel animation, but this cloak is awful. The color is too dark, I've never liked brown. Belle wears it with her blue dress and this is a really terrible combination. The hood also doesn't fit with her hair: brown hood with brown hair? Bad.

My favorite Belle's outfits Ranking

posted by Silverrose1991

Hello! This is my first article and I hope you enjoy it. It's my ranking of Belle's outfits. I know this has been done before and I warn you my choices can be quite previsible. This list includes five gowns (four from the original movie and one from The Enchanted Christmas) and two cloaks.

7. Blue peasant dress

"This is... nice" - Madame de la Grande Bouche (musical)

Yes, it is. I like the shade of blue used and the neckline, but it is very plain. I prefer it with the apron, because it brings more variety in the coloring of the lower half.

6. Christmas gown

Again, it has nice coloring and...

Beauty and the Nerd

posted by twilight_23

For my reading class at school, we had to adapt a script for a fairy tale and film it. My group did Beauty and the Beast, but we thought it would be fun to change it up a little. So now here is our script to what we call "Beauty and the Nerd."

Once upon a time, there was a hot jock. He was selfish and unkind to those below him so he and all his teammates were put under a powerful spell.
The hot jock turned into a nerd. He would only change back to a jock if he found a person that loved him not just for his looks but his personality.

In a nearby school district, lived a beautiful young 8th grader....

Me! Lyrics

posted by s3ptamber

Gaston:
You've been dreaming, just one dream
Nearly all your life
Hoping, scheming, just one theme:
Will you be a wife?
Will you be some he-man's property?
Good news! That he-man's me!
This equation, girl plus man
Doesn't help just you
On occasion, women can
Have their uses too
Mainly to extend the fam'ly tree
Pumpkin, extend with me!
Gaston:
We'll be raising sons galore
Belle:
Inconceivable!
Gaston:
Each built six foot four!
Belle:
Unbelievable!
Gaston:
Each stuffed with ev'ry Gaston gene!
Belle:
I'm not hearing this!
Gaston:
You'll be keeping house with pride!
Belle:
Just incredible!
Gaston:
Oh so gratified
Belle:
So unweddable!...

Should Disney Introduce Gaston's Sister?

posted by deedragongirl

Gaston's vain sister!!!

Hi guys, I am not really sure whether or not Disney should introduce Gaston's sister if they make a sequel to the 1991 classic.

A Sexy Gaston's Sister!

Of course, we all love to see a beautiful and sexy but vengeful sister that goes by the name as Glinda or Gale! Her character will be very vengeful as mentioned, thinking that both Belle and Prince Adam killed her brother. Especially the latter! Until she decides to redeem herself in the end, forgiving the couple and finally accepting that he died of a freak accident.

Not Again!

Okay, if they include her, the story will be a repetition of the first story. Especially if her character is a vengeful out to kill Prince Adam!

A Sexy Villain or Not?

Do you want to see Gaston's sexy sister in a possible sequel?

No one has a sexy sister like Gaston!

Belle’s point of view of the Beast’s death.

posted by LisaForde

This is a fan fiction of Belle’s moment when the Beast dies.

Enjoy

‘At least I got to see you one last time’ said a dying Beast. Those were the last words that I heard from my dear friend Beast. ‘No please, please don’t leave me…………’I stopped as I was crying so bad. ‘I love you ‘I finally said as I loved the Beast so much and I blamed myself for his death as Gaston killed him, I wanted revenge but what was the point. Suddenly I saw fireworks coming out of nowhere. I saw the Beast rising from above the pavement and into the air. ‘What is going on’ I said to myself....

Gaston Lyrics

posted by s3ptamber

Gaston:
Who does she think she is?
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
LeFou:
Darn right.
Gaston:
No one says "no" to Gaston!
Dismissed! Rejected!
Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.
LeFou:
More beer?
Gaston:
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
LeFou:
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together.
Lefou:
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Ev'ry guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see...

Belle Lyrics

Belle:
Little town
It's a quiet village
Ev'ry day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say:

Townsfolk:

Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

Belle:
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town

Baker:
Good Morning, Belle!

Belle:
Good morning, Monsieur.

Baker:
And where are you off to?

Belle:
The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story
About a beanstalk and an ogre and a -
