In the original fairy tale, the Beast was EXACTLY like this. Zero character development; endless marriage proposals.Disney definitely made a positive step by editing that out.
We should really give thanks *every day* for the creative minds that were working at Disney in 1990. Not only is this terrible character motivation, but it's BORING AS HELL.
@@OliverRaj I've been reading old fairy tales lately and the majority of all the characters in a story are pretty dull and flat. The most interesting thing about the stories are all the crazy things that happen _to_ the characters, and the tasks they often have to accomplish.
@@stephaniewozny3852 You're right. I wonder if it's the kind of thing where the truly interesting part of such stories came with the charisma of the storyteller. "It's all in the execution".
Even if it's not a perfect adaptation, I think the voiceactress for Beauty is spot on. Her voice is so soft and gentle, it really fits a character who's meant to be kind and loving. For that, this movie gets a big plus from me.
I like to imagine there's one version where the Beast has long ago resigned himself to his fate and his whole performance with the Merchant is him being sarcastic/playing a prank because he's genuinely pissed about the roses. And is then horrified when the Merchant turns up a few days later like "here's my daughter, she'll be taking my place".
Ooh, a fantastic take you've got there! The closest I've seen to that being done is through the French-German 2014 live-action version. The Beast *does* ask the merchant whom he stole the rose for, but after being told it was for Belle, he merely states that he will allow the merchant to go home and say good-bye to his family before he is to return for his punishment. Admirably, the merchant snaps that he'll never come back, and as a result, the Beast threatens that he must do so or he will hunt down & destroy his family, promising to save Belle, his obvious favorite, for last. So yeah, no requested daughter exchange. Belle goes in her father's place on her own terms (to which her family tries to stop her from doing), and though the Beast attempts to charm her after she arrives, she obviously wasn't expected so he doesn't handle it very well. He has lingering hope that she might break the spell, but at the same time, he tries to keep her from loving him naturally due to a tragic backstory that steadily gets revealed.
Maybe we could expand upon this. Maybe Beauty was *also* being sarcastic when she suggested her father bring her back a rose in the middle of winter, and her father's just really bad at recognizing sarcasm.
To this movie's credit, at least Beauty went to the castle against her father's wishes, giving her _some_ kind of agency. Albeit short-lived agency, since she never tries to search for the prince who she thinks the Beast has imprisoned, and waits a whole year to ask to see her family.
Oh honey, he hasn't even reviewed the English-dubbed Russian film featuring Tim Curry as the Beast yet, so trust me, there's still *plenty* more to choose from. 😎😉 (Granted, it's technically not a bootleg, it was part of a limited series shown on PBS, but you know what I mean).
@@MoonPhantom Idk whether or not you saw my previous reply, but there IS an English dub of it with Tim Curry voicing the Beast (who I honestly prefer because he gives the Beast a better sense of personality and emotional depth). You're right though, it's quite good overall, but it's not without some silliness. Particularly the fact that he dies from Nastenka/Anastasia not returning the same day she left (and according to Wikipedia, like GoodTimes, it was due to loneliness).
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose Yeah. That one is strange. But there are a lot of things in it I really like which you don't see anywhere else. I like that the father do NOT just give up his daughter to the beast. She's the one who sneaks in and steals the magic ring taking her fathers place and her father is all like. "Nooooo!" I like that this is a one of the kind unique magic flower, not a common rose, making the beasts fury much more understandable... You oddly enough only see that in the Disney movie. I like that there is a true empathize of the emptiness and loneliness of the beasts castle making us sympathise with him way more and we see he doesn't really keep Beauty there to break his curse, he doesn't even seem to know that's possible. But only because... Living in complete isolation like that for god knows how long is its own torture. I took a lot of inspiration from this movie in particular when writing my own Beauty and the beast story. That and funny enough... Dark Shadows. I liked the idea of the Prince's mistress becoming furious when he rejects her and THAT'S where the curse is from. And then SHE becomes the overall villain, even in afterlife keeping him in what is essential a cage with a "If I can't have him, no one can." mentality. So yeah, that's how I managed to make a villain who wasn't our traditional Gaston character in a beauty and the beast story. But actually the person who cast the curse in the first place and is now a supernatural ghost who just wont get away and whisper things to him when she deems he is being led astray.
That ending scene really does come across as the Beast pretending to die so that way Beauty would finally say yes to marrying him. It wasn't as blatant in the other Beauty and the Beast ones as it is here.
Yeah, thank god the Disney version actually added and removed things to make the story more likable. the evil siblings were thankfully replaced with Gaston (its very odd that out of everyone in Beauty's family, she's the only one that isn't greedy) and the Beast dying in a fight rather than from lonliness or grief (or in the bevanfield version, dying because he got guests that aren't Beauty).
@@Dekomata The other nice thing about the Disney one is that fight. Sure, you could argue that the story didn't NEED a villain, but Gaston is a great antagonist. When Gaston goes to fight the Beast, he takes advantage of how miserable and vulnerable he is. Beast is just clutching his rose, knowing his time is running out to undo the spell, but he doesn't try to fight back once. He's given up. But when he sees Belle come back to the castle, it gives him the will to fight back. So Belle coming back does save the Beast from dying. Just like the original story, but done in a more subtle way.
The “nice guy” mentality is strong in this one. “Come on, marry me. My mirror brushes your hair for you AND I didn’t even murder your father that one time.” Good grief.
"Ignore the fact that I imprisoned you in my castle, attacked your brothers, and haven't even attempted to empathize or form any meaningful relationship with you."
@@SaiOkami777 well to be fair, Bell basically shoved his ass to the ground when he asked for a marriage, which this girl should probably do to this “nice beast”
"doyoulovemebeautydoyoulovemebeautydoyoulovemebeautydoyoulovemebeautydoyoulovemebeautydoyoulovemebeauty" "Yes! Fine! I love you! Just shut the HELL up!!!" That whole segment killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The only positive thing I can think of is the character design isn't bad (for the most part). I think Beauty's design is kinda solid, and all the clothes actually match the time period. Hell, even the castle has some nice backgrounds, you know, if you ignore the mirror hall.
"Simp" gets thrown around a lot, but dang, this Beast is a real Simp for Beauty. "Maybe if I show my commitment by asking her the same question every day, she'll start to like me!"
After the house being struck by lightning and that *"You cannot escape my anger!"* line, I declared that this is now my favorite Beauty and the beast adaptation.
You'd think that there'd be more adaptations besides Disney's where they would at LEAST change the original story to the point Beauty and Beast developed their relationship before popping the question. I mean, I get it, the original fairy tale took place back when ultra-impulsive marriages were common, but still.
yeah...I mean the most popular version the Madame Le Prince de Boumont one, or the Charles Perrault one were like 17th and 18th century. And in one of them, I belive the Boumont one the Beast wasn't asking Beauty to marry. She already was his fiance, when she arrived. because he asked her father to give her to him as a bride. Which like...makes sense for tale written or collected in 1600 and 1700's. I mean marriage being a business deal or political matter and being done by father or brothers with the groom was a standard. Also it wasn't like women at the time, especially women born to wealth had many other options THAN marrying well. Anyhow what Beast WAS asking of Beauty was to sleep with him, and that's what she's been refusing. Now, the adaptations are in most part directed at kids so obv this version is out of the question...and like nowadays it would be even creepier. But, again 17th and 18th century readers would probably find Beast leaving his lawful bride alone and sleeping in different chambers and considering her wants, pretty progressive and kind of him. Plus, Beauty and her family were bunkrupt while Beast was rich and living in a castle, so of noble birth. So he was willing to marry a girl whose father couldn't provide a dowry for her. On the contrary HE was the one giving the father riches. So he was even ADDING expenses to what already was a mesaliance.
Well, there’s one thing this adaptation has in common with Bevanfield’s: the Beast looks an awful lot like Chewbacca in both versions, though this one looks much less doofy. At least he’s not an elephant this time.
@@thejman5683 Eh, Mega Man was crappy. It wasn't great but for a show based on the game, it's one of the more faithful ones that pretty much had to work with what the first five games said with some changes.
@@dnmstarsi TBH I only heard Mixed things about it, I used to be an avid Megaman fan around 2009. (Don't Ask) And I later found out about Megaman's...... lesser good stuff, Mainly the Rube Spears cartoon and................................ Captain N, (I'm still kind of embarrassed that I first heard of Castlevania because of that show)
I don’t know what more impressive, the fact that a lot of these Beauty and The Beast knockoffs always starts the conflict with “flower thievery” or how each Beauty and Beast character has a unique issue that you take advantage of with the jokes.
I thought the house getting struck by lightening a second time was really happening and was like "Damn, Beauty really brings everyone bad luck. Send her to the Beast already."
“Why are you so unkind to me?” I’m not so sure, maybe holding her against her will and threatening to kill her father isn’t really helping your situation
@@BloodrealmX Yes I know, but the case still stands, given that the art style is pretty similar to that of Scooby Doo and other cartoons like it, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine the Mystery Gang suddenly appearing out of nowhere in this "movie".
It always ruins the impact of Beauty's sacrifice when her going to the Beast in her father's place is a condition that _the Beast comes up with._ It's not even necessary; If he's gonna let the father go back to his family and tell them what's up anyway, the movie should just do something like this: Beast: "You stole from me, so now I must kill you/make you my prisoner!" Beauty's Father: "Please at least let me go back and say goodbye to my children!" Beast: "Fine, but you must return in a week, or I will hunt you down!" Then the father tells his kids what's up, Beauty insists on seeing her father off, and then when they get to the Beast's castle, she pleads with him, of her own accord, to take her instead. There, see? Simplest thing in the world, it gives Beauty some agency, AND makes her come off as genuinely selfless instead of making her father look like a complete tool who would trade his daughter's life to save his own.
The best part about Phelous’s million Beauty and the Beast reviews is that each one is a reminder that the source material holds up about as well as wet cardboard. Sure, each version he’s covered fails in its own ways, but there’s a reason why he brings up the same glaring plot issues in each one. Hell, this one added to that by reminding me that the fairy is a bit of a dick, too. Kidnapping the Beast’s mother in this version, cursing the staff just for being associated with him in the Disney version...I’d list more examples, but I’ve lost track of which lesser version is which. Point is, while her inner ugliness point sort of stands, the fairy is arguably a greater menace to society than the Beast ever would be.
Worse than you think really. In many of the videos by Phelous, it's not even just the various Beasts or even the Ghosts from the Golden Films version. Clara in the Good Times version shows up to remind Beauty of the loneliness meter and chides her for not checking in with the guy who threatened her father for a minor offense. Or the Bevanfield one where Clara's counterpart greets the father but doesn't think to tell him that rose picking is punishable by death. Either idiocy, planning to set up the Beast with Beauty (or both). So it's like Beauty even before her father entered the equation is responsible for the Prince's wellbeing already. Likely cause of the older times when women were suppose to only be there to support their father or lover.
The overview of the details on the releases (distributing companies, cover closeups, logo differences, video quality comparisons, and other bits of historical commentary) are some of my favorite parts of these reviews! I love learning about that stuff and your remarks are both informative and entertaining. Thank you for bringing us this extra bit of context to the reviews!
Slight correction I say in the video Ruby-Spears did the old Pac-Man cartoon but that was Hanna-Barbera. It aired in a block with the Rubik, the Amazing Cube show by Ruby-Spears which is what messed me up on that.
SIRO: "I'm ready to be in the Phelous review of Mortal Kombat 2021. :::sees the Beauty and the Beast beta max tape and angrily crumples paper:: THAT'S IT!"
The original version of the story actually does point out that Beauty's request is unreasonable given that it's winter. Not sure if that was supposed to be a sign of anything.
i mean, to it’s credit, at least this Beast’s first entrance isn’t some awkward attempted growl / roar or an echoey voice to make it sound “intimidating.” Bevanfield, i’m looking at you.
At this point, I'm genuinely starting to forget the "Old Man" character was originally from a Beauty & The Beast adaptation. I guess I must be completely useless now.
Finally one with pretty character design/animation (compared to others) and isn't a cash in! I love how Phelous finds versions I've never heard of, in a way it saves them from being forgotten!
It's a little odd how so many of these Beasts follow a very similar template (brown fur, prominent fangs), but ultimately only one ended up awakening millions of furries.
"Darling daughter, will you ever return?" *lightning strikes the house* "DUH-OOOH!" I had to pick myself up off the floor after that one, took me by surprised and I loved it XD
I'm far more interested in these little known adaptations, especially pre-disney, to see how people did it before disney showed up to consume the market of ideas on how fairy tales should be done.
It'd be cool to get a version where Beauty's father refuses to bring her to Beast's castle so the Beast kills him. Then Beauty hunts down her father's murderer.
Phelous, I feel, like I don't say enough how much I appreciate the background information and the facts about companies, technology and lore. It's honestly so satisfying how much you out into these, you deserve more recognition.
Yep. It helps make tearing these pieces of shit apart all the more enjoyable when he's able to find out what the hell happened behind the scenes. As well as point out the various people we've heard in the past and present doing these shitty movies because they need money understandably.
"Well...ACTUALLY!" Alan Young was not the original, he was actually the 3rd Scrooge behind Dallas McKennon for a 1960 record and Bill Thompson (Droopy Dog and Mr.Smee from Disney's Peter Pan) was the 2nd Scrooge in the educational short "Scrooge McDuck and Money." Though Alan IS the more iconic voice for Scrooge, that's hard to argue against.
I could see him as one of the best underrated YT reviewers. He manages to make the dead-pan deliveries work while doing the silly voices and even making a couple of them surprisingly popular.
@@dnmstarsi While Phelous is easily among my favorites, I don't know if being prominent enough a figure to warrant having a check mark next to your name lets you qualify for "underrated" status.
2:05 - I like to think that was just Beauty's brain short-circuiting from hearing the Beast's marriage proposal. "But you can call me Scrooge McFuck!" *PFFFFFFFFT* I almost died laughing at that. I think it's the way Phelous said that line.
I think this Beauty and the Beast spend the most time together out of evert adaptation I've seen and yet they have the least chemistry possible, remarkable
Honestly, you're not too far off there. After all, there exists not one, but THREE versions of Russia's BATB take, The Scarlet Flower. Their animated film from the 50's, a live-action version they made in the 70's, and an English dub of said animated film from the 90's featuring Tim Curry as the Beast. 😅
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose there’s also a modern day adaption of the Story “Beastly”. And in the movie version of that book the “beast” is literally just a punk teen with a shaved head and tattoos.
@@brandonlyon730 Ugh I know, don't remind me. I thought it was alright as a kid, but as an adult with a renewed love of the fairytale, it's just embarrassing. Especially when you take into account the fact that in the book it was based on, Kyle actually DID turn into man-imal.
Ruby Spears made the 1988 Superman cartoon which was only a year before the 89 Batman movie, which helped lead the way for Batman the Animated series. Imagine if Ruby Spears had made the DCAU.
phelous joking about how the old man trespassing and eating the beast's food is ok but stealing a rose is not is like an infinite well of jokes to make rivalled only by the adaptation's own "old man" jokes and the loneliness meter. I don't think even the old black and white french version is gonna be safe in the future.
I couldn’t wait for Phelous to review this one. I actually enjoyed this version for some reason. I even joked that the Scooby-Doo gang would’ve figured out that the beast and the prince were the same person by the halfway point 😆. But I think it’s cute...although the beast’s backstory sounds familiar...🤔

Beast trying to get Beauty to love him: "I've tried nothing, and I'm all out of ideas"
Just when you thought that we were out of Bootleg Beauty and the Beast... Phelous always finds a way.
Oh honey, he hasn't even reviewed the English-dubbed Russian film featuring Tim Curry as the Beast yet, so trust me, there's still *plenty* more to choose from. 😎😉
(Granted, it's technically not a bootleg, it was part of a limited series shown on PBS, but you know what I mean).
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose wait....Tim Curry did one of these??? THAT I gotta see!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I honestly wonder if he will go over the russian one.... maybe not one because that one is actually... Good.
@@MoonPhantom Idk whether or not you saw my previous reply, but there IS an English dub of it with Tim Curry voicing the Beast (who I honestly prefer because he gives the Beast a better sense of personality and emotional depth). You're right though, it's quite good overall, but it's not without some silliness. Particularly the fact that he dies from Nastenka/Anastasia not returning the same day she left (and according to Wikipedia, like GoodTimes, it was due to loneliness).
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose Yeah. That one is strange.
But there are a lot of things in it I really like which you don't see anywhere else.
I like that the father do NOT just give up his daughter to the beast. She's the one who sneaks in and steals the magic ring taking her fathers place and her father is all like. "Nooooo!"
I like that this is a one of the kind unique magic flower, not a common rose, making the beasts fury much more understandable... You oddly enough only see that in the Disney movie.
I like that there is a true empathize of the emptiness and loneliness of the beasts castle making us sympathise with him way more and we see he doesn't really keep Beauty there to break his curse, he doesn't even seem to know that's possible. But only because... Living in complete isolation like that for god knows how long is its own torture.
I took a lot of inspiration from this movie in particular when writing my own Beauty and the beast story.
That and funny enough... Dark Shadows. I liked the idea of the Prince's mistress becoming furious when he rejects her and THAT'S where the curse is from. And then SHE becomes the overall villain, even in afterlife keeping him in what is essential a cage with a "If I can't have him, no one can." mentality.
So yeah, that's how I managed to make a villain who wasn't our traditional Gaston character in a beauty and the beast story. But actually the person who cast the curse in the first place and is now a supernatural ghost who just wont get away and whisper things to him when she deems he is being led astray.
That ending scene really does come across as the Beast pretending to die so that way Beauty would finally say yes to marrying him. It wasn't as blatant in the other Beauty and the Beast ones as it is here.
Yeah, thank god the Disney version actually added and removed things to make the story more likable. the evil siblings were thankfully replaced with Gaston (its very odd that out of everyone in Beauty's family, she's the only one that isn't greedy) and the Beast dying in a fight rather than from lonliness or grief (or in the bevanfield version, dying because he got guests that aren't Beauty).
@@Dekomata The other nice thing about the Disney one is that fight. Sure, you could argue that the story didn't NEED a villain, but Gaston is a great antagonist. When Gaston goes to fight the Beast, he takes advantage of how miserable and vulnerable he is. Beast is just clutching his rose, knowing his time is running out to undo the spell, but he doesn't try to fight back once. He's given up. But when he sees Belle come back to the castle, it gives him the will to fight back. So Belle coming back does save the Beast from dying. Just like the original story, but done in a more subtle way.
The house getting struck by lightning is so perfectly timed that it almost feels like it's meant to be as funny as it unintentionally is. 😂
Yeah on one hand I feel bad for laughing but omg😂

@@brunobucciaratiswife alright mate?
Hey I found ur comment for once lol
It's funny how neither Beauty or Old Man ever acknowledge that her siblings are usually assholes in these adaptations.
The “nice guy” mentality is strong in this one. “Come on, marry me. My mirror brushes your hair for you AND I didn’t even murder your father that one time.” Good grief.
He would do that even more if he opened a door for her
"Ignore the fact that I imprisoned you in my castle, attacked your brothers, and haven't even attempted to empathize or form any meaningful relationship with you."

And that's how Skynet happened, kids...

Now Beauty, I'm not saying the Beast is the Prince. I'm just saying you never see the Beast and the Prince in the same room at the same time.
The only positive thing I can think of is the character design isn't bad (for the most part). I think Beauty's design is kinda solid, and all the clothes actually match the time period. Hell, even the castle has some nice backgrounds, you know, if you ignore the mirror hall.
I like how it seems to set in the 16th century, at least that is what it seems at a cursory glance at their attire.
"Simp" gets thrown around a lot, but dang, this Beast is a real Simp for Beauty. "Maybe if I show my commitment by asking her the same question every day, she'll start to like me!"
More so an incel.
After the house being struck by lightning and that *"You cannot escape my anger!"* line, I declared that this is now my favorite Beauty and the beast adaptation.
Actually...I'm pretty winded...so I guess you've escaped my anger
@@hopemueller2658 I love that line so much 🤣🤣
You'd think that there'd be more adaptations besides Disney's where they would at LEAST change the original story to the point Beauty and Beast developed their relationship before popping the question.
I mean, I get it, the original fairy tale took place back when ultra-impulsive marriages were common, but still.
Yeah, the story hasn't aged well.
yeah...I mean the most popular version the Madame Le Prince de Boumont one, or the Charles Perrault one were like 17th and 18th century. And in one of them, I belive the Boumont one the Beast wasn't asking Beauty to marry. She already was his fiance, when she arrived. because he asked her father to give her to him as a bride. Which like...makes sense for tale written or collected in 1600 and 1700's. I mean marriage being a business deal or political matter and being done by father or brothers with the groom was a standard. Also it wasn't like women at the time, especially women born to wealth had many other options THAN marrying well. Anyhow what Beast WAS asking of Beauty was to sleep with him, and that's what she's been refusing. Now, the adaptations are in most part directed at kids so obv this version is out of the question...and like nowadays it would be even creepier. But, again 17th and 18th century readers would probably find Beast leaving his lawful bride alone and sleeping in different chambers and considering her wants, pretty progressive and kind of him. Plus, Beauty and her family were bunkrupt while Beast was rich and living in a castle, so of noble birth. So he was willing to marry a girl whose father couldn't provide a dowry for her. On the contrary HE was the one giving the father riches. So he was even ADDING expenses to what already was a mesaliance.
Well, there’s one thing this adaptation has in common with Bevanfield’s: the Beast looks an awful lot like Chewbacca in both versions, though this one looks much less doofy. At least he’s not an elephant this time.
Or a Goomba Warthog.
Fun Fact: Ruby Spears is responsible for the animated sequence in Child's Play.

@@thejman5683 Eh, Mega Man was crappy. It wasn't great but for a show based on the game, it's one of the more faithful ones that pretty much had to work with what the first five games said with some changes.

No wonder Disney's beauty and the beast is considered the definitive version.
The competition is shit.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Jean Cockatoo is a reference to Jean Cocteau, the director of the 1946 French version of Beauty and the Beast.
Woah, thats amazing!
Beauty and the Beast must be Phelan's favorite fairy-tale.
Along with Aladdin, favorite novel the Huncback, and favorite BIO Anastasia
Indeed
@@ClaudetteVioletta Don't you mean All-Adin?
Now, now we all know that his favorite fairy tale is Wabuu.
Beauty and the Beast is actually how I found Phelous in the first place. Every time he finds a new one, it's like some kind of nostalgia for me.
I don’t know what more impressive, the fact that a lot of these Beauty and The Beast knockoffs always starts the conflict with “flower thievery” or how each Beauty and Beast character has a unique issue that you take advantage of with the jokes.
I thought the house getting struck by lightening a second time was really happening and was like "Damn, Beauty really brings everyone bad luck. Send her to the Beast already."
I wouldn't, if I were that Old Man and had Old Man-morality; I mean, there's a lot of potential for insurance fraud, here...
And let him get struck by lightning as well.
“Why are you so unkind to me?”
I’m not so sure, maybe holding her against her will and threatening to kill her father isn’t really helping your situation
Given that this was made by Ruby-Spears, I keep half expecting Scooby and the gang to show up and bust the Beast.
Even though Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created it, Scooby-Doo is Hanna-Barbera, not Ruby-Spears. Ruby-Spears wasn't founded until 8 years later.
@@BloodrealmX Yes I know, but the case still stands, given that the art style is pretty similar to that of Scooby Doo and other cartoons like it, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine the Mystery Gang suddenly appearing out of nowhere in this "movie".
Pull off what turns out to be a Beast mask, I guess...
@@markiangooley It's the prince this whole time! He would've gotten Beauty to marry him if it weren't for those meddling kids.
@@brianlevine871 and their dog.
It always ruins the impact of Beauty's sacrifice when her going to the Beast in her father's place is a condition that _the Beast comes up with._ It's not even necessary; If he's gonna let the father go back to his family and tell them what's up anyway, the movie should just do something like this:
Beast: "You stole from me, so now I must kill you/make you my prisoner!"
Beauty's Father: "Please at least let me go back and say goodbye to my children!"
Beast: "Fine, but you must return in a week, or I will hunt you down!"
Then the father tells his kids what's up, Beauty insists on seeing her father off, and then when they get to the Beast's castle, she pleads with him, of her own accord, to take her instead. There, see? Simplest thing in the world, it gives Beauty some agency, AND makes her come off as genuinely selfless instead of making her father look like a complete tool who would trade his daughter's life to save his own.
To be fair, that was his stipulation in the Disney movie.
The best part about Phelous’s million Beauty and the Beast reviews is that each one is a reminder that the source material holds up about as well as wet cardboard. Sure, each version he’s covered fails in its own ways, but there’s a reason why he brings up the same glaring plot issues in each one.
Hell, this one added to that by reminding me that the fairy is a bit of a dick, too. Kidnapping the Beast’s mother in this version, cursing the staff just for being associated with him in the Disney version...I’d list more examples, but I’ve lost track of which lesser version is which. Point is, while her inner ugliness point sort of stands, the fairy is arguably a greater menace to society than the Beast ever would be.
Worse than you think really. In many of the videos by Phelous, it's not even just the various Beasts or even the Ghosts from the Golden Films version. Clara in the Good Times version shows up to remind Beauty of the loneliness meter and chides her for not checking in with the guy who threatened her father for a minor offense.
Or the Bevanfield one where Clara's counterpart greets the father but doesn't think to tell him that rose picking is punishable by death. Either idiocy, planning to set up the Beast with Beauty (or both).
So it's like Beauty even before her father entered the equation is responsible for the Prince's wellbeing already. Likely cause of the older times when women were suppose to only be there to support their father or lover.
The overview of the details on the releases (distributing companies, cover closeups, logo differences, video quality comparisons, and other bits of historical commentary) are some of my favorite parts of these reviews! I love learning about that stuff and your remarks are both informative and entertaining. Thank you for bringing us this extra bit of context to the reviews!
Eventually, we expect Phelous to review the "Beauty and the Beast" tv show, starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Pearlman.
How the F*ck is America's caveman Vincent?!
I’m amazed that Allison hasn’t yet! Linda Hamilton really did look beautiful in it. Flawed but fun show.
Definitely a joint Allison-Phelan review would be worthwhile…
Another Beauty and the Beast adaptation!? Golly gosh! My word!
Slight correction I say in the video Ruby-Spears did the old Pac-Man cartoon but that was Hanna-Barbera. It aired in a block with the Rubik, the Amazing Cube show by Ruby-Spears which is what messed me up on that.
Ruby-Spears DID do a video game based cartoon however, Saturday Supercade, which had cartoons based off multiple games.
Well like, Ruby and Spears worked for Hanna-Barbera, right? So close enough.
To be fair the animation style of Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears are quite similar, so it's not hard to make that mistake.
@@BagOfMagicFood Yup. In fact, they were the original creators of Scooby Doo!
In think another online critic said Ruby-Spears might as well be called “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Hanna Barbara”
I never knew I needed a Beauty and the Beast story with Judy Jetson and Chewbacca. That and maybe Scrooge McDuck as a cockatoo.
No one did but Phelous found a way to give us this gift.

The original version of the story actually does point out that Beauty's request is unreasonable given that it's winter. Not sure if that was supposed to be a sign of anything.
