- In this version wasn't the prince technically reasonable to reject the rose like maybe he was just like "No thanks I have a whole garden full of roses. Wait is that one of my roses"

I like how the dog got punished for not helping the prince as well
That dog could have done so much to stop the abuse
That dog is a selfish bitch.
it could have peed on the king's leg so many times. so many good pee jokes, gone unrealized. what a different movie this could have been.
Sorceress: You’re telling me that you SAW the prince being abused by his family and you did NOTHING????
Chip: Because I was over on the bench,,
chip has the backbone of a chocolate eclair -_-
So tell me, how does that make you any better than _the n a z i s?_
I understood that reference!!
"Chip, you're not a good person!"
"Err, not a good beverage vessel"
he was a small child. One of them was a freaking dog. *And they would have been executed. The sorceress just went on a temper tantrum*
They got rid of the best joke. When Cogsworth is showing Belle around the castle and says "if its not Baroque don't fix it !"
Ironic considering that the movie fixed alot of stuff everywhere regardless if it’s broke or not 😂 love the movie tho idk anyone who didn’t
I never realized that was a pun until seeing this comment.
Plus the way he chuckles at his own dad joke right afterward is so charming.
Good thing: in the French version all the villagers speak with a rural accent, but belle speaks with a parisien accent
Okay that's actually neat.
It'd be nice if instead of letting the servants say goodbye to each other as they turned into furniture, we just had a wide shot of the mansion in silence
Ooh, preferably, one where you sort of hear all the talking and gasps and general sounds of terrified realisation fade away but the camera is still so focused on Belle and her reactions that you don't notice, and it's not until she has a short pause in her sobs, presses her head against the Beast's chest, and opens her eyes a bit, looking back to the castle for comfort and sympathy, does the moment get absolutely quiet just so she and the audience realise no one is there anymore.
You're hired.
this gave me chills
@@aurora5481 why didn't you direct this shit wtf
@@aurora5481 holy shit 🤭💖
Weirdly, my biggest problem was that they went for the more historical, detailed, beautiful costumes, and then when we get to the big ballroom scene, Belle's dress just looked like a prom dress from Mariposa.
didn't emma watson go on about how she wanted something more practical or whatever for the dress? or was that just about the usual corset rant?
@@cthulhuhoops It was that she refused to wear a corset and I guess the costume designers couldn't figure out how to emulate that kind of structured look without one.
@@erraticonteusealso corsets aren’t inherently bad! A well fitted and laced corset shouldn’t hurt or cause damage! They can be damaging when used improperly or one of the types that are meant to shape your body to an extreme, but they can be perfectly safe. They’re basically bras and I feel Emma Watson watched too many movies where hating corsets was shorthand for wild free-thinking girl and pop feminism.
This was the thing that bugged me the most
@@cthulhuhoops that always drove me nuts. it's the 1700s. _corsets weren't invented yet._ most of people's misconceptions about corsets come from tightlacing, which was not only super uncommon but also _impossible to do_ using stays, the equivalent structural garment of the time, because they didn't have metal eyelets. emma bbg please do some googling next time
She served you a sandwich and left the burning hot tea for the end. DAMN. That was an epic takedown.
was waiting for her comment on the autotune and was sorely disappointed... but 15:55 had me _screaming_
Wait imagine if the twist was that belles mom was one of the servants, so maurice genuinely doesn't remember what happened to her, and we find out at the end. Wouldn't that be wild
That would have been so awesome
oh my goodness i would have loved that!
fuuuck that would be so good
I'm gay and I have to say that in my life at least three grand pianos have fallen on me.
What about electric keyboards?
Thats pretty gay
yeah, at first a couple pianos fall on you and you shrug it off, as if it happened to straight people too. but at some point (around piano number 3 or 4) you start to question it
Geek Owt Lowd as I bisexual I can confirm that instead of pianos we get electric keyboards falling on us all the time. I feel a bit bad for all the gay people being crushed by grand pianos when bi people have it much easier.
You're the best thing ever! Hehehehehehehehe
I remember that one time when I passed by a gay pride parade and all that was left was a bunch of corpses and broken pianos.
That’s why I don’t go to pride, never know when a piano might sneak up on you
I’m pretty sure that was the June Rebellion. corpses, pianos, lots of homosexuals... it checks out
@CogitoErgoCogitoSum Obvious bait is obvious
Ahh the piano float
And that’s why the homophobes want to pray the gay away
"Man I hate Chip!"
"Chip the six-year-old sure was complicit in the abuse of his prince."
"Chip you monster!"
Man I hate Navid
Navid the youtuber sure was complicit in the abuse of his prince.
Navid you monster.
I don't know you guys, but I love you both like brothers.
Navid Haider I loved chip
But I wonder: does Chip have a CHIP on his shoulder.
Chip was the REAL villain all along!
As a big gay myself I can confirm that ”are you a top or bottom” refers to which part of the piano you prefer hitting you first.
Yeah guess I'm a top. I prefer a clean even crush as opposed to being impaled by a piano leg
@@andrewb.8184 Ngl, that actually brings it around to being sorta like what those words actually mean.
This movie is making everyone go crazy
😂😂😂😂
Top, wanna hear those notes play as I'm being crushed to death.
Bottom
I love your dry sense of humor:
"It's almost like this was a big publicity stunt.
...I must've just missed it."
Omg, "equal opportunity mob". That killed me. xD
True feminism is lighting a woman’s torch as you ride off to kill a beast.
The GAY moment was at the end when everyone dancing. They do that thing where everyone switches partners, and Lefou sort of bumps into another man, and DANCES WITH HIM!! SUCH CONTROVERSY!! It's about a half-second of screen time, but it made me gay
Actually he bumps into the angry mob extra that was converted to the "good side" because he liked getting dressed up by the wardrobe in womens clothing...so that character is probably supposed to be transgender...in that case if they ended up together that would not make Lefou gay. Disney's grasp of sexuality...is...fuckit, who knows?
The problem with Lefou was not his gayness or whatever... it's the fact that they felt the need to make him a completely different character. Lefou was the idiot in the first one, and the only person more despicable and pathetic than Gaston. His name means "the fool" or "the idiot". But they made him sympathetic and smart because... he is gay I guess Also, Josh Gad is annoying except for in the movie 21.
Well he COULD be a cross dresser but not trans.
Besides back then (1800s) LeFou's dance partner couldn't transition anyway
I'm gay just from reading your comment.
When the movie addressed the old plot-hole about why no one had noticed that the prince of the land hadn't been seen for 10 years (part of the Enchantress' curse was that his subjects forgot about him,) I thought for a while that they were also going to address the fact that the Beast was a child when he was cursed, seeing as we hear about what a cruel jerk his father was, and, in the opening sequence, we see a boy running towards the prince and the Enchantress. I seriously thought there was going to be a bombshell reveal that it was actually the Beast's father who had offended the Enchantress, and his son had taken on the curse to save him, probably assuming that his father's love would lift it or something, until Father proved his jerkishness and the Beast became bitter and resentful.
But no, in this version the Beast just wasn't a child when he was cursed, and the whole asshole father angle was just something to make Belle pity him, because we all know that pity = love.
pity=love
Yeah, pretty much. I have never seen an actual "oh I pity you" moment that wasn't a lead-on to romance
That's a genius idea, tho. That would've been so cool.
Ooooo that would have been a good idea. They should have done that.
holy shit, that's actually a really good idea for a retelling
That’s a good idea!
I was just happy the beast was an adult when the curse happened because I always felt a bit weird that in the animators movie he’s depicted as a kid who refused to let a hag in.
Huh??? He’s a kid! Of course he’s not gonna let a stranger into him home. Screw manners, if you were a young prince and a ragged stranger approaches you, you shut the door!
I remember being miffed that the beast got cursed for that.
Wait that would actually be very interesting!!
Gaston wasn't traumatized by the war. He enjoyed it. Lefou was trying to make him remember the war in order to calm Gaston down.
That’s... terrifying
Lol thats funny
"where did i get this giant ballgown, gaston, hmm? where have i been for the past month? hmm?" had me rollinggg
I think the twist with Belle's mom thing was that Maurice essentially left her to die. That was the big secret that Maurice never wanted to talk about because he loved her but had to save their daughter from the disease. Maurice knows he did the right thing and the mom was totally cool with it too I guess because she was the one telling him to leave, but he just has a huge amount of guilt about it.
That was probably their intent but that's weird because Belle didn't even learn that - we the audience learned he left her behind, but from all the clues in the attic Belle could just tell it was plague
good: i liked the beast. it was cute when he talked books with Belle.
bad: the beast looked like they photoshopped an actor's face onto a lion.
Is that better or worse than a lion photoshopped onto an actor's face? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast_(2014_film)
Yeah, when every servant is uncanny valley level of horrifying, it's pretty underwhelming that the beast is just like, a hairy CGI dude.
I actually think the lion on an actors looks better
Yeah Dan Stevens is actually a great actor. It's just the CGI man....
Carlos I liked the way the servants looked even though they were pretty uncanny. But the Beast...no just no
Why did the beast never carry the furniture spouses to each other? The whole point of the story is that he's vain and selfish, not evil.
furniture is heavy, and he has a very busy schedule full of brooding
I mean, vain and selfish people tend to not spend a lot of time thinking about what other people might want, so I doubt it would've occurred to him independently to be like "Oh hey, my wardrobe and my harpsichord are married, I bet they miss each other. Maybe I should bring the wardrobe downstairs so she can be near her husband."
The only way he would've known to do that is if one of them directly asked him if he could please move them closer, and it makes sense that they wouldn't think to do that, what with him being their asshole boss and all.
Because a vain and selfish person would be too busy thinking about their own vain and selfish thoughts to think about what other people might want and feel.
Vain and selfish people are evil wym
ten year old me saying "kiss him" out loud in the theater during the gaston and beast fight scene in front of my mom, aunt, moms friend and two year old sister is my legacy
and what a fine legacy it is!
hahahaha thats adorable, .and hilarious
Icon behavior tbh. Main character moment 💀
that's so iconic wtf 💀
I didn't see the movie but I want to artificially inflate the stats of this video.
Agreed :) *inflate, inflate, inflate*
I don't even have a response to this.

enchantress: so you didn't stop the prince from being abused?
Chip, who's like eight: I didn't what now
I can listen to you talk about how red tomatoes are
How red tomatoes are what?
whoisbatman the degree of redness that tomatoes are.
Are you not familiar with the red tomato debate?
just googIed it, thanks dude
wtf? they are not red!
I didn't like the fact that during Gaston's song Lefu is paying the people to sing and it makes it seem as if the villagers do not really idolise Gaston the way they do in the cartoon and they lost the commentary on how people respect and love a bully for being a bully just to have a snarky joke about musical numbers in movies.
On the other hand I liked that the beast was not illiterate with no manners but just an asshole :U ...yet they kept that part where he eats the soup like a dog making everything they said before about him just nonsensical. it made sense in the cartoon because he was an illiterate beast with no manners ._.
Not to mention the fact that-
Why was the angry mob so quick to follow him if they didn’t already idolize him???
That little jab at the end got me like...
"Hermione can't sing. Hermione can't sing. Hermione cannot sing. She only reads books, and she cannot sing even if she's reading a "How to Sing" book..."
"is that a gay thing?" yes. we're constantly being crushed by large furniture. im typing this from beneath an armoire.
For some reason thay makes me think of an overexcited large puppy toppling people over -- which isn't really fair because most/all(?) of the furniture were people .... but still
You “gays” and your bi-erasure, only my legs have been stuck under a sofa for 4 years now BUT NO ONE HAS COME TO HELP. We’re part of the LGBTQ-family-stuck-under-furniture too.
Armoires: the gayest furniture
I love how you kept waving Ms. Potts around
Emma Watson just had the same bored expression the entire movie, even in the moments that were meant to be plot twists or important scenes.
I always wonder what role the direction and editing have to do with it. Kristen Stewart also gets shit for looking bored on screen, but presumably the directors know this and could draw out a livelier performance if they wanted to
Longfellow Kristen Stewart was like that because Bella is like that and it gave her a bad reputation. It's actually nothing on Kristen's acting. She's a fantastic actress in other films if her character actually has a personality to work with. And ones she doesn't have contempt for.
Watson, and this is a hill I will die on until she proves me wrong, cannot act. It's always obvious she's acting. Everything is exaggerated and disconnected with the scene or her expression or what just happened a few seconds ago. It all feels forced and fake. Even her supposedly natural laughter like in _Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix_ when talking to Harry and Ron about Cho sounded so forced.
@@aromaladyellie I agree about Kristen Stewart being a good actress when she's actually in a good movie and it being totally unfair for people to judge her based on Twillight of all things
I think Watson is a competent actress as well I wouldn't call her a great actress but I think she can be much better than she was in this film....I don't think anyone was giving an A-game performance here because let's be honest we all know this film was made as a cash grab/a way for Disney to hold onto IP rights and it really shows with how little effort was put into anything in this film
@@alicethompson6442 I always thought Emma was a decent actress, but she's not versatile. She grew up as Hermoine and she's just kind of stuck there now. A lot of actors hate being typecast but it looks like she's doing that to herself. 😅
I remember seeing an interview where Watson was talking about the Be Our Guest scene and how it was just her, looking at nothing. reacting to nothing. Being told it was all going to be CGI
She interacted with green screen and ping pong balls for most of the movie so I kind of don't blame her for being bored
Yes. Gay culture is getting crushed by a piano. All gays do it. It's a right of passage for us.
I remember my first time getting crushed by a piano. We were moving it to the gym for a band perfomance when I slipped and fell under. Actually realised I liked girls then
@@mme.veronica735 When it falls down on you and you realize it's not playing ''For Elise'', but ''For Elvis''.
You're not gay unless a piano has fallen on you and then you get up and all your teeth have been replaced by piano keys
it's like the witch trial by water thing! if the piano doesn't kill them, they're gay, if it does, they're straight!
Oh man I've been living a lie
"Oh yeah I forgot. Emma Watson can't sing."
*Sips tea out of Chip*
Bravo, bravo
Sips Dr Pepper* out of Chip
Basically all the castle staff go, "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."
This joke came too soon!
the hardest part of watching this movie for me was realizing how underwhelming Emma Watson is as a protagonist
Carlos Emma Watson is just bland in general I never understood the appeal. She seems like a sweet person but acting wise and looks wise she’s always underwhelmed me
Shan Shan (I'm so late but) omg I thought I was the only one. Everytime I point out her horrible acting skills, people look at me like they want to rip my head off. Watson seems so nice and smart in interviews, I just don't understand why she's still an actress
Ann Jay She’s still considered great mostly because she was in one of the greatest franchises: Harry Potter and also Perks of being a wallflower which many have fond memories of.
Ann Jay same!!
Everytime she sung I wanted to plug my ears. I have no attachment to her, so they should have just hired someone who could sing and act! Thought I was the only one
Good thing: I thought the scene when everybody is turning back into human form was much more effective because you finally saw what the people behind the voices really looked like and having little "oh, I didn't imagine them like that" moments mirrors the "don't judge a book by its cover" theme of the movie.
When I heard "adventure in the great wide somewhere", I just took it as she wanted something unlike what she had in her little town. She wanted a life like the stories she was reading. If that was the case, her living with the Beast more than qualified.
Still loved the video and your take makes sense too ^^
Le Fou's "gay" moment was at the end when he danced with the man that "came out of the closet" happy to be in a dress during the castle fight scene. I don't understand how that was progressive or a big deal for the gay community but there you go.
It was never meant to be a big deal. Stupid internet outrage made it into one. What happened is that Bill Condon briefly mentioned in one of the 100+ interviews he did for the movie that there would be a "gay moment" for LeFou. This was partly done as a tribute to Howard Ashman, who was gay and died of AIDS. Bigots then freaked out about Disney forcing "liberal propaganda" on them, and more clever bigots complained that they didn't mind gay characters, they were just annoyed that Disney made a big announcement about it -- which they never did.
Then came the progressive backlash because the movie didn't go far enough with its LGBT characters, wondering why Disney made such a big deal of something so underwhelming. Even though, again, they never made a big deal about it in the first place. It was one quote in an interview reported by the media that the internet freaked out about.
gokinsmen no man, they fished for the outrage as a publicity stunt.
they talked enough about the big gay moment that everyone thought it was going to be outrageous.
gokinsmen
I don't know if it's bigoted to be worried if you hear that a beloved movie's remake is supposed to have a ham-fisted moment added in it just for plublicity. Uniformed, sure. Overreaction, maybe. Bigoted? Nah.
Who is "they"? The only person who spoke about it unprompted was Bill Condon, and even that was in a gay-lifestyle magazine called "Attitude." Condon is openly gay, so it makes sense that they would want to interview him and ask about LGBT issues. The quote got picked up by larger media outlets and people freaked out. After that, it became a "big deal" and reporters started asking more about it.
Steve Zirngible it wasn't in your face and it didn't affect the plot AT ALL
Just the mental image of "Tim Burton's Winnie The Pooh, Johnny Depp is Eeyore" in the description made me almost choke to death laughing
helping jenny artificially inflate the stats
Same. Gotta game that algorithm.
It also makes me kinda sad that they built up the whole “belle is an inventor too” and “there is a cannon gay character” things. Like belle didn’t show any sort of inventing prowess besides making the laundry machine, and she gave her dad that one wrench he needed one time. Like I would’ve actually enjoyed seeing her be a more well rounded character, she is not only literate and loves stories, but she is extremely smart and can build things and learned from her dad. Also....Lafou isn’t gay. Like he dances with one guy at the very end of the film. Other than that he just kind of acts a little campy...I was very disappointed
Wow you nailed everything I didn't like about this "I guess it's fine" movie.
I honestly don't understand why script writers aren't just hiring jenny to judge everything throughout the creation process as a realistic editor
"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons. " Sums up villagers too.
M vH I did not expect a Blazing Saddles quote here. Good on you
Don’t get me started about the townspeople
"And they just pulled the rug out from under me. And they peed on it I guess"
A+ 10/10 Would Laugh Again
The scene where they all turned into furniture, they could have cut away from Belle crying to a bunch of still images of the furniture already lifeless, first from far away, then a few closeups of the main characters, and then cut back to Belle, and while all of this is happening, you can hear Belle’s crying through the whole castle
The 'Be our Guest' scene is probably the most spectacular magical performance anyone would have ever seen in their lives - and Belle just kinda looks mildly entertained the whole time... Like I know she's figured out that everything is enchanted, but I wouldn't have expected that the novelty would have worn off so quickly for a normal country girl... And bless all that tableware have probably been rehearsing for months-years! for this show of a lifetime... And thats the reaction they get? I'd be pretty pissed. Spat in her grey stuff mmmm its delicious... Loved the movie, Emma Watson as Belle left a little to be desired. Snowball in the face was the best scene.
Pretty gay here. Crushed by falling pianos all day.
Sorry that happens but you must be happy so many people are interested in learning piano.
Well, you have to cut the dog a break. He had been holding his pee for YEARS.
Thank you Jenny, for making me appreciate the original Disney cartoon version of Beauty And The Beast more. I definitely have no plans to watch the live action version, at all.
Lumiere saying "I don't feel so good Mr Clock" was excellent foreshadowing for Avengers
What I thought was weird was in the cartoon, people in the town thought she was strange but like they were fine with it. They weren't mean to her or anything. In this movie they despised her 😂😂😂
That was a pretty delicious sandwich. One thing I would add is the song "Evermore" (when Beast was singing). The emotion that went into the song and the scene when he was climbing the castle just to see Belle for what he believes will be his last time.
I don’t know- I think the written lyrics were good, but the song wasn’t sung very well by the voice actor-his voice isn’t that emotional or invested-sounding. And it wasn’t shot very well. The camerawork didn’t really carry the energy, it’s just slow shots of him walking at the same medium distance. The emotion felt like it had to be imagined by the viewer with the lyrics. Good song, not great execution.
I'm already dreading the Lion King remake.
Hello, I am from the future. Flee while you still can.
This aged well
Aged like wine
You like for us to comment because it artificially inflates the stats of the video?

*With grandiose, sweeping movements*
IF YOU LIKE IT THAT MUCH, IT'S YOURS!
One of my favorite moments was during the big fight at the end, when the wardrobe attacked a group of men and they were all made up and in dresses and one of them loved it and flounced off, I just thought it was such a cute lil moment like yes you go Glen Coco
I enjoyed the extra songs, and I liked the actor who played Gaston, he was perfectly over the top. I liked how the curse was handled, that the castle was being destroyed too and that they weren’t just gonna be living furniture forever, that they would turn into inanimate objects and the beast would become just a mindless animal. It added another layer of suspense and a bit more of a harsh deadline and definitely raised the stakes. I definitely cringed at Emma’s singing though. And all the points you made and Lindsay Ellis in her video.
"He didn't want her to live in the castle as a captive of The Beast. I don't know if that's OVER protective." LOL
Does this mean the dog was complicit in his abuse as well???
Like why did the dog turn into furniture
For me, translating the story from animation to (mostly) live action made it seem weirdly shrunken and impotent. Belle, Maurice, LeFou, and Gaston were all revealed to be kind of humdrum. And the Beast seemed more persnickety than ferocious. He was giving off a real Frasier Crane vibe to me.
The fully-human characters suffered the most in this respect, and "Gaston" was a perfect illustration. In the original, that whole tavern seems to come alive with music and motion and chaos. In the new one, it's just some people singing a song in a bar. Like if you were in the corner, nursing a beer or whatever, you might not even look up. "Oh, it's somebody's birthday or something," you might think.
i loved the old "gaston"!! i was weirdly attached to it for a while and i just enjoyed the chaos of it. and also i just need you to know that the "frasier crane" vibe you described is a little too accurate and made me completely lose my mind!!
OMG you nailed it.
tossed salad & scrambled eggs: a tale as old as time.
I hated the autotune on Emma Watson. Since the other actors sang just fine without it, especially performers like Josh Gad and Luke Evans (yes I know they are theatre trained) who don't need it, just made it all that more jarring to see that complete contrast of quality singing. I know they hired Emma because of her values, following and enthusiasm to play the role (and I'm a fan of her myself), but it was a big elephant in the room that she couldn't sing. And she cut off iconic long-held notes in a very awkward way. At least, she could have been directed in a way that could've disguised her vocal weaknesses somehow by making it very "musical theatre" with a buttload of talking-delivery parts (which may get old really quick), I don't know. I was just very disappointed about that, as someone who admires her as a person.
I HATED Belle's line: "I may be a farm girl, but I'm not simple". It sounded very condescending towards simple people. I'm sure there are plenty of simple people in the world who are just plain, good, genuinely nice people. Does she get extra points for being complex? Does this new character of Belle think herself above the masses? (Well it was kinda hinted in the animated version but anyway, I didn't like that about her character then either.) The line was unnecessarily unkind and used in a disparaging way. I don't even consider myself simple yet I was very offended by that little remark.
A change I disagreed with and disliked was how they handled the first impressions of Gaston. While he did eventually became my favourite character because I genuinely enjoyed every scene with him, a big step-up from the animation, I still have a problem with his introduction: It wasn't established immediately that Gaston was a jerk and completely unsuited to Belle, which they perfectly achieved in the animation version in such a short span of time. This is important because the audience needs to agree wholeheartedly with Belle's continued rejection of him. But he's initially portrayed as someone who COULD be decent; he looked like he was genuinely trying his best but just being clumsy at it, which was almost endearing. We need more of a telltale, immediate clue that despite his efforts, he doesn't deserve Belle's time. It's problematic bc live-action Gaston shows the potential to learn and improve (before he committed any irredeemable acts on screen, which wasn't made obvious enough to the characters in-universe and the audience that it is something he is prone to doing). If the live-action Gaston, before committing said acts, is deemed by Belle and the audience as a hopeless case, then shouldn't that apply to the Beast too? So then, if the Beast could reform, then it isn't impossible that Gaston could have, too, and Gaston was denied that change. Not necessarily by Belle, bc she has the right to say no, but that the narrative didn't treat him as kindly and you get the feeling that things could have ended up differently, until they showed us later what he's capable of with Maurice in the forest. So I get what you mean that the writing of his character made him BOTH and NEITHER certain ways.
Aside from these 3 main points, I really enjoyed the movie and went to see it twice in the cinema. It did fix up things but changed some things that didn't need to be fixed and so still wasn't perfect. But there's still a lot of good in there for me to sit down and enjoy it more than once.
trequor Art is political. That being said, politics should be expressed through themes and stuff, not the choice of actor lmaoo
Simple means dumb. It’s a nice/archaic way of saying it lol
pitch correction* not autotune. Audio engineering nerd over here 👩🏻💻
@@elisamartinez202 thanks for the clarification, I’ll adjust my terminology from now on :)
@@allyli1718 Yes, but political *bias* still ruins art. It's a misunderstanding of its purpose. To quote The Closer Look, one of the not-bad UA-cam video essay people, "do not say this is good. Do not say this is bad. Simply say this is."
I hope that this inflates the stats.
Good: It was very pretty and my eyes were very welcoming to that
Bad: The fact that the first thing out of everyone's mouths as they walked out of the theater was "The beast was more attractive as a beast"
I accidentally wandered into a piano shop and just barely escaped with my life when I realized my mistake.
Don't forget the TERRIBLE AUTO TUNE
allow me to direct you to 15:55
This is actually a great and fair way to review things, this approach should be taken more
I have fallen into a loophole and have watched your videos for six hours straight. send help
Fun fact:
In my freshman english class we were tasked to write a short "play" there worked off of something pre-existing
The "servants didn't step in against abusive father" plotline was literally one of the student plays
That's so amazing one of your students wrote the live adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. And as a college freshman too. You must be so proud
The Mr. Potts twist gets me every time and then at the beginning of the movie Mr.Potts is like “ I’m missing something but I don’t know what” & I shout “ITS YOUR FAMILY”
I liked your approach, showing the good parts and the bad. i feel like people give disney too much of a free pass on a lot of their stuff and only show the good parts, like with Maleficent.
I was just feeling blue, not really knowing what I wanted from UA-cam. Then this came up and I realized that hearing Jenny Nicholson talk in her soothing tones was exactly what I wanted
"So that ... I can artificially inflate the stats of this video."
Lots of solid lines, but that got the biggest laugh from me.
Ok for some inexplicable reason, I find your videos IMMENSELY funny. I can't place why, but for some reason you just make me laugh hysterically. I love it.
The Lefou gay moment was right at the very end. During the fight the wardrobe gives three guys a cross dressing makeover and two run away and one smiles and seems pleased with it. Then at the end when theyre all having the victory waltz Lefou gets thrown into the guy who liked the women's clothes arms and they lock eyes in a way that seems like love at first sight or something. It was very quick so you might have glanced away briefly at that moment.
Either way it wasn't all that spectacular, but I still liked that little loose end being tied up for Lefou.
The change that bugged me the most is how a lot of the songs had random pauses thrown in, especially right before Ms Potts says "I'll get warm, I'll get hot, heavens sakes, is that a spot?" For some reason they had her break the flow of the song to do this awkward sexy wink at the camera. No thanks.
i forgot about the sexy wink haha it felt like they changed up the rhythm of the singing just for the sake of change
Oh my god I thought I was the only one, it's was such a weird bit and I was completely thrown out of the scene I thought there was something wrong with the movie
I thought it was when he was singing that "No one's like Gaston!" Song and he ended up wrapping Gaston's arms around him during part of it.
Emma Watson also wasn't helped any by the fact that they auto tuned the f**k out of her to the point it sounded like an android every time the music started.

I don't normally recommend this film, but I KNOW that Jenny would appreciate it if she were to watch it. The French version of Beauty and the Beast from 2014. It's a movie that no hardcore Disney fan that I know has ever seen because it didn't really hit the States from what I can tell. I myself only picked it up by chance when I saw it in a thrift store and the cover caught my eye. But it's genuinely one of, if not THE best, version of the story that I've seen cinematically. It even introduces a few new aspects to the story that are both very surprising and very interesting.
I know this video is 7 years old, and that Jenny probably will never see this comment buried in a sea of 1500+ others, but by chance if she does, it's a strong recommend for a little-known movie that's far better than anyone would think that's better than what Disney presented us with with (literally) seven times the budget.
i watched this movie, i swear i did, but there was a teleporting book? was that what the mom backstory part was? were they teleported back? like, could they have changed the future? maybe i didn't watch it.
Yeah, if I remember correctly, they went and saw the place that Belle's mum died or something
I interpreted that as more like a holodeck.
See, it didn’t fit in with the story at all, it was so randomly slapped in for a “emotional” scene that wasn’t set up properly and didn’t affect or change the story or characters at all. Even if they wanted to make it look like character development for Belle, it really wasn’t, she didn’t change or learn anything. I’m not surprised people are forgetting it. You’re probably not the only one.
The objects in the Jenny's background always have hidden meaning.
Study it, and you will go far.
I think you could've played a better Belle then Ms. Watson!
SpiritKitten DanicaLoy DING DING!!!
Start a petition to have Disney re-remake the movie, but with Jenny as Belle and no other changes!
Danny Stowers oh crap my bad! I’m usually good about catching that kind of thing, maybe I typed too fast back then!
Y'all, when Mrs. Potts died without finding Chip and then Chip almost got smashed but was saved by the coat rack I was in actual tears at the theater
They should've cast Jack Black as Le Fou.
I didn't like how they characterized the beast. he's an asshole! he negs Belle about her interests, he throws a giant snowball in her face, he brings her to the library so as to show off to her rather than give it to her as a gift because he's developing feelings. he was just a gross jerk for like the first half of the movie.
Yes and Belle is like, this is fine
Kinda gives off the message that if you love someone who is rude and mean to you enough, they will change for the better. Which is not how it works
It’s actually a lot more “Stockholm Syndrome”-y than the original. Considering that in the original, the Beast actually changed his behavior on his own. Honestly, the Beast in this new version didn’t even show any signs of changing anything, he just kind of sits around while Belle just… falls in love with him, as he is, on her own.
Plus, in the original, his problem was mostly him being kind of unsocialized and therefore rash and careless with his temper and decisions. It wasn’t him being prejudiced, spiteful, elitist, and vain like in this version. They put in all this supposed work to make the new version look progressive, but they literally ruined the core of the story and made it worse.
Since I have no intention of ever seeing Beauty&Beast, I fully appreciate Jenny's high/low break down. The stinger alone validates my decision to skip...thanks J
"is it that time he got crashed by a falling piano? is that like a gay thing?" HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA i never cared to watch this movie, buts this sole comment made me wanna.
This is so random and slightly off topic but the cut to the dr pepper being poured into the tea cup: iconic 😂
Please never stop making content Jenny. Your vids are fire.
I think he didn't want her to know the cause of death because they abandoned her while she was sick. But I see your point
Anybody else ever try to imagine what an angry Jenny might be like? It’s really hard lol
How's the enchantress going to put a curse on The Prince and the oppressed lower class servants for his abusive parents, but she also didn't do shit to his parents or save him?
I’ve never seen someone so soft-spoken be so passive aggressive.
Yeah, the whole movie was off. The "Belle" number was awkward and her presence in the village didn't seem disrupting enough. That' same feeling of everything be juuuuuust wrong enough to be noticeable ran through the whole movie.
You have a very quiet, magnetic voice. I saw you on trending and got hooked right away! You’re great at storytelling!
Your tag at the end made me laugh out loud in a burst!
I feel like being turned into beautiful objects for their master is an apt curse for class traitors
More creepy comments than you can shake a rose at.

I'm just here to artificially inflate them stats.
Keep up the good work, Jenny.
The guy that played Gaston came out in The hobbit too. If it wasn't for his character the dragon would have destroyed everything
The fact that in this version Belle doesn’t turn into a bell is a missed opportunity. 💃🏻✨🔔✨
Wow I commented here on this
Why
@@JennyNicholson more importantly, why do you reply to comments if you don't read them. Wink.
