  • Welcome to Friday Night Sleepover!
    Beauty and the Beast (1991) showcases some of the most beautiful animation in the Disney Renaissance, especially in the beast transformation scene. But, when the prince turns around we were all shocked to see a prince that just didn't look how we imagined. Who's the blame for this horrible offense? Let's look at the animation process, from animator Glen Keane's pencil tests, to the color application, and see if we can solve this mystery.

    Hope you enjoy the video! In all honesty, the prince looks fine! This video just uses to light humor as a doorway to talk about some interesting animation processes. So don't worry if you thought the Prince looked great! He's OK in my book too!
    Please let me know what topics you'd like to see in the future!

    @ZoraTheberge 3 роки тому +8990

    It’s also clear in Glen Keane’s original version, that the prince’s eyes are looking above “camera” at Belle. In the final, he’s drawn to look directly into the camera. He’s not looking at Belle, he’s looking at us. It’s an uncanny fourth wall break the artist didn’t envision.

      Looking at the close up sketch at 4:53 (paused before applied shadows) I'd say he actually looks at the camera. But it's hard to tell for sure because the right eye is much darker at the top than the left eye.

    It’s interesting how there’s a split in who finds him attractive in this scene, and who doesn’t. This will get across my thoughts: this is my fav scene from all the Disney animated films since becoming an adult. IMO, it’s the most human expression they’ve achieved on a male face in the last 30 years, but he also feels like a classic sculpture made alive through animation.

Seeing his reveal was actually quite moving for me because I had never seen another Disney prince look as old-worldly as he did. He looked *exactly* like marble sculptures and that only solidified my sense of awe with him. He was a work of art!

      Blaming CEO's and stockholders will only get you so far. No, the world won't get better by making up hashtags, writing to politicians, or making up silly polls that nobody in power actually cares about in the slightest.
      You either force the capitalist to give you a fair wage, or you can keep living in the illusion that billionaires are philantropists with a heart of gold that really, absolutely "care" about their employees.
      Not to mention that 2D animation was superior in any case. Faster production =/= better.

    I always thought the jump-scare intro to the prince's faces was over-dramatizing the eyes. Eyes that had been a key hints to his human side. Thankfully the artist redeemed themselves in other shots (except for the nose. Thought it was funny that in perspective, his human nose was bigger than the beast nose).

      I would go back further than Michaelangelo.... It makes me think of a Byzantine Icon. His face is perfectly symmetrical in the reveal, which was considered the Ideal of beauty. The transformation scene (especially how he radiates light) invokes the Transfiguration. And as another comment pointed out: he's not looking at Belle, but staring directly into the eyes of the viewer (us). There's actually quite a lot going on if you look at it through the eyes of Christian/European iconography/art history

    We don't exactly get ample time to grow used to his human design. Honestly, it doesn't look bad just oddly too detailed and realistic compared to the rest of the human characters (I'd say it's just like Aurora when she wakes up and blinks and she has a realistic face and her tiara is gemstone incrusted, only that scene was prettier). I still find the heavy browbones to look off on a Disney Prince, cause it looks like already enough detail to have that specific feature on a delicate face with prominent lips. I think they thought they were drawing from aspects of his Beast design, but it just ended up looking funny. I'd prefer if they animated him with a face that looks less detailed but still handsome more like John Smith or John Rolfe from Pocahontas level of detailed faces.

  • @LovuxTheGreat
    @LovuxTheGreat 3 роки тому +27

    Aside from the awkward lighting/shading mentioned in the video, I kind of always assumed that the prince looks odd in that reveal shot because he's probably experiencing a hurricane of emotions due to the intensity of the situation. Think about it, he had pretty much lost the will to live when Gaston and the mob stormed the castle, then he lights up when he sees Belle has returned to him, THEN he is stabbed by Gaston and dies in Belle's arms.... and when he wakes up he's suddenly a human again. How does one even process such a crazy sequence of events? I have made much uglier facial expressions in much less dramatic situations, I can't even imagine the shock, disbelief, relief, confusion, happiness that the prince must be feeling in those first couple of moments when he realizes what has happened. Just my headcanon though.

    he never looked weird to me? I always thought he was very handsome as a human

      @@patrickmulopo7957 it's fine if you like him, but it's not a "fad"; I literally saw this movie as a young teenager when it came out, when the internet was barely a thing, let alone something that a 13 year old would have access to to be caught in a fad, and I have a vivid memory of being disappointed by the transformation into this prince. Not everyone dislikes it, but this has been a thing for literally thirty years, it's not an internet fad, people just didn't like the animation of the prince post transformation 🤷🏻

    Never thought he looked weird. He looked otherworldly, like an angel.. But that's to be expected after breaking a curse like that.

    This video started and I was immediately like "...actually, Belle looks weird too" when you played the clips of her. I tried to point it out to my friend but she doesn't see it.

    As a kid, Beauty and the Beast was like my fav movie. But when I saw the face of the prince, it felt anticlimactic tbh.

    Loved this video! My sister and I used to laugh hysterically whenever we saw this scene because we thought he looked so ridiculous. But I loved hearing the technical reasons as to why it looks off. Very informative and engaging!

    1:00 Can we just take a second to appreciate that one of the animators who worked on the Beast was named "Geefwee Boedoe?"

    I'm glad someone is mentioning this. I have always found the prince way more charming as a beast. Also, not every character "looks better" as their true form: a separate form works way better for them. Vivziepop's Hell-characters are the purest proof of that. All of the sinner demons look so badass as demons instead of humans.

    What are you talking about, he's the most handsome of them all. He just has strong features, make him look more human.

      He's talking about that one shot. He said he looks fine in the other shots once he's moving, but that reveal made him look wonky

    They went too hard on his beast form. How could they top that 😆 I do like his human form a lot though, and the processes detailed in the video was very interesting too! Keep it up~

  • @littleblueclovers
    @littleblueclovers 3 роки тому +27

    Thank you! As a kid I just couldn’t like that scene... he looked too realistic and I felt like their efforts to make him look extremely handsome put him in some uncanny valley.

    I always thought the human form was handsome, even in that one shot. This feels too nitpicky.

      Same. The animators worked their ass off on this and that one shot is being blown out of proportion. I would have never stopped to think he’s ugly. i clicked on this video thinking: whatever do they mean?
