#Belle #BeautyAndTheBeast #Disney - Наука та технологія
Fun reaction - I adore this movie. It bugs me when people say it's "Stockholm Syndrome" bc that would be if Belle changed/lowered her standards and accepted him as the rude ragemonster, changing herself to fit him. No, in this movie, she held onto her standards, and he had to change to live up to them. That's the opposite.
I'm in the same boat as you! It was definitely not Stockholm Syndrome by any means. I highly recommend you watch Cinema Therapy's insight on this movie because they actually dive into the psychology of the movie and discuss how it doesn't relate to Stockholm Syndrome at all.
The opposite is called Lima syndrome. When the captor feels for the captive, even falls in love.
@@jediavatarmage072 I mean...technically, they did end up confirming that it was Stockholm Syndrome...but by its true definition and not the misconstrued one everyone's been using over the years.
Beauty and the Beast:
Beast releases Maurice with the promise that Belle stays with him. He has to save her life, learn some manners, and do nice things for her unprovoked before she starts to warm up to him. He also at one point lets her go with no prospect of her returning.
Actual Stockholm Syndrome:
Captor keeps his victim by force, and demands that he/she appeases the captor, and the captor rewards good behavior if he/she feels like it.
TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS!!!
@@jediavatarmage072 I love their channel! (Not more than I love this one though, I live for Evan's reactions heh)
"No sweetie that's considered child abuse at this point." That made me Muttley laugh 😂
Made me think, ya tell Harry Potter that.
I think there’s a huge misconception about the rose. People think that when they say the rose blooms until the Beast’s 21st birthday, that it immediately wilts post that time. That isn’t the case. The rose STARTS to wilt upon the 21st birthday, meaning that it could be wilting for years before the last petal falls. So it’s very likely the Beast was older than 11 when he was cursed.
Except that Lumiere says in Be our Guest that "ten years we've been rusting..." And if the rose is supposed to bloom until his twenty first year, that would solidly put him at eleven when he was cursed. And, Lumiere also said "but the rose has already begun to wilt" as if it was a new thing.
@@domidium I agree. And it's a magical rose that dies on queue. Ofc it would be possible for it to exist for ten years :)
It's pretty obvious that time froze in the castle when the curse was casted upon it. Otherwise how would you explain Chip? He's seven years old.
Also, the painting that Beast tears down clearly shows him as an adult.
@@hummus_exual My thinking was that, since the servants were turned into inanimate objects, time was "frozen" for THEM. But, since the curse was primarily meant for the Beast (Prince Adam), he aged normally.
I always interpreted it as his 21st year of being a beast. That in the beginning he was hopeful about the curse bring broken, but after ten years he fell in despair and isolated himself and therefore the servants didn't really anything hence ten years we've been rusting. This goes alone with them not aging.
MoviesInDepth: “Personality Matters.”
MoviesInDepth literally at the end of the movie: (comments about the looks of the protagonist while weighing his assessment)
Shhhhhhhh stop speaking truth
Seriously nothing tops the "Prologue" from this movie. From the music to the scenery, to the stained glass. Just beautiful!
The narrator's voice in the Spanish (latin) version is *chef's kiss*
It's a pretty common opinion that Human!Beast is probably one of the less attractive princes; he does still fit the general time and place, so the accuracy is there but... yeah, it led to a lot of young and teen girls having to unravel finding the beast form more appealing. Rude, Disney. Pay for my therapy. Or own up to instigating an era of monster romance writers and readers.
Friendly reminder that this version is Howard Ashmans swan song.
Much of the beasts struggles came directly from Ashmans own struggles with AIDS.
If you listen really close to Kill the Beast, you can actually hear how it plays into this narrative.
Oh... I had no idea.
I can only think of one response: who knew?
The rose is supposed to stop when he turns 21, but in be out guest, lumiere says “10 years we’ve been rusting” that means that apparently the enchantress cursed a literal 11 year old…
Yep! I'm always had LOTS of questions to that enchantress. Actually...What the fuck?
Well, this settle pretty good with old cruel versions of fairy tales though.
@@sungunner6244 Yup, Ariel for example didn't have a good time on land.
@@anib8863 I really can't stop laughing every time I remember, Disney was like, "well let's make happy end there!...But what about lil crossover with Lovecraft "Call of Ctulhu" before? Stab that giant octobitch with ship! Muahahaha!"
No the rose STARTS wilting at 21 years old, so we don’t know how long before that the rose started blooming
People often say that the beast's human form isn't amazing looking but honestly I've always appreciated it the most out of all the Disney princes as it best matches the origin of the story it comes from. The story comes from french folklore and the original writer was french and so I feel his appearance distinctly matches that.
I think it’s also fitting that he isn’t a stereotypical drop-dead-gorgeous prince considering the story’s overarching theme of inside v. outside beauty.
He’s still good-looking though.
He's always been my favorite Disney Prince. I think he has striking features.
So French people aren't amazing looking ? 😂
@@thomaslamy465 Different cultures (and different time periods) have different perceptions of beauty. What's fitting here is that this prince is VERY attractive in the country and time period he's from. Which works really well, he looks exactly like I'd expect an idealized French man from the middle ages to look.
He's the most handsome one for me!
Ever since I was a kid this has been my favorite Disney movie. It is a lot of fun and teaches a great lesson about judging people by who they are and not what they look like. So glad you saw it and enjoyed it.
"Good God! The beast has no chill whatsoever!"
That is probably one of the most accurate summaries of the character I've heard.
Belle has always been one of my favorite leads. She knew people thought she was odd but didn't really care. For example with Gaston dismissing her love of reading while the Beast gave her whole library.
4:40
"Sweetie, you may want to move we're about to disneyfy this..." that cracked me up! x"D ROFL!!
Fun Fact: Chip is voiced by Bradley Pierce, who also voiced Tails in Sonic SatAM and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
He also starred in The Borrowers, and the original Jumanji!
Was he the boy protagonist in Jumanji?
@@carlalussini
He was Peter.
The boy that turns into a monkey, not the one that grows up into Robin Williams.
I love this movie I literally had the dress, the crown, the rose, I have a necklace that has a book and rose, literally Belle is the reason I love reading and France, I had Mrs. pots and chip
14:23
Fun Fact: The Asylum owner has the same voice as Frollo from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, namely Tony Jay!
"Ohh, they're being gross together"
I had pause and could only could only continue watching after like 5 minutes of laughing
My family has always loved this movie. My mom and dad’s wedding was beauty and the beast themed, and my parents are somehow both really similar to Belle and The Beast. But growing up I could never watch the scene where we first meet the beast in this version. It took me 14 years before I could watch the whole movie.
Yeah, can’t say I blame ya either. The music, lighting and the appearance of an angry, growling beast in darkness at the doorway will scare any child.
beauty and the beast actually came out in 1991 not the 80's (the little mermaid is what came out in 1989), and yes it is an absolute classic! your commentary was killing me xD
Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses! The live action was disappointing… but not the most disappointing live action
‘Beauty and the Beast’ is the Disney version of ‘Pride and Prejudice’.
Here's the cool thing: if you look into the historical context of this story, it actually explains almost everything.
Example: she's the quirky girl that doesn't fit in because she wasn't born there. She still remembers Paris. Which they sort of touched on in the remake.
She was from Paris? I don't remember anyone saying that
@@memyselfandi7782 they don't have to. It's from the original story. Her father was a merchant that lost everything because of a storm, so they settled in the town.
@@memyselfandi7782 "ever since we came to this poor provential town "
@@videohistory722 There are hundreds of versions of the 'original story.' The oldest one was Chinese. The oldest French one does not talk about Belle not fitting in. Here it os clear Belle does not fit in because she is an intellectual, not because she is an urban woman. And the remake just made Belle into one of those 2009 girls who thinks going to Paris solves all problems.
@@gloriebluestein9721 provincial, not provential
To answer the “how old was he” thing, the stained-glass at the beginning clearly shows that the prince was at least 16 or so. If the rose blooms until his 21st year and starts to wilt then, that means it bloomed for 5 years, and to me, it makes sense that the wilting process would take just as long. 5 years of blooming+5 years of wilting=10 years.
Another explanation is that Lumiere was exaggerating and that it’s only been 3-5 years. Since Lumiere has a flair for the dramatic, I wouldn’t doubt this at all.
He was 21 when he was cursed. The rose bloomed for 21 years, so he was a beast for 21 years, and his human self paused. When the curse was lifted, he was transformed back into his 21 year old self. Technically he’s 42 but essentially he’s just 21.
In regards to the discrepancy between the picture and Luminere's song, I was listening to a podcast with the director of the movie that explains it. Ashman, the lyrcist of the movie, wanted him to be a child when cursed because that's how it is in the classic french tale. The director wanted him to be a teenager, 16-18. Otherwise, it would make the enchantress seem cruel. Apparently they never came to an agreement. The aforementioned discrepancy was a result of this.
Omg I haven’t heard of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ in a while. It’s quite a tale.
I'm so glad you watched the one I love. I love every rendition of this story. No matter what. But this is the most beautiful version.
7:13
Horses have a superhuman sense of smell. While not as good as a dog’s, they can effectively use it to track their human companions (among other things).
18:51
Gaston: “let me go!”
The Joker (Heath Ledger): “Very poor choice of words!”
🤣
To answer your question,
The prince was twenty one when he was cursed. He was then a beast for twenty one years. So technically he’s 41 to 42 for the story, but his human form was paused while he was cursed so essentially he’s only 21.
As a side note, Lumier says that they haven’t entertained for ten years. And the beast thinks Maurice came to gawk at him. So who was it that came to the castle ten years prior, enjoyed a feast, gawked at the beast, and ran away? Considering Gaston led the townspeople right to the castle, I think it’s safe to say it was him.
Yeah, bc of the curse, time stops. For him as a beast and for his servants as household objects.
Okay your quips were on point in this video
"That chin of his could be classified as a weapon"
"There's this thing called consent and you don't have it"
"It's either enchanted or I'm HIGH"
😂
This is my favorite Disney animated movie of all time. The music, the story, the characters, the voice actors, true love changing someone for the better, and so much more. Its an amazing story and will always have a place in my heart. Fun fact the movie was nominated for best picture bc the category for best animated film didn’t exist yet. It’s the best!
Angela Lansbury is an icon for singing ‘A Tale as Old as Time’. ‘Chip’ was cute too!
The book Belle reads and describes to the book seller is Aladdin. I forget if it was confirmed or just a really popular fan theory, but it fits if you think about it
Paige O'Hara said it was Cinderella :)
It is a fairytale combination. Remember it also mentions far off places (Cinderella is also in France) and ogres and beanstalk.
@@scarlett5247 I heard it was Aladdin because Disney often hints at their next movie, and Aladdin came out a year after Beauty and the Beast. Belle also mentions far off places (Agrabah compared to France), daring sword fights (when the guards are chasing and fighting Aladdin), magic spells (the Genie turning Aladdin into a prince, and Jafars magic), and a prince in disguise (Aladdin pretending to be a prince). Belle also sings "Here's where she meets Prince Charming, but she won't discover the it's him 'til chapter 3." Jasmine meets Aladdin when she sneaks out of the palace, but doesn’t see him again until he’s a prince who wants to be with her. This is the most popular theory on her book I’ve found. Some people think it might be Sleeping Beauty (but I think the chapter three line makes that kinda unlikely unless belles book only has three chapters), and some people think it’s just foreshadowing.
It's believed the beast was 12 or 13 when the curse took place. The boy was practicing stranger danger, lol. Also, when this film was first aired it was only the voice acting and sketch art, and it got a standing ovation as incomplete as it was.
Update: he was actually 11 still close enough to be messed up.
11 years old. He has until 21st birthday, rose blooms for 10 years. And it seems he was an orphaned 11 year old, with only servants and no parents.
@@ScarlettM still pretty messed up
The prince was 21 when he was cursed. His human self was then paused while he was a beast for 21 years. So in the end, technically he is 42, but essentially, he is just 21.
For the first 11 years of the curse, people would stills go to the castle and get scared away by the beast. I suspect Gaston was one such adventurous youth. He was obsessed with k*lling animals and knew exactly where the castle was.
In "The Enchanted Christmas," the Beast has a flashback of that night with the enchantress, and he appears much older than 11-13. Perhaps 15 or 16 would be a more believable age.
In regards to the discrepancy between rhe picture and Luminere's song, I was listening to a podcast with the director of the movie that explains it. Ashman, the lyrcist of the movie, wanted him to be a child when cursed because that's how it is in the classic french tale. The director wanted him to be a teenager, 16-18.

I'm loving how you're watching disney classics rn, more reaction channels should do that! Btw, i asked that some time ago, but have you ever watched "mirror mirror"? Is not from disney but is like a snow white spin-off, and it is just AMAZING, and also so underrated! If you never watched, please do, i think you would love it, believe me.
4:38 - Yes, this. I've ridden for years and when you're not in a safe enclosed space the horse should be kept a close eye on.
I was having a terrible trek (horse did not want to play ball), got her to settle just as we were heading back down from a mountain when she started playing up again for no reason. Yeah, some moron on a mountain bike came out of the steep scrub and ploughed into the middle of the group of horses. FUN.
Is anyone going to tell him that there already is a Disney version of Sleepy Hollow that came before Tim Burtons?
You mean him?
While I wasn't blown away by Emma Watson as Belle, can we just take a moment to appreciate Luke Evans as Gaston? Perfection lol
I agree. Luke Evans was perfect for the role of Gaston.
❤ This story! My favorite version was the 1987 TV series with Catherine (Linda Hamilton) & Vincent (Ron Perlman) ❤
There is also a tv show very loosely based on that tv show , by cw. It also had the main characters named Vincent and Catherine. The CW's version is the version I saw first after the Disney classic and really liked it , so when I heard that it was very loosely based not on the Disney classic , but a different tv show by the same name , I was intrigued. Now I can say that I have added the 1987 version to the VERY small list of GOOD "Beauty and the Beast type stories".
Fun fact: The Prince’s name is Adam
Is that official? Or Fanon?
@@StoryMing a little bit of both. They have different articles on what the Prince’s name so I really couldn’t tell you which article was real and one wasn’t
"Or yeeted"
Yeeeeeeet
YEET.
3:48 IT WAS A LIBRARY BOOK (Also, maybe this is a hint for you to react to ‘Matilda’ which came out in 1996)
Fact time! Apparently, Angela Lansbury (Mrs Potts) sang "Beauty and the Beast" in one take and that's what is used in the movie!
The og is my childhood. It’s a big part of the inspiration to my personality. Belle is an inspiration!
I think you’d be a great Belle because you seem to mirror her thoughts while reacting to the movie.
Someone grab my crown and sign me up
@@MoviesinDepth You'd make a gorgeous Belle. 😍🌹
Chip: Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
MID: No sweetie that's considered child abuse at this point.
Me: Tell that to Harry Potter!
I was actually caught off guard when I saw you decided to do this movie!😮
Surprisingly enough, Beauty and The Beast is actually my childhood movie!😊
Belle is my favorite Disney princess, among others of course!😋
Her romantic relationship with the Beast is nothing short of adorable, second best to Aladdin and Jasmine!⭐
How about you do Captain Underpants:The First Movie next? It's filled with hilarious amounts of comedy that people of all ages can enjoy!😃
Hope you're doing well, and Plus Ultra!❤️
Do you know that phrase?🙂
MHA
@@MoviesinDepth You guessed it! Nice job dude!😊
6:03 Back in the day? It's 2D animation. It doesn't matter that it was "back in the day." Just because things are 3d nowadays doesn't automatically make them better. I WISH we still had 2D animation in movies like this, but, Toy Story kinda killed it.
As a ginger I love that the beast has reddish hair/eyebrows and lashes!👨🏻🦰❤️ I thought you as a ginger would have appreciated it 😄
4:04
You just answered your own question.
😉
"How does a clock do excercise?"
Killing time? 😄
Oh my god….
@@MoviesinDepth 🤣
tbh i think it's fitting that the beast's human form isn't the most gorgeous ever. this probably wasn't intended, since story-wise beast was meant to be very handsome and that contributed to his bad attitude and ego pre curse. but it actually fits better with the theme of the story that he isn't _that_ handsome. it's perfect that he turned out to be a nice-looking but mostly average guy, bc belle doesn't care either way. it was never his appearance that she fell for in the first place, that won't change now that he's human.
but yeah, the live action was good, but it can't hold a candle to the animated! belle and her dress are too iconic, and the songs are truly magical.
Yesss!! I’ve been waiting for this!! This one’s a classic
Beauty and the Beast was nominated for Best Picture that year so was the winner for Best Animated Film
The best Disney movie ever! I mean the whole thing was developed like a stage musical before they even made it a stage musical, lol
Such a good movie it’s a classic and i find myself rewatching it from time to time
Petition for either an Anastasia, Road to El Dorado, or Sinbad reaction-
The book Belle was reading was actually an easter egg for Aladdin. "Far off places," fictional kingdom of Agrabah. "Daring sword fights," all the sword fighting references in the movie. "A prince in disguise." Aladdin disguised himself as a prince.
12:12 That's Zazu in Lion King🤣
The Beast (Prince Adam) was the first Disney prince who had negative traits; before, the princes were kind and heroic. After him, there were several Disney Princes who were selfish and/or arrogant (John Smith, Naveen, and Flynn Rider), though we did still have kind ones (Aladdin, Shang).
God I've watched about 6 videos of yours already. And I am loving each and single one of them. Your good at this and funny.
0:30 You have given me another great excuse to play Beauty and the Beast during this season!
15:23 Now that we stay mostly at home, we’ve all become the Beast at some point 😂
People tend to forget that she when she went to the castle it was summer and when she went back home it was winter. So she like spend like months with him and learn to know him temper and all and she also had time to work her magic on him
When Gaston falls he actually has skull and crossbones in his eyes
You completely made my day good sir! Thank you!
9:11 : *He can lift a BENCH,...with those three girls*
OK, PLEASE tell me someone heard him say something other then "bench" 😂🤣
Lmao
To answer ur question on how a clock does exercises...
let me just say it does have 2 hands that move clockwise and counterclockwise.
3:14 - you not going to mention that he shot an arrow out of a smoking gun?
Also, please consider reacting to "Gargoyles" - it's really interesting.
You asked how long it had been since the Beast was transformed and in Be Our Guest Lumiere says “For ten years we’ve been rusting” and since the rose still has some petals that means that the Beast was ten when the Enchantress changed him into a Beast.
"I feel like we just walked in the disney version of sleey hollow"
Me: *Side eyes Disney's The Adventures of Ichabod on my shelf*

Makes sense since it is a fairy tale after all, one that has many different versions.
Punishing a spoiled 10 year old on the one hand explains why the beast is in arrested development. On the other hand, it also weakens the message of learning a lesson lol since it really was just a spoiled rich kid, which would be 100% expected for a prince. I prefer that version, but now I wonder if that was supposed to be bad luck in the first place or just an example of telling kids they need to be perfect or else.
I want a whole movie of Chip alone because he is the cutest character in the world
my cousin and her little kid just got a new puppy the other day and named her Belle!!
she's super adorable and very brown
i don't know what kind of dog except that she's a good one
I love that
I subscribed to you earlier this week, when you first got all them comments from me. Lol. Love your vids!
I'm surprised you hadn't seen this one yet but I love seeing reactions to it so yay. I got to visit the Beast's castle at Disney World a few years ago. It was so beautiful. This movie is definitely up there with my all time Disney favorites. 🌹
9:22 I do the same thing every time Iisten to this song 🤣
They developed new animation technology for this one, specifically showcased in the ballroom scene.
Growing up, we saw very few movies in the theater. This was one of them, and if I remember right, might have been the very first movie my younger sibs saw in a theater.
" Ohhh now the horse is brave."
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I didn't fully appreciate Cogsworth's castle tour until I became an art history major. The Baroque joke still gets me.
Also: Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Please
loved this one as a kid, still love it as an adult. great video! :) I'd love you to see react to Pocahontas and a live action Peter Pan (with Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Jason Isaacs) :)
19:31 his real name is prince Adam.
My absolute favorite movie of all time. Doesn't matter what I'm doing or how old I am. When it's playing, I end up starry eyed and cross-legged on the floor like a little kid.
Omg this is a classic! I did some of their songs in my middle school Cabaret years and years ago. I have a sinking suspicion since you hadn’t seen this movie, that you haven’t seen, what I consider, the best Disney princess movie Anastasia. Not actually a Disney princess, but they bought the rights of the movie after it was a success, so technically was inducted into the list later on. It’s darker than average Disney since it wasn’t originally released by them, but I’d highly recommend you do it one of these days.
beauty and the beast has always been my fav and belle was always my fav princess. i also love rapunzel, tiana, merida, mulan, and moana
all tanked. Ariel outsold outtalented and outprettied
Thanks for watching this so fast when I suggested it!
I feel like if you were an inanimate object in this movie, you'd definitely be Lumiere :P
Your watching the movie in the same month as it came out in 91 at the theaters.. it came out Nov 22, 1991... so its 30 yrs old this month .. its perfect timing
Love your sense of humour dude!
I swear, yesterday I watch again your reaction to the live action lol
I nearly spit out my juice when you said the 80's! 🤣🤣🤣 This movie was released in 1991. Great commentary!
The devolution of Gaston is interesting. While he's never a sympathetic character, in the first half he's little more than a stupid jerk, more funny than frightening, almost in the 'lovable goof' category. In the second act, obsessed with his rejection of Belle, he becomes more dangerous and frightening, and, especially, more an active agent, preparing to have Maurice put away, leading the anthem to hatred, 'Kill the Beast', and ultimately stabbing said Beast in the back in an act of bestiality and cowardice. As the Beast becomes more human, Gaston becomes more the beast (as, of course, the script tells us explicitly). I wonder how the actors for Gaston in the stage productions approach it. In the first act, they want Gaston to get laughs; in the second act, they want the audience to cheer at his demise (in the film, I think, Le Fou abandons this Gaston). This might not be easy, especially for less experienced actors, e.g., in high school productions.
I am Reptile Woman!! I saw my comment on there!! Can't wait to watch this ❤❤
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Philip was able to find the father because of his sense of smell, the scent trail was still fresh since it hasn't been even a full day yet since he left, also, I have a theory about the spell, it turns the prince into a beast but, it also turns the servants into objects depending on they're role in the castle or they're personality, for example, the maids became feather dusters, the kitchen staff became silverware/cooking utensils, the chef became a stove, and so on so forth and lastly the wolves were possibly the hunters for the castle that would provide the food for the castle
"The Disney version of Sleepy Hollow"
Apparently you never saw "Ichabod and Mr. Toad"
4:43 - There isn't a doubt in my mind that the artists referred to the actual Disney animated Sleepy Hollow for this/ :D Very similar setup and a very similar feel to the scene. That short is a masterclass in tension-building!!
If you like puppies in disney films, you should watch (if you haven't already) Lady and the Tramp and/or The Fox and the Hound.
Ahh Be Our Guest. Great scene with tons of delicious looking food.. and she still didn't get shit to eat afterwards.
I think most corgis look like the footstool/footrest in this movie. Lol it makes me very happy.
beauty and the beast is like my favorite film of all time, inside of Disney and outside, also my fav aminated film. The film is better than the remake.
4:45 ... Disney does have a version of sleepy hollow... and an animated version from 1949...
