Favorite highlights of live action Beauty and the Beast

• They stuck to the beginning of the original story where Belle asks for a rose and her father gets lost and finds a fire and food in the castle.

• “Mama said not to move because it might be scary. Sorry.”

• Belle called the castle home.

• LEFOU! Everything about him was great. He got character development, he had some fantastic lines, his low key flirting with Gaston, his singing!!! I love my boy.

• Lumiere dabbed. Twice.

• It was beautiful. Oh my god the castle made me absolutely melt and Be Our Guest was breathtaking in live action.

• Lefou booping Gaston on the nose.

• How during the song Adam sings he’s climbing higher and higher so he can still see Belle.

• When Adam found out Belle liked Romeo and Juliet he was like “ew no not that book here have my entire library so you can read something better that that filth”.

• I really like how Gaston in the beginning wasn’t that bad, but as the movie went on he got darker and darker.

• Gaston lifTING LEFOU UP ON ONE ARM

• We finally got an explanation as to why no one remembers the castle and the prince and why the servants were cursed too.

• The guy who can’t remember what he lost in the beginning is Mr. Potts and the minute Mrs. Potts called his name I was shaking my friend next to me because oh my god he “lost” his wife and child.

• ADAM. I’ve loved Adam since forever and he’s still so great in this version AND HIS SONG ABOUT BELLE WAS SO SPECTACULAR I COULD FEEL HIS EMOTIONS.

• Cogsworth & Lumiere are still an old married couple and I love it I love them.

• I know he only had a few lines in Be Our Guest, but Cogsworth’s singing voice was amazing

• Adam’s eye makeup in the beginning that made it look like he was wearing a mask if he stood in the light just so.

• I HAVE BEEN GUSHING ABOUT THE NEW LUMIERE DISIGN SINCE THE FIRST TRAILER CAME OUT AND TO FINALLY, FINALLY SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN WAS SO SATISFYING THE LITTLE DETAILS HE HAS LIKE HIS PONYTAIL AND THE FACT THAT HIS COAT MOVES WHEN HE DOES WERE SOOOO GOOD I KNOW I’VE SAID THIS A THOUSAND TIMES BUT I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS NEW LUMIERE.

• Lefou has a bite mark from Gaston on his lower stomach and when my friend and I saw it we practically screamed because how exactly do you get a bite mark in that spot if you’re not doing some kinky bedroom stuff.

• The line “there’s a beast on the loose there’s no question, but I fear the wrong monsters released” had me so shook put that on my gravestone I fucking love it.

• It’s sweet and cute and beautiful, but when it gets dark it gets DARK, like, goddamn.

• I loved the detail of whenever a petal falls the castle crumbles further and the servants become more like the objects they are.

• Adam’s beast growl at the end when he’s a human again that, tbh, was really hot.

• The guy who, instead of freaking out when he was put in a dress and makeup, grinned and walked away with his hips swishing and totally owned it.

• That same guy and Lefou dancing together ohhh my god I think I started crying they’re so fucking cute Lefou and his cross dressing boyfriend 5ever.

We can talk about that goddamn shitty movie Maleficent till the cows come home, go on and on about how stupid it is to make such a simply evil but awesome villain the martyr for no goddamn reason.

But you know what I want?

I want a spinoff of the Beauty and the Beast about the one who cursed Adam (the beast,) the Enchantress.

Because this bitch

This fucking bitch, is possibly as evil, maybe even more evil and sadistic than Maleficent.

The Enchantress cursed the prince because he failed a test, he was unkind to her because she presented herself as an ugly old hag. She turned him into a werewolf minotaur hybrid (fucking cool I’ll give her that,) because he was rude to her and didn’t want her rose.

So she cursed him, along with every single one of his servants. What did his servants have to do with any of this? Why are they being punished?

Not only that, but this stood out to me when I watched the movie again. When the spell is broken, all of the monstrous statues and art pieces transform into graceful, beautiful ones, I’m assuming that’s what they looked like before.

So this enchantress not only cursed him and his servants (oh and his fucking DOG DID I MENTION THAT) she took away every beautiful thing he had, replacing them with things like goblins, dragons, ghouls and other monsters, just to remind him what he was and what she had done to him, and he would have to look at them every single day.

I’m going to rightfully assume she provided the magic mirror as well, all of the magic in the movie stems from her, the mirror most likely came from her. His only window to the outside world is a handheld mirror, so he can fucking look at himself.

But you know what the kicker is?

If we take these two lines into consideration

“The rose, which was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year” ~Narrator

“Ten years we’ve been rusting…” ~ Lumiere

We can reasonably deduce that the Enchantress cursed the prince when he was eleven years old.

I want this filthy green bitch publicly exposed.

Not only did she curse an 11 year old, she cursed an 11 year old PRINCE in the middle of a dark night who refused a stranger shelter because, get this, I’m 20 and if some weird old lady showed up at my door in the middle of he night and was like Yo Can I Sleep Here i would probably just close and lock my door because!!!!

Who is she!!!! I don’t know her!!!! What if she tried to kill me or stole everything!!

This boy is a prince living in a palace of luxury and he was probably given the “don’t talk to strangers” talk by his (dead??) royal parents!! Or at least Mrs. Potts!! He was probably like this lady’s gonna steal our silverware and candle sticks in the middle of the night and all she’s giving me is a rose that was probably picked from our own garden?? Bye lady.

My Beauty and the Beast Commentary

Despite being a person who doesn’t enjoy straight romance, I broke down and watched Beauty and the Beast, because well,

*sigh* The struggle is real. Anyhoo, I offer the following commentary.

  • Pre-curse prologue prince was super hot.  SUPER HOT.
  • The moment I saw Josh Gad I started singing songs from Book of Mormon in my head (you’re making things up again Arnold).
  • There were SO MANY references in Be Our Guest.  They referenced Busby Berkeley, Maurice Chevalier, Cabaret, Singing in the Rain, Bollywood, Esther Williams, Martha Graham!!!  I mean, the references were coming so fast and furious I couldn’t even keep up!   That portion of the film really rewarded fans of classic films, musicals and dance (that Martha Graham bit made me laugh out loud).

I haven’t heard the original Be Our Guest in a very long time, but was the homage to “Willkommen” from Cabaret so clear in the original as it was in this most recent version?

It was not easy to choose between the Grey or Cummings performance of this song.  Either way, seeing them in their makeup reminded me of the prince in the prologue, and depending on where you land on the topic of subtext in Disney films…well, let’s just say, I ask again what exactly was happening up in that castle?

  • Having said that, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.  I know this is Tumblr and Tumblr loves its head canons, but I have to go with the story presented to me.  And for all you people who are saying “Gaston wasn’t that bad!” in the story presented to me, Gaston tied her father to a tree so wolves could maul him to death, used his “closest friend” as a human shield, then shot the beast in the back twice when he let him go.  Seemed like a narcissistic sociopath to me, but hey, whatever floats your boat.  Who am I to judge what revs your engine (though I hope what you’re actually saying is that Luke Evans can get it.)
  • Continuing with brutal honesty, I gotta say if I were introduced to a grumpy fur covered misanthrope who was well read and had good taste, it wouldn’t take me long to say, “Yeah.  Okay.”  I mean, that’s like half the hipster bartenders in Chicago.
  • Shout out to The Beast for not immediately attempting to beat the hell out of Agathe after he was transformed back into the prince.  I mean, if I turned around and saw the woman who had made the last decade of my and my staffs’ lives a living hell just standing there with a smirk, I would have been like
