The moral of Beauty and the Beast is that we should value inward characteristics such as kindness over other superficial qualities, such as wit and appearance.

This really is one of if not the best Disney movie of all time. It even became the first animated movie to be nominated for best picture.

Fun Fact: Belle’s blue and white dress and hairstyle were inspired by Judy Garland as Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz”. Also, when the Beast gets his mane curled, it pays a homage to the scene where the Cowardly Lion gets a perm before he and his friends go to see the Wizard.

They were amazing for doing this movie. Honestly, I really wish that they were still alive but if they were still alive, I would imagine how they felt about seeing Emma Watson’s version of this movie.

As a kid, Beauty and the Beast was a film that I just liked, but barely appreciated it. As an adult and animator, this film became one of my top favorites for it’s gorgeous animation, music, characters, and voice cast. It really is a “tale as old as time.”😉

Another nice fact about the woman who played Miss Potts, her singing of Beauty and the Beast made the people in the recording booth cry because it was just that nice.

This was my favorite movie as a child, and I still adore it. It bothers me that so many people refer to it as "a movie about Stockholm Syndrome", even if it has been pointed out multiple times and ways that it is not the case. The love story between Belle and Beast is one of my favorites by Disney, and I love how the live action deepens that and characters' backstories even more. BATB has wonderful songs, great and unique story, and very real life-kind of villain. I love how Lumiere and Cogsworth act like an old married couple for the whole movie. :D I still haven't gotten over the fact that Angela passed away, she was such an amazing actress. You getting emotional and singing along with "Tale As Old As Time" is such a mood. Thank you so much for reacting to this.

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.

The simplicity and imperfect nature of her version ( and I mean that as a compliment) is what made it so magical and tear-inducing. The live action remake added more instrumental wise and was overall more polished. That's why I don't like it.

Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury (voice of Mrs Potts)🕊️🫖

The beast/ Prince is 21 years old. He had to have the curse broken by his 21st birthday. He was around 12 when he was cursed.

Monsiere D'Arc is done by Tony Jay, in fact, all his lines are taken from the audition since they were so few. Directors Krik Wise and Gary Trousedale remembered Tony's role and used it to hire him as the voice of Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I love belle, she’s my favorite of all princess. Her kindness, her smarts, her willingness to teach others. No matter how many people think she’s odd she still keeps going and looks on the bright side.

This is maybe 1 of my fav disney movies. Can relate to a sad and angry and in despair Beast and Gaston was good at being both amusing and annoying and delivering a good song when riling up the town, and then meeting his much deserved end

"But I love this book: magic spells, a prince in disguise..." Belle predicting the release of Aladdin in 1992

Also fun interestibg fact: In the original version of the ending, Gaston had survived the fall off the castle, and was supposed to be shown getting attacked and eaten by the wo;ves. Disney thought that would be too drk, and they ended up recycling that idea, and used it in The Lion King. Hence Scar's death scene now makes a bit more sense. Also I think you should watch both of the animated sequels before the re kae that came out in 2017.

Love this movie so much. It remains my absolute favorite Disney animated fairy tale. Also, I recommend the 2017 remake as well. It answers a few of the questions you had about this film and expands on the backstories of several of the characters. The new songs they added fit very well with the classic favorites as well. All in all, this film will live on forever as an animated classic!

YEEEESSSS!!!!! FINALLY!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!! It is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE Disney movie!!!!!! I've watched it countless times throughout my ENTIRE LIFE that I recite the prologue BY HEART!!!!!!! I would memorize everything; from the prologue to every line and a peculiar scene of the movie just carefully listening to the score of the movie. It might seem AND sound crazy, but it's true. Belle is my #1 favorite Disney princess and I've alway felt so connected to her. She and the Beast are my top favorite Disney couple because Beast matures and changes into a better person for Belle. Even when he gave her the castle library as token of his affections, I thought it was the kindest, most beautiful, most romantic thing he has done. I just love everything about it: The prologue, the whole storyline, the characters and their designs, Belle's personality and open mind, the music... EVERYTHING!!!!! I love how Disney reimagined and told this classic fairytale in their style. And in my opinion, I believe the Disney version of this classic fairytale teaches us a very valid yet valuable life lesson. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is my absolute favorite Disney movie. I always aspired to be like belle. Back in the day I had a dress my godmother made. I'm so excited for this reaction

Three songs were also nominated for Best Song--Belle, Be Our Guest, and Beauty and the Beast--with Beauty and the Beast receiving the win. On KZread there is a video of Belle and Be Our Guest, performed at the Oscars by the voice cast. It's worth checking out.

This is one of my favorite Disney Movies. This video brought me back so much nostalgia, especially since I had belle’s dress when I was small.

I'm most impressed by the voice acting and the Alan Menken/Howard Ashman songs🎶🌹

I couldn't agree with you, Cody! Beauty and the Beast is still one of the most beautiful and heartfelt Disney movies, and the songs are still among the best in the vault even to this day! And I definitely relate to your tears upon hearing of Angela Lansbury's recent passing, it literally hurt me deep when I heard about it! 😭😭💔💔😭😭 And she will forever remain an iconic actress and singer, and the song will be as timeless as the story itself....

I always watch the version with the "human againg" song and is one of my favorite songs in this movie

I remember watching this in Spanish when I was a kid, still pretty good!

Wonderful reaction Cody, so glad you rewatched it! Belle was my favorite Disney princess growing up. I was a brunette bookworm who often got bullied so seeing her on screen was amazing for me as a young girl. I definitely think you should watch the remake. There is an additional song that written by the original composers that didn't make it into the animated feature, Emma Watson is great as Belle and I think there's some good additions to the story. The animated version has a special place in my heart but I really enjoyed the live action remake.

Oh man this is one of my favorite movies, literally part of my childhood

P.S. You should DEFINITELY watch the 2017 remake... because it will show you the backstory of both the Beast and Belle. But -- in the spirit of Christmas-- might I recommend watching the Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas? There's this beautiful Christmas song called 'As Long As There's Christmas' that'll just touch your heart. Trust me. 😉 And have a Merry Christmas!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Loved your reaction! This is my all time favorite Disney movie. It’s special to me cuz I relate to the Beast and I’m still struggling with my appearance

Can we acknowledge the fact that this all started with an 11 year old boy who wouldn't let a stranger into his home and was then cursed for it? I find it crazy.

Hi Cody! Honestly, I loved the live action beauty and the beast, it also does well to fill in some of the backstory of the beast and the world in the beginning and throughout the story! I think you would enjoy it!!

Revisiting it now, that moment at 33:50, pretty sure we just witnessed the most vicious murder and just played it off as cartoon slapstick

This is one of my favorite childhood Disney movies along with Sleeping Beauty. I remember listen to the BATB soundtrack on cassette at bedtime.

8:54 Actually, it was a popular fan-theory that everyone forgetting the castle’s presence was part of the beast’s curse. 🤔 This also became the official explanation in the remake.

My favorite Disney princess movie of them all. I love the story, the animation and the music. My favorite song, I would have to say is a tie between "Be Our Guest", "Human Again", "Something There", and "Beauty And The Beast".

Oh sh** 😳 I see them!

Pretty Nostalgia and a instant classic like the Lion King from 1994 but still a pretty underrated movie from 1991 and I would probably stick with this than the 2017 version of Beauty and The Beast in my opinion. This a thousand times better than the 2017 Beauty and the Beast movie. Great work Cody and keep it up.

The live-action Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the few live-action adaptations that's actually worth watching. It's got more songs and clears up a few inconsistencies in the original movie

The live action was actually really good, I've watched it quite a few times. Definitely worth a watch, would love to see your reaction to it 😄

Be Our Guest is just a classic song of Disney. :)

My favorite character in this movie is Bell, because she is very smart and very beautifull. And songs are very classic.

This is such an amazing movie. Belle was always my favorite princess growing up. I would say yes to watching the live action version. It isn’t as good as the original, but I still enjoyed it a lot. There is also an animated Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie that is fun too!

I remember human again song was on this movie. But I can only see it on KZread or on a DVD player. I just don’t know why they haven’t put that song on Disney + but overall Belle is my favorite Princess character in this movie and my favorite movie of all time

I nearly peed myself when I saw this. This is one of my favorites.

You should also check out the enchanted Christmas 🎄 from beauty and the beast 2.

I honestly love how many people think they understand and fully support the message of the story, and then go “Oh, Adam’s not attractive enough, the Beast was better”… Come on! I always liked Adam, but even if you don’t (attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder), the point still stands. Belle didn’t fall for him because he was handsome, did she?

🎼 Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Then somebody bends Unexpectedly Just a little change Small to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared Beauty and the Beast 🎶

Thanks for the rewatch Cody I never had it on DVD or VHS for me. But the first time I ever saw it was when my old friend had her sister over to watch it and I didn’t remember a whole lot of it. 18:10 Judge Frollo your thinking of!

Should watch 2014 “the book of life” literally see nobody react to it and it got such unique animation and is such a beautiful movie. Think you would love it

When I was little , I saw beauty and the beast on ice , that scene had got me sad, when he reveals the prince, I stood up on the chair and screamed out on top of my lungs. I said he’s alive he’s alive.

i definitely love the edits done here, its amazing, oh idk if u got it but when he said broke dont fix it it was in reference to the baroque style of architecture in the 17th century. and the funny thing to think about is as u said 10 years this castle has been here with the beast and NOW he'll come after them in the night lol. i love the mob song tho

Since you asked: I'd personaly would really like your reaction to the live action version! (But I'm also in the smal minority that likes the live action more than the animated original xD) For example, I really liked the historycal acurasy in the live action set and (most of) the cotumes! It's never a requirement for me, but a really cool bonus if it's a present detail ^^ It also answeres some neat little questions, like "how did no one know about the castle?"

There's also a theory about how a bunch of Disney Princess movies are related and this is actually related to some non Royal movies because this is just before the French run is once when you know the French royals would be killed so the story is safely to England and the great great granddaughter or whatever is Jane from Tarzan because she has a tea set that matches the one that Mrs Potts and Chip turned into and there's some other connections theorized with like Frozen and there's a some stuff that apparently happened like before and after like relating to other Disney Princess movies but that's I think the clearest connection is they fled to England because of that tea set because Jane had it in Tarzan and she's a brit

This is my dad's favorite Disney movie.

Ok, wait one minute! I'm literally watching ur Lion King video as I type this, and then THIS pops up! Also, idk how it started, but it became like a tradition fir me to watch this movie during Christmas time

This is really one of the best disney movies. period. I would really love it if you do the remake reaction. I loved it more than the lion king remake. but also, did you know there was another beauty and beast Christmas movie, cody? it's called Beauty and the Beast enchanted Christmas, which is one of my favorite Christmas movies ever.

the music, the characters, the animation, this movie is perfect, I cry everytime

I’m planning on seeing Beauty and the Beast in theaters, the original version, I wasn’t able to see it because I was born in 98, and this came out in 91! I’m case you were wondering Disney is re releasing 8 of their movies back to theaters, they already did Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl, Toy Story (last week to this week) Frozen starts this Friday to August 17, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST STARTS 18!!!!! I’m planning on seeing it the August 21!!!!

Thank you so much for this reaction! I totally agree that I could see you as Lefou Cody. I got a chance to play the role of Maurice back when I was a sophomore. Yes I highly recommend you react to the 2017 live action remake. There’s a lot more details, a lot of character development, and the new songs go perfectly with the film. Also if you didn’t know in the original script, there’s a deleted song called Human Again; it takes place between Something There and Beauty and the Beast. During the musical number the servants work together to clean up the castle and prepare for dinner as Belle and the Beast read her favorite book. It’s revealed the Beast had forgotten how to read and how it could bring comfort and joy. As Belle teaches him to read, she asks him to accompany her for another dinner. If you wanted to see more Angela Lansbury I must also recommend Nanny McPhee which also costars Emma Thompson. #BestDisneyLoveStory #RIPAngelaLangsbury 👩🏽👹🕯🕰🫖☕️🌹🥀💛💙❤️

The funny thing is if you guesstimate Beast’s age when he was turned, he was a little kid, which makes the curse a little cruel in context, especially considering it effected all the personnel too. Ah well, still a great movie.

I would recommend watching the remake of Beauty and the Beast. It’s my favorite Disney remake, and even if you don’t like it I feel like you have to appreciate all the hard work the creators had to put in to make a movie about a monster and living furniture into a live action movie. Plus it adds a little more backstory to the Beast and even mentions Belle’s mother.

I loved the remake. the Broadway musical added a new song for the beast and the live action one added a different song for the beast which I think I like better. Definitely give it a watch.

12:30: The real question is how did Phillippe know where to find Maurice. He never approached the castle until Belle brought them there. Maybe they followed the trail left by Maurice and the wolves.

4:39 Man I’ve been to Montreux hundreds of times, nice city on the side of lake geneva, calm and peaceful, expensive too I mean that’s literally Switzerland in a nutshell lol Though u do gotta love the food down there too

I think what’s really crazy is the rose wilts and the transformation becomes permanent on his 21st birthday and I think they said it’s been about 10 years since they’ve been cursed, so that means the beast was 11 years old-

If you pause Gaston’s fall right before it shifts to the below shot which shows the river in the canyon you can see a skulls in his eyes. Apparently that was added to erase any suspicions people had that he could’ve somehow survived the fall.

Fun fact did you know that belle’s design of the character was based on Dorothy from the Wizard Of Oz with how they designed her it’s true.

In the live action film there a some things explained as to why nobody noticed the castle. Couple of plotholes are filled in. Really liked that about the live action. This is my favorite disney movie, the message, the music. I have a glass cabinet with a lot of beauty and the beast stuff❤️🤭🥰🥰

it's always such a pleasure to watch your reactions, whether it be a rewatch or a first watch. and yup you should definitely watch the live action/remake! i remember watching it years ago in the cinema and just being prepared to hate it bc i don't like remakes, but i actually really enjoyed it!

You know, I think the sorceress was a villain in this story for turning an 11 year old into a beast because he wouldn't let a complete stranger stay in his castle.
