on january 19, 2017, it was confirmed by both disney and céline dion—singer of the original 1991 "beauty and the beast" duet song, with singer peabo bryson—that dion would be performing one of the new original songs "how does a moment last forever" to play over the end titles. she originally had doubts about whether or not to record the song due to the recent death of her husband and manager rené angélil, who had previously helped her secure the 1991 pop duet. while ultimately accepting the opportunity, she said: "[the] first beauty and the beast decision was made with my husband. now i'm making decisions on my own. it's a little bit harder. i couldn't say yes right away, because i felt like i was kind of cheating in a way". she eventually felt compelled to record the song because of the impact "beauty and the beast" has had on her career. according to dion, "i was at the beginning of my career, it put me on the map, it put me where i am today". also, josh groban was announced to be performing the new original song "evermore" on january 26, 2017.
beauty and the beast (2017 film)
in the original tale, the beast is seen to be kind-hearted for the most part, and gentleman-like, with only an occasional tendency to be hot-tempered. disney's interpretation of the beast made him more constantly angry and depressed, due to the shame from his unkind actions which led to his transformation, and particularly his struggle of reconciling his hideous appearance with his inner humanity which made him feel hopeless about breaking the curse. supervising animator glen keane describes the beast as "a twenty-one-year-old guy who's insecure, wants to be loved, wants to love, but has this ugly exterior and has to overcome this." upon his reform under his love interest belle, his personality changes to refined and more even-tempered, while naive about the world at the same time.
