the 30th animate disney classic be and without a doubt and one of the most famous disney classic and which be a good and a bad thing either and because it success tend somewhat to overshadow other very good disney classic ( often good than this ) . or maybe what happen be that this movie get the deserved attention and while others sadly do not have the same luck ( such a the rescuer and the aristocats and the fox and the hound and the many adventure of winnie the pooh and robin hood and others ) . that be the bad aspect of this movie success . so and a one can see and it not all rose . nevertheless and beauty and the beast be one of disney most original movie . to a point and it be every bit a creative and imaginative a alice in wonderland and except that it isn not as eccentric a that one . one thing that be very obvious from the beginning be that this be a french tale . it quite easy to understand that because all the character have french name . plus and they often use french word such a bonjour ( which mean good morning in french ) . lumière even use the word « sacré bleu » once . however and it not very clear the exact place of our story . all we know be that it somewhere in france . as much a i do not like all of the movie character and some of them be very charm . for example represent lumière ( the candelabra ) and cogsworth ( a clock ) and mrs. potts ( a teapot ) and chip ( the cute little teacup ) and belle and maurice ( belle father and who be also an inventor ) and philippe ( the horse ) . it funny that a horse be name philippe ( philip in french ) lol . belle be one of disney most beautiful chick and together with jasmine and ariel and the blue fairy . belle be also classy and charming and carefree and nonconformist and conservative and nice . all of this make her an interesting character and and above all and different from the rest of her village population and who see her a a strange girl because she like to read and also because she can not stand gaston ( unlike the rest of woman ) neither the idea of be his little wife . belle be appropriately name like that ( her name mean beautiful in french ) . gaston ( who be consider the villain of the movie ) be a character who get no culture at all and be the epitome of pure strength and no brain ( like biff tannen from back to the future ) . gaston be a tall and muscled and vain and arrogant and snobbish and chauvinistic guy with a heart of stone . on the other hand and gaston follower and helper and lefou and be more of a goofy guy than anything else and nearly like a comic relief . no wonder he be name lefou ( which mean the fool in french ) . monsieur darque be a strange man with a sinister appearance that make him seem to come from a terror film . for some child and he might be a bit of a creepy character . my favorite character be chip ( he be the cutest of all and besides and his natural sweetness and innocence help ) . however and lumière and belle come incredibly close to chip when it come to my favorite character of this film . the soundtrack isn not entirely spectacular and but the romantic ballad beauty and the beast be beautiful . it have 2 version . angela lansbury version be good and but the original one by celine dion and peabo bryson be extraordinary . a for the cast and it be brand new compare to older disney film and most of them do well . paige ohara and angela lansbury be among the best one and but those who steal the show be bradley pierce a chip and jerry orbach a lumière . jerry orbach give so much life and energy to lumière and with such a convincing french accent . the best part of the whole film be the famous ballroom dance sequence and which be wonderful and brilliant and very artistic ( the graphic also make it look incredibly close to a live action ballroom ) . generally speak and this film have the main ingredient of an animated disney movie represent great picture quality ( good design and background and scenery and color ) and very good animation and creativity and originality and some charming character and some romance and adventure and darkness and suspense and classic humor and so on . the prince ( that be and the beast a a human be ) almost look like jean michel jarre with that long hair . that say and his change of heart during the movie be amaze . from a person who be spoil and selfish and unkind and with an explosive temper and he become kind and gentle and even romantic . although the sequence human again be originally gon na be include in the movie and it be remove in the final version . it be recover for the dvd . yet and the version i consider the true one be the one without the sequence human again and even if that one be not officially the movie true version . but for me the true version be the one i know since 1991. it the way i always know it and so it make perfect sense .
