Based On - Beauty and the Beast

[@willlyon7129]

I like the Beast in the orignal story, he's kind and miled manner. Other than just being an abusive prick in the Disneyfied version. The story's message is learning to accept one's personilty than judging appearances. Not just some woman's fantasy of taming the beast

[@maxtull21]

I agree!

[@giancarlonealmaru7303]

Umm gaston was not real in the original story..

[@forcedtohaveahandle]

Ace_Lupin Da3rd k

[@TimothyCHalversonArt]

I actually love both versions.

[@Rose-xm4og]

Timothy Halverson same, I've read the original story when I was younger and I've loved the book.

[@aFangirlsVideoMania]

The original, original (the Greek myth it’s based on) is also very good

[@franks8010]

Beast never killed Gaston. After Gaston stabbed Beast, he lost balance and fell to his death.

[@looneywoman]

Frank S He *almost* killed Gaston, but spared him at the last minute. Naturally, Gaston rewarded his kindness in typical fashion; in other words, no good deed goes unpunished. ((sigh)) Oh, well...

[@willlyon7129]

Or pride comes before you're downfall

[@looneywoman]

Will Lyon LOL...exactly!

[@eleanorhogan8643]

You are absolutely right, I have always noticed that, technically Beast did not kill Gaston, Gaston just falls to his death.

[@PrincessAries86]

You probably already know this but "Belle" means "Beauty" in French. Hence the name and they always call her Beauty in the story because the youngest daughter is called "Beauty" so her name was probably Belle too.

[@justnoob8141]

PrincessAries86 that really pun... I think?

[@courtneysheffield2950]

The Original Beauty and the Beast is great but the Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast is great and wonderful.

[@brookehammond410]

Beautiful and AWESOME! I loved the classic vision a little bit more. Just a suggestion does Mulan have one? XD I'm loving all of these!?!

[@TheWeepingDalek]

mulan is based off a real person not a book

[@lisikeleidaveta263]

8th wonder of the world,really mulan is a real person?

[@BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

Well, possibly, but more likely not. From Wikipedia: "The story of Hua Mulan is treated more as a legend than a historical person." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Mulan

[@paranoia_jewel3156]

There is this one where she comes home to find her father dead and mother re married and Is forced to (you know what probably) with this other dude

[@GorilkaCore]

Brooke Hammond It's based of a ballad

[@donnam592]

Thank you for this! I just watched it with my 15 year old daughter (who is named Belle!). The original version is just as beautiful as the remade one, but we understand why they made the changes they did.

[@nasmahdi6855]

Am I the only one that was actually told the original story?

[@EmmaBonn96]

Thank you. I would never have experienced the original if it wasn't for this.

[@Esmeralda2diamon]

I like the original better. It is som much deeper story and way more interesting. But I love the disney movie also.

[@willlyon7129]

The orignal story of Beauty and the Beast had way much better moral, that it's not what's on the outside but the inside, not about a woman's fantasy about changeing you're man's personality.

[@ForeignTongues]

Will Lyon Belle didn't change the Beast. Belle brought out the side of him that no one else saw. No one else saw it for so long because he let himself become like his father. Belle brought out the best in him, made him feel like a human again, not a cursed spoiled brat who followed his father's footsteps. She did not change him. She brought him back. Gave him a life worth living. Gave him hope and love. She saw what others did not. She saw Adam. Not a beast.

[@dakotaboswell9246]

if you do anymore like these, you should title them "Let me Ruin your childhood" X3

[@ThingsAndStuffVids]

Dakota Boswell haha...I promise the next one isn't going after your childhood. :P

[@receptionist1620]

+Dakota Boswell hahaha

[@tresmariasrevestir]

Dakota Boswell LOL

[@Lady-parfait]

Dakota Boswell nahhhh the originals are not that bad

[@AntiFaGoat]

Nah. It makes your childhood more happy by comparison.

[@Gigi-kp1cj]

Do the hunchback of Notre Dame next.😄

[@justnoob8141]

Giselle Ramos Disney:that hot girl is gypsy daughter and survive to the end along with humpback dude Original:not black and french protitute daughter and get hang and humpback dude kill that bishop and strave to dead on her corpse DONE!

[@nhlfan1001]

I'm surprised the Disney version sounds darker than the original

[@everygorgeousmoment]

Honestly, the original is so much more interesting. I kinda wish the live adaptation was more like the original.

[@niekpinoy93]

Oh dang this is the abridged version this is not the complete full story the unabridged version is way more complicated and weirder but in a good way in the original villeneuve's version "The Beast, a prince, lost his father at a young age. His mother had to wage war to defend his kingdom, and left him in the care of a rather evil fairy. This fairy attempted to seduce him as the prince became an adult. When he refused, she transformed him into the beast until someone would agree to marry him without knowing his past or that he was intelligent. In a neighboring kingdom, Beauty is the daughter of a king and a different fairy. Beauty's mother broke the laws of fairy society by falling in love with a human, so she was sentenced remain in the fairy land and Beauty was sentenced to marry a hideous beast when she grew up. After Beauty's mother disappeared from earth, the evil fairy unsuccessfully attempted to take Beauty's life and marry her father. Beauty's aunt, another good fairy, intervened and changed Beauty's place with the dead daughter of a merchant for Beauty's protection, then placed the Beast in a magically hidden castle until Beauty grew up."

[@TylerRakstis]

Though the part about Gaston and the Enchanted objects were actually inspired by the John Cocteau version in the 1940s, which other than the fairytale, this film was the other inspiration to the Disney film. Interestingly originally Beauty and the Beast was supposed to be more closer to the fairytale when they did a story-reel when George Purdum was originally director.

[@davspe7668]

The original story was written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. Jeanne-Marie rewritten and shorten the story too a more popular version.

[@artandme_]

Belle actually has a name in the original fairytale. it is a French story and Belle means beauty in French, but it is also a name!

[@karmalexys]

i love the original one better it has more added to the plot. it's really not as bad as other classic tales.

[@TotalNoobAtEverythin]

That moment when The Bride Of Discord is more true to the story than Beauty And The Beast

[@rainevermore4683]

I loved's andrzej sapkowski take on what I believe to be a version of this story. Basically some rich kid got involved with with bad people and eventually ended up being cursed by some sorceress, turning him into a tusked bear monster. He still kept his humanity however, and through strange circumstances(I think that he saved a merchant or somethin'), he ended up being a guardian for unwedded virgins in a magical house and a vampire girlfriend. It's pretty complicated, just read "the last wish"

[@victoriaa7128]

I really enjoy both Disney's and the original version of the story. I like how in the original story Beast made his feelings known and although Beauty thought him to be kind and gentle, she just couldn't get past his appearance. I think it makes the moment when she realizes she loves him even more special. However, the originality of the characters in the Disney version makes the story even more fun and special as well. Both are awesome in their own ways!

[@ellaida123]

If you're curious there is russian version of this story called "The Scarlet Flower" (Аленький цветочек) by Aksakov. *one of my favorite books in childhood

[@kathrynwatkins9235]

Belle kind of reminds me of my myself! We both like books, and we both moved to new places and find how life can different when you're somewhere new.

[@disneyrules7808]

Belle was originally going to have sisters in the movie, but they were ultimately cut from the film by Linda Woolverton, because she felt that they wouldn't be confused with Anastasia and Drizella from Cinderella.

[@grodriguez7225]

This is so cool! By the way there is a documentary about a historical figures that inspired, Beauty and the Beast! I recommand it!

[@Mizu--Kitsune]

Well I like both versions I felt sad about Lumiere , Cogsworth and others weren't exist in real story ; - ; These versions has happy ending at least Beauty and the Beast is one of my fav princess movie of all time FOREVER!! whatever what Nice video man!

[@kayleigh35]

Beauty and the beast is still my favourite Disney film but now I want to read the original book sounds great

[@steshka1015]

I guess I heard when I was a kid, partially this original version before, that she has sisters...I forgot it somehow as I grew up. Though it's fun to see the enchanting characters / talking object, I like the concept and values of original story.

[@willlyon7129]

Sibling rivalery is quiet commmon in these stories, the older siblings are envious of the hero or heroine's good fortune and fail to attempt to performe several tasks because of their selfishness and idleness, and of cource suffer horrible fates. I felt kinda of sad how Belle or Beauty's Sisters were left out in the Disney movie.

[@imsobroke3577]

Will Lyon Well think about it, they were supposed to be included but they were scrapped out since it would have been too close to Cinderella.

[@dreamdarts6401]

i remember reading the original when i was little, and i absolutely loved it; it didn't really seem very sad or dark though, too bad i don't really know what happened to the story book... i never even saw the movie before reading the book

[@domeniqueamberreyes5627]

WOAH, TAKE THAT MOMENT WHEN BEAUTY'S FATHER IS LEAVING AND ASKING HIS DAUGHTERS GIFTS... In the live action, (yes, the new movie) before Maurice leaves, he asks Belle what will he bring home. *SHE ASKS FOR A ROSE*. But a WHITE rose so.... close enough? Belle said he always brings her a rose every year. So, as promise, Maurice will give Belle a white rose when he comes back home. At the Beast's castle, he dosen't know who is the owner and since it was winter *IN JUNE* he felt chilly. So inside he saw some food that he thought it was his because for the damn hospitality, and obviously, since there were magical talking houseware there, Chip moves and.... *OBVIOUSLY SCARES HIM AND RUNS AWAY THE CASTLE DUHHHHH* He almost forgot but luckily not, Belle's requested rose. So he saw some roses (white) and he picked *JUST ONE* and just about to go away the castle until the Beast shows up and *THROWS MAURICE INTO THE DUNGEON AND BELLE TRIED TO RESCUE HIM AND BLA BLA BLA* (so clearly the similarity there.... is just..... I can't mostly explain you can see it)

[@XonyMudd]

Beauty & the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies as well, and I am so glad that the live action preserved the story of the animated movie. I suspect that the original fairytale was based on the myth of Eros and Psyche. Psyche's beauty arose the jealousy of the goddess, Aphrodite who sent her son, Eros to make her fall in love with the homeliest looking man he could find. However, he fell in love with her. Eros was called the beast neither the gods nor men could resist.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Actually, the fairytale is based on the real marriage of Petrus Gonzalvus and his wife Catherine Raffelin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2WUaoKaeLycfpY

[@shadowwright3232]

Every non-Disney version I have read of this fairy tale, Belle was basically forced to stay at the castle or else either her father or herself would be slain. Every video I have seen supposedly covering the origins of this fairytale has avoided mentioning this at all and how this colors the relationship that develops between the Beast and Belle over time being akin to stockholme syndrome with Beast trying to buy Belle's affection and love with wonderful gifts.

[@ChelseatheCreativeFox-pc2xz]

I know, I read through the tale myself again before and when I read that the Beast will kill Beauty's family if she doesn't stay at his castle. The book established that he was kind and mild-mannered and yet he went off telling that he'll do that? That's a wrong turn coming out of him. 😬😬😬😬😬

[@waspinator5361]

Does the original explain how the Beast became what he was from his human form?

[@willlyon7129]

I think Beauty's tears heals him

[@liloboy911808]

I remember seeing a cartoon version of the Beauty & the beast back in the 90s. Too bad they did not add it to the real life version played by Emma Wonson

[@samtbenjamin]

0:44 I used to have this amazing fairy tale treasury book and that illustration was on the front cover and I am dying to know who illustrated that breathtaking picture!!!! Unfortunately I have lost my fairy tale treasury book and i cannot for the life of me find it on the Internet so far so if anyone knows the name of the illustrator please reply!!!!!!

[@jenncampbell469]

Walter Crane, I think. I'm not completely positive, but it said that was the illustrator on Wiki.

[@willlyon7129]

Can you do Frozen/Snow Queen?

[@LittleLaurene]

My favorite always has been the version in 'Britannica's Tales Around the World'. very close to the original story

[@iamclassicforlife]

Very nice. Got yourself a new subscriber! :)

[@angelojoshuaandeo9884]

Thank you for this, dude!

[@jspitty2011]

there is a cartoon movie just like the original story. when you were telling the story I could picture the cartoon and is was like hey I know this story, but the only thing different in that movie is the sisters don't get turned to stone.

[@rjred1861]

I prefer Disney It was more violent and I like the talking furniture that was cool

[@Keenan035]

Could you do one on The Black Cauldron?

[@rebeccascholtz1174]

The original story sounds a lot like the Greek myth of Psyche. I think I heard somewhere that it actually was based on the myth but I'm not sure

[@kitsflame1432]

Rebecca Scholtz Eros and Psyche.

[@BooBop1987]

Nice Video Man!

[@Frredster]

Doesn't it take about a month to starve to death? (Granted, the beast wasn't, obviously, human, but the concept is the same). He may have given her a week to come back so he wouldn't die, but he should have been able to survive for a lot longer than ten days with no food (as cruel as the idea may be).

[@solarhailey]

saw the new one two days ago and cried my eyes out

[@microwars6981]

Also it does relate to the story of Petrus Gonsalvus look it up!

[@alyxransoMMM]

this is a much better story! like a much better version that i wana see in live action.

[@beatleslennon220]

If you like the original story...the film La Belle et la Bête by director Jean Cocteau is fairly close to the original story of Beauty and the Beast. And Disney based their movie on it. It's beautiful and better than the Disney version in my opinion.

[@theunfortunategeneral]

6:09 whats that? A swinehead with dokeyears Elepant tusks and trunk? Nice combo dont get me wrong.

[@CoolMart1992]

Interesting facts on the original fairytale.

[@inezhiggiston7225]

You should do Pocahontas. (Spoiler) in the movie she falls in love with John Smith than in Pocahontas 2 they "kill off" John smith to make it historically correct and she falls in love with John Ralf. The real Pocahontas married John Ralf

[@karmalexys]

make more of these!! make one of Mulan!

[@RivoréeRivorée]

Hello, what is the true name of the song ?

[@ViciousAthletics]

make more please!!!

[@ThingsAndStuffVids]

Think I just might. :)

[@theangrybunyip482]

ThingdandStuff beauty and the beast is actually based on the story of Saint Martha and the ceratopsian dragon known as Tarasque

[@ThomasK96]

ThingsAndStuff do the phantom of the opera

[@marnistone6153]

Make one for "Hunchback of Notre Dame"!

[@ThomasK96]

Marni Stone I can tell you now the book is much sader then the movie I prefer movie over the book movie so underappreciated it goes right up there The Lion King Beauty and the Beast

[@myak2010]

Honestly I loved both the original and the Disney version

[@loreleilapis6976]

could you please do on based on The Black Cauldron

[@willlyon7129]

Better yet, do Snow Queen/Frozen

[@PolevayaMysh]

@Will Lyon Frozen is basically a completely different story that's merely inspired by the Snow Queen. So I don't think there's even a point to compare them.

[@courtneysheffield2950]

Even Disney's version of Sleeping Beauty both of the original stories she becomes pregnant and gives birth after being raped and also she becomes married in the other version she is a sex slave. The Disney Version of Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty is very great and wonderful.

[@brandyloutherback9288]

I like the Disney's version of Beauty, the original was too perfect to be likable.

[@Matthew-qy7op]

Brandy Loutherback does this reveal your own character to be like the older daughters?

[@brandyloutherback9288]

Haha, probably!

[@andrewcabral963]

Beast didn't kill Gaston he just lost his balance and fell to his death.

[@1dareu2mov3]

Why did you skip the prologue in your overview of the movie?

[@Motherlou]

I would actually like to see this virstion of the story

[@alphamegazulu6654]

I was expecting WAY worse... But, actually the original story is pretty tame compared to OTHER fairytales...

[@rainevermore4683]

Oh, the original is actually pretty good

[@henzcarltupas328henzcarltu2]

The three bimbettes are Belle's stepsisters in the original story

I LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER!!!

[@slushdog1012]

Well. Shit I actually thought that this would be depressing and scare the shit out of me like the other original versions But no I love this one

[@eliotluna6961]

this is based on the abridged version of La Belle et la Bete

[@srsgas1]

Belle is my favorite princess

[@microwars6981]

Bella her name in the story is actually Bella!

[@thechesirecatsmom]

You know Belle is the odd one in town because she is the only one who wears blue

[@niyaedwards1062]

Yuri on ice #viktuuri Close.Belles dress shows how different she is from everyone.

[@21TheSavant]

The original is not a bad storyline except... thers no explanation as to why ther is a beast in the first place like why prince Adam was turned into a beast hehe

[@carissacarlson1418]

Well, in this version, there isn't. But in the very origanal version (since the version he talked about was basically an abridged version of the origanal), the Beast's mother was a fairy warrior queen, who went off to defend her kingdom. She left him with an ancient fairy nanny while she was gone. As the Beast grew up, the nanny found him rather hot, proposing to the teenaged prince. Obviously turned off by someone who he saw as a grandmother having the hots for him, he refused the offer. Angered by this, she transformed him into a beast as punishment for turning her down. So yeah, he was turned into a beast because an old woman wanted fuck him. 🤢

[@petergriffin8906]

I prefer the original

[@CoolMart1992]

Are you looking forward in watching the new live action movie with Emma Watson.

Because it's more or less adapting the 1991 animated film.

Man, Disney sucks. Like in their film Jungle Book, they cut so much from the book away....its just a fragment of it.
