Actually...to be fair Maria and the beast have more believable chemistry than any other of the Beauty And the Beast knock off couples. Even if its only on screen for maybe less than 10 minutes.

[@MrsXanatrix]

The anime is actually based on a Brother Grimm fairy tale called "The Summer and Winter Garden". It was pretty much a watered down version of The Beauty and the Beast (many of the plot points the anime glosses over, were also glossed over in the story), which is why the Grimm Brothers decided to remove the tle fro their book from the second edition onward.

[@StarlightPrism]

Since you want more versions of this story to give special meaning to the rose... I want to see a version where the Beast breeds and cultivates flowers, and he finally has the PERFECT rose to show in the upcoming competition, and that's why he's mad when Beauty's father takes it!

[@Dragonage2ftw]

That'd be great.

[@rattis]

That's pretty much a plot-point in the live action Dennis the Menace mpvie from 1994, of all things. Mr Wilson is the guy with the perfect flower and Dennis is the one that fucks it up.

[@HiperPivociarz]

StarlightPrism In one of short Witcher stories, he meets this world's equivalent of the Beast, and he actually had many daughters stay at his pallace and grew close to them, because he heard true love's kiss would break his curse. Unfortunetly it didn't work, but the ladies had some fun and were very into his beasty appearence. The roses was just the pretext. In the end a monster vampire thingy, who came a lot to meet with him, turned out to be the one to truly love him, even though she pretty much slaughtered everything else, but she did give him a kiss after he impaled her to save Geralt. True love can sometimes be fucked up.

Personally, I don't think this one version was that bad. It's definitely the best one he's looked at so far. It showed their relationship grow over time, and it kept the more stylized fairy-tale style of storytelling (the quick pace, the narration, etc) and so its quirks seem to fit much better than in the other, longer versions (save for the Disney one, of course).

[@mastermarkus5307]

The Jean Cocteau one is still my favourite, but it's not animated.

[@ninavale.]

Well, the series, in general, was decent. I remember really liking some of their versions of the tales. I really liked the one about a goblin witch in the woods and Snow White. I also liked Cinderella. It was sweet and updated for a modern audience with the prince recognizing her by face. I say a modern audience because the story does make sense in a historical setting(candlelight, clothing and make-up, her shoes being made to-an-inch her size since there were no standardized mass production sizes). and this Beauty and the Beast is kinda nice with the sisters not being total jerks like they are in a lot of other stories. The animation is also better than Golden Films and Good Times. It has this nostalgic anime style you find in Sailor Moon or Inuyasha.

[@ginogatash4030]

the english dub ruined this, i'm pretty sure that opening song wasn't in the original japanese dub, also they might have added stuff like the narrator and such, also seing how it was rescored, it's likely the original score was leagues better, kinda like DBZ. (and since this is the composer of the OCEAN dub and not Falcouner, i can say that without causing a Kikuchi vs Falcouner flame war)

Once upon a time, a reviewer lived in a little boy's toy room. Although he had every collectible his heart desired, he wanted more. What more did he want ? I don't know. But one day, an old hag came to his door and offered him a terrible Disney Beauty and the Beast knock-off. The reviewer turned the old hag away. But the hag begged him to take it, for she wanted to rid herself of the knock-off movie. But when he dismissed her again. The old hag turned into enchantress who was a former customer for Disney knock-off movies. The woman saw that the reviewer had no love for Disney knock-off movies. As a cruel joke she cursed him to review terrible Disney knock-offs. If he found and reviewed the worst Disney knock-off, then the spell would be broken. If not he would be doomed to review Disney knock-offs for all time. As the months past, the reviewer fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever review the worst Disney knock-off.

1:45 - I only found out recently, but it was technically adapted from 'The Winter Rose', which is the Brother Grimm's version of Beauty and The Beast, and it does feature things that were shown in the anime, such as the garden being half covered in snow, while the other was warm and green, beast actually coming to take beauty by force, beauty's father dying, and beauty's sisters not being mean.

[@brandonspain12345]

Believe it or not, Brothers Grimm DID work on a variant of Beauty and the Beast from part of their collection called "The Winter and Summer Garden" where the youngest daughter asks for a rose in the middle of winter and finds one in a garden that's half eternal winter and half eternal summer. After making the deal with the Beast, he doesn't tell his daughters about anything that happened. 8 days later, the Beast appears and takes the youngest daughter away. When she returns home, her father is ill as she can't save him, which he dies. She stays longer for her dad's funeral and when she returns to see Beast, he's buried beneath a heap of cabbages. (Sounds familiar?) This tale was in the Brothers Grimm's collection's first addition in 1812. But because the story was too similar to it's original French story, they omitted it from later editions.

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics use to air on Nick Jr. back in the day, which I used to watch as a kid in the late 80s & early 90s! Would love to see Phelous review more of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

((Wishes so hard that Dingo made a "Beauty and the Beast")))

[@jcee1882]

Oh gosh no please...I'd HATE to imagine a Beauty and the Beast 'film' by Dingo pictures. Thankfully, it never happened, but still!

[@burntgrahamcracker2866]

Which would be uglier the beauty or the beast?

[@nerdcontrol22]

No contest they'd all be hidious

[@boomzilla86]

sure. why the damn hell not?!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Let's launch a kickstarter to fund Dingo to produce one!!! I'm sure they won't need much!!! I'll toss money in!!!

[@rpcvliz]

If you're going to cover more versions of BATB, then I hope you get to the one with Christopher Lee as the "Gaston" role and the Beast who looks like a furry!

[@jcee1882]

I always thought he looked more like a Yorkshire Terrier with Chewbacca. In fact, whenever THAT beast appeared on screen, my sis would make these random Wookiee noises XD

4:27... They live in an IHOP? 4:42... "Buy me a beautiful dress", "Buy me shoes, be sure to get the latest style, because we're sick of cosplaying as pilgrims!" 11:53... "The poor Beast was sad." Um, WTF, plummy-voiced narrator guy?!?! By all means, reserve your sympathy for the jerk who forcibly took a girl from her home all because of a rose! Let's just ignore the poor girl who is beside herself with fear and grief! You suck, Narrator Guy! 12:04... "He was startled by his own hideous reflection." So the Beast had a preternatural ability to avoid reflective surfaces? 13:28... "Maria felt so much happiness, that she forgot all about the Beast's repulsive looks, but I'm not going to let you, the viewers, forget, for I am Narrator Guy, and I'm the worst!" 17:50... And with the power of love, the Beast turned back into a Cossack. 19:14... At least the sisters didn't turn into statues like in other versions. 19:21... Snarking aside, that shot is actually quite lovely. I remember the show "Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics" from my childhood, and it was fun to hear Phelous's take on it. Really, it's probably the best version he's reviewed so far in terms of animation quality and the relationship between the titular characters (at least we see their romance really develop, not like Gaspy McAirhead and Warthog/Goomba Hybrid).

[@DraculaCronqvist]

A very decent rendition of the fairy tale, in all fairness. Loads better than all the other version Phelous has reviewed. At least, it's pleasant to look at thanks to the artstyle.

[@vjpearce]

1:18 Nippon animation also did the animation for Around the World with Willy Fog, which also had the same narrator, Theodore Lehmann as well as Cam Clarke doing the most terrible French accent you'd ever hear.

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofaa115]

Old Man is such a hypocrite. Maria's dad might say violent things (in Phelous's version) but at least he never actually tried to manipulate/ pressure her to sacrifice herself for him like Old Man did. Maria's dad tried to keep the Beast away from her, and sans stealing the rose he didn't do anything close to as obnoxious as what Old Man did in the castle.

[@MforMovesets]

After 2 weeks without a computer I was like: Damn, now I wanna watch some Phelous. And there it is.

[@WinterSteele]

Omg, this is such a blast from the past! "Grimm's Fairytale Classics" was a staple of my childhood. I've tried to track the series down since then, but have not had much luck. The fact that you were able to acquire this gives me hope. I wonder if the entire anthology is available somewhere??

[@phelous]

I just happened upon this VHS at a Goodwill so I'm not sure how many got a release like this. From what I can tell there was a Volume 1 of some of these episodes put on DVD over here but they never made a vol 2. They might have come out in the UK though.

[@smb-c3po]

Phelan, notice me!

[@WinterSteele]

Thanks for the info! I will have to look into that DVD compilation. Too bad the full series wasn't released, but I'll take what I can get, lol.

[@Acobjum]

If you have a video downloader/converter, you can download episodes of this show from KZbin. Also you can import the original Japanese versions.

[@aliccolo]

Same here! I remember this episode vividly from my childhood, how funny to find the review here. There are actually quite a few episodes of the show uploaded to KZbin. Just type in 'Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics' and you'll find a bunch of them! :)

[@Visiden]

The more stupid animations Phelous reviews, the more material he gets to use for the next. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

[@Sclasspsycho]

I actually really like the song at the beginning. I guess it just feels nostalgic even though I haven't seen this in my childhood.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Saban/Levy music is classic. 👌

[@80sdreamwave32]

Five years later this show get a Bluray release love this episode

[@puppymaroon964]

This is one of the better cartoons reviewed by Phelous. It doesn't drag out like some other cartoons and the animators did a great job.

[@ShanaReviews]

Saban went from producing shows like this, to dubbing anime like digimon or producing power rangers, to now being credited as a studio that's producing live action movies like The Stand-In

[@HORRIOR1]

Phelous reviewing bad cartoons and doing old man impersonation... this is my happy zone :)

[@RagamuffinBabyDoll]

Oh my goodness, I can't stop laughing! I adore Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics and Beauty and the Beast, so I was super excited when I saw the thumbnail for this review. This review is priceless!

[@misterroboto1]

Great video. In case you wondered: the reverse color piano is actually an harpsichord. Pianos were only invented in the 1700's, so they wouldn't exist during the time period the story was set in.

[@funnyscares595]

I actually used to watch Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics all the time as a kid. Technically, it was my very first anime.

[@kilderok]

Me too although not my first anime. That would be 1975's "Ringing Bell" (Chirin no suzu). It's good watch even today, but it is super depressing. It follows the 'no happy endings in anime' semi-trope.

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Same and one where they time traveled to Biblical times. I ain’t joking about the latter one.

[@TiroDvD]

"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

[@kritzkrieg14]

or funny. A funny dude appearance rate increases with it.

[@bloodrunsclear]

I like the opening scene at least. Looks like the love story between a very large Black Mage and a White Mage

[@tenkaistern5549]

1980s anime has its special charme to it.

[@LittleBlueTrain67]

The one thing I'll give this adaptation is that is has nice animation to look at.

[@LchanOtakudom]

That old Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics intro is so nostalgic..! I used to watch that show all the time when I was a kid! That narrator, too, I always loved his voice! Phelous, you're so awesome! I hope you will take a look at more of the GFTC episodes, they get pretty epic!

[@gracekim1998]

Indeed

[@gracekim1998]

my fave was the puss in boots one XD

[@sussybaka119]

I actually liked this version tbh, I grew up with this. Here in South America (or at least in my country) 'Grimm's Fairy tale classics' is a TV show every weekend the kids watch in public channels.

[@DraptorRonin]

No one is omitted from a terrible anime adaptation like GASTON!!

[@Tareltonlives]

No one was invented for the Cocteau film and then repeated in later films like Gaston!

[@MrWill9002]

14:55 Old Man: That...that is so upsetting! Those roses were beautiful too!! they're completely USELESS now!

[@takkycat]

The Story of the Crimson Flower, from the Russian animated movie series, Stories from My Childhood, is another Beauty and the Beast retelling you might want to look into. Another good one from that series (although not based on Beauty and the Beast) is The Magic Pony for some of the strange fairy tale elements!

[@moonkingdomify]

God I love the narrator in this. It's like he really needs to piss so he's doing his lines as fast as he possibly can, it comes off as extremely rushed but fucking hilarious at the same time.

[@bobalinx8762]

Has anyone noticed that Phelous’s Beauty voice sounds like Abridged Téa’s voice? 15:31 That line even sounds like something from YGOTAS!

[@sonicrush44]

Yesh! This was that work Beast was ashamed of being apart of before X-Men the Animated Series huh?

[@IronKnuckleKO]

Will you ever do the Disney kind-of-sequel to Beauty and the Beast with the evil pipe organ voiced by Tim Curry ?

[@brookearielsmith]

Oh my word, that reminds me that there is a Russian version of Beauty and the Beast and Tim Curry voices the Beast!

[@IronKnuckleKO]

Brooke Smith That would be the ultimate lead up to his review of the kind-of-sequel climax. o-o

[@atotalfiasco4213]

This comment has nothing to do with your comment, but I freaking love your profile picture and user name

[@IronKnuckleKO]

The Anime Obsessor If that's directed to me... Thank you?

[@atotalfiasco4213]

Lord Ghirahim Yeah, I meant you XD

[@TheaterPup]

This definitely takes me back to early anime on Nickelodeon. I actually like the look of this beast, having him wear the hood makes him even more unsettling. And it makes sense that he'd try to hide his face. Disney's Beast had a great voice actor, but the look was never scary.

[@kira37]

Update in that Grimms Fairy Tale Classics is now available on blu-ray including this episode
