The Enchantress Secretly Tried To KILL Belle With The Wolves For This MESSED UP Reason...

The Enchantress Secretly Tried To KILL Belle With The Wolves For This MESSED UP Reason...| Beauty & The Beast
For the longest time, the Enchantress that cursed the Beast at the beginning of the iconic Disney movie has been shrouded in mystery with not much being known about her. However, that all changed when Serena Valentino released the second book of her Disney Villains series, “The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince.” Not only did the story give readers and fans more insight into the life of the Prince before he was turned into the Beast that Disney introduced him as, but we also learned a huge secret about the Enchantress. And with that secret came a very important detail about the roles that jealousy and heartbreak played in the curse that transformed that Prince on that fateful night.

Gaston knowing who the beast is doesn't make sense because when Belle shows everyone who he is through the mirror Gaston acted this was the first time he ever saw the beast. And there was no dialogue between the two when they fought that indicated that they knew each other

[@mode4801]

It doesn't make sense, but that doesn't really mattered to the writer. This writer was tasked (or decided) with turning villains into highly sympathetic characters; even if she had to turn neutral characters into awful people to do it (like Ariel's father).

[@redrogue2715]

@@mode4801 It could also be, because when they last interacted. The beat was just barely hitting the final form of the curse. So Gaston didn't recognize the animal. I don't think Gaston cares too much on how a beat/animal looks. As long as it can make a great story and trophy.

[@SilverJ17]

I also swore that a lot of time had passed since the curse. The castle was all rundown and everything, was it not?

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

I heard that the village as a whole was enchanted into forgetting that the castle and prince was there. Otherwise how could a village less then a days ride "forget" in 10yrs that it is there

[@strange1420]

I doubt either one was recognizable to the other after so much time. Gaston probably suspected the beast was squatting in his former friends abandoned castle

[@chsparkle]

Disney actually published some comics featuring Beauty and the Beast, mostly during Belle's stay at the castle before the spell was broken. But some were when she was a little girl, there were several occasions were the Enchantress turned herself into an animal and was watching her. In one case, to make sure little Belle and Maurice didn't stumble across the castle. It's implied she knew Belle would one day go to the castle but as a child, it was far too soon.

[@elcucy]

Really when the enchantress saw Beast on his hands begging for mercy and forgiveness she could have just have blessed him saying you going to Marry a beautiful woman one day and you show her kindness a give you a second time or she could have given the prince a playmate. A family you look abandoned I know you have suffered a lot since your mother died but you are 11. The beast was actually really young and would be around the same age as Belle. I just wish that Belle and her father would have arrived sooner. Since the Prince needed a fatherly figure to look after him. Poor beast he was practically still had the mentality and emotional state of a adolescent a young teenager. Maybe piano was a very hard subject for him and he got frustrated easily. He also would remember how the queen would love to play music on the piano. In the original take the enchantress secretly wanted to marry the prince but the prince did not treat her poorly but just rejected her. Only a woman pure of heart that would agree to marry me you are the that woman now the spell is broken. But no the enchantress was not as pure as heart and just got her desserts. Sometimes the evil fairy has a kind sister who is a maid to the prince helping Beauty getting. Helping her look past his appearance. The evil sister is saying putting a delusion hear the screams of woman who thought the beast was kind and were killed. The good fairy is saying Beauty do not be afraid and Beauty thinks there is another prince or man since she sees a painting and thinks the beast is holding him captive. But sometimes it's the own good fairy and no evil sister. In a original tale Beauty finds out her mother is a fairy and she leaves him to become a fairy her self. After breaking the curse.

[@orionparish9858]

Here's the massive hole in all this. The film clearly shows the prince turning the enchantress away at his own door. Only once she reveals herself does he change his tune. Unless Disney has confirmed the books are 100% canon to their movie, they're a separate timeline.

[@mode4801]

Yeah, these books are essentially fanfiction where all women are victims (even if they're the villains of the story) and the men are bad. All of the stories of these books have plot holes that are ignored or just explained with "trust me bro" logic. I wouldn't take them as canon.

[@marieangels6]

Agreed

[@The-Busy-Beeeee]

@@mode4801 well no, because the odd sisters are mostly the villains in the story, in this story the victim is actually the beast so that would be an incorrect assumption and in other books such as once upon a time, the series that goes along with the villains series in the beginning of the book it’s described how the beasts parents are to blame for locking away the witches and other magical creatures outside of the kingdom which is why there’s tons of disease and Paris just become desiccated and ruined. That is a false assumption

[@The-Busy-Beeeee]

@@mode4801 from what I’ve read anyways, if you haven’t read the books even a little bit then you definitely can’t say you know what the story is

[@Thkaal]

And yet all of this contradicts the first movie in which the prince was answering his own door and turned away somebody who was clearly dangerous

[@Mr.NoOneSpecial]

I believe Circe cursing the beast helped change him for the better, her "sisters" on the other hand took it too far.

[@lenabluejay1166]

Wait a minute... an enchantress named Circe... who is also a pig farmer...? Am I the only one thinking this may be the same Circe from Greek mythology? AND IF SO, WERE THE PIGS SHE WAS FARMING ACTUALLY PEOPLE SHE HAD TURNED INTO PIGS?!

[@SirSonic900]

I knew that name sounded familiar!

[@lassesgamekanaal]

Its definitely inspired by it.

[@everbooked]

Since the book is not canon to the movies, she doesn't have an official name. But she was named Circe in the books because of the Greek Goddess

[@kitarrah1422]

Nope. Not buying it. If you have seen The Enchanted Christmas, you will know that the prince was still a child (11 years old) at the time he was cursed by the enchantress. So, this book amounts to nothing but a fan fiction.

[@Ladywizard]

All these books are nothing but fanfic that Disney licensed

[@LoboxBlanca]

or watched the original and did the calculation. If they were like that for 10 years and the beast had to find someone before the last petal fell at 21, it suggests he was 11

[@hannahlarocco4699]

I really don’t think the prince from beauty and the beast should’ve been cursed. Just because he was rude doesn’t mean he should of been cursed to be a beast

​@@Annahg78 Unfortunately, Were some of them innocent, sure but Clocksworth and Lumiere, we get Lumiere who deeply fascinated over beautiful woman and Clocksworth was responsible for raising the prince and Mrs. Potts. Mrs. Potts said they could leave but then the prince would be truly alone and afraid if they abandoned him he might not change. Those who stayed were cursed along with him by there own choice. They chose to stay so in actuality they cursed themselves.

[@ngocanhnguyen5634]

well, you don't have to find true love to be happy, single people can be happy, too....

[@PsychoGamer2100]

At the beginning of the move it says that he was cursed 10 years ago and that the curse will become permanent upon his 21st birthday so he was 10 years old when he was cursed so he hadn't even gone through puberty yet let alone understand what it means to be in love and considering he is raised like a noble then in those times he would have been taught to see commoners as lesser than him. So either the Enchantress was a child with way too much power for someone her age or an adult who cursed a 10 year old child. No matter how much of a narcissist he was at the time he did not deserve to be cursed like that.

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

This is really making me want to read those book series even more. But despite who The Prince was in the past, he really did turn his life around when he met Belle. Love can make people do amazing things, such as changing their lives around for good. “Beauty and the Beast” has been one of my all time favorite Disney classics MY ENTIRE LIFE (the film was released one month before I was born) as well as one of my all time favorite love stories and NOTHING is going to ever change my mind on that!!

[@XxBrittany20xX]

It was also released the same year I was born. ^_^

The Odd Sisters were also mentioned in Disney's gargoyles, so it makes me wonder if there is some kind of connection 🤔

Well the odd sisters are part of Macbeth and since gargoyles had characters from Macbeth it would make sense on them being in the show

[@RabiezDeWorgen]

The pictures that Deluxe has been showing is from the Gargoyles fanart. The "puppets" are actually MacBeth and Demona. I just feel that since Disney now owns Gargoyles and so they are trying to cross all the universes using the odd sisters. The odd sisters being that were the most powerful/chaotic beings in that show. Edit: Disney did own Gargoyles already. Thank you Steven Higgins for pointing that out.

[@stevenhiggins3055]

​​@@RabiezDeWorgen what do you mean Disney "now owns Gargoyles", they're the ones that made the show in the first place.

[@tracygardner6318]

I will always go with Disne’s versions not the book versions some people have too much time on their hands to think about all the stuff. Gaston in the prince never knew each other in the movies. A lot of people need to learn to separate the books from the movies.

[@thunderpants3500]

If the Odd Sisters were aiding Gaston during the curse, whose to say thst they didn't enchant him when he exposed the enchantress's poor life to the prince prior to the wedding. I'd say they were jealous of their younger sister and manipulated her further after they helped him expose her poverty.

[@iloveblondy]

Circe is actually Royalty and a cousin of Snow Whites Father. Her name is Circe White, the younger sister of the Odd Sisters. Their last name is White and having Circe act as a pig farmer was a test to see if the prince truly deserved their younger sister, when he showed how he really felt, they gave him one last chance to make things right. He failed and was cursed

[@theeyeoftheyinyangs]

Honestly, this sounds like a great prequel to a already fantastic story. Loved how Circe wasn’t truly evil, but wanted to punish the Prince for humiliating her and breaking her heart. Also loved the idea that Circe’s sisters wanted the Prince to suffer greatly to the thoughts of death mostly because they thought it was equal punishment for what he did to Circe. And having Gaston and the Prince being somewhat hunting friends is a nice touch too. Explaining a bit of Gaston’s egotistical ways. I figured Gaston took up those ideals from the Prince in his younger years. Thinking Gaston should be adamant on what he wants, and would go to extremes to get it.

[@michaelwhitmire9015]

Circe is a goddess or witch depending if your reading the greek or roman version of the story,plus she turned men into animals in the Odyssey when odeseues came to her island.

[@dragovidd]

It was the Enchantress ' sisters. Not the enchantress.

[@xtreme1344]

Yeah I read the book too

[@cindyrobertson3780]

How?

[@erinsmith5706]

I understand the pain the entrantrest went through and I get why her sisters felt rage too but I'm so relieved that instead of keeping the curse and getting even she along with belles love allowed the curse to be broken and forgive instead and let the prince and Belle to be happy cuz deep down I think peace we all want somehow and that truly is a happily ever after is some kind of peace and resolution and I'm hoping we all experience that in life too

[@mandjinc.7036]

In a way, it was good that she put the spell on him because he still had learned his lesson and probably became a better ruler because of it. I wish there would be a story made abut Cersei after al of this saying if she found love. She deserves it after what she went through and that she decided to turn the beast back.

[@RikaMiarunua]

I wonder did chip and the others that received damage during the time changed , keep the damage when they were turned back or did that heal, and if not how gruesome would that place have been?

[@xDasMottex]

but wasnt the prince a young kid? only 12? and "Circe " was introduced as a grown woman? so there are two ways for this: she COULD be older than the prince this would make it weird OR she could be the same age what it would make even weird cause it would be a fight between kids.... i stick with the original explanation. He never knew her before, she came to his castle to test him, he failed she cursed him.

[@rowlandandrew9597]

So Beauty and the Beast the Disney 1991 version was one of my favorite Disney movies I probably wouldn't put it at number 1 or anything like that Maybe number 4 But man I was not ready the Enchantress background and how she had such a deep connection with Beast And I never would have thought the Enchantress would have sister and Tham binning a connection to Disney Gargoyles this is Disney live action movie I would love to watch but man the Enchantress need a big hug You should never treat a woman badly but a woman should never treat a man badly I there

0:32, jealous is fiercely protective and vigilant over people's rights and possessions

[@everbooked]

I've read this book and it's definitely one of my favourite books of all time, especially because I'm a huge BATB fan but unfortunately this book is not canon whatsoever because of a few reasons 1. The prince was supposed to be 11 when he was cursed and 2. The villain books connect to each other's story, Urusla was discussed in the book by the evil sisters. Since these movies and characters have different timelines it's quite impossible for them to be in one big story. For a canon and accurate backstory and lore for BATB, you can read the marvel comics which is considered true to the movies. The enchantress has been observing the prince for quite a long time and she decided that he deserves to be punished.

[@sailorearth2007]

But aren’t those books fan fiction not cannon? I mean it is an interesting theory but most of the fairytales Disney adapted had darker origins from the original sources and were altered to make them safer for kids to see

Disney has had this habit lately of playing with their characters to a point kf destroying them. I read what the person below said and I do vaguely remember there being a book like that when she w as child. The whole Gaston thing and the enchantress doesn't fit together very well. I liked the video just sad Disney allowed these books to mess with the story.

[@danielmalinen6337]

I don't like that book because it is in conflict with the sequel midguel movie 'Enchanted Christmas', where during the preguel flashback the prince celebrates his 11th birthday on Christmas Eve when the enchantress comes to interrupt the celebration and the young and spoiled prince acts really disrespectfully and contemptuously towards the old widow, as if the enchantress were just worthless trash and because the enchantress doesn't see goodness and good will in the prince's heart on Christmas Eve, she curses the prince and the whole castle on Christmas.

[@achilleasanastasiou4597]

Haven't read the book but by your description it definitely gives a darker vibe to the story (which I like) In my opinion he did deserve what happened to him in terms of the curse but also the odd sisters did take it too far by manipulating his life just so he couldn't be redeemed

[@BrotherWolf100]

Wow, this is huge! This sounds like it should be a prequel.

[@Raggmopp-xl7yf]

This story was always weird. 1st: A prince answering his own door? Would never happen! 2nd: He was a kid (10-11) when the enchantress curses him. Kind of a harsh thing to do to a kid! and 3rd: Why didn't the country-folk or surrounding kingdoms notice their sovereign was gone? i.e. the prince's parents.

[@readdescription4132]

I’m 20 and the thought of having to be forced to fall in love makes it all the more terrifying.

[@domidium]

Eh, I don't know. While I understand what the writer was going for here, I really don't think it works; both in regards to the original aim of the story, and the dynamic and composition of the characters themselves. Firstly, I always felt that the original aim of the story (at least to me), was that the enchantress was the subject of one of those classical fairytales where a mysterious fae tests someone (construed as angels in later years). And if these people failed their test, they'd be punished. Of course, if the person in question knew that their guest was an angel or fae, they would act differently than they normally would. But then, that's why it's a test, that they don't know and would act the way they normally would. Secondly, what the original story had in terms of its characters characteristics that they themselves had as people, in this book, is essentially written off as "a wizard did it". And that is a very dangerous literary route to take, as it can easily cheapen the actions of the characters that they originally took themselves and had in-character reasons for doing so by saying they were basically being mind controlled the whole time. "Oh no, it wasn't the intricate and complex dynamics of built upon likes, dislikes, vices and virtues of these well written characters that lead them to do what they did, it was really just this big bad we've never heard any reference to before who really did it." That's not to say I think this story couldn't work on it's own...just not in THIS story.

[@solereflection9284]

Very well put. There are too many disconnects and plot holes between the tellings that they don’t sound like the same story. This is not the kind of retconning that works in a functional way. Even without diving deep into the characters, the general basic behavior was ignored: the prince’s age and presumed high class upbringing (of which would not be wholly his fault for not understanding yet), the assumption of knowledge that was never confirmed as disclosed prior to the curse, the apparent absence of older figures around when needed, the fact that marriages amongst royalty or high class was arranged for reasons normally related to financial or societal gain/retention and not for love; we could list plenty more. The enchantress having incredibly petty and hateful sisters could have been an interesting angle, but not at the cost of pretty much literal character assassination. Just hearing the simplified synopsis of the story, it doesn’t sound like a proper add-on, but a complete retelling, and not a very creative one at that.

[@kyliekhan7255]

I wonder if Circe was also the goddess of witchcraft and magic

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

Very nice video. I've never heard of these books until now. They sound interesting. However, I feel like The Enchantress was a character who didn't need a back story. She didn't need any fleshing out. To me she was never good or bad, just a force of nature.

[@marieangels6]

The enchantress in the live action waited to the last minute for the last petal to fall and the enchanted objects to turn back. Belle was a nervous wreck how could she be so cruel to see how Belle was crying for her prince. She lived in the same town. Of course Belle's kindness of bread and jam did not win her over and she did not know the word paying it forward. She just made everyone including Gaston and the villagers think she was peasant. But she could have protected Belle and cursed Gaston or killed him from his evil advances freed the town make everyone remember their loved ones. What do people do if there king is cursed they start a rebellion and say why do we have to suffer the consequences of his mistakes. Should we all be tenderhearted to forgive others. We help the prince become a good ruler.

I’m not sure about Gaston knowing the beast that just seems too tidy. I don’t know it’s a bit of a stretch. Otherwise the rest of the ideas are a mix bag of good ideas and ideas a bit too tidy. The good ideas are good like the ones about the witches(sorry I can’t spell the E word) but the idea the good sister from them changed the beast back is a little unneeded, her bringing him back to life works but adding the changing back is her doing feels a bit like it’s taking some of the importance of the plot about true love away. It’d make more sense if she’d tried to do both but maybe she can’t at first. However the conditions of true love being met could open a back door to saving the beast’s life as he turns back, the good witch is able to bring him back. I’m just saying I think that might have made more sense.

do people just forget he was 11 years old.

[@RiverSprite30]

The problem is, traditionally, after he threw her away, no other man would marry her. She would be considered ruined for the village. So I do not blame her for placing the curse on him. I actually did something very similar to a man who hurt me beyond repair. The curse worked too well, unfortunately, and now he forever has the appearance of someone with severe chicken pox. I turned his ivory skin into a perpetual pustule burning pox upon every inch of his body. And it worked... shockingly well. To this day, he still suffers. I feel bad sometimes, but I designed the spell to lift once he learns genuine human compassion. I come from coal miner hillbilly stock, no hot water, bare floors, no shoes. My family was seen as "trash" because we were poor in a WV hollar and had a dirt floor. People in the village vandalized our property and spit on us and threw stones at us every time we would go to the market in the village. We were seen as less than garbage, simply because one of my ancestors was a "witch" and we were seen as unclean in the eyes of God and too poor to matter to anyone. But... I married well. I don't want to brag but, luckily, my siblings and I were gifted with beauty, and it helped us marry and get out of there. I know that isn't something to brag about, but when it's all you have... 10 years later... I now live in mainstream society, with a family, a house, and a career...but the witchcraft I was taught from my village will be with me forever, because the magic I was taught actually works. And no one knows my true origin story... I could have been Agatha Harkness in another life. And if anyone ever harms one of my children, I'll use the gifts and skills my old life gave me. But I keep it tucked away most of the time. 😉 Be careful, power lies in the most unlikely of places. And sometimes, the universe will humble you when needed...

Potholes galore. First one to get my attention is, how exactly does a poor pig farmer gain the learning to become an enchantress?

[@khaylinn9062]

As someone who knows the real version of this story this does not make sense. But than again, Disney made their own version so that the story was not so dark.

[@ryanakers1372]

It's an interesting new spin on the Beauty and the Beast story that has a very Greek mythology feel to it, but there are too many inconsistencies to fit with Disney's original movie.

[@Chronia]

Where is the footage of the Prince before he was turned into a Beast from?

[@efaristi9737]

the enchantress was named Circe? Wow, Serena truly dig deep for this one... Gaston knew the prince? That's... surprising. Wait, jealousy? She felt jealous about what? the prince didn't disregarded her for another woman, he rejected her because she was a peasant. How can you feel jealousy in a situation like that? Well, there's little chance Serena books are canon anyways. I prefer the original version, closer to legends where fairies and gods don't necessarily very personnal reasons to test mortals.

[@aspieangel1988]

The enchantress, gothel and the fairy godmother are the 3 sisters in the book. It’s sad.

[@CatGirlAlena]

The live action movie stank to high heaven.

[@Rachet87-yp7qq]

No it did not!

[@CatGirlAlena]

@@Rachet87-yp7qq the live action had a few good things but, the animated version was a million times better.

[@armorbearer9702]

Wait, how did Gaston win the Prince's respect?

[@drewlabourene]

Not sure how I feel about you using the Weird Sisters as the ‘Odd Sisters’, I know the ones you showed are also Disney, but my heart. Gargoyles and Beauty & the Beast fan, I am.

[@johnsantos507]

What? No. She would never do that.

[@adenshibuya5270]

Yeah... interesting back story, but it's not canon, so....

[@fionatsangarides6201]

No it wasn’t true because it’s says in the Disney said she comes to his door and he turns away which is why he was cursed !!!

[@ebonyknox7055]

Bro what's with the use of the three sisters from Disney gargoyles- like I'm sure there's other depictions of them... but spacificly from 1994 gargoyles show? Like are you going to do a theory on that show and this is foreshadowing?

[@Kairii-Kylie]

I love Serene but her books aren't Disney cannon

[@ArielComlyBOTDFlover101]

Sadly serving Valentino is not on any of Disney's cast crew lists for the animated movies like not at all involved. With the little mermaid. I looked through theorist and the credits. Her base is NOWHERE. people blindly believing she had something to do with them

[@kesha3789]

I had seen those sisters before don't tell me. I know this......That right they were in gargoyles!

[@SimplymeSVEN18]

When Greek mythology meets Disney...

[@numberonewithcheese]

I heard these books were not canon

[@luttara644]

it doesn't make sense. Mostly because the prince was like 10 when he was cursed in the original movie

[@brandonsmith1198]

I never went to book yet, so I don’t know

[@MotherFucker445]

So the video title is click bait because not only did she not sic the wolves on Belle because that was here sisters not her but your source is that non cannon glorified fanfic series called Descendants. Thanks for wasting my time.

[@briannahlabelle2458]

Yes he did but I don't like revenge taking at all especially if magically done

[@mmakreesekingjr2074]

No Prince Should have not been Curse because he was only 10 years old. I get it. He was a little s*** But let's be honest with ourselves if a old person comes to your house asking for you for a place to stay. You probably would've said the same thing. F*** off Stranger danger😂

[@alicatfelix5144]

Burh that just what old kin were like in 1800s

[@CesarACastillo]

Unless Disney has officially announced that this story is canon to their movie it’s just a story. I am doubly convinced that this is just a fan story because the imagery you used for the Odd Sisters suggests that B&tB ties in with another Disney property Gargoyles. This is ridiculous because there is absolutely no evidence within either forms of media that would suggest they share a world. There’s also the fact that Beast showed absolutely no signs of recognition when he first saw Gaston pointing his bow at him. Sure, he might’ve been depressed at the time but he should’ve shown some form of recognition if he saw an old friend. His servants (namely Mrs. Potts who saw Gaston had the mirror when the villagers invaded) would’ve also recognized the man as the peasant man their master had a relationship with at one time. Nothing I found while googling the canon information about this book’s tie-in with the movie confirms that this book is canon.

[@marileeromero8281]

The Three sisters are from gargoyles in 1992

[@cube9244]

Considering he was a kid, ya too far. What he needed was a lesson about humility then continue on with life.

[@h.s.l2503]

Was he 10 years old when he was turned into a beast?

[@heatherturner2366]

11

[@rebeccamyers3998]

Bro are we gonna gloss over the fact the Prince 2as was a child and rejected a complete stranger to enter his house knowing full well there were small children in the house and didn't want a stranger coming into his home or what?

[@alucardizukumidorya6739]

I believe the jealousy and rage was too strong granted I'd touter the person that hurt my family yes but I'd at least give them a chance to redeem themselves unless they killed my family then no redemption for them

[@omranhosan6897]

Yessss The prince deserved it

[@BonnieBurton-gf3gn]

Welcome to the real world I feel sorry for bail

[@jennifernguyen3688]

Wasn’t the beast 11 when he got cursed?

[@TheeStarryMeadow]

There is a big hole. Disney's Prince was 11 when he was cursed

[@readdescription4132]

For real. Everyone has an attitude at age 11.

[@tracygardner6318]

The books and movies are different. You cannot compare them. I’m getting so tired of seeing things like this you’re putting more thought into it then it needs. Enchantress is not jealous of bell. 🤦‍♀️
