[@kyleallen7979]

Fun fact: during the song "Be our guest" Lumiere states that they've been trapped for 10 years. The Beast's transformation was set to be finalized on his 21st birthday. This means that the curse was put on him when he was 10/11 years old. This child had an old woman ask to stay the night. He was absolutely correct in saying no. It's called "stranger danger" and I feel so sorry for him. It also explains why he has poor table manners & doesn't read very well. This man needs school & therapy.

The 2017 removed this so to fix any error of this aging problem

[@rachelmcdonald7296]

It states by his 21st year, not 21st birthday, so I always interpreted it as his 21st year as a beast, that in the first 10 years the beast was hopeful that the curse would be broken but after that he became depressed and withdrawn as he had given up all hope. So going by this they were frozen in time; no one would age, which makes sense considering Chip is still a young child.

[@IMayOrMayHaveNot]

In the Diamond Edition DVD there's a segment in the Making Of addressing the whole age issue. They explained the "10 years we've been rusting" line in Be Our Guest was an oversight. When you remove the song's line off the picture, everything falls back into place: the portrait and stained glass portray him as a young adult as intended and chip still being a child makes sense, cuz they got frozen in time. The narrator does say "21st year" instead of "21st birthday".

Actually, The Beast doesn't have an official name. "Adam" came from an Internet rumor back in the early 2000's, but it's not actually his name. His official name is just "The Beast", sorta like how the prince in Snow White is just named "The Prince" and in Cinderella it's "Prince Charming". Source: I'm a Disney World cast member who gets asked this question frequently lmfao.

[@kerbyblanchard9832]

When watching this movie one of the saddest thoughts/theories I've come across is that slowly the Beast has been losing his humanity to the point that if he hadn't have been turned back he would have eventually forgotten how to speak. You notice this in how before Belle arrives he walks on all fours and roars and laps his food like an animal. He starts walking on two legs and eating properly the more time he spends with her.

[@altollie9035]

Holy shit you’re right. Beast/Adam had been so isolated from humanity that his own had started disappearing, the only other company he had was his servants and probably the animals in the forest.

The Beast is also a metaphor for someone living with AIDS. Howard Ashman was dying of AIDS at the time where people were misinformed about the disease and the homophobic agenda at the 1980’s-early 90’s didn’t help.

This movie is such a masterpiece. The expressions of every character really adds to their humanization (like the scene Belle takes her father's place as Beast's prisoner, we actually SEE how the beast is feeling about this. He looks sad and uncertain, he actually shows some remorse.). And you of course have the Beast's character development, which is great. Belle actually takes the lead with their relationship many times, showing us she WANTS to help him, and they bond over her teaching the Beast how to do things like read, be kind to animals, and to dance and eat food. The Beast changes himself for her happiness, even giving her a library for her to enjoy. He doesnt focus on the spell anymore, he loves Belle and just wants what's best for her- which included letting her go to her father by the end. This film is such a marvel that more people should be talking about!!

Hahahaha

[@solmare851]

That scene with Gaston's muddy boots on the book caused me to feel immense horror and disgust as a kid. This is one of my favourites too. And yes, taking to chickens is normal. I talk to dogs. Same thing. Also #SaveWelchysDebonairsmile. Okay, going to stop now. Too much good content to comment on so I'm going to summarize it. This video is *awesome* . Favourite video so far!🤣

[@Theravingranter]

The whole thing about Belle not eating ran through my mind as a kid and still does to this day. I watch this movie all the time and just say "Wait... you didn't eat a damn thing! Hungry my bum!"

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

This was in 1991, the first animated movie to be nominated in history to Best Picture in the Oscars. Something to value!

[@urmum630]

This movie taught me if I keep someone locked up for long enough they will eventually love me

[@lilyl3470]

Make sure to save them from wolves, gift them a library and release them when they ask for it and you've got it! 😉

[@littlemissmonster6969]

11:03 that was adorable 😭😭

[@Welchy]

😅

[@Cameron5043]

Okay. First things first. You are so right about the Subway cookies, my wife and I tend to get the White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut! They're all good though! Love, Love, *LOVE* this reaction! You are so on point with this. The grin on your face when Gaston died, also the snarl you emitted when Gaston stabbed the Beast... awesome! Yeah. When Beast/Eduard dies...I seriously lost it first time I ever saw the movie, and get choked up every time I've watched it since. Your reaction at that point was so POWERFUL! *Well done!* Your humming at the end with the theme song, yo people! Welchy can sing; seriously! This is going to be one of those reactions that I rewatch, because it just makes me happy! Thank you, buddy! Was awesome!

I loved this movie when I was a kid and I still do it today. Both get to know each other step by step and see both their strengths and their weaknesses. Unlike some other movies, conflicts are not immediately resolved, but instead addressed directly. While Gaston “remains blind and deaf” to pursue his ideals, the Beast (Adam) is “woken up” by Belle holding him “a mirror. ” He even tries to understand Belle and her point of view. There’s more to this story than you can tell at first glance.

[@DSGodiva]

My mom told me when she and my dad took my sister to see this in the theater, it was the first time she had been to a movie where the audience stood up and clapped at the end.

[@taniahylian3799]

So you want Belle to marry Edward? This isn't Twilight lmao 🤣 (I think other comments have said it before, but apparently his name is Adam).

[@solmare851]

...omg it just clicked. Lmao.

[@user-yq6vc5pj1q]

Last week you said you wanted to start watching more live action stuff so maybe a decent transition would be Enchanted, piece of is animated (only like 13 minutes of the entire movie 107 minute movie tho) and the rest is live action (it's also kinda a princess movie)

[@ai_gunmanwolf3374]

I don't know if this is infact true because I just saw this as a conspiracy to somewhere, but it was stated that this was infact Belle's marriage life with Gaston. Gaston was the beast and the furnitures are the the things found at their new home. Belle grew insane as she was forced to marry Gaston, to the point that she started to make friends with the furnitures at her house. Gaston seemingly imprisoned Belle inside their house because for obvious reasons, after he also sent Belle's father to the asylum. Due to Belle's love for books and fantasy, and because of how she became lonely from being imprisoned, she started to think the things inside their marriage house talking to the point she be came insane.

[@Cameron5043]

That is creepy af and could be a stunning retelling! Wow! Right up there with the Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman...

[@UhOhHereWeGo]

Canonically, the beast’s name is Adam 🥰

[@satiricwriter]

Lol Beasts name was Adam in fact

[@KXCREATEZ]

I haven’t seen this since I was little! Can’t wait for the reaction🥰

[@Welchy]

[@oliviaharris1245]

this has now become my comfort youtube video. something about seeing a scottish guy getting emotional and involved in a childhood favorite film is NICE

[@hazbinotakusimp2182]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought "But she didn't even get to actually eat" during the Be Our Guest song XD I mean she nibbled on some things but that wasn't a meal!

[@Kevin-ql3wv]

Im never calling the beast "the beast" again from now on. Edward it is! 😂

[@brandi3981]

In the Disney sequels or something there's somewhere in the Disney can and not sure where exactly but they say the beast's name as a prince was Adam

[@rainkat1873]

You are absolutely my favorite reactor. Adorable, funny, sweet... Until I found out you watched this without your mum. 😉

[@Welchy]

Aww thank you!! 😄 and hahahaha nooooo I’m sorry 😭

[@rainkat1873]

I suppose since she wasn't home, I can forgive you this once. 🤗

[@supersasukemaniac]

We need a follow up of Welchy and his mother watching and reacting to Beauty and the Best live action.

[@rockchic733]

Dude there’s a whole video on KZbin about how they screwed up the beasts transformation scene, something about how the initial animation sketch was really good but somewhere in the process it got messed up

[@Annausagi2]

*The beast contemplating about letting Belle take her father's place* There's this alternative version that people have joked about, where the movie plays out basically like normal, but Maurice takes Belle's role. Even wearing the gold dress and everything.
