Beauty and the Best Disney cartoon film ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2019)

I was a kid when this Disney movie was released and let me tell you I liked it very much, Belle was smart, kind, caring and stood up for herself, she helped the Beast not act like a monster anymore, I liked the characters including Gaston who looks like King Graham from Kings Quest V and I liked how funny Lefou is in this cartoon. Robby Benson also voiced in King's Quest VI.
This cartoon starts off with the young boy prince turning into a Beast by the old beggar woman who's a witch and his castle falling into disrepair, then starts off with Belle going into town, everybody is gossiping about Belle, Gaston is lusting after Belle and harassing her to get married, Gaston, Lefou and the whole town makes fun of Maurice calling him loony old man which always bothered me. Maurice takes off in the woods with an Axe chopping machine, he gets lost in the woods, almost fell off a cliff, got thrown off a horse and chased by wolves, I don't know why the wolves were trying to eat him, I do like wolves. Maurice takes shelter from the storm in the Beasts castle, the Beast is angry with him trespassing in his castle and locks him in the tower dungeon.
Meanwhile Gaston tires to force Belle into marrying him at a wedding party, he fails and decides to get revenge on Belle. Belle comes out of the house and sees Maurice's horse returns to the house, Belle heads off right into the castle, wait a minute, how the heck did the horse know where the castle was, maybe it smelled the trail of Maurice. Anyways Belle trespasses in the castle, finds Maurice, the Beast decides to send Maurice home while keeping Belle a prisoner in his castle. Belle is upset, Gaston and Lefou party in the tavern, Maurice barges in the tavern seeking help but they throw him out in the cold.
Meanwhile Belle adjusts to life in the Beasts castle, meeting inanimate object friends who were kind and fun to her, Lumière, Cogswork, Mrs, Potts, and Chip helps her out and throw a Be Our Guest Party for Belle, Belle sneaks in the Beasts room, the Beast throws her out and she rides out of the castle into danger with wolves in pursuit, the Beast saves her life and she heals the Beast,
Meanwhile at home, Maurice wanders in the woods alone, Gaston and Lefou plot to throw Maurice in the asylum to coax Belle into marrying him. Belle and the Beast finally gets along and they have a hetero love moment and they dance in the grand ballroom. Belle sees Maurice lost in the woods, she leaves the castle, rescues her father and takes him home, after Maurice recovers, Chip was with Belle, then Monsieur D'Arque decides to collect Maurice, I don't know if it was unpaid debt he owed, but then Gaston offers Belle a choice marry him, Belle refuses and reveals the Beast which the mob mistakens the Beast for a monster
Gaston takes charge and locks Belle and Maurice up, Chip starts up the axe machine and frees Belle from the cellar door and rides her horse to the castle. Meanwhile Gaston and his men use a battering ram and storms in the castle only to be ambushed by the inanimate objects. They win and Lefou and the villagers run away back to their village, but Gaston snuck off and shot the beast with his bow and arrow, Belle arrives at the castle, the Beast and Gaston face off in mortal combat, Belle helps the Beast up who gets stabbed by Gaston and he falls to his death. Belle loves the Beast who dies, the Beast comes back to life and turns into a young man, the inanimate objects turn back to normal and they throw a ballroom party and they live happily ever after.
I liked this movie the characters where fun to watch I liked Belle very much and how smart and fun she was, I liked Lefou, I did like Gaston bragging about his life and strength until he became a town bully and harassed Belle and in the process became a monster in trying to murder the Beast.
I liked Lefou, I didn't think he was bad, he was just trying to be Gastons friend and liked the 3 women, he also entertained the guests at the tavern party and cheered Gaston up. I would've liked more screen time on Lefou.
I also liked the inanimate objects in the castle, Lumière, Cogswork, Mrs, Potts, Chip, the Wardrobe, Featherduster, they were very funny and they made me laugh, I liked the Be out Guest song, the animation was very amazing, I also liked the Human Again in later versions of the DVD movie, I also liked the Music.
Did you Disney fans know Robby Benson and Tony Jay would later voice in Sierra's PC game King's Quest VI Heir Today Gone Tomorrow in 1992? Robby Benson would play as Prince Alexander of Daventry, and there's a Beauty and the Beast subplot in the King's Quest VI game.
There were however some missing plots in this cartoon film. My question is was Maurice in debt? Where were the ships that sank in the ocean? Why didn't it show Maurice picking the rose from the garden, that was in the original book? He was working on an invention called an Axe chopping machine for the fair which he never got to go to. Did he ever get to show off his invention? What became of Lefou and his villagers? Was there a funeral service for Gaston who fell to his death? Did Lefou take over Gastons estate? Did Monsieur D'Arque confiscate Maurice's property? We'll never know, but I'll one day make a fan fiction stop motion video that will show Maurice in debt, show Gastons funeral service, Lefou taking over the estate or tavern.
This movie has won best animated picture and for good reason, there is a 2017 movie remake which I prefer to forget about since I was bored with the remake.
As for the rating of this movie It would be rated PG for some violence, peril, scary scenes, alcohol reference, thematic elements.
