3.When Gaston is falling at the very end, there is close-up of his eyes. For a few frames a tiny skull flashes in each of his eyes. In the theatrical release, as Gaston plunged to his implied death and his face filled the screen, two frames showed skulls in his eyes. For the VHS and laserdisc release, these frames were altered to remove the skulls from his eyes. However, no such alteration was made for the DVD release. The Disney Company claims that the skulls determined Gaston’s fate as fans were unsure whether he died or not at the end.

4. You tell me what you see

Sorry guys this picture isn’t the best quality but it was the only one i could find for what I wanted to show you. The picture says, “what the heck is that?? Dirty Disney.” For those who are curious.

5. As Maurice and Felipe try to find their way, two of the routes on the road sign read Anaheim and Valencia.

Built in former orange groves, the original Disneyland Resort is located in Anaheim, California.

Valencia, California is home to California Institute of the Arts, commonly known as CalArts. The school founded by Walt and Roy Disney, has trained most of the directors and animators working at Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Studios.

Bell

1. The dance between Belle and her Prince in the finale is actually reused animation of the dance between Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip in Sleeping Beauty (1959). The original Sleeping Beauty (1959) pair had been drawn over to become the new Beauty and the Beast (1991) pair, and this was done because they were running out of time during the production of the movie.

2. Linda Woolverton drew her inspiration for the screenplay, not from Jean Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast (1946), but from Little Women (1933), admitting that there’s a lot of Katharine Hepburn in the characterization of Belle.

3. To emphasize Belle’s uniqueness, the animators dressed Belle in bright blue, making her stand out from the other townspeople and the autumn colors.

4. As Belle and the Beast share a moment playing in the snow, the mottled bark on the tree trunk (to the right of Belle’s hand) creates a Hidden Mickey.

5. Bell travels to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, go see if you can find her!

6. Did you know that Disney used Bell to determine how they wanted Jane from Tarzan to look like there’s a theory that Jane is Bell and Beast’s granddaughter…bet you didn’t see that coming.
