Research Paper On Beauty And The Beast

The story of the Beauty and the Beast is well known amongst all ages. Though the story they portray in the Disney version is much different than what they have portrayed it in France.

The perception of this story has changed between the different time periods.

Beginning in 2010 with Alice in Wonderland (Devoe n.pag), Disney has now resolved to produce live action remakes of everybody's favorites, including Maleficent, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and most recently, Beauty and the Beast. The original Beauty and the Beast was an all-time favorite when it came out in 1991 (IMDb n.pag), and now those same children, as adults, experience the nostalgia brought about by the 2017 live-action version. Beauty and the Beast surpasses all expectations from both children and adults alike.

Sometimes spending time alone, and away from the ordinary is the best form of emotional therapy. Moving onto Belle's costar, the Beast, viewers of the film cannot help but see the drastic character development which occurs. Right from the beginning, the Beast is spoken of very poorly, as a result of his self-righteous attitude toward the world. Due to his unkind behaviour, a witch casts a spell on him, which morphs him into his monstrous form. His human form would be his to hold again, as long as he could change his ways, and have someone fall in love with him. The Beast wastes no time in throwing a fit, and eventually disappears into despair; however, once Belle enters his life, the disgruntled prince makes an effort to change his ways, if only to earn her affections. Both Belle and the Beast learn from one another, which I think makes their relationship that much more meaningful. Not only do they fall in love, but they truly care for the development of one another, and are determined to change themselves for the better in order to be

There are many differences between Disney's film Beauty and the Beast, and "Beauty and the Beast" by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont. The central focus of the plot is a kind-hearted "beauty" who is able to see beyond appearances and learn to love without consideration of good looks, but based on value from within. This is the same in both versions. In addition, in each version, the father innocently offends the Beast and is given a choice to pay for his offense, unless someone else will take his place.

“Beauty and The Beast” is a classic well known romantic Disney movie that depicts the gender role of men and women in society. The film is based upon a smart young female protagonist named Belle who is imprisoned by a self-centered young prince after he has been turned into a beast. They both learn to love each other in the end and throughout the film there are several examples shown portraying the roles of gender. In the film the main characters Gaston and the Beast portray themselves as rude, conceited and more important than the woman even though the main character Belle is a woman whom is considered odd, yet smart, and unrelated to most women in society.

American actress and singer Paige O’Hara, the voice behind the 1991 version of Belle, is “really happy” that the role went to Watson. She believes no one is more appropriate for the role than Watson, who’s got the intelligence and humor to bring the character to

Beauty and The Beast (Disney, 1991) is the first Disney princess that is not presented as a helpless young girl. Bell is an independent character that she wants more than the average life she is living. Early in the movie, she is shown the idea of love with a male character Gaston; she is quick to turn him down, this was the first instance that a Disney princess has turned down a strong male character that other characters in the movie are in love with. Bell takes initiative to save her father from the beast, instead of waiting for another male to save the day. She has been the first Disney princess to put other people’s safety in front more than her own since later on she is shown to want It to save the beast even if it ruins her reputation.

Beauty and the Beast, a great story to tell following the lesson of “never judge a book by its cover”. There are many books and few movies. There is the animated one and the recently released human actors one. I’m going to be comparing and contrasting two books, Disney Beauty and the Beast and The Graphic Novel Beauty and The Beast, to the new movie Beaty and the Beast.

Until a few weeks ago, I was only familiar with the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast, then I read Beauty and Beast story, La Belle et La Bête (1757) by Madame Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont. This version of the tale features a family of the new

Remakes have become prevalent this past decade. Beauty and the Beast is a classic story told down generations and tell the story of both the emotional and social challenges women face everyday. Their stories are similar, but it’s the small differences that truly change how the audience feels.

The original story “La Belle et la Bête” was published in 1790, and a real-life adaptation is set to be released in 2017.

Walt Disney Pictures released the film Beauty and the Beast in 1991 to tremendous critical acclaim.

On the opposite coast, Kenneth Turin of the Los Angeles Times, heralds the film as Disney’s “most satisfying in decades” (F1).

Throughout the film, the director did manipulate the pace of the film which did pull me in. During dramatic scenes between the Beast and Belle, the director would use slow and still camera angles, perhaps to allow viewers to be able to focus more. During action filled scenes like when Belle returns to the castle to save the Beast from the angry village, there were fast frames from multiple different angles to make viewers feel the rush portrayed in the film. Also, the flawless acting skills helped pull me into the film because they were immaculate and convincing. As far as surprises, there were a few extra scenes in this newer version of Beauty and the Beast that I did not expect. One of the surprise scenes includes Belle returning to Paris

The version of Beauty and the Beast by Jeanne- Marie LePrince De Beaumont tells a compelling story of a young women making sacrifices for her family, and finding love through these sacrifices.
