No Such Thing as Happily Ever After

[masayuki]

Yes, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie of all time, but I'm not sure I like the ending anymore. I've been thinking about this for a while and reached my conclusion: in the end, his beastliness is part the charm that attracts her to him. So when he becomes a prince, he isn't interesting anymore

The Real question: Is it beastiality for beauty to fuck the beast in prince form?

i think that i have to completely agree with you on this one, and i stick to what i said before when i said i wish he had remained in beast form. maybe he shouldve turned back into a man, but, then back into the beast, kindof like in shrek i guess. besides, he is far cooler with fangs and pointy ears.

i must admit that when i watch the movie when he turns into a girly looking man i wish he was the beast again. is it wrong for me to find him ultrally attractive and sexy when he was the beast? cuz thats how i feel now when i watch it.

the song "home" kicks ass from the show. the woman who sings it leaves something to be desired but the song itself is good.

I wouldn't mind him that much as a prince if not for the fact that we never got to know him as one. As for the "ultrally attractive and sexy" part, suit yourself.

Oh, yes, and "Home" is a good song; so many good songs from the musical aren't in the movie. The woman's voice gets annoying, though, you're right.

yes. and i met her in real life. and shes a major bitch as well. shes one of those egotistical "im a star on broadway but didnt in a tony" woman. theres alot of them.

I've actually always thought that. Theres a book that looks at it that way too called "Beast" and tells the story weird-like from the beast's point of view.

I searched for the book on amazon but can't find it. Do you have it? Is it a children's book?

[serotonintonic]

I think it's a teen book. My copy is in a box somewhere but I actually thing the library has it. And it might possibly be written by Jane Yolen- maybe... It was an ok book, not great. It just was an interesting point of view.

[masayuki]

So I just found the book to which I think you're referring. It's not by Jane Yolen; it's by Donna Jo Napoli. Anyway, I really want to read it now.

I used to watch that movie, rewind it, watch it again, rewind it, watch it again, etc. for six hour periods.

damn that was some good shit. Lumierre and his featherduster girlfriend were awesome.

you have inspired me to set apart a section of my weekend for vast periods of Disney-movie-watching.

[masayuki]

I used to do the watch/rewind thing, too; now I can go up to 48 hours without watching it. Lumiere is my favorite character and one of my few role models in life (the others being James Dean, Spider-Man, Bruce Lee and Usher). His feather-duster girlfriend (I think her name is Fifi...) is so hot.

Good disney movies for your "vast periods:" Aladdin, Dumbo, Lion King, Toy Story, Mulan, and, of course, Beauty and the Beast.
