This sequence is so stunning. The fact that the unfinished product can overwhelm with emotion. The economy of the lines in the sketch work is just amazing. To communicate so much with so little. It's just art.
"The Burghers of Calais" is excellent for this scene. The sculpture references the capture of Calais by King Edward III of England during the Hundred Years' War. Edward agreed to spare the city if they sent out six of their leaders to him - presumably to their deaths. Rodin captured the anguish in their faces as they prepare to sacrifice themselves for the good of others. Edward's wife Queen Philippa persuaded him to spare their lives. So to me, "The Burghers" is about the darkness before the dawn. Mercy is coming, but you can't see it yet.
I was believe in the adage of having the right tool for the right job. But there's also the matter of having the right man on the job and, in keeping with what you said, yeah you probably were born for this job. It's still to this day one of the best transformations Disney has ever put out in my opinion. It was astonishing and, in all honesty, the live action adaptation pales in comparison to this. Great stuff man.
Everytime I go to the city Calais, when I get off the train station I always turn right to the Town hall place so I can admire the beautiful sculpture which inspired this scene 💕 There is flowers and little birds all around it in summer. Then I turn left to the beach and seaside, it's magical
I hope this sequence will give me just as much goosebumps as the original animated scene did. The original scene is just pure Disney magic at its finest. Crossing fingers we'll see that same magic in the 2017 version and they'd better have this musical score to go with it!
This is probably the perfect marriage of score and art since everything is so in sync
It definitely is!

This was my favorite part of the fantastic bonus material on the DVD!! So great please do yourself a favor and watch this on the awesome DVD!
thank you mr keane... the scene is so powerful for me today as it was when i first saw it when i was a little girl.
There truly are few greater moments in cinema history.
Amazing! I show this to my 7th graders when we talk about animation in my art class :-) Thanks!
nice do it
That sounds awesome! I wish I had a class that discussed animation in 7th grade.

Having seen the film in theaters when it first came out, my seven-year old self was blown away by the whole thing, especially this scene.

Amen 🙏 I watch this clip regularly… GOD bless you mate
I loved this! I cannot wait to talk about this in my next video "100 Facts about Beauty and The Beast!" posting this week on TH-cam!
So moving.
The live action version better not mess this up

no worries there
It's funny, I saw the live action version maybe a month ago and I don't even remember the transformation sequence.
is that good or bad
I think it's bad.
assim no Brasil trabalhei com vários animadores; E o que mais tenho saudades é Sr. Mario Lantana "O Mestre"
Back when Disney had their stuff together
Thanks to glen I grew up watching beauty and the beast instead of hotel transylvania
