- In continuation of the celebrations for Dame Lansbury's 95th birthday:
Behind the scenes footage of the recording session on June 8, 1990, of Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Also seen is Jerry Orbach singing as a Maurice Chevalier-like candlestick named Lumiére. As Frank Rich said in The New York Times, the best Broadway musical of the 1991 season was Beauty and The Beast.
Dame Angela Lansbury is 95 years old in 2020. She did this when she was 65-66 years old. Talk about an absolute legend
Edit: Oct 11,2022- Angela Lansbury passed away at age 96. A true icon has left us but she leaves behind numerous memorable works to honor her with.
It was during the same era she was Jessica Fletcher! And while I think people recognize her as both Jessica and Mrs. Potts, what is less obvious is that Jerry Orbach, who is Detective Briscoe on Law and Order, and was a detective friend of Jessica's, Harry McGraw, is Lumiere. I mean, I can hear Angela Lansbury's voice from Mrs. Potts - Orbach managed to sound very different as a French guy.
And I love how Jessica completely remakes her life (becoming a writer, adopting a new lifestyle) in her 50s and 60s.
@@dementednun1175 Who asked you to be a Debbie downer? Let us celebrate the legends that are Angela Lansbury and Jerry Orbach.
@@dementednun1175 keeping your voice in good shape and keeping your breath support into old age is not very common in Broadway due to their extremely demanding performance schedules. George Foreman is a legendary boxer for somehow winning a title at 45, and Angela Lansbury is a legend for still performing well into her 60s and even 80s.

@@hbk2115 ...k?
She literally IS Mrs. Pots.
In all the rolls I've seen her in and interviews she is always like Mrs. POTS.
I believe that is why Disney can be so amazing is they do cast for someone who is the character
@@JJJoeJoe Mrs Pots was and does indeed become human again in beauty and the beast.
No she's miss price !
I know..I realize she was in Sweeney Todd and also Murder She Wrote but I agree..to me she is Mrs. Pots.
Figuratively. She's not an actual talking teapot. That's just make-believe.
She's a consummate actress, she's in a voice booth and is basically performing. They could have practically put an audience in there and they would have been entertained.
Wow, guys thanks for 4.2K I think that's my highest rated comment!
They are lipsyncing here for promotional material
@@kevinwilson3609 yep. At 0:28 she says "she's our guest" but her lips say "he's our guest" because it was originally going to be sung to Maurice. Even still, it's cool to see her performing in the booth.
@@kevinwilson3609 I agree that the music has been imposed on the video, it does not always match up with the lip movements, but some people are quite expressive and physical when they sing. It helps to connect with the song, I know that I put more emotions in songs when I am moving through them.
@@trickytreyperfected1482 so that means the footage came first, so she’s probably not lip syncing
Most people who do voice overs actually act within the booth. You have to in order to get the voice to actually match. It’s like in sales how they can say people can hear a smile.
One thing I like about Angela Lansbury (and one of the same reason Sondheim likes her too) is here vocal control. No forcing it out, no belting... just glided through and made it look easy. That’s what makes her so good at Sondheim musicals too. 😊
I saw that movie aeons ago, I’m not sure but I think it was Samson and Delilah and she played a “baddie”. She is one of the greatest of the greats.
@@josephinefothergill191 She played Semadar, the older sister of Delilah
Amazing
Your definitely right about that!
😀
@@itoko-san9300 me too Derek Llewellyn feel like I was in Disneyland before
Fun fact: The song "Beauty and the Beast" was originally going to be a fast beat pop song but Angela Lansbury said she didnt want to sing it that way. Ironically "Under the Sea" was supposed to be a slow ballad but the actor voicing Sebastian recommended it be an upbeat song.
Edit: the part about Little Mermaid isn't true after all. I could've sworn I heard about it but I can't find an actual article or interview to back it up.
They made good suggestions.
Wow !! Thanks for sharing ! Had no idea 😊
I could never see Mrs. Potts singing pop music. No way.
#RIP Samuel E. Wright
Thank God
The fact she is 95 now and looks the same is maddd
@Peter Evans This is 1990, so try again...
@Peter Evans And this isn't 1991, it's June 1990. Learn how to read the description on a video before commenting with ignorant BS.
@Peter Evans This video has nothing to do with her life and what she looked like in 1991, being that the footage above is from *June* *1990* , for a project released 17 1/2 months later in November 1991. No one else referred to what she looked like in 1991, because the video is from the previous year.
People can easily change from year to year due to varying health, even if she didn't change at all. It's very telling how you ignorantly assumed this video was from 1991 to make a dumb joke and it actually wasn't, per the description (that you cannot even read well).
You're too incorrigible to admit to being wrong about missing an obvious detail and moving on. Also, liking your own comments doesn't make your lousy defense any more credible and is the mark of an insecure person. When you have to stoop to bigoted accusations out of thin air (which hold no weight: raised well here indeed, educated at the best, & born in England), you obviously have no real argument. Put a sock in it.
@Peter Evans Your opinion doesn't mean much, considering you took it as a petty opportunity to insult someone. Nobody asked you what you thought of how she looked one year after this video.
@Peter Evans She looked like the typical woman in her mid-60s in 1990 when this was taped. Your opinion means nothing on her aLrEaDy lOoKiNg 95 iN 1991 if the next person disagrees, in being as I stated, petty and lacking any basis. Try and reread your own commentary, if you're becoming lost that quickly.
Other than me being pedantic over the actual date, no one acknowledged your lame joke, as to be nearly 100 and look virtually the same as you did when leaving your middle aged years (over 3 decades earlier) vs being a rotting corpse in the ground, is a feat. Let's see what you look like at 95 vs 65.
Let’s all agree 1991 version was so much better and this forage is amazing and priceless
@@CB394 I like the live action one too but I always like the originals better 🙂
The '91 version is definitely the best one, but I honestly didn't think the live-action was too bad.
not a big fan of gayston but if I was forced to re-watch a live action disney remake, i'd most likely pick the beauty and the beast one.
Or maleficent. that one was good
@@hobomike6935 I agree 🙂
@@maddierella4491 I agree. Both are good, 1991 is better.
@@kennethlowrey2902 Yas 👏
She has the voice everyone wishes their mum has
My mum is a cockney Londoner. She sounds exactly like Angela Lansbury.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury
(16 October 1925 - 11 October 2022)
RIP Angela Lansbury. She'll be missed by all so dearly, especially for her iconic voice performance as Ms. Potts and her beautiful singing voice.
Indeed, we will.
She was also wonderful in “Murder she Wrote”.
Literally in tears 😢. You never really realize how much someone’s voice means to you until there gone.
*they're
@@opo3628 Shut up
Totally. She was in so many Disney movies of my childhood. The grandma I wish I’d had!
The king and queen of broadway together! They don’t make legends like Orbach and Lansbury anymore 🤩😍
They were also on Angela’s show Murder, She Wrote numerous times.
I watch Murder She Wrote every week day at tea time. I have watched them over and over and brought my granddaughters up in this. In fact one of them bought the full CD set of the series. I particularly enjoy the episodes with Orbach in them.
no they don't. talent is rare nowadays ☹ I also love Fred Astaire. I was born at the wrong time.
@@josephinefothergill191 when I moved to Belgium I didn't know a word of French. The first two months I watched Murder she wrote every morning dubbed in French. It was my starting point. There are some episodes I can recite word by word 😅
@@ElenaFanelli “Henri, I don’t know about our new neighbor. The only words she seems to know in French are murder, gun, knife, and police.”
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury
The little nod that Jerry and Angela give each other. Two artists recognizing each other's mastery of the craft.
0:23-0:28 R.I.P. Angela Lansbury we’ll never forget about you as Mrs Potts.
0:28 Read her lips. She actually said "He's our guest" because originally the song was sung to Maurice, but they decided to have it sung to Belle to put more attention onto her.
You do realize that "she" and "he" look exactly alike on the lips. Only your tongue makes them sound different. And I can clearly hear the "sh" sound. I know that in an early draft Be our guest was suppose to be sung to Maurice but it was changed way before they started recording.
@@soniaforbes5435 also they did record the version where they sang to Maurice. th-cam.com/video/2dC-ZlsYSpo/w-d-xo.html
she said "she's our guest". It only sounds like Angela pronounced He at the proper time when her hands covered her mouth. But listen again.
You can't read lips at all, she is clearly singing "see my vest, see my vest made from real gorilla chest."
@@emptyhand777 lol I literally just laughed out loud - you win TH-cam with that comment
RIP Angela lansbury October 2022.😥
I am honored to have sung in the chorus for this film, Alladin, and Hunchback. What an eyeful and earful those sessions were (I still get residual checks, too--Thanks, SAG)!
O that's amazing
Spread the gospel jesus DIED for us so repent and spread the word of God
I never knew Jerry Orbach, Mr Detective himself, voiced Lumiere. Shook.
I remember having the same reaction. "Lenny Briscoe is LUMIERE!?"
Also Mr Houseman in Dirty Dancing
@@JamieBoy-ij2ri “he’s the one who put Baby in the corner”
@@TheyMadeMePickAName lol
he puts on a voice for his acting, he can change it based on the role. he was different in Dirty Dancing than on Murder She Wrote and different on Law and Order
I would have liked to have seen her in the remake as a cameo.
Rest in peace, Mrs. Fletcher.
They recorded her with a LIVE ORCHESTRA? Wow! Amazing!!!
Yes, and quite unusual even for a Disney movie! It was done with a live orchestra to make it feel like a stage performance, rather than a cartoon movie. There's quite a bit of footage from that recording session in the 2018 documentary "Howard" (about Howard Ashman who wrote the song).
They should do this with more of the Disney musicals. It'd help make the performances feel much more genuine
@@pryordevine3855 Yes. Although, admittedly, there's a lot that could be done to make recent Disney musicals feel much more genuine. Stop using pitch correction, for example. Sadly the era of the great Disney musical is long over.
Rip to another queen lost this year
Rest In Peace Angela Lansbury. Only 5 days from her next birthday.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury (AKA) Mrs. Potts.
RIP Angela Lansbury
R.I.P Jerry and Angela
Rest in peace Angela Lansbury
We need to see ALL the sessions.. Sad that she and Jerry are GONE.... She is Ms Pots.....
Some very sad news. This amazing person has passed away at 96 today.
RIP Angela Lansbury 1925-2022

Just found out she passed today October 11. Another legend has passed away it's a sad day.
We lost a great Actress and a wonderful singer from this year.😢
R.I.P 10/11/22
Angela rest in peace. Loved this ole classic. With tales as old as time..I will always remember her as Ms. POTTS..she is the only Ms.Pott- not replaceable...she was my childhood
RIP Mrs. Pots.
RIP one of the very best.
R.I.P Angela Lansbury😭🥺
Farewell, Mrs. Potts. Another part of our childhood gone up to Heaven.
We'll miss you, Mrs. Potts. Goodnight, love.
RIP Angela Lansbury
This makes me want to see the movie again.
She poured so much enthusiasm and her soul into this song as Mrs. Potts, she was perfect for the role.
May she R.I.P
Lansbury was one of those post war performers that literally never stopped working. One of Englands best exports really. She did incredibly well after the age 40. When most female performers in the mainstream popular genre are dismissed.
I wanted to watch this in honor of Ms. Lansbury. Seeing her with Jerry Orbach made me sad. They and David Ogden Stiers 'made the movie. R.I.P. to them. I first saw Ms. Lansbury in Blue Hawaii staring as Elvis' character's dramatic Southern mother. "Now Chadwick, do you have some shug-ah fo-ah yo-wah mama?." She was a treasure.
Angela Lansbury died, October 11, 2022. At the age of 96. Rest in peace, Dame Angela.
I came back to this video because Angela died yesterday 5 days shy of her 97th birthday...she was awesome!!!
Sad she’s passed away. RIP, Angela.
😢 she was one of my favorite actress and voice actress back then and I’m happy I watched Beauty And The Beast, she will be missed.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury 1925 - 2022
R.I.P Angela. Your voice is in heaven now. Greetings to your lovely husband Peter. We will miss you.
This made me want to watch beauty and the beast again
tRest in power Jessie Fletcher. Thanks for so much magic mrs Lansbury
R.I.P Angela Landsbury: A true, timeless, one of a kind, unforgettable legend.
R.I.P.
Angela Lansbury
The voice of Mrs. Potts
(1925-2022)
I love Mrs. Potts she's my favorite character Angela's a good singer. R.I.P Angela Lansbury (1925-2022) I can't believe she just died 5 days before her 97th Birthday so sad.
I love how much fun everyone seems to be having. Angela Lansbury smiling at Jerry Orbach. Sigh. Jerry Orbach belting it out. Thank you!!
Whoa. It's a crazy coincidence that this was posted precisely two years before the exact day she passed
Sadly she just passed today. Rest In Peace ❤
I love her body language, she's so animated!
Roy E. Disney in the back of that one shot: 🧍🏻♂️

Agree. Angela Landsbury & Jerry Orbach... two acting legends. 💙💙
She's not even in live action and she's done it proud and stunningly nobody can ever live up this one and only talented beauty soul she worked hard unlike so many untalented unprofessional actors/singers today rip angela lansbury ❤❤❤
Angela lansbury and Jerry Orbach what a pair.How often would you see such legends performing. The set of pipes on Angela. Fantastic awesome. She is one of a kind. Jerry was funny. R I P Jerry. She rubbed shoulders with alot of stars. Loved her as Mrs. Potts. Love the cockney accent.
@marinawilliams8786 I hope you will reply to this I loved Jerry Orbach so handsome even as an older guy
How I loved Angela Lansbury. She was a singularly gifted woman who left the world a far richer place through her work. So fortunate we had her as long as we did and that she remained active almost to the end.❤
R.I.P. Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury
0:28-1:23 This is exactly what Angela Lansbury heard entering the gates of Heaven! RIP Angela Lansbury no doubt you Jerry Orbach and David Ogden Stiers are catching up!
Rest in Peace, Mommy Fortuna.
RIP Angela. Thank you for all the wonderful talent you shared with us.
R.I.P. Angela Lansbury. You were one of the best Disney actresses and legends of all time.
My Favorite Disney ever
Voices of my childhood, on multiple levels. It blew my grade school mind Mrs Potts and JB Fletcher, Lumiere and Lenny Brisco were the same performers. RIP Angela and Jerry, you live on.
And David Odgen Stiers.
She was my childhood and pat carrol as well .
May they Rest In Peace
Rest in peace Angela Lansbury
October 16 1925-October 11 2022
Rip angela you legend❤️❤️❤️
Why is this making me emotional 😭
That's part of the power of Disney animation.
RIP you legend. You would have been 97 years old in a couple of days. Her last film role is going to be in the sequel to Knives Out. I’m going to watch Bedknobs and Broomsticks and also The Manchurian Candidate for its 60th anniversary. RIP Dame Angela.
Frank Rich wrote that this number was better than anything Broadway had produced that entire year, and he was right
She just glided through, and made it easy too, Be Our Guest! Be Our Guest! RIP Angela Lansbury💗
TODAY SHE IS 96! HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN! 🥰
Being able to watch these two amazing actors at work together is incredible. Such legends, they are missed
So wonderfully talented!! You will certainly be missed! My condolences to her family and friends! I will certainly be enjoying her singing “Be Our Guest” in heaven! Rest peacefully sweet lady Angela!
How can you not adore Angela Lansbury? She's amazing in every way!!!
Angela Lansbury has gone on but she left us many dear memories. May she Rest in Peace.
Every person in the video is world class at what he or she does.
Back when Disney had TALENT
