I will pull my birthday card which will be this 12th of September, Sunday. Please do Wreck It Ralph and Ralph Breaks The Internet #Bingers hoping it'll be covered before this year ends.
*THERE. IS. NO. STOCKHOLM. SYNDROME. HERE.*
Belle has _no_ problem calling him on his garbage, she consistently STANDS UP TO him where a Stockholm victim would cave and “keep the peace” out of fear. She never tries to save or fix him, and she does not start falling in love with him until he genuinely starts to change.
And no, actually, I don’t think that Beast and Gaston really have very much in common. Clearly Beast has serious anger-management issues, he is arguably even abusive. And perhaps if not for the Enchantress’s intervention he MIGHT HAVE BEEN more like what Gaston is. But, Gaston has an ego streak ( *_hubris_* ) a mile wide, and is willing to engage in evil plotting which does not stop short even of murder; whereas the Beast, underneath all the ‘Sturm und Drang’, shows evidence of a conscience- even in their very first meeting.
#bingers mary poppins
#Bingers Billy if you don’t watch breakthrough you’re gonna have to fight me!
and the last book i read was Written in the Stars it is truly amazing you should give it a read.
@@royalbellairedjdxibxfo9905 YES!!
Also, #bingers - Rise of the Guardians (...please??)
Just making it clear, Belle does not have Stockholm Syndrome, she doesn't fit the diagnostic criteria for it. Stockholm Syndrome is about survival, basically, they fall in love with their capture as a way to survive. Belle does not do this, she never becomes submissive or makes excuses for his behaviour, rather she fights back and calls him out for his temper and actions and doesn't back down. She even had the chance to leave him for dead and leave but she willingly decided to save him and return. Then later on when he does release her she once again chooses to return of her own choice. The Beast has Lima syndrome meaning he fell in love with his prisoner and as a result, his behaviour began to change and it is only after this change did Belle start to care for him and eventually fall in love with him (this didn't happen overnight, some time did pass).
Real examples of Stockholm Syndrome include Rapunzel and Quasimodo, both breaking out of it with help from an external source (Eugene and Esmerelda), but up until then they obeyed their captors (even if at the time they didn't realise) and made excuses for their behaviour e.g. When Esmerelda calls Frollo a cruel man Quisimodo quickly jumps to his defence.
Finally someone said it!
☝🏻THIS☝🏻
Yup, If she fell in love with him when he was acting like he was at the beginning, then it would have been Stockholm. But she only showed interest in him when he shows her compassion and doesn't treat her like a prisoner, but a guest.
Rapunzel and Quasi are great examples of ACTUAL Stockholm victims.
It’s just Cracked listicle tier philosophy to think so. People want to feel they outsmarted the big bad Disney movie by perpetuating these low effort falsehoods about it. I can think of a hundred reasons more it’s not a proper demonstration of Stockholm taking place (It’s even in contention about it being a real thing to begin with BTW). Belle is technically never even imprisoned. It’s only her word keeping her there and indeed she distances herself from the whole situation when the Beast snaps during the West Wing situation.
A huge textbook symptom in a case of this furthermore is the captor bestowing little kindnesses the captive party mistakes as being a bigger deal than they are. When the Beast saves her and Belle shows gratitude for this, it was literally her life on the line, not some throwaway pity gesture intended to manipulate her. She has her head screwed on perfectly straight and falls in love with the Beast sound of mind. End of.
BATB as a story is actually structured around Belle being the hero as it’s her love that saves the Beast. What she does is no different than what the princes in Snow White or Sleeping Beauty did but I guess this is so subtle as to fly over the heads of people who believe themselves smarter than this immensely clever and trope defying film. Stockholm Syndrome my foot. 🙄
Couldn't have said it better!
Belle had her priorities in check. She saw that library and she was like “I think I can work with this.”
Belle is gold digger.
Cool so she loves him for his stuff. How romantic.
@@heatherv3417 I mean, having a well-maintained library is the whatever the opposite of a Red Flag is 😅
@@gpodjoe9179 She wasn't impressed with the castle tho 💀just the books... for her it's like prison with her favorite thing.
@@gpodjoe9179 she was into the books, not wealth.
"All it took was him seeing Belle" yes because someone cared enough about him to come to him by their free will. "If you love someone let them go. If they are yours they will come back" exactly what happened
Ending made me cry.
Also, they knew each other well enough for him to know she wasn’t there for Gaston lol. That’s probably why I do like this romance, even if it’s to put it mildly a gothic romance. Unlike so many love interests, they do actually get to know each other, not just because Belle is beautiful, and even though the beast sucks. XD
But unlike Gaston, the beast seemed capable of change, perhaps because he knew that he was in the wrong. Like Billy said, that was the type of thing to humble him. But it took a while…
Honestly what I remember most about this movie is just loving Belle's character. She was portrayed as this independent, witty, bold, caring, intelligent woman. And as young girl I really wanted to grow in that kind of woman as well.😊
Me too 💛
I don't think the lesson was for Belle to not judge people by their looks, but for the Beast to learn to be kind and gentle. That's why he did unforgivable things in the beginning.
Yes, exactly. Belle wasn't the one with the meaningful arc here, Beast was. She begins the movie as a complete, self-actualized person; Beast is the one who needs to learn and change something. Belle is actually an excellent example of a "Mary-sue" character done right. You can have a character with very few/no flaws and still have a great film when the rest of the story is great.
@@EmphaticNod belle did learn to be kinder tho. Beast told her not to go to bad places, she went there anyway and then apologized for her actions. Belle did learn to not judge ppl by their looks somewhat, which ties into the OG story where the beast was actually the good guy and belle had to learn the lesson, and be awarded for it
He never said anything about belle judging people. He said it was the beast who got punished in the beginning because he judged the hag right away which caused him to be mean to her. But yes I agree with you though
@@ma.2089 - I have to disagree? Her change in attitude isn't because she learns any lessons and she never judges Beast on his appearance: Her initial reaction of fear toward him happens, but it's backed up by the fact that he is holding her father prisoner and has no bearing on how she treats him later. She never judges him because he's scary-looking; she judges him because he unfairly imprisoned her father, then her, and then acts cruelly to her. I say she never "learned any lessons" because her behavior toward Beast is actually extremely consistent from start-to-finish: she simply returns whatever energy Beast puts toward her first. When he's rude, she's rude back; when he starts to treat her with kindness, she does the same. This is what I meant when I said she starts as a fully self-actualized character.
The fairy tale is different, and I definitely do agree that the Belle from that story is the one that needs to learn the lesson. In that one, *Beast* is the fully self-actualized character (he knows exactly who he is and the story isn't concerned with changing him). The movie just spins the concept around. :)
Did Belle really judge anyone for their looks? She didn’t like Gaston who was supposed to be a hunk because of his crap personality, but everyone else judged her by her looks. The Beast said: how could someone as beautiful as her love me? Gaston said: she’s the most beautiful girl in town, that’s who I’m going to marry.
This movie never gave me Stockholm syndrome vibes. She only returned to help heal the beast because he was badly wounded and then they developed mutual respect and attraction. I always liked watching him slowly change and become more vulnerable and attached.
Yeah this is what’s so beautiful to me 🥲
Me too I don't like people keep saying Stockholm syndrome if they don't anything about it
If this was a really situation, y’all bodies would be found in lakes
@@unkn0wn807 ehm its a FREAKING FAIRY TALE... you know what fairy tales do? Make you LEARN A MORAL
Fun fact: it has actually been debunked as Stockholm Syndrome (I did a project about it in my Psych class and had to look up a lot of source articles) for a few reasons:
- He never suggested she switch with her father
- As you noticed, the doors were unlocked
- And the most significant reason is she didn’t change; he did. When she did the bowl thing, he followed her lead and compromised. She noticed his character change from more rough and rude to more kind and open and then started to like him. And finally, he let her go, she came back, and she said, I love you. The beast changed before she ever actually loved him. He showed her a new beginning when he helped her survive the wolves and how they banter when they get back lacks a significant power imbalance. She yelled at him and vise versa; she wasn’t scared of him. She had the chance to leave him in the snow or take him to his castle, and she chose to help him despite the fact that before the wolves he was brash.
In the end, he understood why she wouldn’t come back, but instead of getting angry, he understood, which is a big change the audience sees. Meanwhile he shows her he changed by letting her go. When the mob goes to attack him she realizes she has feelings for him and has enough proof for herself that he is different. And I’ve left out the library as a kind gift because that could be seen as a way he tried to get her to love him, so I count that as an act she saw from him as proof of his change.
Anyways, it’s one of my favorite disney movies and has some great values, I just wanted to clear up that it isn’t Stockholm Syndrome. Thank you for the video and the time you took to create it.
This is a copy and paste comment from Timothee reacts. Or maybe you were the first person and the other person copied it.
"Where's belle's mom?"
Don't you know all classic Disney female leads are motherless? Cinderella, aurora, snow white, jasmine, Belle...
Teeechnically Snow White and Cinderella have moms. Step moms anyway. Their daddies died to make up for that though. So it's not an improvement. (Also they're evil)
@btamamura Sure, but that just means they have/had 2 moms. Technically.
Also I just remembered Aurora does actually have both parents. They just uh... Left her to be raised by 3 incompetent fairies in the woods.
So one classic disney princess still has a mom.
Aurora had a mom. She had like two lines, but at least we know what she looks like.
wow lol I didn't realize that either lol
Pocahontas
“The loudest person in the room, is usually the the most scared”.....billy, you’ve told us multiple times that you’re usually the loudest person in the room 😂😂😂
He’s speaking from experience lol
Does that mean watching movies scare him 😱 he's so brave for reacting to them just for us 🙏
@@pb.alvestegui our brave king tbh
Gaston is probably one of the scariest villians in a Disney movie. Yes, he's just a human, but men who can't handle rejections from women are SCARY 😱 Him and and Frollo are like 🤝🏻
Yeah, they're the scariest Disney villains because they're so real. I mean, we've got sorcerers and evil fairies who are evil enough, but at least there aren't real people who use a staff to entrance others or turn into dragons when all other possibilities are exhausted. But there are real people who will blackmail and coerce before they give in, and real people who pretend or even believe they're good people, no matter how many terrible things they do, including burning an innocent teenager for refusing to give into sexual blackmail.
The rat from The Great Mouse Detective tho
@@solus8685 He's a rat though lol. I'm talking a normal human. A type of guy who actually exists and who you can encounter.
@@sannaolsson9106 Just because he isn't literally portrayed as a human, doesn't mean his behavior is any less human than Gaston's or Frollo's
@@solus8685 That wasn't my point though?? I said that Gaston and Frollo are scary because they are human that you can meet. They are every day bad guys who xan't handle rejection from women. I can not meet a talking evil rat and as a woman I'm not scared of him lol.
This was my first movie as a child, and I loved it. It’s still one of my favourites.
A few points:
- he didn’t kidnap her. He imprisoned her father for theft, something that as a Prince/King would have been within his rights. Belle *chose* to take her father’s place, accepting that she would be there forever. Never kidnapped her.
- it’s not about Stockholm’s Syndrome. Belle has all the power in the relationship, and she chooses to leave - twice. She returns not for his affections, but because she’s a compassionate and caring person and can’t let him suffer. She only fell in love with him when he started becoming a better person.
- The library thing is huge. When you see the contrast between Gaston and the villagers, vs Beast and his castle, she craved to see a world outside of her own, and that escape was books. In the village she was seen as odd and strange, mocked because she loves reading. The Beast not only has thousands of books, but he lets her read to him and is engaged. Any book lover would fall for that.
I think you should definitely watch the Live Action version. It has a lot more depth to it, from almost every character - including Gaston!
Just because you live in a castle and have servants doesn’t make you a prince or a king. And since this takes place in France in the 1700’s and isn’t Versailles or Tuileries, the beast is clearly not the king and probably not even a prince.
@@chrissmith6097 literally the first line of movie states he is a prince…
@@Miyanoai14 Hiyupp
@@chrissmith6097 did you watch the movie bruh
@@Miyanoai14
Narrator: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle.
Dude: He lived in France and wasn't a prince.
Just calling the narrator a liar! 😂😂
Billy, this movie was based on the French fairy tale of the same name. The moral IS to not judge a book by its cover and to treat all people with kindness, and Beauty/Belle actually took her father's place because he picked a rose from the Beast's garden (the only present she asked for when her older sisters were much more greedy) and she felt like it was her duty to take his place since it was her request which got him in trouble. But yes, she does feel more kindly towards him by the end of the story and sees past his monstrous appearance, and her love turns him back into his true form. It's only recently that people have started calling it a Stockholm syndrome story...I honestly never saw it like that as a kid.
"Where's Belle's mom at?" Yeah we don't talk about the mom's in Disney movies. Lol
You would think Billy would've learned by now with all these Disney movies lmao.
If there is one certainty in a Disney animated movie it's 'If you don't see the mom or dad, it's a pretty sure bet that they're dead.'
Hey Billy, to answer the question "Where's Belle's mom at?" I will answer your question of whether or not you should react to the live action Beauty and the Beast: Yes.
Except for TIANA AND LION KING HEHHEEHEE
Billy now you gotta watch prince of Egypt (it’s an animated biblical story) cause if you keep reacting to animated movies you can’t miss this gem #bingers
Prince of Egypt is so good! The music is just phenomenal!!
This suggestion is Top Tier Prince of Egypt is INCREDIBLE
Yes!
Please watch prince of Egypt at some point!!!
YES!!!!
The big thing I think you're missing with this movie is Belle was not actually kidnapped. She chose to stay at the castle in place of her father. And she could've left at any time. Remember she did just flat out run away when the Beast yelled at her. And she probably would never have come back if the wolves didn't attack her & the Beast had to save her.
Great video as always my dude!
Thank you for watching!!
LMAO! 😂 so glad you added the part where her dad says: "Where have you taken us Felipe???" My mom LOVES that line and every time we would get lost somewhere or someone was blaming someone for something that wasn't their fault she would reference this scene. She does this with every movie she watches but majority of them are from Disney movies. So, at this point most of what she says are quotes from Disney movies that nobody really remembers. And only we, her kids, do.
My favorite one she does is from Tarzan where Tantor the elephant says: "He enjoys a peanut. I enjoy a peanut." 😂 If you don't remember this go back and watch it. It's hilarious
Terk: he looks nothin like ya

@@elishawilson5342 Same :) lol I still keep up to date with all the kids movies. Just watched Hercules today and Encanto
@@Qtchicky12345678 that's great some things just never leave you
I think in the original story, the Beast was actually kind enough to welcome the father into his castle from the shadows. He left food out for him and let him rest there. It was when the father took something that he wasn't offered (a rose from the garden) that the Beast grew angry and imprisoned him.
I think that's more interesting as lore anyway, that the father had a hand in the imprisonment because he got a bit too greedy and comfortable in a space that wasn't his.
And he only let the father go if one of his daughters took his place, which Belle agreed to do, just as she did here.
tbh the most uncomfortable thing about the original was that he proposed to her every night
I think Enchanted Tales: Beauty and the Beast is better because I love the original story line of it compared to Disney’s storyline
@@MaidOfPasta the more uncomfortable thing was that they were first cousins. Imo.
Yeah, the live action version reintroduced that plot point.
The fact that billy wasn’t paying attention and didn’t hear that everyone in the castle was cursed until the very last scene
Honestly, the only thing this movie made me feel as a kid was envious of the Beast's library. I still want that library. That library is amazing.
Reducing this story to a Stockolm Syndrome would mean ignoring what the movie is telling us. Like Gaston who was haressing her like a prize. Or the villagers who said she was weird because she read. Despite her father, the Beast is the first one to try to go in her way, if you except the servants that were doing it mostly for themself. Sure, he was rude with her and kept her captive. Is everyone forgetting she put that on herself ? She could have get the help of the villagers, for example. But she decided to take her father's place. At some point, you have to consider some people are responsible for their situation. And I had a long time accepting it myself. Now that I'm making changes, sudendly, life is way bettrer.
Also, there is a theory, but I don't know what the text in english. In our french version, Lumiere mentioned that they were trapped for 10 years in this form. Giving the prince has until its 21 years birthday to fall in love and be loved in return, he may have been 11 when the old lady came to his house. And he doesn't seem to have parents around. No wonder he was so angry and bitter if everyone let him do what he wants.
Billy the prince was 11 when he was turned into a beast. Then spent his life not only believing but literally being a beast. Belle was just the first person to see him as anything but.
Wowwww. He was 11?? Holy crap. That witch is kinda awful then. It would be different if he were a bit older. Maybe late teen’s. But 11? Jesus Christ.
@@SusanaCanales1 Yeah, you can do the math and figure out his age from two lines in the movie. The first is the opening narration, which states that the enchanted rose will bloom until the Beast's 21st birthday (after which it'll wilt, and after the last petal falls, he'll be cursed forever). The second is that during "Be Our Guest", Lumiere says, "ten years we've been rusting". Meaning that it's definitively canon that the Beast was 11 when he was first cursed. Which....yes, is pretty fucked up.
@@kiryn5977 especially because he was punished for not letting a complete stranger into his home at the age of eleven. Which is completely normal for a child.
He was definitely not 11, as you can tell from the portrait and the stained glass window.
He didn't "kidnap" her, she volunteered to stay in place of her father, who did technically trespass into the local royal's castle.
Right!!! She literally volunteered to stay there, she could have not stayed there if she wanted to
Yeah, but she tried to leave but ofc the wolves had to come out. He did kidnap her, she was in a dungeon
@@EmilyHernandez-jt4cs she tried to leave but Beast saved her life, and that’s when Belle saw that there might be more to him. So she wanted to help him out. It’s not as if she had to stay there when the wolves attacked lol. You should watch this video on the movie, it’s pretty interesting: m.th-cam.com/video/p54tpokHrpo/w-d-xo.html
@@beyondviolet Kk. But other than that there’s bestaily? I don’t think I spelled that right.
@@EmilyHernandez-jt4cs well since he was basically a person I think it’s just being a furry but idk lol
You keep saying Beast “kidnapped” Belle.
Dude, whose idea was it for Belle to even stay in the first place? (Hint: it wasn’t Beast).
@btamamura trespassing or not, holding someone against their will is kidnapping. Belle taking his place still makes her kidnapped
@@unkn0wn807 is imprisoning someone because of stealing and trespassing (crimes) considered kidnapping lol.
Someone free all the kidnapped people in prison.
@@ahmed_4202 that is kidnapping, you don’t have the authority to do that. Prisons have the right and authority to. Common sense
@@unkn0wn807 this movie is based on times were these were within the beasts rights to do so. So yes he did have the authority to do so.
@@ahmed_4202 he was invited in his his home by the servants, no trespassing happening. Idk where you got stealing. So again what authority
Thing is, Belle has total agency in her time at the castle, which means Stockholm Syndrome doesn't apply. She does everything on her own terms, setting conditions on Beast, while he changes his behavior to suit her.
This film is not actually about stockholm syndrome, but, as you said, about not judging a book by its cover. The stockholm syndrome victim doesn't behave like Belle. Belle talks back, argues, raises her voice and gets respect from the Beast. Even though she is a prisoner, she can basically do whatever she wants and she gets to be treated by the Beast as an equal. It creates a relationship of equality, despite the way it was born. In stockholm syndrome, on the other hand, the victim always maintains a position of inferiority and submission.
In any case, I loved the reaction, you should also watch the live action!
Tangled or Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame would be better representations of stockholm syndrom.
@@demetriatorowus9735 I agree, and in fact the films show how that rapresents a wrong behavior and a wrong state of mind: both Rapunzel and Quasimodo at the end escape from their submissive and sick conditions and fight.
@@demetriatorowus9735 tangled is different though rapunzel thought gothel was her mom
@@mxhsvn_b7866 Also true (and Quasimodo thought Frollo was his saviour). So there isn't a proper disney film about stockholm, just "more or less".
Uh did we watch the same movie, she does definitely NOT get treated equal from the beast
The fact this was nominated as best picture when it came out is a huge testament to how good it is as a film not just an animated film. It’s probably the gold standard for Disney
Fun fact! The three blonde girls who throw themselves at Gaston are actually all voiced by Paige O’Hara, who is the voice of Belle!
No she doesn't. If you watch the DVD commentary the directors mention how they're actually two women who voice the three silly girls.
Last book I read was called,”My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me.”
It’s written by the biracial granddaughter of the infamous Amon Goeth, the Nazi concentration camp commandant.
It’s a very good read.
This is NOT Stockholm syndrome. That has been disproved so many times. The live-action does explain what happened to her mom, but that's the only good thing I can say about it.
What’s wrong with the live action one it’s Emma Watson she did it so well
@@charliepa_4506 personally for me it was the AWFUL autotune in emma watson's singing
I was agreeing whole-heartedly with you until you dissed the live-acion film.
@@nothudanasir true but the acting was quite good if I do say so
I can't even say that as a good thing... because it's completely unrelated to the story in any way or on any level. Leaving it out entirely makes absolutely zero difference.
This film is home to me. Pure magic and wonder. Moment after moment takes my breath away, I think it’s a miracle it even exists.
@@RR-lh1kv Very good, it *is* a witch in the opening during the inciting incident. ;)
This, Ariel, and Snow White is actually my least favourite classics
@@naylisyazwina6836 Well, at least I can side with you on not liking the Little Mermaid very much. I think it gets too much credit for starting the Renaissance anyway. *cough* Great Mouse Detective *cough*
Always been my favorite Disney movie! They definitely captured magic ✨
This film is like home to me too. Just for that i have seen it like a 1000 times as a kid. And for the soundtrack, that I still humm to myself from time to time, and that brings back my most cherished childhood memories.
Just love the classic, hand drawn animation. The beast shows so much emotion in his animation, especially through all that fur. Love it! And yes, I know they went on to make this into a Broadway musical, but in the making of behind the scenes videos, I think the main cast (Belle, Beast and Gaston) were all previously Broadway singers before coming to Disney, so yes that's why they all sound so good :)
At one point they yelled at Paige O'Hara calling her Ethel Merman because she was so loud.
This is my absolute favorite movie ever. I've loved it since I was a little girl. It was the first Disney movie I watched that had a female lead character that loved to read as much as I did (and still do). I relate so much to Belle and her attitude to everything, no matter what happens to her in life. When Gaston insults her or disrepects her interests or her father, she doesnt insult him back. She's always kind no matter the circumstances. But even though she's kind, shes not a pushover. She doesnt take shit from anyone, not even Beast. She's always had my respect. Ilove her so much.
I always saw this more as two lonely people learning to open up and let someone in. Though she technically agrees to trade her freedom for her father's, she's never treated as a prisoner, being given free access to the castle and grounds and everything in them (excepting Beast's personal quareters, which she probably would have accepted, no questions asked, if he hadn't been so squirrelly about it and just said "those are my personal quarters, please don't go there). It's quite clear that only Belle's word of honor is keeping her there, considering how easily she left before the wolf encounter. Without the wolves, she would have gone home with no consequences.
There’s a realistic depiction of two teens almost opening up to each other but struggling with emotional traumas that prevents them until they’ve gone through far too much suffering. It’s called Neon Genesis Evangelion
@@AgntFL Yes. That's all about the inability to open up because of trauma.
@@SevHighwind86 never said that’s what it was ALL about, but it is a rather big factor in there character journeys
@@AgntFL I am agreeing with you. That is a really good major point in that series is people not being able to open up.
@@SevHighwind86 sorry, can never be too sure on the internet, but yeah their childhood traumas are the biggest focuses for the two main children
The man who named, Stockholm Syndrome, Nils Bejerot, said Belle doesn't have Stockholm Syndrome. He didn't live to see the Disney version, but she doesn't act like someone with it anywhere in the movie: First and foremost (since Billy wasn't "letting it go") Beast didn't kidnap her. Belle offered to take her father's place. Next, she argues and yells with Beast while she is his "prisoner." Not something people with Stockholm Syndrome would do. She also leaves once before Beast starts developing feelings for her ("Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute"). People with this syndrome wouldn't want to leave or be able to leave. The Beast is definitely doing bad things as a result of his issues and spoiled lifestyle, but I think there is a better argument for Beast having Lima Syndrome: a captor developing emotions (sympathetic or any other good emotions) for their captive than there is for Belle having Stockholm Syndrome.
He also made up the entire thing based on the word of law enforcement about bank robbery hostages the cops nearly got killed out of incompetence. He never spoke or interviewd any of the hostages when he came up with it
It was really hard to watch when he kept insisting that beast kidnapped belle.
@@raepark1000 ikr. Belle offered to be his prisoner not the Beast. it's such a shame that he didn't grasp that.
@@alexlynn5111 yep! The hostages weren't so much developing positive feelings for the criminals, as they were furious at the police
@@JBWinter Yupp and the Police couldnt concieve that they were the ones fucking up and then some hack psychologist who never even spoke to any of them decides the cops must be right

True Beast acts like a hypocrite in the first movie.
One detail I would like to point out:
The last flower petal was set to fall on the beast’s 21st birthday. The candle said during the Be Our Guest song “Ten years we’ve been rusting!” This means that the enchantress literally put a devastating curse on a 11 year old boy for being shallow and unkind. I understand that the prince was a jerk, but he was just a child! Did the punishment really fit the crime? I would say no.
To me, the enchantress is a villain herself, cursing kids and also punishing a whole castle’s worth of servants for the act of a child.
I never thought of that..
The enchantress and the Prince's parents for not teaching him respect
Also the prince shouldn’t have answered the door in the first place a butler should have. A lot of kids act disrespectfully sometimes it doesn’t mean they need cursed lol
That's why they changed that "10 years" line in the live action remake.
Actually, it never says the last petal would fall on his 21st birthday it says the rose would bloom until his 21st year. We have no idea how long it took the petals to fall. Maybe they'd been slowly falling for years, and he was in his late twenties by the time the last one falls. That would mean he was in his late teens when she cursed him, still rough, but less crazy. But I agree that the Enchantress was cold as hell for cursing the whole friggin' castle full of servants. I really didn't think their "fix" for that in the live action one was any better.
They added more to the live action that I liked where the other people in the castle explain that they had to be punished too because they watched him turn from a sweet boy to a spoiled brat and just encouraged him and were all to blame for him becoming what he was when he got punished.
"I should've known... Anytime we start off with a happy song somebody has to die." 🤣
As a little girl who's always been in love with books, reading and magical worlds hidden inside pages and pages of story, Belle was and still is, obviously, my favorite princess. I identified a lot w/ her, and the movie did teach me that i shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and to always be gentle with everyone, no matter who they were. It's a shame people nowadays have been throwing those beautiful messages away because of accusations of "Stockholm Syndrome" - it just diminishes the role and control Belle has of her own story and life. She stays and leaves whenever she wants to, she refused Gaston not because she loved someone else, but because she wanted more to life, he would never understand or accept her being smart, a reader, a dreamer or a determined woman - he wanted what was expected from women back then, and she never backed out from her ideals, not even once.
Beast gains her love by understanding to control his own rage, and showing his sensitive, gentle and smart sides - all traits Belle wanted from the start. There was no one else in that village that could save Beast other than Belle, and there was no one there that could understand Belle. They were a perfect match.
I hope that if you get kidnapped you don’t fall for your capter just bc they do something nice for you
@@eleniyakanfalk5965 did you even read my comment before copying and pasting this answer here? Lmao. Belle only comes to love the Beast when she's totally free and sees he actually changed. She didn't say she loved the Beast as soon as he gave her an entire library, even though she clearly enjoyed this act. It was the whole package of small actions and changes she noticed in him. Stockholm Syndrome doesn't mean you come to love your captor because they did something nice to you - your captor doesn't change, they're still shitty and abusive towards the captive one. Regardless of that, the victim still comes to love them, and even excuses their bad behavior, which Belle never does - she confronts and criticises Beast when he's in the wrong or treats her badly. Disney's Rapunzel per example, Gothel isn't a nice person at all and Rapunzel still loves her. She doesn't change, Rapunzel knows and still complies.
As I said, Belle is the protagonist of her own story and *never* lets Beast treat her like shit in any way whatsoever. Please learn how to think about stuff instead of just eating up whatever twitter threads serve you.
Beauty and the Beast is definitely one of the greatest films ever made, not just in animation, but overall storytelling and music are some of the best ever made. Also want to bring up this isn't Stockholm syndrome because in order for it to be, Belle would have not been willing to fight back or run away, which is something many seem to overlook with this film.
Is your pfp the dude from Jumanji? Like the guy who played the father and the psycho killer after Robin Williams character???
@@MIMITAS29 Yes XD
@@jish55 hell yeah! ✊🏼 love that movie!
Sorry but the definition of stockholm syndrome is the "condition in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their captors during captivity". That's it. She was his hostage and she developed a bond with her captor during captivity. It was stockholm syndrome. It is a beautiful film but if you took it out of a fairytale reality and had a friend tell you that she was going to get married and when you ask how they met replies with, "Oh well, he threatened to imprison my father so I let him hold me hostage instead. He tried to prevent me eating unless I ate with him, basically trying to force me into a romantic relationship but you know, after talking and showing me his books, I really started to fall for him, so it's okay." You would not be okay with that and be encouraging her to call the cops.
Because this is a fairytale and we know things aren't as literal and more idealized, the story is different but it is, by definition, stockholm because not willing to fight back or run away at times is not a requirement.
Lindsay Ellis did a pretty good video examining whether B&tB shows us Stockholm Syndrome (she ultimately comes down on the side that it doesn't but she makes very good points as to exactly why.) Stockholm Syndrome is a very nebulous thing that's more of a pop-culture idea of a psychological state rather than something clearly defined and proven to exist; and the story-arc of the movie belongs more to the Beast than to Belle, who functionally changes or grows very little--she never really judges his looks, (apart from possibly an understandable overall sense of 'yikes' when first confronted by a beast in a dungeon where her father is captive,) but judges his behaviour towards her. When his behaviour improves, so does her response to him.
It was the music and big Broadway scenes that I fell for and it definitely convinced me and I accepted it as a great movie lol
In fairness, both of Todrick's versions of the song are absolutely flawless.
Random story... the voice of Belle (Paige O'Hara) was showing her paintings for the first time at a random gallery in one of the casinos in Vegas years ago. We happened to be at a rare book shop across the way. When we came out we saw the sign that she had been there doing a signing and went in just to look at the paintings. Guy walked over, we assumed he was a salesperson. Turns out it was Paige's manager/husband. He spoke with us for a few then disappeared. Came back a few minutes later with Paige and we ended up chatting with her for over an hour. She sounds exactly like Belle... it was a little disconcerting. Funny, really humble woman. Just had a blast talking about whatever came up. One of the more random things I've ever had happen.
It's not Stockholm Syndrome so much as the Beast finally learning to be considerate and caring of others and thereby, in Belle's eyes, deserving of her respect and attention. The "who could ever learn to love a beast" intro is more about his behavior which lead to his curse than about his looks.
Agreed
Beauty and the beast is one of my favorite Disney movies and no, it's not stockholm syndrome because every time beast reacted in a bad way she responds back, it's only when he changes when she's more receptive to him. Also disney+ doesn't have the extended version with the "Human again" song, it shows the past of time maybe more and how the relationship evolved
the song is actually kinda unnecessary, it doesn't bring much to the story. we can clearly see the past of time with you know, the snow coming and thawning. you don't need a phd to understand it
I actually really love this movie because there's so many messages. As I got older I realized that Beast was their Prince, so why did nobody remember him?? The one thing that I really liked about the live action was the fact that they explained that with the sorceress spell it wiped their memory
Back againn to your old posts! I forgot how funny you did this movie, ngl I'm actually thinking about watching this again tonight on Disney+ 🖤
i understand the reservations towards the romance in this movie, but Lindsay Ellis has two wonderful videos where the first one debunks the stockholm syndrome issue and the second one compares this movie to the live-action remake and actually goes over a lot of other points that seemed to bother you :)
Belle is my favorite disney princess. 💗 And no, he didn’t kidnap her, she took her father’s place forcefully so he could be free. Also, this is my millionth time askin but: Billy, what you be sayin at the beginning of your intros? Im tryna say it with you
Now why did I read as “ Billy is my favorite Disney princess”😂
That's technically kidnapping to hold someone against their will.
She didn't have a choice. She loved her father and the Beast had all the power.
@@crystalsnow1138 holding someone hostage ≠ kidnapping
@@deeniemcqueen he legit yelled at her to get out and she did 😭 she didnt have to go back but she did . it was HER choice
Beauty's Sisters are the main antagonists of the 1740 French fairytale Beauty and the Beast, originally written by the late Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and later adapted and shortened by the Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont (whose version is the best-known version today). It was an older movie as well she at one time had sisters.
Last fiction book I read was “Last True Poets of the Sea” by Julia Drake and the last non-fiction book I read was “The Mother of Black Hollywood” by Jenifer Lewis! Both were spectacular.
I hate it when people say belle had “Stockholm syndrome” I don’t believe that to be true, she knew he was a good man deep down and chose to be with him despite his temper. He was misunderstood and needed a second chance and she was willing to give that to him. Growing up this was/is one of my favorite films and always grew up thinking that beauty was on the inside.
This was my favorite Disney movie as a kid too. But their relationship was toxic, Stockholm or not. It's a bad example for children.
....He locked her dad in a dungeon where he could have died from hypothermia or starvation. Then he locked her in that dungeon. That's not a misunderstanding. That is his character. And people don't change because of love from another person. Especially not someone they abused. I don't like the message this movie is sending, and I feel like people justify it because of the beautiful music and visuals. The idea of the "bad boy with a heart of gold" who changes because of one girl, who is held to a much higher moral standard and endures bad treatment from him. And its sad because I used to love this movie.
@@minae.d4540 Her father broke into his castle, so he was rightfully imprisoned as a trespasser. Then Belle traded her freedom for her father's so that she would be imprisoned instead of him. You're right, it wasn't a misunderstanding. Belle's dad did something wrong and Belle paid the price so that her father didn't have to. It's not Stockholm Syndrome and don't trespass.
@@minae.d4540 Also, Beast IMMEDIATELY moved her to a nice bedroom instead of the dungeon and allowed her access to the entire castle (with, of course, the exception of the west wing).
Legit, once he stopped acting like a child, he was able to empathize which she noticed.
I agree, also Stockholm syndrome is when someone changes their behaviour out of fear, Belle's not scared of him.
I’m a bookish natural brunette, and Belle was my role model growing up alongside Hermione Granger. I modeled so much of my worldview and morals after this movie and its teachings. It truly has such a special place in my heart.
That's really sweet!😊 And how wonderful to have utilised these fabulous role models (fantasy, animation, book character, whatever!) to guide your own life & have decent morals! Great forethought as a kid!😉
Have a good one, from Australia ❤🇦🇺
You crack me up! Thanks I needed that laugh after the long day working at the hospital
This is one of my favorite movies. Belle agreed to stay & could go anywhere in the castle except the Beast's rooms. If you watch the Christmas movie you see their romance blossom.
This movie is my favorite, and I was hoping you wouldn't go the "It's Stockholm Syndrome!" route, because that's really missing the point. You had it from the beginning: it's about not judging a book by its cover. Belle's way more reasonable about the whole thing than you can expect most people to be, but she gives as good as she gets.
As for the live action, be my guest, but it's pretty much just there as a nostalgic money-grab and to address the "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" internet criticisms that have sprung up over the 20 years since this one came out. Hoo boy, if you thought the Beast was bad in this one.... It was also directed by the guy who brought us both Breaking Dawn movies. #bingers
Side note, this was the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars back when they only had 5 nominees, and is the reason the Best Animated Feature category was added the following year.
So much of this movie makes a lot more sense if you read it through the lens of Howard Ashman, producer and lyricist. Who was also a gay man dying of AIDS, who did not live to see the final film, who the film is dedicated to, for giving it its soul. Other people have touched on the "look, it's not actually Stockholm Syndrome" thing already, but what it truly is having two outcasts of society finding understanding and love in each other. Beast needed to learn not to judge people by their cover (including himself!) Belle needed to find a place where she belonged and could have real friends (Love aside, the castle staff actually understood and cared about her as a person, not just as the weird pretty girl next door!). All of which were something that Howard Ashman, gay and well aware that he would soon be another casualty of the AIDS crisis, understood implicitly. His influence on The Little Mermaid and, to a slightly lesser extent, Aladdin, are part of why those three films are so iconic compared to later Renaissance Disney films like Pocahontas and (sorry Billy) Hercules.
Also the song in the end credits is Beauty and the Beast sung by Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion and holy sh*t I forgot how much better the music is in the original than the live action its breathtaking
"Are they lovers?"
No, they're just french.
I've seen this movie dozens of times and it's my favorite Disney. And I just realized that The Beast is a lycanthrope aka werewolf after Billy asked if the wolves weren't his homies! 😂🤦🏻
Billy please watch the LIVE ACTION VERSION. You will love it!!! #bingers
"Nothing with vampires or wolves." Literally just read a young adult reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood (Red Wolf)
OMG I had no idea you watched this channel DF, but I know how much you love this story, so I shouldn't be too surprised lol.
What book is this? I'm intrigued
omg I love red wolf! It was so fucking good! 😩
Ooh, I finished that a week ago, I loved it
well technically he didn't kidnap her she the one that came to his house and decided to trade places with her father and plus she could've left and gone home after he saved her from the wolves but she decided to go back so it's really her fault when you think about it
13:25 “This candle is wildin’ right now!”
Basically Lumiere this whole movie. XD
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!
Beast was 11 (in this) when he was transformed and definitely was stuck with that preteen temper. I might be a little controversial here, but I'd recommend checking out the live adaptation to see the changes they brought to it. Gaston, Lefou, Belle, Maurice and Belle's mom are all given depth in a way we (those of us who grew up in the Disney Renaissance) couldn't imagine.
i think he was 11 in like the fairytale cause it would be weird for the enchantress to punish him at age 11. i always thought young adult in the movie
Belle's mom's backstory was completely unnecessary, they made belle aware of the curse which leads to questioning if she actually cared for Beast for who he is inside and personality-wise instead of "oooh so he's a prince, interesting" (i know she can see the castle is enchanted in the cartoon but she doesn't know why), they also changed important character development for both Belle and Beast to "empower" a female protagonist but the way they did was absolute cringey. Gaston was forgettable in it, as well as Lefou cuz his subplot lead to nowhere. He's a side character, he's not important to the story. The live action remake doesn't give depth in any way.
I never agreed with the take that Beast was 11 when he was cursed. I get what people base it on, but the stained glass prologue clearly shows him as a young adult during the encounter with the Enchantress. I think the "ten years" line was Lumiere exaggerating, but even if it's true, the spell could easily arrest the prince's aging once he's a beast. The prologue even states that "he would be doomed to remain a beast *for all time* ", leading me to believe that in that form, he's immortal, but not invincible... meaning he would live forever *unless* he was killed.
He was not 11 oh my god Lumiere wasn't serious about the 10 years line
@@Emisop then why being so damn specific? he could have just said "for so long" or something like that
“Non GMO Hercules and Tarzan” oh god I’ve been laughing for 5 minutes straight, I can’t unsee it now! 😂😂😂😂

No matter how many times I watch this, that scene at the beginning with the music and the castle on the background, always, always gives me goosebumps.
Yeah, me too. When I was a kid the music in the opening always gave me chills.
Your shirt "How about no" is perfect for this movie commentary 🤣🤣🤣
Keep in mind Descendants is not a continuation of any original Disney classic. It is a retelling of a shared universe that feature original stories where none of the villains tied but in reality a large number of them do

Wait till he sees Emma Watson’s belle
@@jamieandfriends2442 the only reason I watched the live action was because of Emma (I don’t like live action Disney movies too much but I love Harry Potter so I had to watch it) she’s probably one of my favorite actresses lol
Couple of things:
1. To answer your question about who is singing the duet version of the song at the end, it's Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson. Angela Lansbury sings it as Mrs. Potts while they're dancing in the film.
2. This has always been my absolute favorite Disney movie and Belle has always been my princess. She's incredibly intelligent, brave, selfless, and strong enough to stand against the Beast rather than cower at the sight of him. She's pretty much the first person ever in his life that has called him out on his bull, and that's why he falls in love with her. It is him falling in love with her, and not the other way around, that causes the change in him. It is only after he changes his ways that she reciprocates. It really is the don't judge the book by its cover movie that you wanted; after all, if she hadn't been able to see the changes in him and see beyond the exterior, the happily ever after wouldn't have happened.
Thank you. Was just going to answer that question
Hi. Great reaction. Hugh Jackman played Gaston in the stage musical in 1996. He won a Tony award for his performance as Peter Allen in the musical The Boy From Oz. Who would have guessed that the man who played Wolverine can really sing and dance? The Les Mis movie came later, of course.
It's a blessing that I found your channel 🙏
Beauty and the beast is my favorite movie. I watch it when my anxiety is high, or I’m having one of my bad days with depression. Belle is my second favorite Disney princess and when I watched this movie when I was a child, all I saw was a woman who saw something in a man that he did not see. He only saw a monster. She saw something else. To each their own when it comes to messages, but if you don’t look at the surface only, you can see that it’s so much more than that.
#bingers Ever After
My all time favorite Disney movie, right above "Brother Bear".

OMG Stardust is so underrated! The twist at the end really got me lol.
“I know he’s not going to die because how would they make a descendants”
Well billy you just saw Gaston die and yet he is still alive and has a kid in descendants 2 and 3
And evil queen died and Jafar was turned into a genie
but what if he had his child before? I won't be surprised if he had spent some times with these ladies who were crazy for him, if you see what I mean...
"Where's Belle's mom at?"
She's a Disney princess. Disney princesses of this Era and earlier don't get to have moms unless they're evil stepmothers.
This is the only Disney princess movie that my dad has seen and he loves it. It’s his favorite. When I was little, he’d put the movie on in the background and when the ballroom scene came on he would have me stand on his toes and would teach me to waltz while it played. It’s one of my fondest memories.
It still hurts me inside when someone refers to this relationship as “Stockholm syndrome.”
😣
People really do not know how Stockholm syndrome works.... Because there are several points in this movie that contradicts Stockholm syndrome... Just saying
yeah me too
So if people didn't notice, the book belle reads at the start kinda foreshadows the story.
so going into the castle and choosing to become a prisoner, Belle knew about enchantments.
she even says "i've never been in an enchanted castle before" to cogsworth and lumiere.
So she knew the beast was a man, confirmed by the ripped picture she saw part of in his room.
and yeah, she didn't actually like him until she could see his heart coming through. Also, he did let her go... and she chose to come back because he had saved her from the wolves. "if you hadn't of frightened me, i wouldn't have run away" she actually liked being at the castle and all it's enchantments. I mean, imagine if all you do is read books about "far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells... a prince in disguise!" and then actually got to live in it... it's like being in book nerd heaven. XP
i remember most people i knew, when this came out, were attracted to gaston...
as much as I love prince Adam, that transformation scene where it startes up his nose is kinda ugly LOL
I’ve been saying this for the longest 😁😁😁
i don't think she believed Beast used to be a man and that's why she had some doubts when he transformed at the end, the reason she says she's never been to an enchanted castle is because she can clearly see objects talking and moving.

Hilarious commentary. This was actually one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. Still is
This Movie Is My Childhood
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS MAGICAL AND PERFECT
I love this movie. As a kid, I always figured Beast imprisoned Belle's dad because he couldn't risk the dad going back to the village and bringing back an army with pitchforks (which is what happened). Also, he was cursed when he was 11 - I'd say most 11 year olds can be a bit stupid and selfish at times.
Ok I’m definitely loving your reactions to this film . You made it more entertaining
Belle may have been The Beast's prisoner, but that was to free her father who was imprisioned wrongfully. Belle was completely unselfish in that trade. Her love for her father was that strong. Now Belle confronts The Beast on his bad behavior. She didn't put up with it. He needed her confrontation to change, to see he was wrong in his behavior. He was a ruler, so no one else confronted him like she did. They only told him (from what we see) he needed to control his temper. And Belle only really confronted him after he saved her life. She saw some good in him when he saved her and she in turned helped him back to the castle. That good in The Beast was deep down in his heart, but up until that point he only showed this selfish side of himself, but I believe his remorse for how he acted is why he went to save her. I believe. The Beast wanted to do something for her because she was saving him from being this horrible person and thus the library and when it came down to it his genuine love for her is what had him let her go rescue her father. Regarding Gaston: he never got saved by Belle or anyone else because he was 100% selfish and jealous. He only wanted Belle for her looks because her being the prettiest girl in town made her a trophy wife in his eyes. Belle could see he never genuinely cared for her nor her father, so she wasn't interested in him. Frankly I'm with her. A good heart is better than good looks and a bad heart.
No, this is NOT an example of Stockholm syndrome!
Belle is not taken hostage: she chooses to remain in the Beast’s castle.
Belle Is Not With Beast All the Time; She’s Left Alone
Belle Doesn’t Care About Survival Or Change Her Attitude About the Situation
Belle does not change her negative attitude towards the Beast until he stops intimidating her and treats her better.
When Belle is released from the deal she made with the Beast, Belle chooses to leave and return to her home.
Belle Does Not Return to the Castle to Be a Prisoner, But to Prevent Murder
Belle does not have negative feelings towards her rescuers because she has no rescuers: she was set free.
This story would exemplify Stockholm Syndrome only if Belle sympathized with Gaston and the townspeople after Gaston threatens her, harasses her father, locks her and her father in the basement, and then Belle exhibits negative feelings towards Chip when he rescues Belle and Maurice from the basement.
@@brandi3981 because "old Disney princess bad"... Such tiring arguments pretending these princesses aren't good role models.
Like for real... A woman with Stockholm syndrome wouldn't yell at their kidnapper like she did... I tried to explain that no one listens
I felt that after he saved her, it allowed them to have a conversation and reach common ground. The library was not only a romantic gesture but a gesture to show he does regret his actions.
I liked the theory that it is not Stockholm syndrome, but the opposite: where it is him falling for her vs. her him.
I also think it is not Stockholm because she still had her own mind and stood up for herself.
This is my favourite Disney movie ❤ also, currently rereading Twilght again after watching your vids 😂 and the Wheel of Time series. I'm on book 7 of 14 and it's fantastic. Super high fantasy and I absolutely recommend it.
The "Bloom" trilogy is a horror series by Kenneth Oppel. I love it so much and I'm on "Hatch" the second book.
The most magical thing for me in this movie was the library. I would live with the beast for that library
#Bingers I loved this!! One series you must do is the Pirates of the Caribbean series!!
#Bingers This!!! ☝️☝️ Pirates of the Caribbean for sure!

The last book I read was called Please Don't Tell My Parents I Blew Up the Moon.
It's the second in a series. The MC is the daughter of two retired super heroes and she decides to have some fun as a super villain for a while after developing her powers before she grows up to join the family business.
