There are other alterations that contradict the movies, though -- in ''The Beast Within'', where Belle sees and hears the transformed servants as {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s, the Beast only sees inanimate objects turning up in odd places. ''Sees'' is the key term -- he can ''hear'' them speaking to themselves and/or Belle if he doesn't ''see'' them.

* WritersCannotDoMath: ''The Beast Within'' scraps the movie's implication that the Beast was cursed when he was only eleven years old, but keeps the condition of the curse becoming permanent when he turns 21. It's not clear at all how much time passes over the course of the story -- he is old enough to be engaged when he's cursed, and several months pass as the curse begins to take effect, but then years pass after that. Thus the Beast's age remains in doubt.
