* The scene in which the mob comes to take Belle's father away. When Belle asks him to stop and he says he'll only help her if she marries him, not only does Gaston gives her a ForcefulKiss, but when she [[BitchSlap slaps him in retaliation]], he ''almost punches her''. He only stops because the rest of the mob were still watching this and gasps in horror, so he decided not to hurt Belle ''just so he can save face''. Very frightening and not very Disney-esque.

** And among other things, the music preceding that part and leading into it. There's a good reason it didn't appear on the original soundtrack.

* The creepy spidery coach-thing that whirrs like an angry insect hive as it transports Maurice back to the village. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse You never see this thing again]] during the rest of the film. It makes you wonder where it's hiding. Or what it ''used to be''.
* Monsieur D'Arque, the asylum owner, is WAAAAAAY scarier than even the actual Beast himself, and is more evil and sadistic than Gaston. Played by [[Creator/TonyJay the same person]] who voiced [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Frollo]], and looked like Frollo.

** [[https://i1.wp.com/www.caps.media/199/1-beauty-and-the-beast/full/beauty-and-the-beast-disneyscreencaps.com-5155.jpg And then there's that mutilated portrait.]] It's not enough that it was made with that creepy straight-ahead stare, the eyes just had to be the ''only'' intact part of the painting.

** That's nothing when you take into account the former option for Gaston's death: when stabbing The Beast on the roof before falling off, he reacted while falling to his doom in a very similar fashion to Heath Ledger's Joker when Batman threw him off the roof in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''.

** The second chase as well. There's a reason that pack is the page image for SavageWolves. Belle and Philippe try to ride in the snow, only to get surrounded by wolves. His reins snag on a tree, and Belle is left to defend her horse with a stick. The wolves are smart; one grabs her cape when the other pounces. If not for the Beast, Belle would have died then and there.

** According to WordOfGod, Gaston was originally supposed to survive the fall and then get eaten by said wolves in a deleted scene. It was deemed too dark, though it was eventually recycled for ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' with hyenas instead of wolves.

*** If you recall that she has a human form as a housemaid and that her feathers correspond to her skirt, this could be considered the same thing as rape, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil which is so much worse.]] The evil chuckling from the villager and Lumiere's reaction add to the effect. Consider that Lumiere probably gave that guy 3rd degree burns on his butt which seem a little harsh otherwise.

* Maurice has the sense to say he's leaving when the Beast appears, realizing he's not welcome. Whereas his film counterpart was too ill to move, he nearly walks out the door since the wolves seem safer than this unknown master. The Beast grabs him, taking out his anger on a random stranger and imprisoning him.

* The scene in which the mob comes to take Belle's father away. When Belle asks him to stop and he says he'll only help her if she marries him, not only does Gaston gives her a ForcefulKiss, but when she [[BitchSlap slaps him in retaliation]], he ''almost punches her''. He only stops because the rest of the mop were still watching this and gasps in horror, so he decided not to hurt Belle ''just so he can save face''. Very frightening and not very Disney-esque.

* The Beast's first full appearance (see above image), when he furiously confronts and drags away Maurice for trespassing in his castle. It's distinctly more bestial than his usual look and his eyes are depicted much larger and piercing than they usually are, [[UncannyValley creating an eerie sensation]], overall looking like something out of a nightmare.

* During "Belle", it's mentioned that everyday is the same as the last, nothing ever changes. It's all the same, from one day into the next. Only the seasons seem to change. Taking into account the 2017 live action film, how the baker was Mrs. Potts' husband and Chip's father, no one in the village has aged or changed since the curse was put in place.

** Another bit from the battle scene where Lefou backs Lumiere into a corner with a torch. The following close-up shows Lumiere's terrified expression as the flames ''slowly melt his wax head''. Thankfully Cogsworth shows up a second later in a BigDamnHeroes moment, but it's still a pretty tense moment.

* Gaston suddenly stabbing the Beast [[InTheBack in the side]] with a huge SlasherSmile on his face even after the Beast spared his life.
