History WesternAnimation / BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992

** This can also be a case of AdaptationalAttractiveness to the ugly evil fairy from Villeneuve's version, but with the flipside of a heroic charcter having AdaptationalUgliness [[spoiler: which is downplayed with Clara, who is the good fairy]].

* {{Expy}}: Clara is one to [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Mrs. Potts]], right down to the similar clothing. That said, while she looks like Mrs. Potts and serves a similar function, her personality and attitude is much more grumpier and frank than the original.
** To be fair, she is also arguably based on the good fairy from the original story, although the main thing they have in common is being [[spoiler: the evil fairy's sister.]]

* HateSink: Alicia and Pauline do just about everything they can to get the audience to hate them, being lazy, vile bitches.

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: True to Creator/GoldenFilms, most if not all of the background music is this.

-->'''Clara''': [[spoiler: Look at that, they're gonna get married! Get it you miserable wretch?! Your curse is broken and now you're powerless!]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In Villeneuve's original version of the fairy tale, the heroine was the daughter of a king and a good fairy. A wicked fairy had tried to murder the heroine so she could marry her father and the heroine put in the place of the merchant's deceased daughter to protect her.

''Beauty and the Beast'' is a 1992 animated film by Creator/GoldenFilms and Creator/GoodTimesEntertainment about the story of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast''. Golden Films made [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1999 another version of this story as well]] without the help of [=GoodTimes=].

** [[spoiler: The evil fairy's clearly going out of her way to convince Beauty to abandon him just so the Beast will die.]]
** This can also be a case of AdaptationalAttractiveness to the ugly evil fairy from de Villeneuve's version but with the flipside of a heroic charcter having AdaptationalUgliness [[spoiler: which is downplayed with Clara who is the good fairy]].

* BigGood: [[spoiler: Clara, after revealing herself as the evil fairy's sister, is implied to be this for the entire movie. Judging from the way she advises Beauty to decide for herself how she feels about the Beast instead of listening to hearsay from others, it looks as though Clara's been working all this time to subtly try and undo the curse her sister put on the Beast.]]

* CrocodileTears: Alicia and Pauline make these to keep Beauty from returning to the dying Beast.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:The Beast goes through this when Beauty returns too late to save him. Fortunately, Beauty finally agreeing to marry him brings him back to life, and turn him human again.]]
* DistractedByTheLuxury: Once she finds out the Beast isn’t intent on killing her but only asks that she not leave the castle, Beauty takes the nice room and fine dresses she’s given afterward as a sign that he’s truly gentle and kind.

* FatAndSkinny: Alicia's the fat to Pauline's skinny, yet interestingly it's the skinny sister who's always falling over and acting clumsy, much to Alicia's annoyance when she even lampshades it.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Beauty is the only blonde seen in the story and appropriately is innocent, demure, and altruistic.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: The Beast wears a fancy jacket and boots, but rather jarringly, no pants.
* HateSink: Alicia and Pauline do just about everything they can to get the audience to hate them by being lazy, vile bitches.

* HypercompetentSidekick[=/=]AlmightyJanitor: Clara is the only person who works in the castle, yet she keeps the place spotless, prepares all the meals, and tends to the roses and keeps them blooming even in winter. It helps that she does have some magical abilities, but it appears she does most of the housework by hand. Beauty is implied to be helping her while living in the castle. [[spoiler: Clara's also the one who saves the day when she fetches Beauty after her sisters manipulate her into staying a day longer to make the Beast die.]]

** To compensate for Beauty about to be killed by him, the Beast gives her family a giant chest of jewels and gold, which they use to move back to the city. He also decides shortly thereafter that he can't bring himself to kill Beauty after all, either because he's already fallen for her or because he realizes that she was innocent in all this.
** Clara, a grumpy, somewhat DeadpanSnarker not afraid to speak her mind, but loyal to her master and prone to giving Beauty advice on trusting her instincts.

* KindlyHousekeeper: Clara tries to cheer Beauty upon their first meeting, and seems to genuinely care for the Beast's welfare even with his {{Jerkass}} tendencies.

* PapaWolf: The Old Man finally shows this just after he's about to leave Beauty at the Beast's castle. When the Beast is prepared to give the Old Man a fortune far greater than he originally had as compensation for losing his daughter, the Old Man ''flips his shit'' and starts yelling at the Beast that nothing could possibly compensate for the loss of his daughter. The only reason a fight doesn't break out and the Old Man dies is when Beauty begs him to stop for her sake.

** Picking a rose is penalty of death.

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: The merchant is a short, fat older man with a large bulbous nose. But his daughter Beauty certainly lives up to her name.
* TheUnfavorite: Pauline and Alicia both think they're this while Beauty's their dad's favorite, often accusing her of sucking up to him. Although the old man does seem proud of Beauty because of how kind and generous she is, he never exactly berates Pauline and Alicia for not being more like Beauty. At no point do either of them ask if their dad ''really'' didn't like them, why would he allow them to keep spending all his money?

* VillainHasAPoint: Subverted. While Beauty ''did'' want a rose, neither she nor her father could've known the act of taking one would infuriate the Beast, and even as Alicia and Pauline point this out, their eagerness at the thought of Beauty dying completely outweighs any logical reasoning.

* DistractedByTheLuxury: When Beauty -- freshly imprisoned at the castle -- finds a collection of beautiful dresses in her room, she immediately decides the Beast is a kind person.

* EasilyForgiven: The Beast threatened to murder Beauty's father and Beauty for a rose being picked, only deciding to just keep Beauty prisoner instead of killing her because he finds her attractive. He gives Beauty fine clothes and other material items, and that's enough for Beauty to insist to the evil fairy that the Beast must really be a good person beneath his appearance only a few scenes later.

* InformedKindness: A rare InUniverse example. When the evil fairy says that Beast is cruel and deserves to die, Beauty says that he's sweet... because he told her so. Although oddly, when she was earlier asked by Clara on what she thought of Beast, Beauty thoroughly explained she believed he was good because he treats her so kindly and respectfully, and lavishes her with anything she could want.

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: The evil fairy's clearly going out of her way to convince Beauty to abandon him just so the Beast will die.]]

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The original author of the story is credited as Jakob Grimm. The original author was Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, who was French and born in in the late 1600's. Jakob Grimm was German and born about a hundred years later, though the Brothers Grimm did a similar adaptation called ''The Summer And Winter Garden''.

* CryCute: Just because Beauty's willing to give herself up doesn't mean she's happy about it. [[spoiler:She cries again during the Beast's DisneyDeath.]]

* ServileSnarker: Clara.

* YouWillBeSpared: The Beast changes his mind about killing Beauty, finding her too beautiful to do so.

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' pluck the Beast's roses.

* DeathByDespair: Or rather, death by loneliness.

* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:The enchantress]] is the main villain here. She manifests herself in bright golden light and her apparition to Belle even looks slightly divine.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Beauty is blonde, innocent, and a FriendToAllLivingThings.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Alicia and Pauline.

* ServileSnarker: Clara.

* {{Expy}}: Clara is one to [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Mrs. Potts]], right down to the similar clothing. That said, while she looks like Mrs. Potts and serves a similar function, her personality and attitude is much more grumpier and frank than the original.
