* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: The enchantress who turned the prince into a beast did so in the original story to teach him a lesson about his cruelty. While here some of that seems to hold true, the evil fairy's clearly not interested in the Beast learning to become a better person and is going out of her way to convince Beauty to abandon him just so the Beast will die.]]



* HypercompetentSidekick: 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.]]



** The rosebush in the castle courtyard was forbidden, but cutting the roses in the greenhouse is fine.

** The rosebush in the castle courtyard was forbidden, but cutting the roses in the greenhouse is fine. Again, in fairness, this is while Beauty is living at the castle, and she's not stealing, she's helping Clara with the gardening.

Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: Beauty's mainly known for being a very patient and loving person, but a FreezeFrameBonus when her sisters are telling her to bring them breakfast in bed (after sleeping in most of the day and ''after'' they became poor) shows Beauty looking somewhat annoyed at their selfishness. So even she's got a limit to how much of their whining she can brush off.


Added DiffLines:

* 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.


Added DiffLines:

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


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllAboutMe: The minute Beauty returns to her family, her sisters immediately voice their disgust that she's still alive and believe all their suitors will turn their attention to Beauty.


Added DiffLines:

* KickTheDog: Alicia and Pauline easily guilt trip Beauty into sacrificing herself to the Beast saying it was her fault because she wanted a rose, and it becomes less about their father taking care of them and more a sort of sick eagerness to finally get rid of Beauty.
* LazyBum: Alicia and Pauline do absolutely nothing except spend their father's money when they were originally wealthy, whereas their brothers helped run the family business and Beauty devoted her time doing charity work. After they became poor, the two still spend most of their time lazing around and barking orders at Beauty.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Beauty's the nice, Alicia and Pauline are the mean, and Nathan and Robert are in the middle, being nicer than Alicia and Pauline but still thinking Beauty should let the Beast die when she returns home.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Clara gives one to [[spoiler: the evil fairy following the Beast becoming human again. Clara drags her by the ear and shows her Beast and Beauty are alive and happy.]]
-->'''Clara''': [[spoiler: Look at that, they're gonna get married! Get it you miserable wretch?! Your curse is broken and now you're powerless!]]


Added DiffLines:

* 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.

* {{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.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Beauty first meets the Beast, she does her best not to lose her composure upon meeting the thing that is supposedly going to murder her. While she's waiting for the Beast in his dining room, she starts to cry, but then immediately tells herself to stop out of a desire to remain strong.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: 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.

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

Suffering from financial troubles, a single father goes into town to look for gifts for his three daughters. His youngest, Beauty, only asks for a rose, and he manages to find one at the castle of a mysterious host who welcomes him, feeds him, and lets him rest there for the night. But plucking the rose was a big mistake, as the host turns out to be a Beast who values his roses more than anything else in the world. The father must pay for his crime with his life, but after he reveals he did it for his youngest daughter, the Beast offers him a chance to take Beauty to die in his place. Though the father doesn't want to, Beauty goes with him anyway. Fortunately, the Beast changes his mind and makes her stay a comfortable one, obeying her every wish and giving her everything she wants. But her feelings for him may be put to the test when the Beast agrees to give her a week to visit her worried family, as the Beast will die of loneliness if she doesn't return in the given week. As if that wasn't enough, a mysterious fairy warns Beauty not to be drawn in by his kindness, and Beauty's sisters grow envious of the rich lifestyle she enjoyed in her stay with him.

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

* {{Expy}}: Clara is one to [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Mrs. Potts]], right down to the similar clothing.
