History WesternAnimation / BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1999

* AdaptationalJerkass: This incarnation of the Beast might even be a case of AdaptationalVillainy. He was transformed as punishment for [[spoiler:turning away starving people, causing some of them to die]]. He never did anything nearly so awful in the original tale.

* NeverSayDie: ''"Get the Beast! Get the Beast! Get the Beast!"''
* NoNameGiven: Once again, we don't know the real names of the father or the Beast. The ghosts and evil sisters don't seem to be named either.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If the ghosts [[spoiler:can only move on if they find the Beast true love]], then [[spoiler:why are they still ghosts after the wedding]]?
* WritersCannotDoMath: The merchant has four daughters in this version, but when he pleads the Beast to spare him, he mentions he has three.

''Beauty and the Beast'' is the second animated film by Creator/GoldenFilms about the story of ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', made seven years after [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992 the last one]], this time without the help of [=GoodTimes=] Entertainment.

* BigEater: Beauty's sister in the yellow dress is always eating sweets, at one points she states she wants her future husband to give her ten pies to eat, she never seems to put on any visible weight.

* ForgottenFramingDevice: The movie opens with the three ghosts entering a Beauty and the Beast book, which seems to indicate that they're outsiders entering the story. But the rest of the movie treats them as though they were there the whole time, even having them be involved in the backstory while they were still alive.
* FreudianExcuse: For those who muster the will to pay close enough attention, you can see that most, if not all, major scenes starring the ghosts also in some way involve food. We're introduced to them cooking in the first scene and they sing the 'Be Our Guest' rip-off (both times, they practically gush about the food) and one ghost expressed interest in Beauty's cooking skills when encouraging the Beast to accept her in her dad's place. Then it's revealed that, in life, they starved to death.

* HypnotizeTheCaptive: Invoked. When Beauty is showing affection for the Beast, one of her sisters proclaim "he has her under some spell" when she witnesses this.

* SiblingYinYang: Beauty is kind and modest whereas her sisters are vain and greedy.

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Golden Films once again goes into this well for their soundtrack. This movie has [[SoundtrackDissonance having Swan Lake and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy included as primary tunes]].

* HypnotizeThePrincess: Invoked. When Beauty is showing affection for the Beast, one of her sisters proclaim "he has her under some spell" when she witnesses this.

* ForgottenFramingDevice: A truly bizarre example. The movie opens with the three ghosts entering a Beauty and the Beast book, which seems to indicate that they're outsiders entering the story. But the rest of the movie treats them as though they were there the whole time, even having them be involved in the backstory while they were still alive.

* {{Jerkass}}: This incarnation of the Beast is a ''major'' example of this. His DisproportionateRetribution towards those who pick his roses is bad enough, but during Beauty's stay with him, he mostly spends his time getting easily offended by the most minor things, as well as yelling at and scaring the poor girl who probably misses her family. To top it all off, according to TheReveal, he refused to help a group of starving townsfolk, leading to a majority of them, including the three comic-relief ghosts, ''dying''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Not only do Beauty's sisters warn her not to go after the Beast '''only''' because no one will take care of them, but they also arrange an angry mob to [[NeverSayDie "get"]] the Beast out of envy, using their claims that their sister was "kidnapped" and "brainwashed" as an excuse.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Beauty has long blonde hair and a sweet disposition.

* FreudianExcuse: For those who muster the will to pay close enough attention, you can see that most, if not all, major scenes starring the ghosts also in some why involve food. We're introduced to them cooking in the first scene and they sing the 'Be Our Guest' rip-off (both times they practically gush about the food) and one ghost expressed interest in Beauty's cooking skills when encouraging the Beast to accept her in her dad's place. Then it's revealed that, in life, they starved to death.

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Golden Films once again goes into this well for their soundtrack. This movie takes it UpToEleven, though, by [[SoundtrackDissonance having Swan Lake and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy included as primary tunes]].

* {{Mondegreen}}: "I must have a pie...mountain!"[[note]]She really said "no, ten"[[/note]]

* {{Jerkass}}: This incarnation of the Beast is a ''major'' example of this. His DisproportionateRetribution towards those who pick his roses is bad enough, but during Beauty's stay with him, he mostly spends his time getting easily offended by the most minor things, as well as yelling at and scaring the poor girl who probably misses her family. To top it all off, according to TheReveal, [[MoralEventHorizon he refused to help a group of starving townsfolk, leading to a majority of them, including the three comic-relief ghosts]], ''[[MoralEventHorizon dying]]''.

** One of the peasants is Hans from the Christmas Elves, but with pink clothing.
* {{Retcon}}: The merchant has four daughters in this version, but when he pleads the Beast to spare him, he mentions he has three.
* TheReveal: The reason the ghosts are helping the Beast is because [[spoiler:they are three of the people who starved to death after the prince [[MoralEventHorizon refused to help them]]. Only once he finds true love can they move on]].

* SoundtrackDissonance: Most of the movie is scored using public domain Tchaikovsky compositions except for when the ghosts appear, and the music genre inexplicably changes to gospel.

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Beauty and her sisters are of average height, are thin, and traditionally pretty while their father is short, portly, and balding.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Beauty's three sisters.

* VillainSong: ''More''.
