13	----
14	!!This compilation contains examples of:
15
16	* AesopAmnesia: The Beast seems to go through this between "The Perfect Word" and "Broken Wing", where after mellowing out in the former and learning not to be so brash, he returns right back to having HairTriggerTemper.
17	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: “Do you think you’d sing if you were in a cage?” asks Belle to the Beast when the bird she found is too sad to sing for reasons just explained.
18	* BatmanGambit: In "A Perfect Word", the writing-based characters all get sick of the conflict between Belle and Beast and decide to forge an apology letter in order to get them to make up. At first it works, but then it backfires after it comes out that Belle got a letter at all, to which Beast points out he never wrote one and learns the truth.
19	* BrickJoke: In "Mrs. Potts's Party", Lumiere and Cogsworth have to hide the flowers they pick in the Beast's room while he's sleeping. When the Beast wakes up surrounded by flowers, he gets into a sneezing fit.
20	* CanonForeigner: Several, including a dictionary named Webster, a stack of papers named Crane, a quill pen named [=LePlume=], and a punch bowl.
21	* CasualDangerDialogue: Lumiere during "Fifi's Folly", where he makes several wisecracks during a perilous moment of nearly falling off a cliff.
22	* CompilationMovie: The film consists of four (originally three) shorts.
23	* CoversAlwaysLie: The 2003 DVD cover showed Belle wearing her yellow ballgown, even though she never does so in any of the shorts.
24	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Fifi's Folly" and "Mrs. Potts's Party" are based around the castle staff.
25	* DemotedToExtra: Chip doesn't do much in this movie compared to the first two. He's mostly prominent in "Mrs. Potts's Party", so the original release and ReCut barely feature him at all.
26	* DisproportionateRetribution: Beast, in both of the shorts he has a major role in:
27	** In "A Perfect Word", once it comes out that [=LaPlume=], Webster, and Crane forged an apology letter to Belle from him, he banishes them from the castle and threatens to ''kill'' them if they ever show up again. While he's understandably angry that they set up a big lie, threatening them with death is quite a steep punishment.
28	** In "Broken Wing", after Beast is badly injured due to trying to catch the bird, he then orders it to be caged in him room and refuses to let him go unless he sings for him, even though his wing was close to healing by that point and had no need to stay in captivity. Needless to say, Beast's highly unfriendly attitude just leaves the bird more frightened rather than in any mood to sing for him.
29	* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: Discussed between Fifi and Lumiere when the punch bowl they're riding in goes out of control.
30	-->'''Fifi''': Oh, my brave one! What shall we do?!\
31	'''Lumiere''': There is only one thing ''to'' do! We must scream like bloodless cowards! HELP! HELP!\
32	'''Fifi''': AAH!
33	* ForgottenAnniversary: Lumiere forgets his and Fifi's five-year anniversary in "Fifi's Folly" and works to make it up to her.
34	* JerkassHasAPoint: Beast throwing [=LaPlume=], Webster, and Crane out of his castle in "A Perfect Word" was extreme, but he did have a legitimate concern with them forging an apology letter without his knowing. Lampshaded by Cogsworth.
35	-->'''Cogsworth:''' Yes, it is a pity, but one can hardly blame the master. After all, forgery is a crime.
36	* MistakenForCheating: In "Fifi's Folly", Lumiere tries to make it up to Fifi after forgetting their anniversary by planning a big day for her with the help of Belle. Fifi sees this on multiple occasions and mistakenly thinks he's left her for Belle.
37	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The feather duster is named "Fifi".
38	* NoAntagonist: The only ''Beauty and the Beast'' film not to have one. The closest is Beast grabbing the JerkassBall in two segments and Fifi mistaking Lumiere for cheating on her.
39	* OperationJealousy: In "Fifi's Folly", Fifi flirts with Cogsworth in an attempt to get Lumiere to notice her.
40	* PleaseWakeUp: Belle to Beast in "Broken Wing" after he falls down a stairwell.
41	* PlotAllergy: Wardrobe is allergic to birds, so she reluctantly agrees to help Belle hide an injured bird.
42	* PunnyName: The dictionary's name is Webster, an obvious nod to Webster's dictionary.
43	* RememberTheNewGuy: [=LaPlume=], Webster, Crane, Punch Bowl, and many others are introduced here. They're treated just like every other resident of the castle enchanted since Beast's transformation.
44	* SmashCut:
45	-->'''Cogsworth:''' So, you see, she has agreed to apologize. Yet there's one minor catch, however.\
46	''[Cut to Lumiere and Cogsworth being tossed out of the West Wing]''
47	* SomethingElseAlsoRises: At the end of "Fifi's Folly", Fifi kisses Lumiere whose candles light up as he smiles.
48	* SuddenNameChange: The Broadway musical gave the feather duster the name "Babette". Here, she's "Fifi".
49	* TantrumThrowing: In "The Perfect Word", Beast pitches Lumiere and Cogsworth out of the West Wing when they tell him that Belle wants him to apologize first.
50	* TookALevelInJerkass: Beast, who seems to have dialed his nasty tendencies way up high for this movie. In the first one he selfishly ignores Belle's needs when opening up the window and proceeds to spend the entire episode absolutely refusing to accept any responsibility for his actions, and then once he finds out that [=LaPlume=], Webster, and Crane forged an apology letter, he nearly ''[[DisproportionateRetribution takes their lives,]]'' and only narrowly is convinced to spare them. Then in "Broken Wing", he mistreats a crippled bird and shouts at him to sing and refuses to let him go even after his wing heals up.
51	* TruckDriversGearChange: "Listen with Our Hearts" shifts from B♭ major to C major; "A Little Thought" shifts from B major to C♯ major.
52	* WomanScorned: Fifi when she thinks Lumiere is cheating on her with Belle.
53	-->'''Fifi:''' If I cannot have that joy, ''no one shall''.
