Fun Facts
- The animated segments contained in the direct-to-video titles, Belle's Magical World and Belle's Tales of Friendship were originally planned for a TV series in the franchise, supposedly called Beauty and the Beast: The Animated Series. For reasons that will probably never be revealed anytime soon, the series itself was eventually cancelled when production of the segments was completed by mid-1997, so three of the segments were combined into the former film, with one combined with an episode of the TV series, Sing Me a Story with Belle into the latter. All four animated segments are combined into the 2003 re-release of the former film. A modified 1998 version of the film, where one second of the film is blacked out during the page turnover from Fifi's Folly to Broken Wing, is available on Disney+.
- During the early stages of production of the original 1991 film, the song, Be Our Guest was originally meant to be sung to Belle's father, Maurice. One day, after a viewing of the scene, Bruce Woodside asked, "Shouldn't this be sung to Belle?". So, on January 29, 1991, the lyrics were altered, the song was re-recorded and the scene was re-animated. The early version can be seen in full on the 2002 Special Edition DVD release of the film and in portions during the theatrical sneak-peek preview on the 1991 VHS release of The Jungle Book and on the 2019 Disney+ documentary film, "Howard," a documentary about the film's composer, Howard Ashman, who passed away in early 1991, just months before the release of the film itself, due to heart failure caused by HIV/AIDS.
