Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Scary Beauty
and the Beast Theories!
Ooh!
Let me know who your favourite Beauty and the Beast Character is in the comments section
down below.
While you are down there, hit that thumbs up button because you know it makes sense!!!
Also do stick around until the end of the video where I will be answering some of your
comments.
10 - Belle and the Prince would be murdered a few years later
Beauty and the Beast ends with what Disney wants the audience to think is happily ever
after but actually, if history has any bearing, would have ended in tears…and the guillotine.
You see Beauty and the Beast is set in around the mid 1700s.
Indeed the original story was published in 1757.
The French Revolution, often called the Reign of terror began in 1789.
While Belle and her prince would have had a few decades of happiness in their castle,
they eventually would have met revolt.
Peasants, lead by the likes of Gaston…or likely his son, would have broken down the
doors of the no longer enchanted castle and dragged the royalty to the guillotine…as
was the trend at that time.
Belle and Gaston’s children would have got the chop too…unless they escaped…
9 - Jane in Tarzan is Belle and The Beasts Daughter
So Belle and the Prince nee beast sense the discontent growing in France and send their
daughter away….
Could it be Jane?
Let’s have a look at Belle and the Prince side by side for a second….. like….
Isn’t this exactly the child they would produce?!
She also kinda loves a savage man…something perhaps her mother and her share.
We do meet Jane’s dad in Tarzan.. but he looks a little old.
Could he actually be Maurice, or a similar eccentric relative sent to look after her.
Also….urm…what is this tea set she is carrying?
Are these the leftover former bodies of the Beasts servants….is that not a chip in that
mug?
Hmmm.
8 - Belles Mother Died of the Plague This was a much speculated upon and discussed
theory that was actually CONFIRMED in the live action remake.
Between the years of 1991 and 2017 fans had been speculating how exactly Belle’s mother
died.
It was widely theorized that she either died in childbirth or from a horrible illness.
The 2017 live action remake shows that the latter was the case.
The word plague is never said but we can guess this was the case from scary clues left in
the movie – we see Belle’s mum beg Maurice to run away with Belle before they become
infected, then we see the scary plague doctor with the big old beak hanging around, basically
confirming she died a horrible death from bubonic plague.
7 – Belle has Stockholm Syndrome A lot of people have pointed out how messed
up beauty and the beast is – The Beast ….a literal beast… captures a stray traveller
then steals his daughter away as a prisoner…then makes her eat dinner with him, gives her gifts
and dresses her up….and forgetting he is holding her prisoner, and totally wooed by
his charms, she starts to fall in love with him.
How can we explain falling in love with a horned beast…a literal animal?
Well…
Belle seems to accept and embrace the Beast because of Stockholm Syndrome.
Stockholm Syndrome is where a captive person starts feeling a psychological alliance with
their captors – were abuse victims start to love their abuser.
6 - Gaston is the Good Guy Wait, what?
No?
Surely not.
He is the biggest douche.
If Gaston was the good guy, a) sucks to be dead and b) everything I know about good guys
is a lie.
Buuuut thanks to the power of the internet tere are a lot of people speaking up in his
defence.
They excuse his abrasive attitude towards women as being of the times, also pointing
out that the Beasts wasn’t much better.
Gaston is well liked in the town, he can have his pick of the Ladies but he stays true to
Belle.
He then goes to rescue her when she is trapped.
Later he tries to avenge her and kill the big monster who imprisoned her.
Told with a different spin, Gaston could be painted as a good guy and a hero.
That being said, he did try and send her and her dad to an insane asylum….
Not sure how we can rose tint that one.
5 - Gaston Knew He Was Going To Die If you look closely at the signs it seems
as if Gaston was well aware that he was about to die.
Disney even coloured little skulls into his blue eyes to show that there was no mistake
to be made here.
Those skulls kind of look a bit evil, too…right….
maybe that is the real face of the beast he is looking into reflected in his eyes and
it is a symbol of evil winning…maybe Gaston is the good guy and the beast is the baddie
after all.
4 - Gaston Shot Bambi’s Mum At the beginning of Beauty and the Beast we
see a strikingly familiar looking doe grazing and drinking from a stream near the Beasts
castle.
Gaston, as we know, is a self confessed master huntsman who kills stags and does alike, using
antlers in all of his decorating.
The woods surrounding the castle are rather similar to the woods in Bambi.
Therefore some people have put two and two together and come up with an answer that has
the brutish Gaston being the hunter who savagely killed Bambi’s mum.
As IF we needed another reason to hate Gaston !
3 - The French Village is Stuck in a Time Loop
Is there anything scarier than Groundhog day?
Having your life stuck in a continuous loop?
I am absolutely not here for it.
The only people NOT trapped in the loop appear to be Belle and her father who moved to the
village after the spell was cursed.
There are clues peppered EVERYWHERE - firstly when the curse is cast to the moment it is
broken it doesn’t seem like the characters in the castle have aged – nor, if we are
talking about the live action remake, have the townsfolk.
Remember Belle’s opening song – Little town, it’s a quiet village, everyday like
the one before….
And there goes the baker with his tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell.
Others say the reason the townsfolk find Belle and her dad so strange is because they know
somehow they aren’t supposed to be there but cant really remember why.
Some people out there think the time loop is a month-long loop, to allow them to play
out little narratives….
I guess it is a bit likes West World… but with a longer loop!
2 - Chip is the Beasts Illegitimate Son So forget the timeloop stuff for this theory…as
this one suggests that Chip, who is a young boy when we meet him in the movie, was born
in captivity.
We know that the curse has been going strong for ten years at the point Belle meets the
Beast but Chip seems to be a boy of between 5 to 7 years old, which means he was born
amid the curse.
If he is Mrs Potts son, where is Mr Potts?
We never meet him.
Also when Mrs Potts resumes her human form she does look a little old to have had a child…
she is more like a kindly grandmother.
So… who’s child is Chip?
A theory out there goes that Belle wasn’t the first girl the Beast imprisoned with the
hope of breaking the spell.
At least one other was locked up in his castle and the beast tried to romance her, resulting
in the birth of a deformed teacup child.
As she wasn’t his true love, the theory says that once she had the baby, she died
from the effects of the curse …and …you know… pushing a teacup out of her… yeah.
1 - The Beast Does not Exist This theory was dreamed up by Redditor Foxenthesnow
who had watched the movie one too many times with their daughter.
They seemed to draw comparison with the Beast and Gaston, both being brutish, ill mannered
and violent.
We know Belle loves a good fairytale and fantasy, and this may have inspired her to think up
the whole castle saga.
The theory goes that Belle was convinced to marry Gaston by Maurice and does so, as would
be encouraged in her situation at the time.
She spends their marriage dreaming of a way she can change her brutish husband and mould
him into becoming a polite and caring prince.
She imagines a castle filled with curiosity and companions – they are fantasy drawn
from the fairytales she submerges herself into.
This perhaps explains why none of the townsfolk remember the castle.
When Gaston goes to hunt the beast, she is fighting the two sides of her husband – or
more, who he is and who she wants him to be.
Her happy ending is likely just in her mind.
Some even go as far as to say Belle killed Gaston herself in order to live in peace with
her fantasies.
