This scene was actually drawn hastily as the shot itself was done during the crunch period of production, at the very end of the deadline. Be Our Guest was so immensely, terribly complex that it took a small army of extremely talented artists to pull off!
The pencil roughs of Beast’s human face were much more aesthetically pleasing, but it just didn’t translate to the finished cel.
Belle discovering that she had a monster-fucker kink, mid-Stockholm Syndrome/Lima Syndrome tango, only to have that taken away from her at the last minute?
You saw her face at the end of the movie, it wasn’t just surprise, it was disappointment! 😂
Still, she and Beast working through their problems and having a healthy relationship after… well, the involuntary confinement thing was over.
And for my next trick, I mean miracle, I’ll convince this crowd that Jesus is cool with rich bureaucrats by pounding the Widow And Her Two Mites into their skulls for the second time in a month.
Camels and needles? Rendering to Caesar? Braiding a whip? Loaves and fishes? Whaaaat, no, that’s socialism, I mean Satanism!
i feel so called out.
HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON’T TRIP IT 🤘🤡🤘
You know what else a Rakshasa can’t do?
Breathe underwater. Or pick locks on a pair of handcuffs. Or lift a 500lb concrete block attached to their ankle.
Or teleport past the slowly sinking metal grate keeping them from the surface.
My workflow for a character goes like this:
- Pick a song or a general aesthetic that I like.
- Make a character that, if you squint and look sideways hard enough, you can see it.
- Pick a random name and gender.
Seriously. Pick ANY folk-punk, hiphop, or heavy metal anthem that’s been stuck in your head for a week.
