Character Introduction
① Belle: abibliophilic young woman who seeks adventure, and offers her own freedom to theBeast in return for her father's. In their effort to enhance the character fromthe original story, the filmmakers felt that Belle should be"unaware" of her own beauty and made her "a little odd".Wise recalls casting O'Hara because of a "unique tone" she had,"a little bit of Judy Garland", after whose appearance Belle wasmodeled. James Baxter and Mark Henn served as the supervising animators forBelle.
② Prince Adam /Beast: a young prince who is transformed into a beast by an enchantress aspunishment for his arrogance. He has the head structure and horns of anAmerican bison, the arms and body of a bear, the ears of a deer, the eyebrowsof a gorilla, the jaws, teeth, and mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar andthe legs and tail of a wolf. Chris Sanders, one of the film's storyboardartists, drafted the designs for the Beast and came up with designs based onbirds, insects, and fish before coming up with something close to the finaldesign. Glen Keane, supervising animator for the Beast, refined the design bygoing to the zoo and studying the animals on which the Beast was based. Bensoncommented, "There's a rage and torment in this character I've never beenasked to use before." Benson's voice had the "big voice and the warm,accessible side" and that "you could hear the prince beneath thefur".
③ Gaston: a vainhunter who vies for Belle's hand in marriage and is determined not to letanyone else win her heart. He serves as a foil personality to the Beast, whowas once as egotistic as Gaston prior to his transformation. Gaston'ssupervising animator, Andreas Deja, was pressed by Jeffrey Katzenberg to makeGaston handsome in contrast to the traditional appearance of a Disney villain,an assignment he found difficult at first. In the beginning, Gaston is depictedas more of a narcissist than a villain, but later he leads all the villagers tokill the beast, enraged that Belle would love a Beast more than him.
④ Lumière : a candle stick. He is the kind-hearted but rebellious valet of the Beast's, whohas been transformed into a candlestick. He has a habit of disobeying hismaster's strict rules, sometimes causing tension between them, but the Beastoften turns to him for advice. He is depicted as flirtatious, as he is frequently seen with the Feather duster and immediately takes a liking toBelle. A running gag throughout the movie is Lumière burning Cogsworth. NikRanieri served as the supervising animator for Lumière.
⑤Cogsworth:Majordomo, the head of the household staff and Lumière's best friend who has beentransformed into a clock. He is extremely loyal to the Beast so as to savehimself and anyone else any trouble, often leading to friction between himselfand Lumière. Will Finn served as the supervising animator for Cogsworth. Stiersalso narrates the prologue.
⑥ Mrs. Potts: thecastle cook, turned into a teapot, who takes a motherly attitude toward Belle.The filmmakers went through several names for Mrs. Potts, such as "Mrs.Chamomile", before Ashman suggested the use of simple and concise namesfor the household objects. David Pruiksma served as the supervising animatorfor Mrs. Potts.
⑦Chip: Mrs. Potts' son who has been turned into ateacup. Originally intended to only have one line, the filmmakers wereimpressed with Pierce's performance and expanded the character's rolesignificantly, eschewing a mute Music Box character. Pruiksma also served asthe supervising animator for Chip.
⑧Maurice: Belle's inventor father. The villagers seehim as insane for crafting devices believed impossible to construct in reality,but his loyal daughter believes he will be famous one day. Ruben A. Aquinoserved as the supervising animator for Maurice.
⑨Le Fou: Gaston's loyal sidekick. Gaston's often abusedyet loyal sidekick. Chris Wahl served as the supervising animator for Le Fou.
