Line 29:
** Plus his is [[Tony Jay|voice actor]] would end up playing [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Frollo]].
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: It's a highly-idealized [[Arcadia|rural French town]] which, while poor, still has lots of wide open spaces, and the castle is gorgeous on the interior. But it's still eighteenth-century France, where Maurice and Belle are shunned and seen as uncanny for being themselves because women aren't supposed to read.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Gaston has a large rather large fanbase who are willing to overlook the fact that he is a misogynistic, arrogant, murderous [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere (disambiguation)]], some to the point that they think Belle is either crazy for rejecting him, or a stupid bitch that he didn't deserve anyway.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Variation -- ChipVariation—Chip's voice actor was so popular with the filmmakers that his tiny role was greatly expanded; he replaced another character, a music box, for the most part (the music box was only relegated to a cameo in the final version, specifically right before the battle).
* [[Fountain of Memes]]: Gaston. In [[Youtube Poop]] he seems to occupy some sort of strange middle ground between [[Butt Monkey]] and [[Memetic Badass]]...
** As of late it also seems to be common subject of the Poops he star in to pair him with [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Frollo]] and pass them off as [[Heterosexual Life Partners|the best of friends]]. [[Fridge Brilliance|Hilariously enough they both live in the same country and hinted to be around the same time period as well; that and they're both arrogant pricks with amazing singing voices that lust after beautiful women that don't want them, and that they're presented as the "Man outside, monster inside" person]]. Popular examples of this are [[Smash Bros Lawl]] and [[The Frollo Show]].
Line 39:
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Belle. While certainly pretty, she's described as an unparalleled beauty in the movie... which also features the THREE Bimbettes, who are easily as good looking(or better looking, really).
** Belle's beauty may be as much to do with her being seen as unattainable, unlike the Bimbettes and note that all the attractive women in-universe are all drawn as busty and practically heaving out of their bodices, except for Belle who may intentionally have been drawn as taller and more slender. In short her beauty is meant to be more understated and ''natural'' than obvious.
*** Also, it's more of an inner beauty. Of the [[Disney Princess|Disney Princesses]]es, she's the most conservatively dressed and the only brunette, yet she's one of the kindest and most honest of the princesses.
*** Not to mention, the three bimbettes are ''identical''. It may well be the reason that Gaston doesn't turn an eye to one of them despite their beauty--becausebeauty—because they've got two other equals ''right there.''
**** This troper would like to add that when he saw the movie and Belle emerged for her dance with the Beast, it is the only time he ever heard audience members whistle their approval at how attractive a ''cartoon character'' was.
* [[Love to Hate]]: Gaston.
* [[Memetic Badass]] / [[Memetic Mutation]]: No one [verb]s like Gaston -- thisGaston—this is even [[In-Universe]]. It's also lampshaded in the reprise in the musical.
{{quote|No one thinks up these endless refrains like Gaston!}}
** Even prior to [[YouTube]], this was a [[Running Gag]] in [[House of Mouse]]:
Line 71:
== Other ==
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve's version goes on for pages and pages after the curse is broken.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: In many versions the prince is cursed because he refused to give hospitality. Given that refusing people shelter in bad weather could be a [[Matter of Life and Death]] -- it—it's not as if they could hop in their car and drive to a hotel -- ithotel—it was taken very seriously.
