Synopsis:

An arrogant young prince and his castle's servants fall under the spell of a wicked enchantress, who turns him into the hideous Beast until he learns to love and be loved in return. The spirited, headstrong village girl Belle enters the Beast's castle after he imprisons her father Maurice. With the help of his enchanted servants, including the matronly Mrs. Potts, Belle begins to draw the cold-hearted Beast out of his isolation.


Intentions:

There are actually 3 different Beauty and the Beast animated films. I originally wanted to merge all 3 together into 1 film but I chose to only use the first 2 because "Belle's Magical World" has too many issues that made it impossible to add. It has multiple contradictions to the first 2 films, all the shorts take place in or around the song "Something There" and there was no good way to transition, and it recast the voice of Mrs Potts in one of the shorts and they aren't close at all.



Change List:

Used "Beauty and the Beast (Special Edition)" and "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas." Trimmed various scenes and cut multiple shots for continuity and timing. There are too many small edits to list. Added my own custom title sequence. Started with BatB. Replaced the "special edition" title card with a personalized title card. Cut one weird transition during the narration. Transitioned from BatB (after Belle cares for Beasts wounds) into EC (cut the beginning scene that takes place in the future). Added the scenes of Gaston and Maurice from BatB after Belle meets with Forte in EC. Transitioned from EC (after Forte's defeat, cut the ballroom ending and the future scene) back to BatB (before Beast gifts the library). Added the Christmas tree scene from EC after the library scene from BatB. Transitioned to the dinner scene from BatB. Created new credits using BatB as the base. Used "Beauty and the Beast (ft Arian a Grande & John Legend)" from the live action movie during the credits. Used the song "You'll Never Lose This Love" which was from the canceled "Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Kingdom of Kindness" during the credits.
