This was a great summary of the story. Very helpful as I'm writing a paper on the history and impact of these tales. Thank you! :)

Another excellent video! My favorite movie is Disney's Beauty and the Beast, so I've been especially excited about your review of the original source material! I was intrigued by how much some of the other animated adaptations I've seen of Beauty and the Beast kept in some of the original story, like a stop-motion version that incorporated an elephant's trunk in Beast's design, or a couple of other versions that used Beast appealing to Belle/Beauty through dreams, at least one version having Beauty discover an aviary in the palace, or the fact that most versions kept in that Beauty's father was a once-prosperous merchant fallen on hard times (I wonder if the good fairy had anything to do with the loss of his fortune and his house burning down). But my jaw was on the ground for the entire rest of the story after the fairy and the queen showed up! That was all COMPLETELY news to me! Absolutely insane!! I can see why most adaptations end the story with Beauty confessing her love and the Beast transforming!! It definitely takes away from Beauty being rewarded for her kind heart and ability to love despite appearances! Don't get me wrong, I do love a good destined lovers story, but this wasn't the story for it! Seems like the author started off writing Beauty and the Beast and ended up with a lot of Sleeping Beauty tropes, right down to a good fairy having to clean up a mess that an evil fairy made, a royal child being raised by others who are not their parents, and, in the case of some of the older versions of Sleeping Beauty, having a third act that is so bizarre that most adaptations completely omit it (an ogress queen in Sleeping Beauty that's pretty horrifying). This was very long, sorry, but I LOVE fairy tales and get very passionate about them!!

Oh no worries at all, I love long comments! And I agree, I love fairy tales as well and Disney's Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourites! As a child of the 90's most of the Disney renaissance movies are at the top of my list. 😊 I will make more fairy tale content this year actually so I hope I get to hear your thoughts on those as well! And yes! It's such a strange third act as it does seem like you said, that the author started with one story in mind and then finished it with a different one. I would have liked an adaptation of the fairy story though, with the good fairy and her sister marrying a King in secret, and the wicked fairy causing trouble. It did sound like a very exciting "origin" story! A bit of a shame though that it was just told in retrospect. Again, glad you enjoyed it and found it interesting! 😊

I'm planning to! I stopped with them initially as they weren't that popular, but I would love to get back into them.

Do you think the opera Belle watched in the magic mirror was by Monteverdi or Gluck?😁Always a pleasure to listen to your rendition and summary !❤️

No idea, I don't know much about opera, sadly. 😅 But I like how the magical mirrors are a kind of analogy for the modern TV. Belle basically spent her days binge-watching Netflix!
