Here are some things about the original you may not know:
Production Was A Beast
The production went through many delays, changes, and re-workings. Walt Disney had attempted to adapt the Beauty and the Beast story in the 1930’s and the 1950’s, but could not find a treatment that worked. After the success of The Little Mermaid in 1989, the Disney team decided to try it again, and an initial storyboard reel was drawn up. It was not a musical and Disney felt it was too dark, so it was ordered to be scrapped and started over. The director resigned soon after. The 2017 live-adaptation has had some restructuring as well, as Stephen Chbosky was brought in to re-write the script after Evan Spiliotopoulos’s first run at it. It seems that the live-action adaptation is taking as much care as the original to make sure it’s done right.
Beauty and the Beast was the first animated Disney film to begin as a screenplay, instead of the traditional method of developing through storyboarding. The screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, was also the first women to write a Disney animated film and had a vested interest in creating a princess for the next generation to look up to. The princesses prior to Belle were predominantly confined to domestic spheres, solely oriented around romance, often sleeping or silent through the majority of their story, and limited in character traits to beauty and gentleness. One of Woolverton's inspirations for Belle's characterizations was Katherine Hepburn as Jo in Little Women.
