![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even a pair of box office misfires this year ( Alice Through the Looking Glass, Pete's Dragon) hasn't seemed to put a damper on the studio's enthusiasm for refreshing their most viable classics. Though the age of the Prince at the time of the curse has never been explicitly given, one could guess that he was around seventeen or eighteen, meaning the objects had lived as such for about three to four years, but had not been able to enjoy themselves, such as by preparing a feast or show, for much longer.Disney has had a run of massively successful live-action adaptations of their classic films, beginning with Alice in Wonderland, and continuing with Maleficent, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book. Lumiere and Cogsworth are very keen on keeping the matter of the spell a secret from Belle (with Cogsworth rapidly halting the talks on the subject as Belle walks into the kitchen, as well as saying, "who said anything about the castle being enchanted?") so Lumiere would not have made a blunt reference to the spell for everyone, Belle included, to hear. The misconception is based on a misinterpreted line delivered by Lumiere during the break in the "Be Our Guest" number, "for ten years we've been rusting, needing so much more than dusting." The line was interpreted to refer to the amount of time the servants had lived as objects, when in fact, the line refers to the amount of time that the servants had been prevented from using their service skills due to the young Prince's developed distaste for merriment. The incessant claims have led the writers to reluctantly acknowledge an error that does not actually exist. ![]() Viewers have repeatedly commented on a supposed inconsistency that occurs in this movie, of Beast having been cursed for ten years and therefore being only eleven years of age when punished by the enchantress (inconsistent with his torn portrait). ![]()
