Beast is, in my opinion, one of the very finest pieces of Disney character animation. A complex and interesting character, he was bought into being by Glen Keane, a Supervising Animator who has since worked on the characters of Aladdin and Pocahontas, and is currently scheduled to do lead animation for the forthcoming Tarzan. So why do I reckon that Beast is such a great example of Keane's work? Well, great animation is largely about emotion - evoking and building that emotional response in an audience. When you see a piece of animation for the first time, you have no earlier referen...

A self-confessed love of the 'British deadpan character' (hehheh), Finn was perfectly suited to Cogsworth, as was David Ogden-Stiers, who provided the supercilious character with the ideal voice. As with all the 'enchanted objects', it was a problem to make the animation look natural - as if the characters really could move in the way they did. (One trick I'm glad they didn't use was 'Hell, we can't draw that. Just make 'em fly or something.') The model sheets in The Art of Animation show how the anatomies of all the objects were carefully analysed and...

Belle, the go-it-alone, independent heroine and salvation of Beast was animated by James Baxter. Receiving a series of 'battlefield promotions' during production on Who Framed Roger Rabbit and later on Beauty and the Beast, this moved Baxter into the animation of a major character. Belle's appearance was developed from a sketch by story man Roger Allers, slightly modified to give her 'a more European look' - the shape and angle of her eyes, in particular, were intended to give her a more mature appearance than earlier heroines. Inspiration for angle and perspective - cruc...
