While Glen Keane was deliberately kept from seeing Robby Benson during his work on Beast, Dave Pruiksma studied Angela Lansbury in order to create the character of Mrs Potts - although, apparently, he never actually met her. He was impressed by her subtle mannerisms, and incorporated many of them into the final character. While Mrs Potts is very much an interpretation of Angela Lansbury, her teacup-son emerged from the shadows thanks to Bradley Pierce, the boy who provided his voice. Jeffrey Katzenburg liked his performance so much that he insisted Chip's role (initially minor) was stren...

Lumiere's name, in French, means light - perfectly appropriate! The Lumiere-Cogsworth partnership (!?) provides many great sequences. Ranieri faced many of the same challenges as Finn and Pruiksma in animating a candelabrum, but pulled it off spectacularly - Lumiere is the perfect foil to the pompous Cogsworth; and the two are essential to the humour and charm of the film. Lumiere is another character for whom the model sheets make fascinating reading. There are numerous directions to the animators and clean-up personnel regarding the range of movements allowed, how to draw certain a...

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...

Cinderella, Cinderella All I hear is Cinderella, from the moment I get up till shades of night are falling There isn't any letup, I hear them calling, calling "Go up and do the attic and go down and do the cellar, you can do them both together Cinderella." How lovely it would be if I could live in my fantasy But in the middle of my dreaming they're screaming at me Cinderella

Iago is the favorite Aladdin character of a great many people. He probably has the best one-line comedy of any character, and he occasionally has a heroic scene (for instance, he is the hero in the Return of Jafar). Mostly, though, he is comic relief, and he does a good job of it. Some of his lines are side-splitting humor, like "Where there's a Genie's brain, there's space to rent." Him and the Genie work best together. One of the better exchanges involving them is listed below: Aladdin: The animals talk! Genie: You mean like Iago, or actual intelligent conversation?
