[[caption-width-right:350:[[spoiler: I am ''not'' a beast.]]]]

* [[spoiler:"I am ''not'' a beast."]]

* Audra MacDonald ''smashing'' the songs ''Aria'' and ''Be Our Guest'' out of the park and into orbit.

* [=LeFou=]'s line in the Mob Song is both this and a TearJerker. "There's a beast running wild, there's no question. But I fear the wrong monster's released." This line alone proves that [=LeFou=] is a lot smarter than he appears, and that he now knows that Gaston is the real monster, not the Beast. It also might imply that he's starting to trust Belle's words when she called Gaston a monster.

** [[spoiler:[=LeFou=]'s HeelFaceTurn by saving Mrs. Potts. Soon afterwards their teamwork was rather impressive.]]

** "How do you like your tea? Hot or SCALDING?"

--> '''Mrs Potts''' [literally ''smoking''] GRANDMOTHER!? '''''ATTACK!'''''

* [[spoiler: Belle [[TookALevelInBadass taking a instant level of BADASS]] [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend by fighting Gaston to protect the Beast]] and actually managing to win by throwing him off the tower and temporarily depriving him of his gun.]]

* The fact that this is the first-ever live-action Disney remake of one of their animated classics '''to actually be a musical''' is awesome in and of itself.
** Most--if not all--of the classic songs are back. And they are '''GLORIOUS'''.
** The actors, judging by the sound of things, actually did most--if not all--of their own singing. Think about that for a second: [[HarryPotter Hermione Granger]] ''singing''. She's really come a long way.
** The entirety of the "Evermore" sequence, from the stunning visuals of the castle and Belle's bright golden gown cutting the gloom of the surroundings to the Beast's powerful and emotional vocals.

* Lindsey Stirling's rendition of: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-AjhXhk19U Beauty and the Beast]]

* Also in the third trailer [[spoiler: are some shots of the various musical numbers from the original film brought to life: from seeing Lumiere clap his 'hands' for the ''Be Our Guest'' number with Mrs. Potts and the plates flying around, to seeing Gaston and Lefou's dance number in ''Gaston'', and also seeing more of the Ballroom scene for the big ''Beauty and the Beast'' number.]]

--> '''Lefou:''' [''to Chip''] You must be the talking teacup! [''to Mrs Potts''] And you must be his grandmother.

** [[spoiler:Lefou's HeelFaceTurn by saving Mrs. Potts. Soon afterwards their teamwork was rather impressive.]]

* [[spoiler: Maurice's PapaWolf moments when he denies Gaston's ambition to marry Belle. The first in particular, due to the fact that he heard LeFou mention Gaston's affairs with widows after the war. The original animated version of Maurice seemed almost indifferent to Gaston's boorishness (he even suggests him as someone the lonely Belle could talk to, since he's so handsome), but here he holds nothing but disdain for a man more likely to mistreat his daughter in their "marriage" (not to mention, he left him to die in the forest). In the second moment, even when threatened to be sent to the Asylum for being perceived as crazy, he still has the stones to refuse Gaston's demands with a simple "Never".]]

* "Gaston" is one for Josh Gad. While the song is obviously for Gaston's benefit, your entire focus is on Gad cavorting around as he clearly leads the sequence to the point that this is ''his'' number. He takes full opportunity of it to deepen Lefou's character, too.

** Since more information has been released, it turns out that the Malaysian censorship board additionally wanted to cut out the ENTIRE song "Gaston", citing the reason as being LeFou's dancing, actions, and lyrics.

* Although the scene is a TearJerker, [[spoiler: there's a small one during the scene where the enchanted objects turn inanimate. When Chip desperately rushes to his mother, he catapults himself and the saucer a little too hard. His saucer shatters on the ground, and just when you think [[DisneyDeath he's about to]] [[UpToEleven break too]], Chapeau catches him. TearJerker aside, it's enough to make you breath a sigh of relief and thank him for saving Mrs. Potts son.]]

* In some theaters, the audience ''claps'' by the end of the movie!

** As the battle draws to a close, [[spoiler: Agathe gets a moment of awesome for effortlessly slipping through the danger and towards the stairs, [[RightUnderThierNoses unnoticed]] by either the villagers or the castle servants.]]

* During [[spoiler: the Mob Song, while the enchanted objects try to barricade the door, it seems as though only Lumiere, Cogsworth, Plumette, Chip, and Mrs. Potts are going to try to hold the fort. It seems [[AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade meager]], to put it mildly. For a minute, it's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe disappointing]] that [[NotHisSled Garderobe isn't there to help]]. Until [[GentleGiant Maestro Cadenza]], the [[TheBigGuy harpsichord]] comes to the enchanted objects' aid. Now ''that's'' more like it!]]

-->'''Belle:''' [[spoiler: He's no monster, Gaston, [[ReasonWhyYouSuckSpeech you are]]!!]]

* "Gaston" is one for Josh Gad. While the song is obviously for Gaston's benefit, your entire focus is on Gad as he clearly leads the sequence.

** Chappeau in a GoodOldFisticuffs.
