* LargeHam: Especially noticeable during Be Our Guest

to:

* LargeHam: Especially noticeable during Be Our Guest*PragmaticAdaptation: Lumiere is more of a hybrid between a human statue and candelabra rather than a simple design unlike his 1991 counter part. As a result Luimier can walk rather than hop each time he moves.
*ScareEmStraight: After Luimier is ordered by Cogsworth to put Belle back in her cell when he offers her a bedroom Luimier reminds Cogsworth if he wants to spend the rest of his life as a mantel clock instead of returning human and his threat works.
*ThisCannotBe: Just after Lumiere celebrates victory over saving the castle from the mob he discovers that his fellow staff including Plumette are now becoming complete inanimated objects as the last petal has fallen and understandably panics but cannot prevent anyone from their Disney deaths including himself.



* VitriolicBestBuds: With Lumière

to:

*UndyingLoyalty: Cogsworth is against Luimier's plans on getting Belle and Beast together as he simply wants to obey his master's rules. He finally stands up for himself when he loses his patience with Beast when Gaston and the mob attack the castle and confronts him before deciding to help his friends.

* AnimalMotifs: As a feather duster, she resembles a white peacock, and even has a pair of wings that help her fly around. As a human, she sports a white feathery gown (and white hair) to reflect this.

* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: When Madame De Garderobe is fitting Belle with her iconic yellow ballgown, gold leaf floats down and trim the dress. Her bun is also held up with gold hair pins instead of a ribbon like the original film

Added DiffLines:

* StaticCharacter: Belle undergoes relativity little character development. She remains intelligent, brave, and strong from beginning to end
* StockholmSyndrome: Averted even more than in the original. Belle actively attempts to escape, but makes a conscious decision to stay and help the beast after he is injured saving her from wolves.

* CuteBookworm: As in the original, Belle is, for lack of a better term, an attractive nerd.
* GadgeteerGenius: This time around, Belle is the "crazy" inventor instead of her father, who is rewritten to be a music box builder. Word of God says that this change was made to give a clearer reason as to why the other villagers see her as an outcast.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Belle suffers this in Villeneuve due to its villagers' rampant Anti-Intellectualism and Stay in the Kitchen attitudes.
* PimpedOutDress: Belle's iconic golden ballgown.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite the way the way he treats Maurice and Belle at first, the Beast deep down is really not that evil. The reason he was such a nasty person as the Prince was because his coldhearted father mistreated him after his wife died. Mrs. Potts even tells Belle he is not as terrible as he appears.
* MightyRoar: The Beast gives one huge roar when saving Belle from the wolves.



* DemotedToExtra: In the animated feature he stows away when Belle returns to the village and frees her and Maurice when they're imprisoned, an act that is vital to the climax. Not so here; his plot duty is filled by Maurice himself, with a minor assist by Belle, leaving him as just another Object who hopes the curse will be broken. That said, since he isn't off rescuing Belle and Maurice, he does join the other objects in fighting off the villagers and manages to get in some good zingers.



* GorgeousGarmentGeneration: Madame de Garderobe has the ability to create dresses for Belle in seconds. At first the results are Rummage Sale Reject fare, but she ultimately creates her golden ballgown.

* {{Adorkable}}: Belle is also this, such as when she invents the "washing machine", is seen reading more often in the film, and almost squealing in delight when the Beast gives her the library.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Belle is a intelligent, cultured woman creative enough to invent an impromptu washing machine...and this is why almost no one in the village likes her even though she's nice to everyone


Added DiffLines:

* CanonForeigner: Cadenza (Stanley Tucci), an eccentric maestro, is turned into a harpsichord. He is apparently inspired by Forte the talking pipe organ from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas

* AdaptationalBadass: Belle is a lot more independent and proactive in this version. She attempts to escape from the castle and even [[spoiler: fights Gaston unarmed]] during the climax.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalVillainy: While Gaston in the original animated film is a narcisstic boor in the animated film, he is significantly darker in this version, as he displays more of his sociopathic and manipulative nature. Examples like [[spoiler:leaving Maurice to die in the forest and tying him up so he won't escape his fate]], getting him institutionalized in order to not only blackmail Belle into marrying him but also to cover his tracks of his [[spoiler: evil deed to Maurice]], and finally using [[spoiler: Lefou as a human shield and then leaving him to die as well.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BlueIsHeroic: Belle again wears a blue dress for most of the film's runtime.


Added DiffLines:

* LovableCoward: Talks big when no danger is around. At one point he waits until the beast has left to stand up for himself and the other servants. Lumiere pretends the beast has returned and Cogsworth loses a few gears in fear.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationNameChange: While she is not officially named in the original animated film, the feather duster was named Fifi in Belle's Magical World and Babette in the Broadway musical adaptation.
* AnimalMotifs: As a feather duster, she resembles a white peacock, and even has a pair of wings that help her fly around. As a human, she sports a white feathery gown (and white hair) to reflect this.


Added DiffLines:

* BadassLongcoat: Gaston now sports a long red overcoat, in contrast to his short sleeved shirt from the original film. It's his old army uniform; sure it's been twelve years since the war, but those were his Glory Days.


Added DiffLines:

Gaston's long suffering best friend and sidekick.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Lefou in the animated film is an (intentionally) silly-looking fool with a large nose and gap teeth. He fares a lot better this time around, and his more doltish features are noticeably absent.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Le Fou is gay in this version of Disney's take on the story, with the unintentional Ho Yay present in the animated movie being actual Homoerotic Subtext here. Interestingly, this makes the character Disney's first official LGBT character in a work based on their animated movies.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Downplayed. Lefou is legitimately attracted to Gaston, and this is played up in their big musical number. This film marks the first in Disney history where either a gay or bisexual character is included, breaking a watershed.
* PairTheSpares: Lefou ends up dancing with the villager who seemed to enjoy being DraggedIntoDrag by Madame De Garderobe
