History TearJerker / BeautyandtheBeast

*** Indeed, before this, when he's first informed the castle is under attack? [[DeathSeeker "It doesn't matter anymore. Let them come."]]

!!Tear Jerkers for the [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 2017 live-action film]]:
* The first trailer for the 2017 film has a very melancholy feel, showing the nearly-empty castle, having clearly fallen apart over the years. It does, however, end on a hopeful note with Belle showing up. It can also induce ''happy'' tears for fans of the original, the image of Belle finding the enchanted rose being particularly striking.
* Like the musical, the talking objects slowly morph into still inanimate objects the further the curse is applied, and when the Beast is shot by an arrow right before the last rose petal falls, the transformation is complete and we are treated to a half-amusing, half-horrifying scene of all the major side characters saying their good-byes as they one-by-one "die". The wardrobe and Maestro Cadenza, who in this film are a happy couple, share their farewells. Froufrou the footstool dog pines for his owners in a desperate "speak to me!" way until it topples over dead. Chip sees his own mother go, before he himself leaps into the air to save her and is caught by Chapeau the coat rack, who places the silent cup onto the trolley as his last service. Finally, Cogsworth says it has been a true honor serving alongside Lumiere, and Lumiere returns the thanks.

** Also, Cogsworth, who was the most skeptical one from the start, was glad to see his master so happy and was eager for things to return to normal soon. Until Beast lets Belle leave to his utter distraught. Later he rants to the others that he ''knew'' [[HopeSpot they never should have gotten their hopes up]].

** And then when he's on the balcony and roars while watching Belle ride away from the castle. The musical version makes this scene even more tearjerking: [[spoiler:after Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Lumiere walk away, the Beast sings a reprise of 'If I Can't Love Her.']] One version of the song:

** [[spoiler:Later, Gaston readies an arrow to fire at the Beast. The Beast looks at him, but just turns away, too dejected to care about his own safety. Even when the arrow strikes him, he's too depressed to fight back.]] This is the ''true'' meaning of DespairEventHorizon.
*** [[spoiler:And he doesn't even care that he's mocking his kindness. "What's the matter, Beast? ''[[IronicEcho Too kind and gentle]]'' to fight back?!" He just looks at Gaston as if to say "Just end it. Please."]]
*** [[spoiler: Indeed, before this, when he's first informed the castle is under attack? [[DeathSeeker "It doesn't matter anymore. Let them come."]]]]

** It's a testament to the skill of Paige O'Hara and Robby Benson that the dialogue reduced the filmmakers themselves to tears in that scene ''while they were recording it.''
