History YMMV / BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992

** And then there are Phelous' self-imposed {{catchphrase}}s for Old Man, "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" and "Ooh, a delicious X!"

** Clara's remarkably simple defeat of [[spoiler:the enchantress]] (i.e. via ''ear pushing'') and shrugging her off as her "evil sister". It almost seems like the movie is admitting how pointless its own main villain was.
*** Although it's not as much that Clara was the one who defeated her, since she mentions [[spoiler: Beauty breaking her sister's curse left her powerless.]] Clara was just taking advantage of her powerless state to humiliate her.

** A lot of people who never read the original story often think the film just got the story mixed up with ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}'' by giving Beauty two evil sisters. In reality, not only are they the villains of the original story, but they've also arguably been part of the story since it was called "[[Myth/{{CupidandPsyche}} Eros and Psyche]]". They've literally been part of the story since before the Beast himself!

** Clara [[spoiler: dragging in the evil fairy by her ear and humiliating her by showing how miserably her plot to drive Beauty and the Beast apart failed. When Beauty recognizes the evil fairy is the same one who kept telling her the Beast was a heartless murderer, Clara just handwaves it as "Eh, my evil sister."]]

** When Beauty asks for some time away from the castle to visit her family, the Beast tells her he will die ''of loneliness'' if she doesn’t come back to him. Not of sorrow or a broken heart at being separated from her; of ''loneliness''. The line is spoken as though it’s supposed to be serious and impactful, but instead it makes the Beast look extremely pathetic.

** [[WebVideo/{{Phelous}} Old]] [[MemeticMutation Man]].

** Beauty not even bothering to hesitate when she learns her father will be spared by the Beast if she goes in his place, perfectly willing to give up her life for the sake of her family's continued well being and trying her best to face her supposed death as strongly as possible.

** Creator/DonBluth's abandoned take on the story was also going to have the evil fairy torture Beauty in her dreams in order to trick her into thinking the Beast was trying to kill her.

** The Beast not only claiming that he will die of loneliness without Beauty ([[FridgeLogic even though Clara is still at the castle with him]]), but somehow knowing that he can only be apart from her for 7 days before he dies.

* HilariousInHindsight: Amongst the PublicDomainSoundtrack is "Aquarium" from Saint-Saëns's ''Carnival of the Animals'', which the Prologue[=/=]curse {{Leitmotif}} from [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast the Disney version]] was based on.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The original author of the story is credited as Jakob Grimm. The original author was Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, who was French and born in in the late 1600's. Jakob Grimm was German and born about a hundred years later, though the Brothers Grimm did a similar adaptation called ''The Summer And Winter Garden''.
