Not quite the prerequisites for an altruistic (and by that I mean not ripping the face off of anyone who comes within 20 feet of you) lifestyle.

** Well we do see Phillipe carrying him back to the castle, and most people fanwank that the Beast was still semi-concious and managed to get on the horse Aragorn style. But...look at the ending! Gaston meets his demise by letting go of the roof, but the Beast does the same thing! He's waving his arms around in the air when Belle stops him from falling by ''grabbing his shirt''. And then she pulls him onto the balcony! Sure it looks like the Beast is helping a little, but he's suffering from a stab wound, and after a cutaway to the sidekicks we see Belle lowering him onto the floor because he's too weak to move. So really, Belle probably just lifted the Beast onto the horse with her super-strength powers.

** It's a skill that many a bookworm has honed. Especially in a small town where there's likely to be the same mud puddle most of the time to be avoided. When one can walk half a mile to class and not remember anything of the trip for having one's nose in a book, it's understandable that a small village is no match to the dedicated reader. And as everyone around her says, Belle is [[{{BurnTheWitch}} weird]].

* This is not really something toy can expect from Disney, but why wasn't the beast more ugly? He was like a giant teddybear. I long for the day when they make something very ugly and THEN enforce the point that it's the inside that counts. In this and the hunchback the designs made them look almost cute. It didn't really get the point across that even if ypu don't LOOK kind or cute you are still a valuable human being and you can be as kind as good as anyone else. I know I'm enforcing very strict codes here, but it still bugs me.

** I think perhaps she simply gave him a body to match his personality. He acted like a monster, and so became one. It also goes along with the observation that most of the transformations the servants went through were somehow thematically appropriate to their jobs; i.e. the maid becomes a feather duster, the tea lady becomes a teapot, etc.

** The filmakers themselves admit that the Beast is character that succeeds at what he was designed to do that he does it ''too'' well. So much time and effort was spent on giving him deep, complex character development and giving him a unique look to go along with it that they sort of forgot that he has to turn back into a guy at some point. The audience spends an hour and half getting involved with this character who they identify visually (due to the afformentioned character design, which is simply fantastic I might add) and build him up as an actual, living, person trapped in the form of a monster. It's not that the Beast is attractive at all (seriously, he has the face of a bison and a monkey smashed together), it's just that the Prince is far less stunning visually to look at by simply being human. It's not that he's actually unattractive, it's simply that he's ''less fun'' to look at than the Beast

* Also, why do people think that Belle is a LoveMartyr and that the Beast is sexist, cruel and abusive? If Belle had fallen for Gaston, who is a straight up CompleteMonster, I'd agree, but Beast actually ''does his best to be better for Belle's sake'' as he realizes he can't threaten, bitch and/or mistreat everyone to get his way done. Not to mention he falls for Belle and attempts to change because ''she's the first person who doesn't doesn't take his crap'', which forces him to think twice about WTF he's doing.

Only after he failed with everyone within traveling distance, or once he ran out of money did he make a last ditch effort to rescue her himself, and by then he was desperate, broke, hungry, and worn out.

** It could also be that the king and queen had more than one child. It wasn't uncommon for royal family to have more than one castle (sort of like vacation homes that they could choose to stay at) and often, members of the family would go there by themselves. Maybe the prince was visiting there for a time when the whole Enchantress business unfolded. Also, if the king and queen ''did'' have more than one child, the prince wouldn't rule over anything unless whichever sibling inherited didn't have any children of their own.

*** Maybe the town got hit by a weather front? It's not uncommon for late fall to be a little warmer during the day than it is at night, and France can get particularly cold in the evenings (I've experienced it first-hand). Maybe it was passable warm during the day, but once the sun went down and the temperature dropped, it got cold enough to where it started snowing?
