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

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Beauty's father supposedly means well, but it's quite aggravating how unsympathetic he was is in this movie. Trespassing in the Beast's castle and eating all of his food was innocent enough, but then he somehow let it slip that Beauty was the one who was supposed to die in his place, with the unfortunate phrasing that Beauty packing him food made him realize sparing her was the right thing to do, of all times. He also personally brings Beauty to the Beast's castle, caving into her "if you love me, you'll let me do this" demand and begging for her life with a wide smile on his face. Then when he leaves Beauty at Beast's castle, he "leaves quickly and doesn't look back." Beauty told him to, but it still counts.

** 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.


Added DiffLines:

** Having [[spoiler:the enchantress]] play a much larger role in the story could have had much more interesting possibilities. For instance, the fact that she [[spoiler:actively undermines any attempts to break the curse]] both addresses the DisproportionateRetribution angle the story is often accused of and gives the narrative an excellent foil. Instead, all we get is a generic villain whose endgoal doesn't make any sense and who is offhandedly defeated by [[spoiler:her sister]] with an ''ear push''.

* CompleteMonster: Beauty's god awful sisters Alicia and Pauline go beyond being lazy, spoiled brats when they eagerly try to convince Beauty she should let the Beast kill her instead of their father, all so the Old Man will continue taking care of them and so they'll finally get rid of their perfect sister. They then top themselves after learning not only is Beauty still alive but is treated like a queen by the Beast, they'll manipulate Beauty into staying past her deadline by pretending they've had a HeelRealization so the Beast will die. They do all this for the sake of destroying Beauty's happiness in an extreme desire to make her as jealous of them as they are of her. What sets them apart from the [[spoiler: evil fairy]] is how much focus is put on highlighting how utterly incapable these two are of acting like decent human beings and content to ruin the happiness and well being of anyone who pisses them off. It's especially grating because Beauty, despite being just a little annoyed at their selfishness, ''always'' showed them love and respect and was overjoyed to think for once they were becoming happier people and wanted to forge a healthier relationship as sisters.
