I don't know if I knew/remembered that it won Best Picture at the Golden Globes. Did you?

Someone who wasn't mentioned in the article was Greg Drolette who was a background painter on the film and a model for Gaston.

But the beast is actually a prince, and the French monarchy ended in 1792 due to the French revolution and all that. It can't have been a happy ending if that happened just a few years later.

One alternative is that they were all cursed right before the French revolution happened, and when they all became humans again and discovered how society had changed, he might have said something like; "Now when we no longer have a monarchy and I no longer can call myself a prince, then at least I can just call myself the owner of this castle". It would probably not work well to add it to the movie, but maybe it could be mentioned in some other context.

(Some says because the curse lasted ten years, it means the prince was just eleven years old back then, but what if their aging stopped while they were under the curse? The teacup Chip is still a small boy when he becomes human again.)

Love Belle's laughter here, but the prince's laughter is hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmVFBAjh9k&t=245s

I'm guessing that if you use graphite you can control more of the line, making it stand out less or more, make it thicker or thinner, while a red pencil is simply drawing. If so, graphite would require more focus and control, and therefore be more time consuming.

One of my teacher told us that the character was animated in two different places by different animators. Part of the scenes were made in the USA and the other were made at London. That's why you can see different versions of the character in the movie. I don't know if this is true but He told us so. We also had the chance to talk with an Spanish animator who worked in the movie a little bit in a event that We made in my school.

Long time no see...

Let me explain a little about the "blue pencil". They aren't regular blue pencils (also come in red and green)... they are non-photo pencils. The reason animators used them was because they didn't show when tested under a camera (as opposed to a scanner). So the animator would sketch out the scene in blue, flip it... make endless corrections. Once they figured out the right poses, they would (usually) go over the blue pencil with a black one, and really define the drawing better, and then it could be tested under a camera. This would then go to a cleanup artist.
I knew a cleanup artist that would actually turn on their lightbox, trace the animator's drawings very lightly in blue pencil, then turn OFF the lightbox, and THEN do the clean drawing in black pencil. That way they could focus on making a good looking drawing instead of focusing on the tracing aspect of it.
