Has anyone seen the Belle anime? It is the Japanese beauty and the beast. Truly gorgeous and beautiful film better than anything disney has made since 2007/2008.
What shocked me though is that belle's middle section is an exact copy of Disney's movie. The castle design is the same if you look at the staircase in the pic. Belle walks through it in a cloak with ponytail and some shots are identical with her walking in hallways and gargoyles looking at her.
There is also a scene where Beast scares Belle and she runs away from the castle in fright. Is attacked and Beast comes to save her from villains. She comforts him afterwards with the digital enchanted objects watching over them. when Belle runs away, Beast has the exact same animation as below for his reaciton so this animation was copied. so Glen Keane was consulted for this movie so I think they did this as tribute to him because movie's director said he loved Glen's beast.
there is also a broken painting like the prince's one in the castle which is part of the beast's origin
also a scene where the villains and Gaston character come to the castle and ransack it like the mob song.
there is also a ballroom scene
Jin Kim who made Elsa and Anna was asked to work on this movie and animate Belle. resemblacne is obvious to anyone so Disney touch is there
please watch you will not be disappointed
If they can do that, why would they not sue a rival animation company for shot to shot copies??? I can only think that Disney knows their own history of plagarism with movies like Lion king and Atlantis so how can they show face??
