10 Little But Mind-Blowing Details You Missed In "Beauty And The Beast"

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Disney classic "Beauty and the Beast". True, I enjoy all of the classic Disney films, but the 1991 original "Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite. It was the first animated picture to be nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Picture."
The live-action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast was fantastic, but nothing compares to the animated version's brilliance. The tale, the characters, the musical pieces, and each hand-drawn frame are all so well-crafted that it makes my head hurt just thinking about how many hours must've gone into producing it.
I've seen it several times and appear to have gained a better understanding of the classic. There are a lot of amusing tiny elements strewn throughout "Beauty and the Beast" that I didn't think about when I first watched this movie. So, today I bring you a collection of 10 hidden details you completely missed. Check it out!
