- TriviaRyan Gosling was offered the role of the Beast but turned it down to appear in Những Kẻ Khờ Mộng Mơ (2016) instead. Emma Watson was offered the lead role in that movie but turned it down to star in this one. La La Land won several Oscars, including Best Actress for Emma Stone, who accepted the role Watson passed on.
- GoofsWhen Belle ascends the spiral staircase it is initially a clockwise spiral, yet when she emerges at the top it is the reverse.
- Crazy creditsThe Walt Disney Pictures logo features the Prince's castle (with Villeneuve village in the background) in the evening before his masquerade party starts. A rosebush appears near the castle and the Enchantress picks a rose from it, leading into the opening.
- Alternate versionsThe film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

Featured review
Not Quite as Good as the Original
An adaptation of the fairy tale about a monstrous-looking prince and a young woman who fall in love.
If you have one of the all-time greatest cartoons, there are things you can do with it. Turn it into a musical is one. But turn it into a live-action version with practically nothing changed (though a few scenes added) may not be your best idea. Especially if such a version relies on CGI and you have neither the time nor the ability to pull it off.
But if you are going to do it anyway, I suppose you could do much worse. Emma Watson was the ideal casting choice and no one else would have worked. No one. Josh Gad is spot on as LeFou. The Beast could be better, perhaps. My biggest casting complaint is Maurice. I suppose in this version he is less eccentric, but why is this the case? And why so tall? Kevin Kline is fantastic, but is he really Maurice?
