[edit] Beast's Species

Here's a tidbit on Beast's overall "species" that seems to be lacking from the article.The information is from the Special Limited Edition of the movie.

According to the character designer for the Beast, the Beast's overall design is based on a idea he had of the Beast being a combination of different animals. This idea came complete with a sketch of how his skeleton would look it.

• Lion - His face and mane are obviously from a lion.
• Bison - His horns are from a bison.
• Boar - His tusks come from a boar.
• Gorilla - His upperbody comes from a gorilla.
• Wolf - His legs and tail come from a wolf.

Some parts maybe wrong so it may not be 100% accurate and may need some varification which is why I'm putting it up here instead of the article. Whoever wants to, may add it to there. Anway, it makes good trivia for any fan of the movie.BeastyPrince 17:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm changing the beasts human name from Prince Adam to simply, Prince, The ambiguity of his name added to the mystery of the film, and I feel is an important part of his character.

The primary body frame of the Beast is a bison, the designer (forget his name) said so himself, also it is quite obvious when you actually look at a bison. Majinvegeta

[edit] The Page Name

Why is this page called "Beast (Beauty and the Beast)"? I named it "Beast (Disney)" so as not to confuse it with the Beast from another BaTB, like the Vincent Beast from the TV Series with Ron Perlman. It should be moved back. Jienum 18:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Adam?

Prince Adam qualifies as original research, and you aren't allowed to include obvious OR on Articles. I'm changing it back to just "the Prince". It is okay to mention that the Disney Encyclopedia refers to him as "Prince Adam" within the article itself. Majinvegeta

Well, we can't refer to him as "Prince" as if it's his name. We should say "an unnamed, eleven-year-old Prince", and "Beast turns back into the prince". Jienum 15:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improving the Article?

I won't lie to any of you, but I must quite frankly say that this article is less then "featurable". Since it doesn't look like anyone's really been working on this in quite some time, I would like to hear ideas at how we can improve this article. I was thinking maybe we could add more stuff to the opening paragraph and to the actual development of the character, citations, etc. Any other suggestions? --Majinvegeta 19:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
