Greatest Characters from Beauty and the Beast (2017)

The Top Ten
1 Captain Gaston (Luke Evans)

Luke Evans did a great job playing Gaston! I love that they made Gaston more mean in this Beauty and the Beast than in the cartoon one. I like the new songs. I think How does a moment last forever tuck over Beauty and the beast as the mane song.

He is always a good character, but this Michele seriously didn’t need to be made. It was better as a cartoon- the silent film original is also a masterpiece.

Yes in this version Gaston is a war hero.

2 Cogsworth (Ian McKellen)

You could tell that Ian was channelling his inner Gandalf. This clock with a Shakespearian voice is the sergeant major of the castle's staff.

3 Beast (Dan Stevens)

Dan Stevens is amazing!

4 LeFou (Josh Gad)

Much has been said about Josh Gad's so called gay character. It's more of a hero worship rather than a crush.

Same actor who plays Olaf in Frozen

5 Lumiere (Ewan McGregor)

Ewan himself had often said that his French accent sounded a bit more Mexican. A Mexican / Spanish Lumiere would have sounded fun.

I love him just because Ewan McGregor played Obi-Wan

6 Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson)

It's a rather inspired decision to make this teapot have a cockney/East London accent. I guess that's nearly all bases covered.

7 Belle (Emma Watson) Belle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991) and in the live action remake Beauty and the Beast (2017). Belle is the intelligent and selfless young daughter of an inventor who does not conform to the normal ways of her small ...read more.

The irony is that Emma turned down La La Land for this. Let's be honest though Emma Stone would have been a complete miscast for this.

Yay! It combined my fave Disney princess and fave Harry Potter character!

Belle is great, she deserves to be number 1

Emma Watson is a perfect Belle!

8 Plumette (Gugu Muthba-Raw)

Better than the animated

9 Madame De Garderobe (Audra McDonald)
10 Cadenza (Stanley Tucci)
The Contenders
11 Sultan

This was the dog in case you don't know. I don't know who he was played by, by the way.

12 Maurice (Kevin Kline)
13 Stanley (Alexis Loizon)
14 Lumiere (Oscar Isaac)
15 Mrs. Potts (Katy Kalata)
16 Cogsworth (Eric Idle)
17 Mrs Potts (Julie Walters)
