10 Exact Moments Films Made You Fall In Love With Them

Beauty and the Beast is a contender for Disney’s greatest film of all time. Being one of the very few animated movies to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, it had the perfect romance, the most stunning illustrations and utterly charming characters.

But most of all, Beauty and the Beast captured the hearts of audiences because it was as Broadway as Disney ever got. Like watching a stage musical through animation, every single number is an achievement in character development, clever lyrics and exciting choreography. And it doesn’t get much more Broadway than the Be Our Guest sequence.

By this point in the film, the story has been fairly dark as Belle is imprisoned by the monstrous beast in order to save her father, who she is now separated from. That's why the Be Our Guest number comes at the perfect time. A showstopper with a flair of Busby Berkeley, Jerry Orbach gives an outstanding performance as the lovable candlestick Lumiere. Featuring lively colours and plenty of panache, this is the moment which made Beauty and the Beast one of your childhood favourites.
