Beauty And The Beast: 21 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

15. "Be Our Guest"

When Maurice first enters the castle - because he likes trespassing in every version of this story - Cadenza the enchanted harpsichord (played by Stanley Tucci as a brand new character) can be heard playing the first few notes from "Be Our Guest" to creepily welcome him.

This is apparently included in reference to the fact that in the 1991 animation the song was originally intended to be played for Maurice when he arrived. Ultimately it was decided he wasn't important enough, but at least he gets a small tribute here.
