What plot holes exist in Beauty and the Beast?

Nick Viall 0:58
what's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the vile files reality recap edition i am your host nick and i have a small bone to pick with the movie beauty and the beast oh my goodness we watched it last night with river we decided to call up in bed it's fun it was cute it was great i haven't seen it in a long time good movie yeah But in the beginning of the movie, the story is like the young prince was kind of a prick, and then the witch came, turned him into a beast, yada, yada, yada. And then there's this flower that wilts away, and then on his 21st birthday, he has to fall in love or he's a beast forever. And then they're like, as the years have gone by. And I'm like, wait, are you telling me, like, how old was this prince when he answered the door by himself and a witch showed up? Like, where is his parents? No mention. How many years went by? You know what I'm saying? Like, they made it seem like his 21st birthday?
Amanda 2:02
Yeah.
Nick's not wrong. I looked up a guide to the plot holes in Beauty and the Beast, and the first one is 10 years we've been rusting, dot, dot, dot. How old was this prince? 11.
Leah 2:12
He was just a boy.
Nick Viall 2:14
Yeah. It's like the witch turned him into a beast. It's because he was a spoiled little brat.
Derek 2:19
Well, if we want to like get into it, Snow White was 14 and Ariel was 15.
Leah 2:25
Yeah. Do better.
Nick Viall 2:28
I mean, I'm not like fine. I get it. They're teenage. I'm just saying, why is this prince alone in a castle by himself with a bunch of servants?
Derek 2:36
Do they specify how many years go by? They just say as the years.
Nick Viall 2:39
They said as the years gone by, like implying 30. You know, like.
Leah 2:45
Maybe he ages differently in Beast years.
Well, so Lumiere and Be Our Guest says for 10 years we've been rusting. 10 years.
Leah 2:51
Oh, so 10 years.
Ciara 2:56
10?
Leah 2:57
Because he's not 21 yet. Because he's not 21 yet. Oh. Well, in Game of Thrones, that little boy prince sucked.
Amanda 3:04
And he was, what, like 13, maybe 12? So maybe it was a time period. Oh, yeah, ages were different.
Natalie Joy 3:10
You know, this is the past. It's just like, where is the king and queen? I don't know.
Amanda 3:15
He did turn into a beast for 10 years. And they didn't care. I'm like, think about just like growing pains, you know, and I snapped at you and I don't know why. Maybe we couldn't add that. Maybe he ate them. I don't know. Disney has tragic family or parents dying stories in every movie.
Nick Viall 3:30
As River gets older and we go back and rewatch some movies. You know, I'm paying attention, Disney.
Natalie Joy 3:37
Anyone remember the movie Spirit with that horse?
The saddest one ever to exist.
Natalie Joy 3:41
With the horses?
That movie is so sad.
Natalie Joy 3:43
Horse movies are so sad. First of all, Nick was like, I've never heard of that movie. Second of all, I can't find it anywhere.
Nick Viall 3:49
I have it on DVD. You want a horse movie and cry? Black Stallion.
Justin 3:58
2002.
And it's also on Peacock.
Natalie Joy 4:00
It's DreamWorks, I think, right?
It's on Peacock. That's what it says. There you go, babe.
Natalie Joy 4:04
Do you really want to revisit that and cry? No, I think Nick's dad showed me a clip of it. I'm like, that's not it. That looks way too animated.
They did remake it, though, recently. So there's two versions of it now.
Amanda 4:15
They've remade Spirit? We need an animation remake? No, it's like a real horror.
Justin 4:20
I get way more... What?
Well, that one's hot, too.
Nick Viall 4:24
Then Natalie, before we turn on Beauty and the Beast, turned on The Lion King 2. And then she turned it on. I was like, wow, this is low budge. They really mailed this one in.
