Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Three very buxom village girls swoon over Gaston in several scenes.

Gaston approches Belle suggestively asking for her hand in marriage, saying they can have "strapping young boys" like him running around the house.

Lumiere's character is a casanova. In one scene, he and a female featherduster engage in some amorous play. Some of the dialogue between them could be considered mildly suggestive as she says "I've been burnt by you before."

In the Director's Cut, there is a line in the song "Human Again" which states that if Lumiere were back in his human form, he "would cause several husbands alarm."

The featherduster is later seen very briefly in her human form as a buxom young woman in a French maid outfit. Lumiere lustfully chases after but is interrupted.

Violence & Gore

Belle is attacked by wolves, and The Beast comes to save her.

A few comic fight scenes occur in a bar.

Belle's father is nearly carted away to an asylum.

A song is entitled "Kill the Beast" and is sung by Gaston to turn the villagers into an angry mob.

The fight scene between the mob and the castle objects is mainly comical, but can be frightening to some children. An armoire crashes onto someone from above. A character is comically stabbed in the rear with a pair of scissors. A fiery stove and kitchen knives threaten some attackers.

Gaston fires an arrow into the Beast's shoulder.

The Beast holds Gaston by the neck over the edge of the castle and is later stabbed in his side with blood shown in one shot, but not in subsequent ones.

A character is seen falling to his death from a great height.

Profanity

Maybe some very mild archaic exclamations.

There are some brief references to beer in the bar and characters are seen with full beer steins.

During the "Gaston" song in the bar, the villagers sing about how no one "takes shots" like Gaston. Gaston fires three bullets from his gun into a barrel of an alcoholic beverage, it spills out, and some men fill their cups with it.

Some young children might be frightened by The Beast in his early scenes.

The cursed castle is decorated with statues of horned demons, snakes and the like.

Characters surrounded/attacked by wolves in two different scenes.
