8 Surprising Things About Beauty and the Beast — From the Original Belle and Gaston!

Beauty and the Beast is by far one of our favorite Disney animated classics. While we're ecstatic to see Emma Watson play Belle in the live-action rendition, the original will always have a special place in our hearts.

In honor of the movie's 25th anniversary, the voices behind Belle and Gaston did a Reddit AMA where we learned more about the film and the actors themselves. The multitalented Paige O'Hara, who you'll find to be just like Belle in real life, began on Broadway and her oil paintings can be found in the Disney Fine Art Collectors Editions. Richard White also has roots in Broadway and opera and recently starred in the Broadway remake of Jekyll and Hyde.
