also if anyone wants an update on the gay lefou situation: yes it was played for laughs a little bit, not nearly as bad as we all feared, still a bit cringey at moments but they did right by him in the end (spoilers: he switches side halfway through the mob scene after gaston ditches him to kill the beast when lefou gets attacked by cadenza and in the end dances with one of the male villagers) there was one nice moment during the battle when mrs potts tells him he could do much better than gaston

He has a really good new line added in “The Mob Song” too.

also DUDES, MY DUDES

please stop with the “Making an IDIOT Disney’s first gay character is SO OFFENSIVE!” It’s obviously not being said in relation to the character being a (minor) villain but in relation to him being of perceived low intelligence, and – having a low IQ isn’t a bad thing, guys, you know this.

I think I’m gonna remain optimistic about the Beauty and the Beast LeFou thing until the movie comes out. I’m hoping the storyline will actually be him ditching Gaston and heading off with a man who treats him better, one of the human servant characters I guess? I don’t know. My expectations are low but my hopes are high.

(Side note: I actually do like LeFou, if only because as the comic relief character he was naturally my favourite next to Belle when I was 4. Being so young neither me nor my siblings could pronounce his name, so we just called him “little baddie”.)
