There are so many reasons why old Disney movies are much more memorable and funnier than the newer stuff producers today serve us, and this scene of the castle raid from the 1991 version of Beauty and the Beast is one of them.

Scene breakdown beneath the break. Spoilers in effect.

LeFou grabs Lumière as a light source (candelabra) after the mob crashes the door in with a battering ram

Lumière signals to the other inhabitants to spring their ambush

Furniture begins attacking villagers

Coatrack lays down a rolling jab combo on Blonde Nail-Club-Wielding Guy

Older Sideburns Guy gets tackled by a mop

Bad-Toothed Redhead Guy gets double-teamed by two wardrobes whilst trying to swing at them with an axe, suffering bad dental damage

Balding Pitchfork Guy takes a cooking pot to the head, obscuring his vision while a spoon, tenderizer, and frying pan bang against the pot, potentially causing concussive damage and hearing problems from excessive ringing

Bald Red-Bearded Axe Guy gets knocked over by a chair and rolled up by a carpet which rolls straight into a storage chest… which burps. Shadows in the background show a guy holding a spikeless mace that fights back by knocking against his head

Gaston looks on flabbergasted to see one axe-wielding guy has his eyes covered by a pot only to have a wooden bucket fall on top of his face, whilst a Shovel-Wielding Cook gets struck repeatedly by a rolling pin until he falls over

Meanwhile, Chip uses Maurice’s steam-powered wood-chopping machine to cut through the cellar doors where Gaston kept Maurice and Belle locked away to keep them from alerting the Beast

Back to the castle violence, a Wilhelm scream happens as windows shatter, people go flying, a shadow of a guillotine dropping its blade can be seen, and Shovel-Wielding Cook from before gets pelted by tomatoes thrown by beer steins, where he then gets doused in hot tea by Mrs Potts and six other teacups

Panning out to general chaos, Madam Armoire jumps from the second floor while singing a high note and lands on Redhead Bearded Farmer who was busy chasing a coffee table

Cutaway briefly to Gaston hunting for Beast in the castle’s upper floors

Madam Armoire knocks out Bucktoothed Hammer Guy then Club-Wielding Short Guy in two swift motions while Redhead Bearded Farmer remains unconscious next to them

Older Pitchfork Tricorne Guy tries to ambush Madam Armoire while her back is turned, only to get parried with help from a brush and comb. He then gets pulled straight into the armoire, then thrown out wearing a completely different outfit, where he screams in fright as he realizes what he’s wearing

LeFou tries to burn Lumière with a torch, but Cogsworth- wearing a blue bicorne hat similar to the one Napoleon wore- brandishes a pair of scissors and a pistol before ditching said pistol to slide down the banister and painfully lance LeFou in the bum with his scissors

Cutaway to Stout Tricorne Guy yanking feathers out of Featherduster, where Lumière then burns his bum with candle fire and catches Featherduster mid-fall

LeFou, now flanked by Saber-Wielding Tricorne Guy and Big Bearded Axe-Wielding Guy, begin chasing Sultan through the foyer into the kitchen

Once in the unlit kitchen, Chef Bouche- a large stove- and a large collection of knives chase the three of them out of the castle with the rest of the still-conscious mob, leaving any unconscious casualties behind

The casualties? Several people left behind unconscious, but potentially many more unconscious offscreen if you saw the manpower of the mob as they marched to the castle. At least one thoroughly humiliated.

during the castle front flyover with the Wilhelm scream, the shadow showing a dropping guillotine could also suggest at least one death, although this is left uncertain for obvious reasons (though the use of shadows in older works has been used to considerably effective- and sometimes chilling- effect in other older works like the final fight scene in Tarzan). beyond this, the only known death in this part of the movie is Gaston, who falls off the roof and into the awaiting canyon where gravity does him in

TLDR? animated movies today- Disney or not- can’t recreate the silly cartoonish violence from these fight scenes back then, no matter how much CGI they use. and that doesn’t even mention the growing list of things producers are discouraged from adding to today’s movies that were commonplace in scenes and movies like these

I’m making a pavlova for Passover tonight. I did a six egg recipe and made a lemon curd with my yolks, so plenty of curd. I suspect an additional lemon would’ve made my flavor pop more but it’s too late now.

It was my first time doing meringue but it came together nicely even without caster sugar. We’ll see how it goes when it comes out of the oven.

#ramblies #my beloved was making other stuff but did step on to reshape the meringue on the baking sheet cause it was too thick #we’ve got berries and eventually I think I have to whip cream but I’m so tired #putting off hauling out the stand mixer again

Back when we first started watching Bake Off I told my betrothed that I didn’t think pavlova looked that interesting. I couldn’t understand why people would lose their shit over meringue and fruit.

Determined to prove me very wrong, they made one. And I. Was so wrong. They make it with fresh cream, lemon curd, berries, and meringue. It was blissful. I adored it.

That was several years ago and now it’s one of my favorite treats.

Today, while finishing off the one they made for a dinner party they paused and said, “I think you saying you didn’t think pavlovas were interesting is the truest example of eating your words.”

Do you ever have a craving for a food they've never tasted? A drink that's never touched your lips? Every time you eat or drink something it tastes two dimensional, like a poor caricature of the flavours it should have. Yet you still can't help but compare it. "This one's too sweet" "This one has the wrong texture" You search forever but you are never satisfied. You will never again taste what you long for.

#Food #ramblings #I can't tell if this is fairy food or a weird dream or just sensory issues #the closest I've come is meringues filled with lemon curd that has the flavour and texture of cool spring water #but also it's like none of those things #this has been haunting me for almost a decade now #I don't know what exactly it tastes like but I know which direction to go in from normal food #so I've basically just been playing marco polo with a random flavour for a good chunk of my life

RAMBLING ABT STRBRY SHRTCKE !! (and self insert)

OK HI i am very excited to talk abt this (sorry the picture is like,, weird, i took it in a rush and i havent finished it)

ANYWAYS yes i made a self insert strawberry shortcake character.

His name is Lemon Chiffon. i was unaware of Lime Chiffon's existence when i named him. He is Lemon Meringue's twin brother.

i thought having relatives have the same last name "Snap, Shortcake, Blossom, Meringe, etc." was weird since the fruit names would be more common. like theyre of the same fruit, just different dishes, they should have the same fruit in their name... if that makes sense.

similar to how japanese names work, i think. the last name is more common to use regularly, while the first name is more,, personal ? correct me if im wrong i havent fact checked.

back to lemon chiffon. Since i made Lemon Meringue more similar to her original 1980s design and personality, she is an actress and/or model; though shes just starting.

i wanted lemon chiffon to mirror that, but in his own way. as an artist, i immediately wanted to make him an artist. i also wanted him to maybe be an actor as well, possibly acting along side his sister.

[lemon] chiffon is more laidback than his sister. he comes from big apple city, but decides to stay in strawberry land for a while to visit his sister. he's kind and charming, the same way his sister is, but less vain and more joking.

some people might be familiar with my persona, Crem ! if youre wondering, yes theyre very much the same LMAO

i want him to have some dumb silly romance-ish plot but im still unsure who hed have it with. since we all know strawberry and orange are girlfriends, as well as angel and ginger.

huckleberry and blueberry have been paired in the past, but if im being honest i never really felt like they clicked. huck is sporty and outgoing, and i imagine blueberry to be more closed off and silent. it could work but i think blueberry would just get annoyed LOL

am i planning to make huck have a little gay panic over a pretty boy in the town ? maybe idk you tell me (yes yes i am)

ive rambled so much but yes say hello to Lemon Chiffon he is silly and i wanna throw him off a cliff thank you for listening i love u if u read all the way mwah <3
