The candle from beauty and the beast is one of Disney’s most iconic symbols. In the animated version of the movie, the rose acts as a countdown towards the curse being made permanent.
It’s a beautiful and delicate looking candle that looks like it was carved from a coconut shell. The swirl is very carefully shaped and only A grade fragrance is used.
A few months ago, Disney broke news that the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast will include a gay character. This was huge news for many queer fans, as few animated princess movies feature any kind of openly gay characters.
This is a perfect example of how the movie changed and grew as the story was adapted to live action. While the original film only features a single gay character (the villainous Gaston), the live-action version expands on his story and allows him to come out of the closet.
Another gay character in the new film is Cogsworth, who’s a clock. He’s a very caring person who loves to keep track of time.
He’s also a very romantic guy, and is clearly in love with Lumiere, who is a candelabra. They’re not a couple in the movie, but they’re clearly very fond of each other and are often seen together throughout the film.
A few other gay characters appear in the film, including Le Fou, a French cane. He’s a friend and minion of Gaston.
