In a recent interview with Variety, newly crowned EGOT winner and frequent Disney composer himself Alan Menken accidentally spilled the beans on the title of his newest project, the Disney+ Gaston and LeFou series.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Disney is in early development on a spinoff series centered on Gaston and LeFou from 2017’s billion-dollar live-action remake Beauty and the Beast with Luke Evans and Josh Gad set to reprise their roles. Now, thanks to a recent interview with Luke Evans we have an update on
This week, we watched the second Beauty and the Beast sequel, Belle’s Magical World. This direct-to-video film, released in 1998, was originally conceived as a television show, likely in the vain of Aladdin. Ultimately, the show never came to fruition and what was left was three segments that are loosely tied together for this film.
Back in March, reports surfaced that Disney was working on a prequel series to its 2017 billion dollar live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, that is centered on the villainous Gaston and his loyal companion LeFou played brilliantly by Luke Evans and Josh Gad.

There’s been a lot of discourse over Disney’s live action remakes lately. Who should be cast in them? How close should they be to the original? Why are they even being made in the first place?

Yesterday we reported that Disney had submitted three songs from Beauty And The Beast (“Evermore”, “How Does A Moment Last Forever”, and “Days In The Sun”) to the Academy to be considered for nominations for Best Original Song at next years Oscars.

The
Although the original animated film had a couple direct-to-video spin-offs, there hasn’t been a true sequel to The Beauty and the Beast. From what I’ve heard about the live-action movie, though, is that it is it’s own animal entirely, and given the surpassing of the billion mark at the box office, the idea of a
A tale as old as time is at once fresh and familiar, thanks to Disney’s remarkable live-action adaptation of the animated classic, “Beauty and the Beast.” The story of a beautiful young girl who selflessly gives up her freedom to free her father from being held captive in an enchanted castle by a fearsome beast—and
There’s no question that tickets have been in high demand for Walt Disney Studio’s live-action adaptation of its classic animated tales since 2010, when Tim Burton’s update of Alice in Wonderland had a stellar $116 million opening weekend at the domestic box office and eventual haul of $334 million.
