Paige O'Hara (Belle), Robby Benson (Beast) Interview at "Beauty And The Beast" Premiere

[ThatGreenDayFanatic]

Robby is my cousin O.o

[copnite12342]

@ThatGreenDayFanatic really?

[Zero8880]

Prince Valiant and Aleta!!!

[Guigley]

Paige O'Hara was such a flawless piece of casting. She is so good as Belle that you totally forget that you're listening to a voice combined with animation. She truly became that character. Over 20 years later and none of the magic is lost.

[PREZILLA2009]

Vote if youre gonna see it in 3D.

[alterbridgefan99]

@PREZILLA2009

I just got back from seeing it in 3D :) I'm 24 and I loved it. My favorite scene has always been the library scene.

[3kikikiki]

I went to high school in Davie, Florida with Paige-she was one grade senior to me. She was incredibly talented even at 16, and had the leads in our Drama Club. Always professional and very mature.

[9claudiajenssen]

I love paige o'hara's voice. I could just listen to her talk all day!

[JBicks18]

Wooow...totally can't tell she voiced Belle! Her voice is so different!

[MrHeatherway]

How cool to see Disneyland's Belle walking along with The Beast. They always bring up the characters from Disneyland for these Disney premieres in Hollywood. Disneyland's Rapunzel, Tinkerbell, etc. all get that extra gig up the road from The Magic Kingdom.

[SurferShan]

I just want to hear him get angry

[ShadowChanceSassy]

Knowing these two iconic voices are great.  If only they had Mark Hamill who's mostly known for the voice of Joker in all the newer Batman cartoons, or as an actor, Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars trilogy. I'm sure them three would get along so well with all voice talents.

[CheshireHellKat]

Is it just me, or does that woman look like a stuck up bitch? Maybe it's the nose and how it points slightly upwards, giving her a kind of perpetual sneer.

[wonderv8]

are they a couple in real life?

[Serdikhan]

@wonderv8 Hell no, the only time you see them together is only when it involves big Beauty and the Beast events. They're never seen together outside of that.

[Serdikhan]

What an idiot!

Snow White is the first brown-eyed Disney Princess and Belle wasn't even born a princess, she becomes a princess at the very end of the film.

And Belle's eyes are HAZEL, not brown.

[sonria23]

@Serdikhan Snow White's eyes are blue. Just FYI.

[Serdikhan]

@sonria23 I'm not sure what Snow White you're refering too, but it's 100% not the Disney version. And there are video clips from the movie that proves it.

[missa122796]

They really look like Beauty and the Best..

[Serdikhan]

@missa122796 I know, it's an ugly image.

[jamievmey]

Robby Benson looks rather beastly....

[faketeeth6]

@jamievmey i was thinking kinda the same thing - w/ all that hair :P

[lilsisasu]

I have to say, even at 20 years old, Beauty and the Beast is still one of my favorite Disney movie of all time. It takes me back to when I was young. I remember pretending to be belle when I was little. I wish Disney would make some more classic movies like this.

[missmaggieblair]

Is the girl that is dresssed up as belle, traci hines?

[Ceci14]

man, I would love him as my teacher

[shubdawg70]

@Ceci14 Who? You mean Robby Benson?

[Ceci14]

@shubdawg70 yeah lol I guess he's a professor at a college

[poeticjoka]

omg robby benson looks so freakin hot, hes such a beautiful man to be able to pull off the long gray streaked hair at his age and making it look so elegant and sophisticated, and sexy, love seeing the two of them together thanks for uploading

[nddlj]

The Belle character is beautiful and she can really pull of the "Belle" look...the Beast costume is scary...I think they should have the prince form out more than the Beast..

Urgh, if Robby were wearing a wife beater shirt with ripped jeans he'd totally look like a bum!

[atolm1]

@nddlj if Robby was wearing a wife beater and ripped jeans id rip his clothes off, he is so hot.

[Riddler95]

The film was given a presentation at a theater to accommodate with the Blu-Ray release?

[VenusMy129]

That Beast costume is scary!

[eddievaliant1]

Robby Benson loooks almost exactly like the Beast himself - they both basically have the same long hair

[mascaragirl818]

Paige is the perfect Belle! I can't imagine anyone else as Belle's voice! But wasent Snow White, the first brown eyed princess?

[Serdikhan]

@mascaragirl818 I can imagine a better voice for Belle. But americans probably can't. And Belle's eyes are not brown.

[Anaksunamen999]

Robby benson looks HOTTER than ever rocking the english gentleman hair styke sighs! His wife is darnnn lucky! Its a shame they didnt clone him. darn shame. sexy voice.

[emoviebuff87]

whoa!! they sound almost exactly the same!!

[Anaksunamen999]

aha! I knew Belle had brown eyes!! the last version that came out the colour made it look like she had green eyes!

Didthis newer edition change belles eyes back to brown?

[Pr3ttyL0v3]

@Anaksunamen999 a lot of Belle dolls were made with green eyes, too. Always bothered me, even though it was a little thing...

[Serdikhan]

@Anaksunamen999 Belle's eyes are HAZEL, a mix of brown and green. Belle is hazel-eyed and always has been. Is hazel a new eye color for you.

[KekoaOnorati]

Ohhhh Prince Alexander... le sigh.

(Thumbs up if you get the moderately obscure reference.)

[PrincessKateAdore]

I love listening to Paige's voice and imagining Belle in my head!

[tygortora]

Having grown up with this movie, I mean it came out the year I was born! Belle was always my favorite of the Disney princesses and I think we all wanted to hug the Beast at one point or another (because hugs make everything better when you're little ^_^). It's a well-loved classic now, though saying that makes me feel a little old.

[WinterRose4444]

Robby still makes me swoon. He only gets more handsome with age. :)

[davtagr8]

running brave

[babygurl59033]

he's got great hair!

[Sarahmajig]

I wanna hug that guy in the Beast costume.

[ESUTERURE]

You do realize that these two are in their middle 50's right?

I think that Robby is still good-looking.

[EnchantedMind0]

They are amazing human beings

[GatorGirl04]

Wow! I got really sentimental seeing and hearing them together again. They were such a big part of my growing up and it's wonderful to see them still embracing and loving their work in still the BEST animated feature ever. God Bless 'em all.

Thanks for posting!

[bellagirl89]

they sound like perfect, older Belle and the beast, like you can imagine this is how they sound like after 20 years together :)

[62SG]

@bellagirl89 Funnily enough 20 years later both characters would probably be killed in the French Revolution.

[bellagirl89]

@62SG Well.. lol :P Probably, but this is Disney.. anything is possible! ;)

[defygrav12]

I think her voice is so beautiful and mature; exactly as I'd imagine it to change over the course of two decades. lovely!

[dragonbleu1000]

The worst thing about this interview is the lousy camera work. Worst I've ever seen for an interview.

[codysbud]

Paige was told that she needed sound like Jodi Benson who did the voice of Ariel. Paige's natural voice is what you hear.

[Pr3ttyL0v3]

@codysbud I was a little awed when I found out years ago that the voice of Ariel wasn't the same as Belle; they sounded so similar. And then I got disgruntled when I found that they wanted someone to sound like Ariel. What was the point of getting a different voice actress, then? Silly Disney.

[shariotoflove]

...does Benson have Alzheimers?

[aruwin25]

what happened to robby benson?He looks like a beast!He looked so handsome when he was young

[dragonbleu1000]

@aruwin25 He's still handsome. What is the problem? (lol)

[RobbyBensonScrapbook]

I don't think people realize Paige O'Hara played Belle 20 years ago, voices do change a little bit. I definitely hear 'Belle' in her voice. Robby looks great! Thanks for posting this. :D

[popstar12002]

@RobbyBensonScrapbook I accidentally gave your comment a thumbs down it was suppose to be up. Sorry!

[ntherewas1]

wow belle sounds so much better in the movies...i think they had her raise her voice for the movie

[autumnangel17]

@ntherewas1 unfortunately i agree. i was really trying to hear Belle and it just wasn't happening.

[YupperDoodelz]

@ntherewas1 She is an actor. They're capable of raising their own voice. It's called acting.
