I like when they would cast voice actors (well, Robby Benson isn't really a voice actor), not any big name celebrity that would reel in box office money.
Now THIS guy is what I thought the Beast would look like as a human - scruffy and sexy with darker hair like the Beast's fur. I can't stand the way the Prince looks, it's like he's a completely different person.
He did a nice job as the voice of Beast, but I will always like his teenage voice best, when he kind of slurred and didn't articulate so clearly. Very sexy.
@Blaterator I would get it. :) I'm on deviantart, what's your name there? I'd like to see the pics. Because I run the Robby Benson scrapbook websites. Maybe I can use them for credit? Thanks!
@Blaterator Hi, this is RBScrapbook from my main YT channel. Thanks for all the comments. I wholeheartedly agree, and The Chosen is one of his best films, he was terrific in that.
@JacobBlackLova I agree. Aged like fine wine! This was a very scruffy look, but they say when you do voice work you can roll out of bed and run to the studio and record in pajamas. lol.
@mermaidamp LOL. Thanks for all the comments. Robby is very boyish looking, but he's so handsome. You can watch videos of him now with the release of the 20th anniversary. There are quick interviews on YT. I thought Gaston was scarier than the beast...well, not at first of course, he was just a jerk then and the beast was frightening. The beast was handsome and sweet as a human, but you didn't get to see too much of him that way. I like how he was drawn to look like a Michelangelo painting.
When I was a child, the Beast and Gaston scared the crap out of me. Their behavior wasn't pretty. Today as a 20 year old woman who will be 21 in November, I like the beast as a human better than a monster,because I wish that I could have a photo with him and Belle in the theme parks next year in the Summer.
I just found out that he had open heart surgery, apparently he was born with a heart defect. But he made it out okay. Didnt know he was an author, writer, and director too!
@morchie717 Hi, this is RB scrapbook, yeah, poor Robby underwent 4! Open heart surgeries,I actually didn't realize he just had one in May. He created a play with beautiful music called 'Open Heart' back in 2004. He does it all. You can check out all his credits on his newly updated website. robbybensondotnet
ya finally I find out who did the voice for the Beast "Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite movie I loved the beasts voice and the actor is handsome. I also love that he sings for the beast too.
@beauty2392 Hi, this the RBscrapbook answering from anoth.channel. I love Robby's voice, and he is very handsome, did you notice how they captured his eyes for the beast/prince in the movie? They're so big and bright blue. RB is an accomplished singer with a very pleasant folksy voice.
@Serdikhan But remember the beast was a young 21 year old spoiled prince before being cursed. The casting agents wanted someone with a gentle voice this time around..Not sixty-something James Earl Jones.
@Voyagersguidebook A sixteen year old James Earl sounds nothing like Adult Simba. English voices suck, that's why their pathetic. Like they have a choice
@Voyagersguidebook Ahh, you said Simba..which was Matthew Broderick, I was thinking of his father, Mufasa. Matthew's voice is similar to Robby's I don't see why it would be so different...but, you have your own opinion on this, so I won't drag it out.
Believe it or not, Robby was 34-35 when he did the voice of the beast, so you're not far off, lol...I love his voice too. "D And I agree on the eyes, Robby's eyes are definitely like the beast/Prince, they made sure to keep that in. At 56 now, Robby still looks super great and his voice is just as brilliant. :D
Sorry, this is Robbybensonscrapbook replying under my other main YT channel.
I agree, they weren't given enough lines, though I think Prince Phillip in Sleeping Beauty was the first Prince to actually do something and have some screen time, he was cute too. lol.
Love Robby Benson, I use to watch him a lot growing up. I have a son named Robert and I told my husband I would only name him that if I could call him Robby. Hence my Robby. of course everyone wants to spell it Robbie and I tell them no it is like Robby Benson.I thought it was a good compromise. He gets his name and I got mine.
i ahve had a crush on robby benson since ode to billy joe. i wish that we could all age this well. he still looks 30! i used to get him an dthe guy that shazam, michael????, they both are way too cute and have grown older looking really young.
The crew had to play with his voice as they would with anyone, Robby was able to make it as deep and growly as he could, but they also added real animal grounds and I guess lowered the pitch too. It came out real cool.
Really? LOL. I remember seeing him in things all my life but never connecting the two until I saw this clip and I then I said, him?? I LOVE this guy! Thus my Robby passion was born, lol.
I'm stiLL convinced, after over 30 YEARS now, {*groan!*}, that Robby Benson has to be just about the most delicious guy God ever blew air into! ~Great upload!;p
Robby was able to capture the beast's deep, harsh tone very well, but his performance was also aided by literal recordings of animal grunts and growls to make the beast sound more...beastly. Only when he's the prince at the end do you hear his real voice.
yes, but that needs clarification. the animal recordings were only used for his roars/grunts. they were not used to enhance his voice in any way whatsoever. he was just using his throat more to add grovel to his voice.
AloraCote, he IS one damned good voice actor! :) they should use him again.
One of the most gorgeous men to ever be on film.. those eyes, that voice.. total yum. I just wonder how he looks today? Is there anything recent on him? I'm sure he's still great.
I love him! He really cracked me up in Beautifu and the Beast when he was like, "You come out or I'll break down the door." Lol! That's one of my favorite lines. He has a totally hot voice both when he speaks normally and when he plays the Beast! He kicks butt!!!
It's amazing how soft his voice is when he's talking normally but how deep his voice is when he's playing the beast . I couldn't stop looking at his eyes though thier gorgeous
Beauty & the Beast is one of my favorite Disney Movies. Robby does a super job as the voice of the Beast that I can't imagine anyone else who could have done it justice!
I can't believe theres still so much love out there for Robby. I grew up with Robby, literally since we are the same age. Fortunately for him, he looks much better than I do at age 50+! What a doll baby he is, and talented, a good father...What a joy in this day of trashy actors and papparazzi!
Ohhh but only true Robby Benson fans know his name is spelled ROBBY . :o Eh.... lots and lots and lots of people do that. ; D Mmmm... peanut butter haha
I believe you COMPLETELY! ; D Have you seen the Robby Benson picture site my sister and I have made? The link is on the side here. We met Robby in person this year. He was so wonderful in every way. I got to hug him, talk to him, ask him a question... There are pictures of that day on our site. It was at a book signing. I'm Valerie. *waves* This is my sister Giner's account.
Really you did?! Oh my God you are soo lucky I envy you soo much! :) The link of your site didn't show up here though. :/ What is the name of your website, so then I can type it in and see it. :) I can't beleive you met him and even got to hug him! That is soo cool! :)
