Bill Condon directed the evergreen Disney Classic Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. The film was released in 2017. It is an adaptation of 18th century fairy-tale. Earlier in 1990 an animated version of this film was made. Disney has always believed in recreating cinema in order to get the younger generation acquainted with old classics.

The film was a heartthrob work of animation and CGI. Top animation courses take it as an epitome of marvelous animated content. It might have crossed your mind what animal the beast actually is. It might appear as if it is a giant cannibal but all the features of its body are completely different from each other.

As depicted in the picture above you can see that the hair features are similar to that of a barbaric lion thus mane of a lion. However, the beard and the shape of the head resemble that of a buffalo. The brows are that of a gorilla. Belle insists on finding humane characteristics and humanity in the beast. She makes him realize that there is still humanity left inside of him. Keeping that in mind the animators have designed the eyes in the shape of humans.

The beast doesn’t have usual teeth but has tusks similar to that of a wild boar. Although, the overall body is in the shape of a bear. This accounts for the entire physical body. The lower body, i.e. the legs and tail are of a wolf. This beast is a clear example of how well coordinated a game of imagination can go. If you can imagine it, you can make it. That is what animation is all about. Enroll in the top animation institute in India for getting the best training and make your own characters.
