Beauty and the Beast

New this monthQuestion: A bit morbid one, but there's a broken off - therefore missing - piece of Chip's teacup "body." Shouldn't he miss that part from his human body as well when the curse is gone?

New this monthAnswer: Not necessarily. There's no indication in the film that every part, feature, or molecule of their furniture bodies is equivalent to one on their human bodies. When they're changed back to their human form, they don't need to "match."

New this monthAnswer: Don't disagree with the other answer, but Chip, being a small child, could have lost a baby tooth, and that was the missing piece. So, not morbid at all. (I just checked some online photos of human Chip, and he is missing a front tooth.)

Beauty and the Beast mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the 'Gaston' song sequence, near the end, Gaston is sitting in his huge antler chair with Lefou. In the wide shot, there is a bear rug behind the chair. The camera does a close up of Gaston, then in the next wide shot, the chair is on top of the bear rug. Also, after this, Gaston gets up off of the chair and in the next shot, both the chair and the rug disappear completely. (00:29:20)

Trivia: When Gaston has his feet on the table at Belle's house, a bit of the mud strongly resembles Mickey Mouse's head. This follows the long standing Disney tradition of having "hidden Mickeys" in their movies.
