Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration I think is the most colorfully diverse Disney production since Cinderella (1997)
Belle is played by H.E.R., a Biracial Black-Filipino singer!!
the background cast is a rainbow of skin tones!!
the main characters of The Beast’s castle staff are diverse as well!!
Including David Alan Grier as Cogsworth, Martin Short as Lumière, Shania Twain as Mrs. Potts, and Leo Abelo Perry as Chip
Maurice, Belle’s father, is played by Filipino actor, Ernesto Cloma Briones Jr.
Gaston has dreads! And arms as thick as tree trunks! (played by Joshua Henry)
