La Belle Et La Bete

threat and horror

The Beast's face is occasionally shown in close-up, and in some scenes he is bloodied or his fur burns. In other scenes, gargoyles in a castle are shown to have human faces and disembodied hands are seen to reach out. However, the Beast is a figure of pity, rather than horror, and there is no threat directed towards Beauty.

language

The film contains a scene in which a man says "My sisters are bitches". The term is not aggressively delivered and is not directed at the women in question. There is also infrequent use of very mild bad language ('God', 'hell').

additional issues: There are scenes in which a man strikes a woman and another man on the face, and a scene in which an arrow pierces a man in the back, the man subsequently transforming into a beast. The film also contains scenes in which men smoke old-fashioned clay pipes. These scenes do not promote smoking and reflect the age of the film and the period in which it is set.
