Hohoho, cool company!

Nice outfits, but Golden Films is shit. And who is that beast with hunch?

Golden Films is kind of low-budget, but they do pretty well for all of that. As for the rhino-based, humpbacked Beast, check the keywords; he's from HBO's "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales For Every Child", which presented an Africanized version of the story.

I saw their cartoon called thumbelina. And it was a dumb cartoon.

Golden Films donates the profits from their films to children in need all over the world. If I were you, I'd watch my tongue about who I'm calling "shit." It's one thing to not like what someone does, but it's another thing to be disrespectful about it. Especially to such good golden-hearted people. Got that?

I didn't know that. But cartoon was weak and im watching my tongue, and where you found this information.

Here : http://www.goldenfilmsmedia.com/about.html

and here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Eskenazi

It's fine of you don't like the cartoons they've produced, but from now try to be more respectful. There are some people who actually do like the Golden Films cartoons (like me, for example). And just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's "shit."

Ok, they are not shit. They are good.

P.S. Charity is one thing and cartoons is second. Don Bluth's thumbelina was colourful and alive. They are good people, but bad cartoon makers.

In all fairness, making a cartoon is not easy. I studied animation and made a few animated clips myself. A lot of time, hard work and team effort goes into making animation. Golden Films is a low-budget company. They can't afford to do the dazzling animation you've seen from Don Bluth's studies (which has been out of business for years now) or even the Walt Disney company. Their quality may not be the best, but it's good for what it is, and they make cartoons for younger children.

So instead of saying they're bad cartoon makers, you could say they're less experienced cartoon makers.

wait... Don Bluth is not making cartoons anymore!? His "Titan after earth" and "Anastasia" was my childhood cartoons and i still watch them. They are so colourful, so beautiful, so much animation and characters are alive. Golden films have good crew, but they making weak cartoons. I know one russian cartoon. Maybe there is no english translation cuz it was made when USSR was alive, but the cartoon was awesome. Look at this videoclip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM87rwMpUcc . Cartoon in english translation is "Know-nothing is on the moon".
Maybe those cartoons are better for me cuz i watched them in childhood and watched golden films company's cartoons in my adult age. But i think i wouldn't watch golden films for long in my childhood.
I respect you and golden films, but lets be clear. They need to make their own story.

Sadly yes. Dispite how good those two movies were, they didn't take in enough money to make up for the string of loses he made with some others (Rock-A-Doodle, A Troll in Central Park and The Pebble and the Penguin) and keep his studio open.

I respect that you don't like Golden Films, but they make fairy tales for little kids, and fairy tales are in the public domain. Anyone is free to make their own adaptation. Let's make something else clear: No offense, but since you are not CEO of Golden Film, they don't "need" to do what you say they need to.

You know what. I saw many bad things that i want to focus only on good things. So, the Golden films is really doing something, you doing something, i doing something and if there's some people like golden films despite Nickelodeon and cartoon network, then everything is fine. And. Rest in peace "20 century fox". What about old USSR cartoons?

20th Century Fox is not dead. I said it was Don Bluth's Animation studio that closed.

then good. But still you know what i meant

ok this is kinda cool

have all of these apeared as the beat in beauty and beast?

Not all of them. The furthest one on the left is his original character. The second is Beast from X-Men.

Yes, in a way. From left to right:

Benny the Beast appears in, among other things, "Benny, Leo and Johnny's Adventures of Beauty and the Beast".

Dr. Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy is the X-Man known as Beast. He appeared in a limited series pairing him with rock-star superheroine Dazzler under the title "Beauty and the Beast".

Golden Films' "Beauty and the Beast" produced Beast #3.

Beast #4 is from HBO's "Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child", which presented an Africanized version of "Beauty and the Beast". (Thus his rhinoceros-inspired form.)

Beast #5, of course, is Disney's Beast from their 1991 film, "Beauty and the Beast".

They look great

Got that right.

Though it's never mentioned in the film, Disney's Beast does have an actual name; he's Prince Adam. (No relation to He-Man's alter ego in "Masters of the Universe".)

The version of Dr. Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy (no relation to Star Trek's Dr. McCoy... we think) in this picture is based on his appearance in Marvel's X-Treme X-Men, after a secondary mutation turned him feline in appearance. Before this, he looked more like a gorilla, having mutated himself in order to dispose of a mutagen he had created, which was (unknown to him before this) going to be used to produce mutant soldiers. Before that, he looked like a human being with really big hands and feet.

While HBO's version is based closely on the French story, there really is an African version of "Beauty and the Beast": The Story of Five Heads, a Xhosa folktale.

The original French folktale had a lot more backstory and detail:

* Belle's mother was a fairy princess. The merchant had won her hand at the fairy market, but she could only remain married to him until she bore their third daughter. Once Belle was born, her mother vanished. (This is why Belle's two sisters in the original hate her so much, if you hadn't guessed. Her three brothers like her just fine, though.)

* The Prince's mother died when he was born. Because a King with a Prince and no Queen is no safer than a King with a Queen and no Prince, the child had to be raised away from the dangers of court. He was entrusted to a fairy friend of his mother's that had always wanted a child.

Unfortunately, she wanted a Prince to marry, and was... disturbing... to the young Prince. Though she gave him a castle, a magic window on the world, and even a magic ring that could take him anywhere, he didn't love her. When he reached the age pf majority, he was finally able to tell her to go away and leave him alone. In return, she changed him into what she thought he was for this: A stupid, ungrateful beast. The spell could only be undone by marrying a woman of fairy blood. (So technically any of the merchant's daughters could have broken it.)

(The "no love in his heart" idea is a Disney original. In the Victorian rewrite of the story, Beast was transformed because his parents didn't believe in fairies. Remind me why this is supposed to be less disturbing?)

* As you can guess from above, the Beast's temper was also a Disney addition. In the original, his biggest social drawback aside from his looks was that his IQ had basically been cut in half by the curse. This is something of a plot point later, when Belle's sisters marry:

One sister marries a handsome man... who's so vain that he keeps her from looking beautiful enough to distract from him.

The other marries an intelligent man... who uses his intelligence to insult and belittle her.

Seeing her sisters' marriages lets Belle know just what a prize she's got in the loving, attentive, humble Beast.

* Seldom touched on is Belle's reaction to the Beast's transformation into the Prince. She didn't fall in love with a Prince, after all. In the original, the Prince actually has to calm her down in order for her to understand what happened. (In the Disney version, she recognizes his eyes... but they cut the line where she asks if he'd be willing to grow a beard...)

I like the one in the middle, I want to smooch him.

This is awesome! Love the old-timey coloring and film scratch effect. Very cool!

I like McCoy's look the best

So this is The Good, The Bad and The Beasty ?

Darn tootin'! :D
