Eisner's cousin is a techer at my high school. I have a period each day where I work with him one on one.
He said that all Eisner was good at doing was marketing the hell out of thier movies. For example, when the film of the lion king came out he came up with the idea to creat stufed animals of all the characters ect.
The Beast transformation is simple. It was something that was kept under lock and key via contract until the show closed. But, now that the show is closed there are peopel talking about it.
During the battle scene when Lumier is telling the beast that the castle is being attacked and the Beast just says for them to come. That is a voice over and the actor is a double.
The real beast is getting the major parts off of his costume off and returns by the time it looks as if he is going to die in Bell's arms. During the transformation he pulls off the very simple bits and lo and behold the prince is in front of us.
