![]() Beast's key animator, Glen Keane, spent months surrounded by a bestiary of animals for inspiration, including a mandrill in the London Zoo named Boris and a gorilla named Caesar in the Los Angeles Zoo. Keane said of the final creation, "The first challenge was to design a Beast that felt real, felt like a real animal from earth ... The animal that most inspired me was the buffalo. There seems to be an incredible power and size in a buffalo. But he has very sad cow eyes that say there's a gentleness inside of him." |

![]() Actor Robby Benson, who voiced the monstrous Beast, is best known for playing earnest young men in film and theater and was considered an unlikely choice for the enchanted monster. But the Broadway-trained actor brought an unexpected power and intensity to the Beast's voice, as well as a sense of the Beast's youth and vulnerability. In an interview during production on "Beauty," Benson said, "I'm more excited about this than just about anything I've done." Film: "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) Voice Artist: Robby Benson |
