In the original Beauty and The Beast, Lefou was taken out of action pretty quickly, and was never seen in the film again.
As if having the first interracial kiss wasn’t enough of a ground-breaker, Beauty and The Beast now has a gay character, and he’s been given a happy ending of redemption.
Not so with 2017’s version, as Lefou not only teams up with Mrs. Potts, but also gets paired off with the man who approved of his makeover by Madame Garderobe.
Now for a guy that was palling around with our villain, that’s kind of cheap, considering the sidekicks usually turn against the villain or get disposed of themselves.
