NotesMaurice was originally going to have a song called The Invention Convention. However, this scene was story-boarded but not animated due to time constraints. 26 years later, in the adaptation of Disney's 1991 animated film, the live-action Beauty and the Beast (2017) film, Maurice (Kevin Kline) has a song "How Does A Moment Last Forever" written by lyricist Tim Rice and composer Alan Menken, a ballad who describes the relationship between Maurice character and his wife, Belle's deceased mother. According to Menken, it’s about hanging on to precious moments. In Beauty and the Beast, it is performed twice, first by Maurice when he reminisces about his deceased wife and later by Belle after she discovers her mother's fate. For director Bill Condon, adding detail to both Belle's and the Beast's past was necessary for the audiences to understand the characters: "They're both outsiders, but how did Belle wind up being so different from everybody else in a town where nobody understands her, and how did the Beast become the person who earned that curse? That's the stuff we started to fill in", he said. |
