animated film <a href="/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast_(1991_film)" title="Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)">Beauty and the Beast</a> (1991). Voiced by American actor and singer <a href="/wiki/Richard_White_(actor)" title="Richard White (actor)">Richard White</a>, Gaston is an arrogant and ruthless hunter whose unrequited feelings for the intellectual <a href="/wiki/Belle_(Disney_character)" title="Belle (Disney character)">Belle</a> drive him to murder his adversary, the <a href="/wiki/Beast_(Disney_character)" title="Beast (Disney character)">Beast</a>, once he realizes she cares for him instead. Gaston serves as a <a href="/wiki/Foil_(literature)" class="mw-redirect" title="Foil (literature)">foil</a> personality to the Beast, who was once as vain as Gaston prior to his transformation. Gaston is a character original to Disney, as he is not present in the <a href="/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast" title="Beauty and the Beast">original fairy tale</a>. Imagined by screenwriter <a href="/wiki/Linda_Woolverton" title="Linda Woolverton">Linda Woolverton</a>, who based the character on the <a href="/wiki/Ex_(relationship)" title="Ex (relationship)">ex-boyfriends</a> she dated in her past,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Gaston was developed specifically for Disney's adaptation of Beauty and the Beast because the studio felt that the film could benefit from a strong villain, who is lacking in the original story. As the character evolves from a non-threatening <a href="/wiki/Aristocracy_(class)" title="Aristocracy (class)">aristocrat</a> into an arrogant man relentlessly seeking Belle's hand in marriage, Gaston ultimately replaced a female relative of Belle's who the filmmakers had originally created to serve as the film's villain.

The first villainous character to whom Deja had been assigned by Disney, the animator immediately recognized that Gaston was unique in terms of Disney villains because he was not designed to frighten both the film's hero and audience, as previous Disney villains had been.<a href="#cite_note-:15-27">[27]</a> In the case of Gaston, Deja stated that viewers are unable to immediately decipher whether or not the character is actually an antagonist based on his physical appearance alone.<a href="#cite_note-:15-27">[27]</a> White agreed that Gaston is "full of himself, of course, but he's not recognizably villainous" until his opinions and expectations of Belle are further explored.<a href="#cite_note-:35-13">[13]</a> Deja initially struggled with the idea of designing a "supremely handsome" villain, a specific instruction administered to him by Katzenberg, but he eventually grew to understand the concept upon studying the film's underlying themes of <a href="/wiki/Don%27t_judge_a_book_by_its_cover" title="Don't judge a book by its cover">not judging a book by its cover</a> and "deceptive appearances".<a href="#cite_note-:37-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Deja explained, "I understood him from a story point of view, but visually was hard", and at times argued with Katzenberg over whether or not the character was handsome enough.<a href="#cite_note-:31-29">[29]</a> Some Disney executives also shared Deja's initial hesitation over the character's appearance.<a href="#cite_note-white-22">[22]</a> Deja ultimately overcame his deliberations about the character's appearance by modeling Gaston based on handsome <a href="/wiki/Soap_opera" title="Soap opera">soap opera</a> actors, a creative decision Katzenberg approved of, explaining to the animator "the story we're trying to tell here is don't judge a book by its cover, so Gaston has to have the opposite qualities of the Beast...no one said it was going to be easy!'".<a href="#cite_note-:31-29">[29]</a> White's casting ultimately influenced Gaston's design; the animators adjusted the character's appearance after hearing White's <a href="/wiki/Opera" title="Opera">operatic</a> singing voice for the first time, making Gaston similarly operatic in his movements, gestures and mannerisms.<a href="#cite_note-:5-7">[7]</a> According to White, Gaston's early designs initially looked "much more Brutish" before the animators ultimately decided to go in a "more beautiful" direction,<a href="#cite_note-white-22">[22]</a> basing the character "on a <a href="/wiki/Grotesque" title="Grotesque">grotesque</a> version" of the <a href="/wiki/Prince_Charming" title="Prince Charming">Prince Charming</a> character.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> Describing the design process as highly collaborative between actor and animator, White would record his lines while the animators drew his character, alternating back and forth for several months.<a href="#cite_note-:14-24">[24]</a> This process allowed the animators to incorporate White's acting performance into Gaston.<a href="#cite_note-white-22">[22]</a> Because White continued to perform on Broadway while working on Beauty and the Beast, Disney would accommodate his stage career by hiring a studio to work wherever he was located.<a href="#cite_note-:14-24">[24]</a> White recalled, "The experience is kind of like an actor's sandbox.

Anything you could imagine...they could draw!"<a href="#cite_note-:14-24">[24]</a> In his book Tradigital Animate CC: 12 Principles of Animation in Adobe Animate, author Stephen Brooks observed that Deja's challenge "was to let [audiences] know that Gaston is not as courageous as everyone says he is ... but also keep him a real and credible threat" since he is a villain nonetheless.<a href="#cite_note-:40-31">[31]</a> Both Gaston's personality and physical appearance evolved dramatically during production over the course of two and a half years.<a href="#cite_note-:35-13">[13]</a> Deja incorporated physical attributes of several of Disney's "classic" villains into Gaston's design, specifically the wide chest and square jawline of <a href="/wiki/Captain_Hook_(Disney)" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain Hook (Disney)">Captain Hook</a> from <a href="/wiki/Peter_Pan_(1953_film)" title="Peter Pan (1953 film)">Peter Pan</a> (1953).<a href="#cite_note-:4-32">[32]</a> One particular challenge of animating a realistic-looking character like Gaston was the difficulty of having him express certain emotions that would not result in him looking too "cartoony," but at the same time trying to instill the character's performance with "life."<a href="#cite_note-:15-27">[27]</a> Gaston's expressions were exaggerated to the point of which they exceeded normalcy, essentially "<a href="/wiki/Overacting" title="Overacting">overacting</a>."<a href="#cite_note-:40-31">[31]</a> Deja recalled that he was constantly "walking a fine line by drawing and animating Gaston in subtle ways, yet he also had to be able to articulate emotions like arrogance, anger and evil."<a href="#cite_note-:15-27">[27]</a> To make Gaston a multi-dimensional character, Deja worked to incorporate various "expressions—the sarcasm, the broadness and the expressiveness—that the handsome leading man seldom gets to show".<a href="#cite_note-:26-33">[33]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Publishing" title="Dennis Publishing">Den of Geek</a>'s Simon Brew, Gaston is "animated really carefully, as it would have been easy to slip, and allow us to see the less jovial, more sinister side of his character earlier."<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> Deja maintains "a real discipline here in holding Gaston back, to let the audience hook into him, before allowing his gradual slide."<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> Deja also exaggerated Gaston's proportions to help audiences believe that the character could actually physically face the beast head-on.<a href="#cite_note-:40-31">[31]</a> In terms of research, Deja sought inspiration from male Los Angeles residents who constantly adore themselves, observing them as they fix their hair and admire themselves in mirrors, explaining, "It was fun to observe them and bring some of that attitude to Gaston."<a href="#cite_note-:37-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-:26-33">[33]</a> Creating the character's chest hair, which he exposes during his performance of "Gaston", was a fiercely debated subject among animators.<a href="#cite_note-:31-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-:32-34">[34]</a> Deja described early renditions of the character's chest hair as "peculiar" in design because of the way in which it was combed, "from the inside out."<a href="#cite_note-:31-29">[29]</a> The final version was decided via a contest, in which the animators vied to determine who could best design Gaston's chest hair.<a href="#cite_note-:32-34">[34]</a> Colors were used to indicate characters' emotions and affiliations in the film; while Gaston is dressed in red to represent evil, Belle and the Beast wear blue to depict goodness.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Following Gaston's success, Deja would develop a reputation of animating Disney villains, continuing with Jafar from <a href="/wiki/Aladdin_(1992_Disney_film)" title="Aladdin (1992 Disney film)">Aladdin</a> (1992) and Scar from The Lion King (1994).<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characteristics_and_themes">Characteristics and themes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gaston_(Beauty_and_the_Beast)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Characteristics and themes">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Inner_beauty_and_superficiality">Inner beauty and superficiality</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Gaston_(Beauty_and_the_Beast)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Inner beauty and superficiality">edit</a>]</div> Gaston is depicted as a very narcissistic, self-centered and superficial individual, motivated by extreme jealousy.<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-:22-38">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> Identified as the film's villain by the <a href="/wiki/Orlando_Sentinel" title="Orlando Sentinel">Orlando Sentinel</a>'s Joy Boyar,<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> Gaston is not ugly in appearance, nor does the audience realize that he is a villain until approximately midway through the film and during "<a href="/wiki/The_Mob_Song" title="The Mob Song">The Mob Song</a>",<a href="#cite_note-:5-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-:20-41">[41]</a> a <a href="/wiki/Number_(music)" title="Number (music)">musical number</a> he uses to convince his loyal followers to storm the Beast's castle and kill him,<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> although traces of his villainy are first hinted after he proposes to Belle.<a href="#cite_note-:13-43">[43]</a> Simon Brew of <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Publishing" title="Dennis Publishing">Den of Geek</a> attributes Gaston's increasing villainy to "his raging jealousy and insecurity" that ultimately "transforms him into the story's antagonist" after he finally succumbs to "circumstance[s] of his life."<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> The character's villainy peaks after he attempts to have Maurice incarcerated, although his transformation remains far from complete.<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> Further distinguishing Gaston from the villains in Disney's <a href="/wiki/Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs_(1937_film)" title="Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)">Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs</a> (1937) and <a href="/wiki/Sleeping_Beauty_(1959_film)" title="Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)">Sleeping Beauty</a> (1959), respectively, the character does not undergo a hideous <a href="/wiki/Metamorphosis" title="Metamorphosis">physical transformation</a> before he dies.<a href="#cite_note-:6-1">[1]</a> Mania.com's Rob Vaux observed that Gaston is "small-minded" in comparison to other Disney villains because his ideas tend to resemble those of <a href="/wiki/School_bullying" title="School bullying">school bullies</a>, particularly one whose ego has been inflated "by the people around him," as opposed to "grand schemes;"<a href="#cite_note-:4-32">[32]</a> the character has no known desire to <a href="/wiki/World_domination" title="World domination">conquer the world</a>, lacking ambitions beyond simply marrying the woman he is attracted to.<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> The character is also void of both magical powers and political influence.<a href="#cite_note-:39-44">[44]</a> The Huffington Post's Lauren Duca agreed that Gaston is "more aggressively intolerable than horrifying."<a href="#cite_note-:19-45">[45]</a> Beloved by nearly every character in the film, most of whom revere him as the town's most eligible bachelor,<a href="#cite_note-:31-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-:38-46">[46]</a> Decent Films film critic Steven D.

people "give away their lies as they try to overcompensate."<a href="#cite_note-:40-31">[31]</a> According to Elizabeth Bell, author of From Mouse to Mermaid: The Politics of Film, Gender, and Culture, Gaston "functions...to contrast to the Beast", whose personality ultimately helps make the Beast a more appealing hero despite the latter character's own flaws.<a href="#cite_note-:9-48">[48]</a> While the Beast maintains "a heart of gold" despite being hideous in appearance, Gaston boasts a handsome exterior but remains "rotting on the inside";<a href="#cite_note-:10-51">[51]</a> the Beast risks becoming like Gaston on the inside if he fails to change his ways.<a href="#cite_note-:12-49">[49]</a> Gaston represents "the difference between outward beauty and beauty of the soul," one of the film's central themes.<a href="#cite_note-disney_archs-11">[11]</a> The fact that Gaston's cruel nature is not mirrored by his handsome exterior "further emphasiz[es] the film's message about inner beauty."<a href="#cite_note-:4-32">[32]</a> A visual reference to the Beast's "half-man, half-animal" appearance, Gaston's body is temporarily attached to a pig's head when he falls into a large mud puddle upon having his marriage proposal rejected by Belle.<a href="#cite_note-:7-52">[52]</a> Ultimately, although Gaston mortally wounds the Beast, he is still unable to kill the human who continues to thrive within him.<a href="#cite_note-:8-53">[53]</a> In the end, Gaston becomes the monster the Beast was originally depicted as,<a href="#cite_note-:10-51">[51]</a> and his failure "to transform into a New Man" ultimately results in his own death.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> At the same time, Gaston's cowardice is demonstrated by his decision to stab the Beast in the back immediately after the reformed creature offers him a choice to walk away unharmed.<a href="#cite_note-:21-55">[55]</a> From very early during the film, audiences are led to expect that Gaston's obsession with Belle will eventually drive him to battle the Beast, Belle's love interest and protector.<a href="#cite_note-:40-31">[31]</a> Despite their obvious differences, Gaston and the Beast boast several similarities, namely their shared interest in Belle—Gaston's climactic fight with the Beast is driven by the fact that both characters are in love with the same person, albeit differently<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a>—exaggerated musculature,<a href="#cite_note-:12-49">[49]</a> and respective goals motivated by their own insecurities.<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> Additionally, both characters use Belle's loyalty to her father to manipulate her.<a href="#cite_note-:10-51">[51]</a> The scene in which Gaston sits in his large chair in the village tavern is a reference to him and the Beast's similarities.<a href="#cite_note-:12-49">[49]</a> Decorated with fur and horns, Gaston's chair resembles the Beast when viewed from behind.<a href="#cite_note-:12-49">[49]</a> In his book The Meanings of 'Beauty and the Beast': A Handbook, author Jerry Griswold observed that "given the dramatic contrast between Gaston and the Beast ... the title of the film may actually refer to them alone."<a href="#cite_note-:12-49">[49]</a> In her book Beyond Adaptation: Essays on Radical Transformations of Original Works, author Phyllis Frus observed that the villain's subtle, entirely non-physical transformation into a more demonic version of himself forces the character to suffer a "loss of humanity", in the end justifying his ultimate death.<a href="#cite_note-:6-1">[1]</a> By the end of the film, Gaston has essentially traded places with the Beast, the latter of whom was originally depicted as the story's antagonist.<a href="#cite_note-:30-20">[20]</a> Frus elaborated, "few viewers predict that" Gaston "will finish the film snarling like an animal ... before falling to his death", concluding that the

village's most beautiful woman. However, she refuses his proposal when he throws a wedding party without her prior knowledge. Belle is the only one in town who actually dislikes Gaston for the person he is inside. Thoroughly humiliated, he sulks, but when her father <a href="/wiki/List_of_Disney%27s_Beauty_and_the_Beast_characters#Maurice" title="List of Disney's Beauty and the Beast characters">Maurice</a> shows up saying that she has been captured by a hideous Beast, he comes up with the idea of having him thrown into an insane asylum, unless Belle agrees to marry him. His blackmail plan fails when Belle proves <a href="/wiki/Beast_(Disney_character)" title="Beast (Disney character)">the Beast</a> does exist, and she says that he is her friend, and that he is a better person than Gaston. He becomes jealous, snaps, and decides to gather a band of villagers to kill the Beast, playing off their fears that the Beast might wreak havoc on their village. In the ensuing fight, he shoots the Beast with an arrow and beats him down, taunting him about his appearance, and still refusing to believe that Belle will not marry him. The Beast has no heart to fight until he sees that Belle came back for him, at which point he easily overpowers Gaston and intends to kill him. However, when Gaston begs for his life, the Beast decides to be the better man and have mercy, and climbs back up to Belle. Ungrateful and unrepentant, Gaston stabs the Beast in the back when he sees him embracing Belle, but loses his balance when the Beast swings his arm backwards at him; consequently, Gaston falls to his death. Gaston has appeared in the television series <a href="/wiki/House_of_Mouse" title="House of Mouse">House of Mouse</a>, and was voiced again by White. He makes sporadic appearances, mostly acting as a comedic foil, always stating "No one (insert action) like Gaston!" while walking by, rudely interrupting people's conversations.

He also implied that this version of Gaston is darker than the original.<a href="#cite_note-Luke_Evans_interview-73">[73]</a> In the film, Gaston plays out the same role as in the animated film, though with a few differences. A Captain in the light cavalry, Gaston is a hero to the village, but he is bored with his peaceful life after returning from the war. Gaston pursues Belle, determined to marry her, as she is the most beautiful girl in the village and thus the only one good enough for him. He also finds her independence to be a thrilling challenge, and shows disdain for the Bimbettes who constantly fawn over him purely because of his appearance. When the headmaster and Clothilde catch Belle teaching a girl how to read, they rouse some of the villagers into destroying the laundry invention she made which LeFou informs Gaston about. Gaston breaks up the activity as Pére Robert helps Belle pick up her laundry. While unaware on how this transaction towards Belle started, Gaston scolds the villagers for behaving like this and orders them to go home immediately. At one point, Gaston mentions in a discussion to Belle that the headmaster did not like him at first. He accosts her at her home, subtly offering his hand in marriage for when Maurice dies, but she turns him down. Gaston sulks in the tavern until LeFou cheers him up with a song. Maurice appears, claiming that Belle has been imprisoned by the Beast. While Gaston does not believe in the Beast, he offers to help Maurice in order to find out where Belle has gone. Unfortunately, the way to the castle is blocked, and Gaston loses his temper with Maurice, revealing that he is violent, rough, and demanding. LeFou tries to calm him down, but it is too late; his true nature is revealed and Maurice tells Gaston that he will never let him marry Belle, so Gaston ties him to a tree, leaving him to the wolves. He hopes by doing this, it would coerce Belle into marrying him, as he tells LeFou that after Maurice dies there will be no one to take care of Belle except for him. Maurice later accuses Gaston of his crime, but Gaston fools the people into thinking Maurice is mad and arranges for him to be locked up in the asylum. He privately offers to put a stop to it if he lets him marry Belle, but Maurice still refuses. When Belle turns up and proves the Beast's existence with a magic mirror, Gaston's jealousy drives him to rally the people to storm the castle and kill the Beast, but not before he orders Tom, Dick, and Stanley to lock Belle alongside her father to prevent her from warning the Beast. He confronts the Beast alone and shoots him in the back, claiming Belle sent him. However, Belle appears and the Beast fights back, holding Gaston over a chasm; Gaston begs for mercy and is spared. Instead of leaving, Gaston stands on a nearby stone bridge and shoots the Beast again, twice, this time fatally. As a result of the Beast's life fading, the castle begins to crumble and the bridge where Gaston is standing breaks into pieces, sending Gaston falling to his death into the water below. Unlike in the animated film, Gaston's demise is shown on screen.
