"Be Our Guest" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman for Disney's thirtieth animated feature film, Beauty and the Beast. Originally recorded by American actor Jerry Orbach and English actress Angela Lansbury in their film roles as the characters Lumiere and Mrs. Potts, "Be Our Guest" is an up-tempo Broadway and cabare...
In the film, the song is performed in the style of a large-scale musical number by the castle's staff of enchanted servants to Belle in an attempt to make her feel welcome. This was against the Beast's orders, prompting Cogsworth to try and put an end to the spectacle—despite getting into the fun eventually.
•In one scene, the plates make a reconstruction of the Eiffel Tower. This is historically inaccurate, as it had yet to be built in the time in which the movie takes place.
•The song was originally written by Ashman and Menken to be sung by the enchanted objects to Maurice instead of Belle. However, story artist Bruce Woodside felt that the song would make more sense if it was sung to Belle, the main character, as opposed to secondary character Maurice, and directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale agreed. Despite this, however, most of the lyrics were not changed.
•Footage of Angela Lansbury recording the original version of the song can be seen in the Beauty and the Beast trailer on the 1991 VHS release of The Jungle Book and the end credits sequence for Waking Sleeping Beauty.
•This song shares the same tune with the song "Les Poissons", sung by the chef in the movie The Little Mermaid.
•The melody to this song was originally played as a rough ditty from Alan Menken, to give lyricist Howard Ashman a general idea of the style of the song. When the time came to actually put music to the lyrics, Alan Menken soon realized that the ditty he played worked with the lyrics that Howard Ashman had written.
•This song was the title song for the tape Disney Sing Along Songs: Be Our Guest.
