![]() ![]() He is the first to show any kindness to Maurice, who comes upon the castle after losing his horse and getting lost in the woods. He wears a yellow cravat, brown vest with lighter trim, cream shirt with long puffy sleeves and yellow and ochre leaf-patterned cuffs, yellow and ochre culottes (knee-length breeches) with a ochre sash, cream stockings, and brown shoes with gold buckles.Īfter the fateful day when his master refuses to let a beggar woman into the castle (who was really an enchantress in disguise), Lumiere and the other servants in the castle are turned into household objects, with Lumiere having been turned into a candelabra. Under the curse, Lumiere was a three-armed golden candelabra with leaf-shaped accents, features sculpted in the middle and tallest candle that includes brown eyes and a long crawny nose, and a drop of wax resembling a lock of hair.Īs a human, he’s described as a tall man with fair skin, a prominent chin, and bright copper hair tied back into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon, while also retaining the same eyes and nose. Potts in the same song about his actions "certainly causing husbands alarm" implies that he also was not above at the very least courting married women. In the Special Edition song " Human Again", Lumiere's character is slightly expanded, revealing that he as a human had "a mademoiselle on each arm" and that he was a courtier. Potts to chime in once more, explaining that the romantic affection must be mutual in order for the curse to be lifted. After the Beast eventually does fall in love with Belle and releases her because of this, Lumiere again assumed that the spell would be broken, prompting Mrs. Potts that had to explain the delicacy of two individuals falling in love, reminding Lumiere that it will take time. For example, the evening in which Belle became a prisoner within the castle, Lumiere believed Belle and the Beast could fall in love by midnight of that night, thus breaking the spell. Even so, there were instances in which he didn't seem to understand the circumstances of the curse, questioning how much he truly understands love. Lumiere's admiration and knowledge of romance were also put into good use during the development of the Beast and Belle's relationship throughout the course of the original film most notably when he gave Beast the idea of bestowing the castle's massive library onto Belle, because of her love of books. He is also somewhat of a womanizer, as implied in the Marvel Comics with him fondling two feather duster maids, as well as in The Enchanted Christmas, where he refers to Angelique as an "old flame". This is most frequently seen during his interaction with Fifi. ![]() In addition to this, he can be rather flirtatious and often speaks in a suave, smooth tone. He is also depicted as a chivalrous ladies' man, as Beast often goes to him for love advice dealing with his feelings for Belle. As shown many times in the film series, however, Lumiere values Cogsworth like a brother and vice versa. His free-spirited and rebellious personality often put a severe strain on his friendship with Cogsworth, the majordomo-turned-mantel clock who prefers to abide strictly by his master's rules to avoid any trouble. Nevertheless, after Belle, he is arguably the Beast's closest friend, as the Beast often turns to Lumiere for advice. Incredibly social and hospitable towards all of whom he meets, Lumiere has a habit of disobeying the firm rules of his antisocial master, frequently resulting in controversy. Lumiere is a kind-hearted, charismatic, yet rebellious maître'd of the Beast. This hinged on whether or not the Beast could learn to love another and earn their love in return. ![]() For the following decade, Lumiere would remain hopeful that the curse would eventually break, restoring the humanity of himself and his allies. The prince, meanwhile, would become a monstrous beast. When the castle was overtaken by a curse placed by a powerful enchantress, Lumiere was turned into a candelabra, while the other servants suffered similar fates, also becoming household objects. He also has a notable relationship with one of the castle's many maids, Fifi-a relationship that had been in bloom for a significant number of years, prior to the events of the film. Well-liked and respected amongst his peers, Lumiere is a prominent member of the prince's unofficial council of confidants. ![]() He served as the castle's maître'd, and is interestingly one of the few inhabitants to actually speak with an (albeit, considerably exaggerated) French accent. Lumiere is one of the servants in a French castle ruled by a formerly spoiled, selfish and unkind prince. 4.3 Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure.2.3 Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World.2.2 Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas. ![]()
