Change Back!

kiffieI just watched the Hallmark "Beauty and the Beast," courtesy of the Tube of You.
It was a wonderfully-made film, and I'm surprised I'd never managed to see it before now. It's one of the few that managed to both stick to the plot of the original tale and give a good, engaging story. Still, at the end, we come to that common problem -- the Beast is dying, Belle offers him her love, and then...
Change back.
Seriously.
Eugh.
Why is the Prince always so... *makes hand motions* ...yech? And it's not like there was even much of a costume change, here, only the removal of a mask and some gloves. But there was a huge change in his demeanor, speech pattern, and carriage. And not in a good way. It all suddenly became very, very offputting and, even, outright unappealing.
Humph.
I could do without the tusks, pal, but I'd like the polite, gentle woobie back, if you don't mind.

BAD 70'S SOAPS.
I'm disturbed by this... I don't know which form is WORSE. I mean, the Beast is ugly and hognosed and ick, but the guy underneath is like... Benjamin Franklin after a few rounds of scotch. O_o Dear GOD. DX
