Lumiere (Belle's Magical World)

Lumiere (Belle's Magical World) "Sacra bleu!" - Lumiere's reaction to his flanderized counterpart in Belle's Magical World Gender: Male Type: The Jerk Side of Lumiere Portrayed by: Jerry Orbach Status: Active Media of origin: 'Beauty and the Beast' First appearance: Beauty and the Beast

Lumiere is one of the supporting characters in Beauty and the Beast. He is the Beast's maitre d' who became a candelabra during the Enchantress' curse on the castle. Sadly, he was flanderized until he redeems himself in the 2017 live action remake.

Why He's NOT the Candelabra We Know

1. Similar to Belle and the Beast, Lumiere became an unfortunate victim of flanderization as he went from being a cheeky and intelligent Frenchman into a perverted womanizing jerk (See below)
2. He is shown hitting on Chandeleria, which counts as very perverted.
3. He and the other servants fail to get the Beast to control his temper.
4. He is blamed by Plumette, who thought that he was having an affair with Belle.
5. He and Cogsworth both acted like spoiled brats in "Mrs. Potts' Party", such as their preferences over music, flower and cake's flavors.

Redeeming Qualities

1. He was a more likable character in the first two films and redeems himself in the live action remake, unlike Belle and the Beast.
2. Jerry Orbach still did amazing as Lumiere.
