7)Chip is an only child
Chip, the little boy turned teacup, sleeps in a cupboard with his brothers and sisters in the animated film. In the new version, he is Mrs. Potts's only child.
8) There's new music
Alan Menken composed four new tunes for the musical, including a solo moment for the Beast called "Evermore," which he sings after letting Belle go free. Other new songs on the soundtrack include Celine Dion's "How Does a Moment Last Forever," Audra McDonald's "Aria" and "Days in the Sun," when the objects in the castle recall what it was like to be human.
9) The "grey stuff" gets downgraded
During "Be Our Guest," Lumière offers a platter of treats—including the "grey stuff"—to Belle, but unlike in the animated film, she doesn't actually sample it. A real-life version of the dessert is available at Disney World and there are countless recipes for it online.
10)There's a new character
Stanley Tucci plays Maestro Cadenza, a harpsichord and love interest to AudraMcDonald's Madame Garderobe.
11) Gaston leaves Maurice to die
In the animated movie, Gaston pays a man to take Maurice to a mental hospital against his will after Belle refuses his advances. In the live-action version, his betrayal is far worse. He attempts to help Maurice retrieve Belle from the castle—if only to make himself look better. But when complications arise on the way to the castle, Gaston and LeFou abandon the carriage and tie Maurice to a tree in the forest, leaving him—quite literally—to the wolves.
12) The Enchantress plays a bigger role
Disguised as an old woman, the Enchantress curses the Beast at the beginning of the movie. But she remains in the village and shows up at a crucial moment near the end of the film.

#Evermore#
I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I‘ll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she’s still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It‘s more than I can bear
Now I know she’ll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me, call me, hurt me
Move me come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore
