Gaston’s Bow and Arrow
Gaston- who doesn’t love to hate that hunky cartoon character? He’s known to have a true hunter and a great shot, which begs the question- why doesn’t he actually use that gun he is always carrying around? Did the animators just get lazy?
Hardly. In fact, Disney went into such detail here it’s a little hardcore. Gaston doesn’t use his gun because in the scene when they hunt the beast, it’s raining. So what, you ask? Well, it turns out that gunpowder is rendered useless when it gets wet. Now, that is some serious commitment to detail, Disney. I mean, we’ve already agreed to watch a movie about a man who becomes a beast, who becomes a man again because of a magic rose- gunpowder could get wet, we’d never know.
