Quiz: How Well do You Know the Opening Monologue From Beauty and the Beast?

The opening monologue from Beauty and the Beast sets the tone for the entire film in a way that exposition rarely can. There is stained glass. There is an authoritative voice. There is enchantment. There is epic music. It’s always been one of our favorite parts of the film. Upon attempting to recite the entire thing from memory recently, because that’s the type of thing we do, we were ashamed to discover that we didn’t remember it as well as we’d previously thought. So we’re challenging you to see how much of this prologue you’ve retained over the years. The results may surprise you. Or maybe they won’t. But you won’t know for sure unless you take the quiz:
