It always feels very different to listen to this (and honestly a ton of Ashman's songs) with the added context of knowing it was written by a gay man in the late 80s.

it fucked with me hard when I learned that there is a strong case that Beauty and the Beast served as an allegory for Howard Ashman (and the gay community in general)'s struggle with AIDS, a struggle that claimed him before he could claim his Oscar for the film.

Dreamsounds goes into a lot of the intersection of Queerness and the Disney Renaissance, i saw this video as the second highest search result when i plugged in "Dreamsounds beauty and the beast"

I'm realizing you may have seen these videos already but even so
