In Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast, Gaston claims to eat five dozen eggs each morning.
The boast occurs in the song “Gaston,” where the character presents exaggerated details about his appetite and physical strength as evidence of his supposed superiority. Five dozen means 60 eggs, an intentionally absurd number that makes the musical joke memorable.
The lyric is part of a broader pattern in the song: Gaston and Lefou turn ordinary traits into grand claims, while the villagers enthusiastically support him. The number is therefore a character joke rather than a realistic statement about a daily diet.
A frequent mistake is to answer “one dozen” because that is a more familiar quantity in everyday cooking. The film's lyric specifically says five dozen, and the wording is repeated during the number.
