What is the name of the Beast's enchanted candelabra?
Answer
Lumiere
Answer
Lumiere
The Beast’s enchanted candelabra is named Lumiere.
Lumiere is the castle’s French-accented maître d’, transformed into a living candelabra when an enchantress curses the prince and his household. His name comes from the French word for “light,” an appropriate choice for a character whose candles glow brightly during the castle’s darkest period.
In the 1991 film, Jerry Orbach voiced Lumiere. He is energetic, flirtatious, and frequently defies the Beast’s strict orders, especially when welcoming Belle. His closest friend is Cogsworth, the enchanted mantel clock, and the two often bicker despite working together to help Belle and the Beast fall in love.
A common mix-up is confusing Lumiere with the object he becomes. Lumiere is the candelabra; Cogsworth is the clock, Mrs. Potts is the teapot, and Chip is the teacup. Lumiere also appears prominently in “Be Our Guest,” one of the film’s signature musical numbers.
