I like how while he's a beast, Belle actually knows him as "Beast." He doesn't seem to have an actual name, either. If I were the beast, and she called me that, I'd be like, "Look, Babe, I know I'm a hairy monster and all, but I have a name. I mean I get reminded of this curse every time I look in the mirror or get my ass sniffed by the royal ottoman/dog. The last thing I need is your sarcastic pet names, Toots."
On the Special Edition DVD (*cringe* am way too old to have a stockpile of disney dvds!) commentary with the writers or whoever they mention that it wasn't until they got to the end part with Belle running over to the Beast that they realised he didn't have a name and they go on this riff of how odd it would be for him to call out "Belle!" and her to be all "Tyrone!" -- or any other random name out of nowhere so they just left it as 'Beast'.
Bahahaha! That never fails to crack me up. I ALWAYS think of Beast as 'Tyrone' now. Always.
Well, I'm glad somebody associated with the movie mentioned it, because it always bothered me. Another thing that bothered me is that there's a huge castle on the other side of a forest, housing a rich and presumably powerful prince, though nobody in the local area seems to know anything about him. Was this a hermit prince, and did he only really rule over the people in the actual castle? I mean I would understand if he were just some wealthy guy, but a prince? Surely somebody in Belle's home town knew something about the castle whose master and servants were magically transformed into monsters and animated junk, no more than a score prior.
Anyway, despite these queer plot quirks, Beauty and the Beast is probably still my favorite animated disney film.

Ah yes, I agree with afifah. And it holds up over time (and childhood) better than pretty much any other Disney movie.
