Talk:Beauty and the Beast (2017 film)/@comment-26835448-20161018145511/@comment-4487748-20161106031714

The fantasy/fairytale castles (like in Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella) are nothing like the real life ones. Historic castles used in medieval times were not  emphasizing luxury and regalness like a palace would. A castle's main purpose was for war and most had rather small living areas. There were exceptions to the rule though. Windsor Castle is huge and very luxurious, but I doubt Her Majesty or the British government would allow Disney to film a movie in her favorite residence. They would not film there anyway, the land is too open and too flat. There is also the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, which is very Disney-eque in architecture. They could possibly film there if the government would allow Disney to borrow it for a while.
