This Lego set is absolutely amazing, filled with numerous little extras and add-ons that connect beautifully to the film, its characters, and mini figures! There are so many delightful references to the storyline, including two versions of Belle in her ball gown and in her ‘rags’, a mirror featuring Belle’s father hidden in a tower, the iconic rose under the glass dome, and the torn picture of the prince by the beast. The horse and carriage that Belle rides to the castle are included as well, and the beast’s head and prince’s head can be swapped out. The tiny Mrs. Potts and Chip are adorable! Additionally, there’s Lumiere the candlestick and Cogsworth the clock, both of which you need to assemble and make a wonderful addition to the set. Cuisiner the oven features an opening door and comes with pots and pans that fit on the hobs. Madame de la Grande Bouche serves as the wardrobe, complete with opening doors and tiny accessories like a hairbrush! There’s also a spinning wardrobe section where you can place Belle and spin to reveal her in her ball gown. The tiny Lego Ballroom features a spinning dance floor with charming glass panels. I love the stained glass front, the golden castle gates, and the little owl statues. The library is fantastic, featuring two little armchairs and a sliding ladder for Belle to explore her reading choices, along with two tiny book accessories on the shelves. There’s even a banquet table filled with cakes and croissants to enjoy!
The build was straightforward, with all instructions conveniently compiled in a single booklet, which I appreciate as it prevents any pieces from getting lost. You can also access the instructions through the app, which is helpful for saving your progress if you need to pause your build. Overall, this set offers fantastic play opportunities and great value for money with everything included. It truly allows you to relive the fairy tale and discover countless entertaining details!

Some recent lego sets have been a little basic with the feeling that they’ve been dumbing down the bricks just so they can make them look more realistic when built. This Disney Castle, despite being aimed at a younger audience, isn’t like that. Yes there are unique pieces that really help to shape this into a good representation of the castle from Beauty and the Beast, but overall it has a lot of bricks and will take a while to build.
The brilliant thing is that you can build each piece individually (the instructions are designed to do this as well) and then rather than dealing with an increasingly large build you simply move on to the next one from scratch then clip them together at the end. This is a far better idea.
There are loads of nice details, some of which are from the stickers in the set (there are quite a few detailed stickers) but some come from the special features such as the wonderful glass windowed ballroom that has a rotating base and a changing room to change Belle into a dress. There are also loads of characters, all the favourites are includes, some as figures and some as builds, including the wardrobe and cooker that were prominent in the live action movie as well. Chip and Mrs Potts are adorable and even the Beast has his prince face as an alternative.
It perhaps could have done with Gaston as a character to re-create more of the story, I do have a feeling the marketing team underestimate girls not wanting to play with the bad characters but I think they’d love to see him included (and, of course, it should be aimed at everyone). That’s one small concern, though, in an otherwise great set.

This is a fantastic set of Lego, so many little extras and add ons, great links to the film, characters and mini figures!
So many little nods to the storyline, two Belle characters in her ball gown and her ‘rags’, a mirror with Belle’s father in hidden in a tower, the rose under the glass dome, the ripped picture of the prince that the beast tore, the horse and carriage that Belle takes to the castle, the beasts head and princes head are interchangeable. Adorable tiny Mrs Potts and Chip! There’s Lumiere the candlestick and Cogsworth the clock, these you have to assemble and are a great little addition to the set! Cuisiner the oven which has an opening door and comes with pots and pans that sit on the hobs. Madame de la Grande Bouche is the wardrobe which has opening doors and some tiny accessories to store inside such as a hairbrush! There is a spinning wardrobe section that you can stand Belle on one side and spin to reveal Belle in her ball gown. Theres also a spinning dance floor in the tiny Lego Ballroom, with quaint glass panels. I love the stained glass frontage, the golden castle gates and the little owl statues. The little library is brilliant with two little armchairs and a sliding ladder so Belle can peruse and choose her reading material, as well as two little book accessories that sit in the shelves. There’s also a banquet table with cakes and croissants to feast upon!
It was an easy to follow build with all of the instructions placed inside one booklet which I appreciate as it keeps everything in one place so the odd booklet can’t go missing. You can also access the instructions via the app, which also helps as you can save your progress if you wanted to leave the build and come back to it.
I feel this is a great set with fantastic play opportunities and value for money with all that is included. You can really relive the story tale and find so many things to entertain!
