# Suburban Fairytale Remixes 'Beauty and the BEAT!' is a YouTube Parody of the Classic Disney Story By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-and-the-beat References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2012/06/27/beauty-beat-video/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Rau01wbeo&feature=player_embedded) 'Beauty and the BEAT!' features the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection) princess Belle living a life of ghetto-fabulousness in the 'hood' -- a far cry from the high-end lifestyle she lead in the original fairytale version of the story. The [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-pups) parody sees some of the Internet's most well-known video stars parading around and acting out the opening sequence from [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-and-the-beast-castle). Cameos by the Bed Intruder Antoine Dodson, GloZell, Miles Jai and DeStorm, along with a hand full of American Idol alumni, make the song as ridiculous and controversial as one would expect from a remake featuring that cast of characters. While some may view the video as a means to perpetuate stereotypes about those living in suburban American ghettos, the satirical video does take a few clever jabs at material hidden below the surface in the Disney classic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Youtube Parodies:** Opportunity for content creators to reimagine and remix popular stories in unconventional ways. - **Online Celebrity Collaborations:** Potential for well-known internet personalities to collaborate and create viral content together. - **Social Commentary in Entertainment:** Growing interest in using satire and humor to critique societal norms and popular media. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Online Video Platforms:** Video sharing platforms that facilitate the creation and distribution of user-generated content. - **Influencer Marketing:** Companies leveraging the popularity and influence of internet celebrities to promote their products and services. - **Digital Entertainment:** Emerging market for digital content that entertains and engages audiences through online platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beauty Comedy Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comedy-collaboration.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Beauty Crime Mockumentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-criminals.md) - [Animated Pop Revival Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-pups.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Princess-Themed Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Whimsical Castle-Like Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-and-the-beast-castle.md)
