NOTE: This is about the original counterpart, for the 2017 counterpart click here.

Gaston LeGume is the main antagonist of the 1991 Disney animated film, Beauty and the Beast. He is a treacherous, chauvinistic, egotistical, deceptive, and conceited hunter from Belle's village who plans to marry Belle by any means necessary as well as Belle, and the Beast's arch-nemesis.

He is voiced by Richard White.

Why is he Rejected?

 * He doesn't do anything beyond standard evil.
 * He is too comedic to qualify and while he does get darker in the third act it does not negate his previous comedic moments.
 * It is possible he loved belle to a degree as he refused to be with anyone else

Trivia

 * Both Gaston's original counterpart, and 2017 counterpart got rejected for Pure Evil.
