Let me start out with a disclaimer that this is my favorite Disney movie.
To the point though: I've always thought the human version of the Beast (Prince Adam if you will) was a little funny looking. Something about the proportions of his eyebrows, nose, and chin. While I love the Beast's transformation, I feel his face looks a little sloppy animation-wise. Does anyone else agree or know what I'm talking about?
There is something static about his face, yes. Especially right after his transformation. His face wasn't very memorable looking, and it's not just because it was preceded by the Beast's appearance for the entire movie beforehand. I mean, it's been TWENTY FIVE years since the movie, so we've all had that much time to get used to his face, essentially—and it still strikes me as strange.
On the flip side, I'm not complaining or saying he had to be better-looking. I like quirky-looking guys. And I think he looked great at some angles—like the straight-on shot from Belle's POV when she's looking in to his eyes to detect the Beast underneath. And the next scene where we see Adam and Belle dance in profile, closeup—he looks very handsome there.
But yeah, I think in layman's terms—he just didn't have that conventionally appealing look as say, Prince Eric or Prince Phillip, you know? (The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty, respectively).
In all fairness, the reason his human form looked a bit... well, odd, is because they focused too much on developing his beast form, so when it came time to develop his human form, the animators just didn't care anymore. Still, at least Adam's human form didn't look like, say, Jean-Paul Sartre.
In any case, I think the one enchanted character who had the most ill-fitting human form, more than even Adam, was the featherduster largely due to just how completely unlike her enchanted form her human form looked. Adam's beast form not looking like his human form at least was justified by the fact that he needed to look unlike his human form so Belle would not immediately recognize him when he did have the curse be reverted from him. The featherduster didn't really have any reason to NOT have even a passing resemblance to her enchanted form while human. Her human form looked like they just took Vanessa from The Little Mermaid's base model, gave her a haircut, and then added a slightly larger bust, and she lacks a mole. Oh, and also, the featherduster's mouth was quite different (she had very small pouty lips as a human, whereas with her... well, featherduster form, her mouth looked more similar to Kefka Palazzo's mouth in Dissidia: Final Fantasy (Best seen here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XyHFoYUdx18/TwL7cnaydiI/AAAAAAAAAF0/0Udmvqqqn1o/s1600/kefkafaceshot.png)). The other servants at least had some bits about them besides wardrobe that would have us readily identify their human forms, she really didn't. What's even worse is that there was a concept art of her human form that DID have enough similarities to her enchanted form to be easily identifiable yet they didn't use it. http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/3/3a/Fifi_Concept_Art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150327183345 Granted, the featherduster does look very beautiful in her human form, obviously rivaling Belle's beauty (and unlike the triplets, her not initially appearing to be as beautiful as if not more beautiful as Belle was at least justified).
His face is kind of rough-looking, but it seems to me they did this on purpose so the prince would still look somewhat like the Beast in order to avoid alienating the audience.
