What is the candle in Beauty and the Beast named?

Lumière is French for "light" and the name of the candle. To read more about the visual and other symbolism of the Jean Cocteau film La Belle et La Bete (Beauty and the Beast), go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast_%281946_film%29 The goofball Disney version, despite having been nominated for an Academy Award, is simply foolish and worth skipping, if one can possibly avoid it. The 1946 Cocteau film is a masterpiece of surrealism and fantasy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know the correct spelling but it is pronounced Lou-Me-Air. Haha sorry I don't have the correct spelling but at least you know his name now lol!
