History and design

 * It is more accurate to say the title song is performed by Angela Lansbury, who voices Mrs. Potts, than that it is performed by the fictional character
 * Thank you, but I have to disagree. In the context of the scene the paragraph is describing, the character Mrs. Potts is performing the song, not Angela Lansbury.--Changedforbetter (talk) 04:40, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for the delay; I have been busy with the holidays. Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. —  Ghost River  22:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to get a status update on this. On December 9, you said it would take about two weeks, and it's been a little over three. Happy to hold this open for longer with more communication, just let me know. —  Ghost River  16:55, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi GhostRiver and Happy New Year! Thank you so much for following up. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to come back to working on this review; unfortunately, I've recently lost access to my home/main computer shortly after I requested that this be put on pause, which has basically put a stop to my Wikipedia editing entirely for the time being. However, I am expected to have a new computer before the end of this month. If you are at all able to extend the hold until the end of the month, I would greatly appreciate it; please let me know.--Changedforbetter (talk) 03:07, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * GhostRiver Hello, thank you for your patience; pleased to say that I've finally addressed all of your comments and made changes accordingly. Awaiting final verdict, at your earliest convince. --Changedforbetter (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Now I believe is the time to apologize for my tardiness, as this dropped off my radar. Excellent work, passing now! —  Ghost River  00:17, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
