Cogsworth: Difference between revisions

'''Cogsworth''' is a character first physically seen in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', that returns in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. He originates from Disney's ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and The Beast}}''. He is actually a servant of the [[Beast]] who was enchanted by a spell along with all the other inhabitants of the castle.  

Both Lumière and Cogsworth serve as watch guards of Beast's Castle, forcing [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] to evade their sight.

On the first visit to [[Beast's Castle]], [[Belle]] tells Sora to rescue Cogsworth and company from the castle dungeon. Upon doing so, he tells Sora about the Beast's curse and how they were imprisoned by the Beast. Then he and the others show Sora a secret passageway to the West Wing and the Beast's room - Cogsworth's job is to lower the lamps for Sora and company to light them. Cogsworth also moves the knights blocking the entrances to help movement for Sora and the others. When Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] fight the Beast to turn him back to normal, Cogsworth assists by making loud noises to wake the Beast up, with help from Sora's Keyblade.  

Cogsworth is originally from the film ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast}}''. In the film, Cogsworth and the other castle's residents were turned into household objects (in Cogsworth's case, a mantel clock) by an enchantress as punishment for Prince Adam's cold heart. Many years later, Belle's father, Maurice, stumbles in the castle to escape wild wolves and while Lumière and the other servants warmly welcomes him, Cogsworth vehemently opposed the idea of allowing a stranger into the castle due to their master's rules. However, the prince (now known as the Beast) discovers this and locks Maurice away in the dungeon while Cogsworth and the others sadly watch. When Belle comes to the castle in search for her father, Cogsworth and Lumière was bickering over the event when they saw her come in. Belle exchanged herself as Beast's prisoner and later refuses to dine with him, but later journeys into the dining room where Cogsworth participates (unwillingly) in Lumière's performance to entertain her.

Later, Cogsworth and Lumière provide Belle with a tour of the castle, warning her that she is free to go anywhere but the West Wing. Throughout the rest of the film, Cogsworth and the other servants observe Beast and Belle's budding romance, giving them hope that the curse will be broken and they will revert into humans. However, Beast releases Belle so she could go care for her sick father and Cogsworth was the first to hear of the news. He informs of the others, and became quite exasperated of the idea of Belle being the one to break the curse. When Gaston (the film's antagonist) storms the castle with angry villagers, Cogsworth and the others defend it. Once Beast and Belle confess their love for each other, the curse was broken and Lumière and the castle's residents transform back into humans. At the ball that was being held to celebrate, Cogsworth and Lumière got into another argument about who foretold the fact that Belle would break to spell first, which quickly escalates into a brawl.
