in the 2017 live-action remake, maurice is played by kevin kline. he remains as an inventor, but makes music boxes to help belle see the world from the comfort of home in the village of villeneuve. he fled paris and settled in the provinces with belle when she was still a baby to protect the both of them from a plague that took the life of belle's mother and maurice's wife. true to the original story, maurice is imprisoned by the beast for taking a rose from his garden instead of being caught trespassing in the castle. maurice returns to villeneuve to find help, but only gaston and lefou are willing to do so. however, gaston only wanted to help in order to get maurice's blessing for his marriage to belle. knowing that belle has no interest in marrying gaston, maurice refuses her hand, prompting gaston to leave him to die at the hands of the wolves. the enchantress, disguised as a villager named agathe, rescues him and takes him back to villeneuve. upon his return, maurice attempts to have gaston arrested for attempted murder, but gaston in turn declares him insane and has him committed to an insane asylum. belle arrives back in time to vindicate maurice, but both are locked in the asylum wagon while the whole village goes to kill the beast. after maurice and belle make amends regarding belle now understanding why maurice was so overly protective of her, thanks to the beast, maurice uses his inventor skills to pick the lock on the wagon, allowing belle to take phillipe back to the beast's castle while maurice remains behind with the dumbfounded monsieur d'arque. at the end of the movie, maurice is seen painting the ballroom dance as everyone celebrates.

the play finally begins with narrator charles brickens reading the opening lines, and after a momentary bout of stage fright, fred enters. the play proceeds as normal. as the second act opens, wilma and betty discover that garnet, the woman playing the ghost of christmas past, has contracted the "bedrock bug," a flu-like illness. as stage manager, wilma is left to play the part herself. during the next scene, at fezziwig's christmas party, betty informs wilma that maggie has come down with the bedrock bug as well; wilma dons her costume and plays belle. the third act begins with the hooded figure of the ghost of christmas yet to come appearing before scrooge; he shows the elderly man an abandoned gravestone marked with the words "ebonezer scrooge." the scene shifts to scrooge's bedchamber—he is alive, and he discovers that it is christmas morning. he recruits a passing boy (played by the same child who fred entrusted with his presents) to purchase a prize "turkeysaurus" and have it sent to the cragits for a feast. scrooge prepares to go out and explore the city on christmas morning; along the way, he meets wilma, who has taken on the role of one of the members of the piltdown charitable foundation, as the original actor has caught the bedrock bug. fred acts as if the woman is belle (much to narrator brickens's frustration, as the ad-libbing is not in his script), and begs for both her and wilma's forgiveness, admitting his recent selfishness and promising that he has changed his attitudes. wilma reluctantly plays along.
