In the "Be Our Guest" number, when Lumière says "after all, this is France!" he drops a cleaver, cutting a baguette in half. This is referencing the official execution method used in France from 1792 until 1981, which was the guillotine. La bella e la bestia (1991) had the dishes and spoons form an Eiffel tower instead, which was built in 1889. As this movie is set well before 1792, both visual flourishes are humorous anachronisms.
