Gaston first appears as the main antagonist of Walt Disney's Academy Award-winning film, {{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|''Beauty and the Beast''}}, voiced by Richard White. A popular and arrogant hunter, he has an intense crush on Belle and seeks to win her affection through various schemes. On one such occasion, he attempts to propose to her, complete with a faux-wedding arrangement, but she kicks him out of her father's house. He sulks in the village tavern, but when Maurice arrives and rants about Belle's capture courtesy of the Beast, Gaston makes another plan to "win" Belle.

Gaston meets with Monsieur D'Arque, the owner of a local madhouse known as the Maison des Lunes, to declare Maurice insane and have him thrown into the madhouse unless Belle agrees to marry him. Belle returns and is forced reveal the Beast to the village. Realizing that Belle has fallen in love with the Beast, the jealous Gaston rallies the villagers to storm the castle and slay the Beast. Upon arrival, Gaston's mob is ambushed by the Beast's servants but Gaston himself escapes the battle and engages the Beast on the rooftops. Gaston initially gains the upper hand, but when the Beast threatens him over the roof, Gaston pleads for forgiveness and the Beast spares his life. However, Gaston stabs the Beast from behind when the latter is distracted by Belle, but loses his footing and falls from the balcony to his death.

==Trivia==
*Despite Gaston's role in ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' being intended as a projection of future events, Gaston does not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' or ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. While ''Kingdom Hearts II'' was in early development, Gaston was originally slated to appear in Beast's Castle, playing out a similar role to the original film and serving as a boss for [[Sora]],{{fact}} but his place in the story was eventually given to [[Xaldin]] of [[Organization XIII]], making Beast's Castle the first and only world in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series that did not feature its corresponding film's antagonist in its debut appearance.
