Neither the animation or the live-action Disney film, have the Beast portrayed as a particularly monstrous individual. He appears as a well-groomed non-human individual. Not as a monster.
And the whole Beauty & the Beast tale is a bit creepy - the original versions were aimed at preparing young women for arranged marriages, while the Disney versions have Beauty agreeing to be the Beast's companion under duress, to save her father. And a bunch of other weird acts occurring under duress.
A relationship born out of duress and violent/dangerous situations is hardly ideal.
Oh, absolutely, it's fucked up. But it is an example of a story where the man is not unambiguously a villain in the Disney version and is also ugly.
Hunchback, the Disney version. The entire point of the movie was who was the monster and who was the man.
