Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast is definitely the show to go and see!
There's no doubt that Beauty and the Beast is a Disney classic. The live action movie that was released on March, 17 was just as great, if not better than the original cartoon and here is why:
1. Emma Watson is the perfect Belle.
I don't know about you, but I thought Emma Watson nailed the role of Belle. She was graceful and beautiful as ever, it's no question that her character's name means beauty.
2. The music.
In addition to the amazing remakes of the classic songs, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice did a wonderful job at composing brand new songs to add to the movie. One of my personal favorites is the Beast's solo, Evermore.
3. Cinematography
Disney really outdid themselves with this one. If there was ever such a thing as Disney magic, it truly showed in this movie. The cinematography definitely enhanced the magic of the original cartoon and made it real to viewers.
4. CGI
All I need to say about the CGI is the following: Be Our Guest.
5. Added storyline
Now I don't want to ruin the movie, so all I'll say is this: there's a lot more to the plotline in the live action movie than there was in the original Disney cartoon. Personally, I thought that the additions made for a great movie, almost better than the original.
Essentially everything about this movie was beautiful. I laughed and cried and enjoyed every second of it. I would definitely recommend that you see Beauty and the Beast in theaters as soon as possible!
