It's a beauty of a movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 February 2020)

This movie is also part of the Disney Renaissance along with the likes of Aladdin, Hercules and The Lion King. Beauty and the Beast is an interesting Disney movie with a good story. I wouldn't say it was as good as some of the movies mentioned above, but it was still a good Disney movie. I liked the characters introduced in this movie such as Belle, Gaston and the Beast. They were all wonderful characters. Gaston was a good villain particularly. He's tall, strong and powerful. He does not get as much attention as some of the other Disney villains such as Scar and Jafar among the Disney fans. Not that I care because I simply don't. I'm glad he's not as popular as the Disney villains mentioned above. These Disney villains (Scar and Jafar) are absolute legends. There are so many Disney villains, but the likes of Scar and Jafar happen to be iconic ones. A favourite for many. Gaston, however, sort of reminds me of Governor Ratcliffe from Pocahontas except only bigger. Both are driven by greed and power. I never wanted him to be with Belle, and I'm glad that wasn't the case. Beauty and the Beast is my least favourite Disney movie; Aladdin and Hercules are my most favourite Disney movies. That doesn't mean to say Beauty and the Beast was poor because it wasn't. It's just that everyone has their likes and dislikes and that's perfectly okay. I'm surprised how soon it was released: it was released in 1991. Only two movies that are part of the Disney Renaissance came before it - The Little Mermaid and The Rescuers Down Under. Both fantastic movies. I say that because there were so many Disney movies which came out during that time. Some of them I have already mentioned above. Some of the other Disney movies (Tarzan and Hercules) were released a lot later, so that's interesting. I say interesting because there was also a sequel to Beauty and the Beast released some time later. It's still a good movie - Beauty and the Beast.
