Many pros, 1 con

Rating: 10/10 (26 September 2012)

Beauty and the Beast is arguably one of Disney's best movies. It's like one of the first animated movies to be nominated for best picture (The Jungle Book was supposed to be the first animated movie nominated for that award, but many disagree b/c it's a children's movie and all that & the lion king should've been nominated too). It should have won in my opinion, but I'll save that for another time.
This movie has so many wonderful things that make it fantastic. The songs are memorable, I recently watched it and I know every song by heart (except human again). The songs are amazing and romantic and funny. I can't stop listening to Belle (the song) and Be Our Guest! Belle is one of Disney's best heroines (the others being Esmeralda from HOND and Pocahontas). She can read!!!! I've looked up to her so much when I was younger and I love that she saw the beast as a kind man; even though the beast acted like a jerk for half the movie. She's kind, clever, and she can read! I found many wonderful things about this movie like the sidekicks, the animation, the message, etc. Now lets talk about Gaston!
Gaston is probably one of the worst Disney villains ever! He's not Scar or Ursula who are actually evil! Gaston is a selfish jerk who just wants a lady. He didn't do anything evil except for the mob scene. But as humans, we tend to want something that we can't have (ie: having Josh Hutcherson as my boyfriend). If you want to see a human like villain actually do something, go watch Cinderella or The Rescuers.
Otherwise, this movie is fantastic! It has wonderful songs, a fierce leading lady, a wonderful romance between belle and the beast, and LumiÃ¨re which is one of my favorite characters. Please watch this classic
