Beauty and the Beast are still beautiful

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2007)

As a child I didn't quite liked "Beauty and the Beast", because I though it was a too serious and adult cartoon. But I like this movie now as an grown up. From a child's perspective it is a "girl movie", cause I knew many girls instead of boys who liked this film.
"Beauty and the Beast" is considered like the real Disney classic of all times, who is understandable. Personally I think it's a little bit overrated, but still a beautiful and charming film. No wonder that it got nominated for Best Picture (it's a shame it didn't won).
Like I wrote earlier, this movie it's more darker than you usually expect from Disney because of the subject matter of the story and it makes the movie a little more adult, even it's watchable for the kids. But the youngest audience may be frighten.
Belle is a wonderful Disney heroine. As a kid, I though the secondary characters were pretty annoying, but now I think they're enjoyable (exept Le Fou, Gaston's sidekick and Maurice, Belle's father).
The script is well written. Most of the songs are beautiful and so is the animation.
I must admit that I think the climax scene it's a little bit weaker comparing to other Disney climax scenes, so that's why this movie doesn't get a higher vote from me. Besides that, it's a great Disney masterpiece.
And for instant: Watch the "Human Again" sequence and make you'r own opinion about it.
