Beautiful and Mesmerising

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2017)

As a child, I absolutely adored the original version of this movie and was very excited to see this at the cinema when I heard that it was going to be coming out. It was my favorite growing up and because of this, I was a little nervous as to whether or not it was going to be done in the right way. I was not disappointed.
Emma Watson was stunning as Belle, and I can't imagine any other actress nailing the role as she did. So many memories were brought back whilst watching her at the beginning of the film with that classic blue dress she wore around the village! I was transported back into my childhood with her and thoroughly enjoyed watching her on screen. In particular, I thought that the actor that played Gaston was also excellent.
The story-line stays faithful to the original with a few good surprises! As a whole, it was done so beautifully, I really just cannot praise it enough. The costumes, the singing, the choice of cast, the animation of the castle's furniture - perfect.
If you loved the original, please ignore the negative comments/reviews you have read here and just go and see it for yourself! It is truly an amazing experience and like I said above, especially if you were a big fan as a child - you will enjoy it just as much now.
