I Think I'm Obsessed With This Movie...

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2017)

To start off, I absolutely loved the original 1991 film and admired Belle as a character ever since I was a young child. But the original did have multiple plot holes such as the age of Prince Adam when the enchantress put the curse on him and his servants. But in this remake this plot hole is fixed by showing the Prince as an adult when the enchantress showed up at his palace and by changing the lyrics in "Be our guest" from "ten years we've been rusting" to "to long we've been rusting." Not to mention the fact that the last rose petal was set to fall on the prince's 21st birthday in the 1991 film. This was changed by simply not giving the final rose petal a known due date.
I also believe that Emma Watson made a good Belle because she is the closest thing to a human Belle. She did the role well and didn't seem out of character at any time. Even though she didn't really sound all that close to the animated Belle in her singing parts it's not necessarily a big deal. The rest of the casting in this movie was great as well and the props and sets in the film were grand and magical as well. My favorite performance in this movie was probably Josh Gad as Lefou, he truly brought his character to life and the Gaston song in the bar was just so amazing to watch! It was definitely a magical film for me.
So in conclusion, I honestly can't wait till this movie gets on DVD and blu-ray because I will continue to watch it over and over and over again. I highly recommend it to Disney fans, non Disney fans and people who just want to watch a charming movie.
Thank you for reading my review!
