Beauty and the Beast || 2017 (@cmp_moviereviews)

It's been rather difficult to get on board with Disney's current trend of live action remakes. While there have been a few memorable ones, I believe that "Beauty and the Beast" will simply be remembered for relying on nostalgia. There is an echo of similarity between the cartoon we all know and love and this adaptation, but there are also moments of elaboration that fill in particular gaps that might have been questioned in the original. Some moments don't chime as well this time around, but overall, this is a remake that is worth seeing due to the filmmakers sensitivity of honoring what has come before. #beautyandthebeast
