Not a beauty nor a beast, but presentable Disney offering

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2017)

OK why make another Beauty & The Beast?
I thought the older cartoon was pretty good and there are other film versions. The reason for this remake of course, is to make more money from a sure bet.
With real actors, I thought maybe, it could have been made more appealing to adults.
It does play safe to the beloved fairytale and to politically correct doctrine, include everybody, offend nobody.
There is nothing bad about this film as such. They certainly did not botch their version of a classic story.
Minor criticisms (I am just knitpicking here)
Emma Watson was unremarkable as Belle.
I found the bursting into song every 5 minutes a little wearisome, and I know this is heresy, but a little more popular music.
Maurice (Belles father) was sliding off a snowy rocky outcrop about to be eaten by wolves then suddenly he's on his horse galloping away.
All in all, it is, what it says on the tin.
"Beauty & The Beast By Disney"
I doubt it will be a 'classic' I had a nagging feeling it just 'missed the boat' for it.
