Reliving a childhood classic film

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2017)

My first thought of a real life film Beauty and the Beast I thought disaster was gonna brew. I have been disappointed before with remakes especially to Disney classics. And hearing that Emma Watson was gonna play the lead I was like "No, no! Please no" She's Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and nothing more. So it was pretty intense to see the social media talk about it and hear their own opinions. But when the first photo came out for Emma as "Belle" I was blown away and my thoughts changed to hopefulness. As time came to see the trailers I braced myself yet again. "Would they stay true to the Disney classic or totally take it on a opposite roller coaster?" When it came out I was totally moved and in tears of joy. They did everything as they possibly could to make it real, and true to the Disney version. Little changes happened yes, like one or two songs, but they were all beautifully done and made for great reasons. All casting was beautifully done, music was perfect and it left me feeling like a child again.
I think that is what is so important. When we love something we grow up with all we want is to relive those days and moments, to feel inspired and hopeful. To me that is what Beauty and The Beast did for me and I wouldn't change anything. Animated or not it still brought that magic in me once again. All I can say now is please bring more like this onto the screen!
