Tale as Old as Time

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2017)

La Belle et la Bete – in English, and in our time, translates to Beauty and the Beast – started as a traditional French fairy tale, then in 1991, the imaginary mind of Walt Disney transformed the classic fairy tale into a full length animated movie and now 26 years later that old French fairy tale is now a live action film telling that old tale in a new time. From the cast of the beautiful Emma Watson (Harry Potter Series) to the gorgeously talented Audra McDonald to the ever-witty Josh Gad and then there was Gaston (Luke Evans). The characters have lived on in the hearts of believers for almost 277 years since that little French fairy tale came into existence. This new and innovative way of telling an old story in a new and inventive time has lived on over the centuries and decades. I know that, without a shadow of a doubt, that this old but classic love story will forever be in the hearts and the minds of the believers, it's not an old tale any more, it's a new way of believing in the impossible, it's about believing in the heart.
