Disappointed.

Rating: 3/10 (29 March 2017)

Beauty and the Beast is by far one of my most favourite movies. The story it portrays, the music and magic and morals knowing that love heals all, unfortunately, I only saw and felt all that from the animated version and not this one. This movie lacked the good old "warm and fuzzy" feeling you get from Disney's animated movies, it lacked "heart." It just seemed a little emotionless and forced, some bits even seem rushed, other parts had nothing to do with the original at all. I was looking forward to see how Beast would be as a "realistic" version but they didn't capture Beast's imagery or personality at all and I feel the same way about Emma Watson playing "Belle" I like Emma Watson, she is a great actress but she is no "Belle." I wanted to like this movie and I was hoping for the same satisfaction as I got from the animation, but I couldn't. I have been a Disney fan all my life but I think Disney should have left this one alone, sorry but the animation was better.
