Sweets & Manaketes

the music is not good, it’s great

production design, costumes (even the freaking yellow dress which is actually quite gorgeous on camera), everything is truly beautiful and quite breathtaking at moments

the acting was surprisingly wonderful. it’s disney, it’ll be cheesy at moments—but for the most part, it was terrific

this is not a childish adaptation

when it gets dark, it gets DARK.

new songs! new character development! 

the cgi is not even that bad. in fact, there are moments when it’s pretty seamless. the practical sets and effects compensated for it, in my mind.

and when it’s wonky? you won’t care because you’ll be too busy smiling

there is some hilarious shit in this movie

the beast’s expressions are actually amazing; you can really see the actor moving beneath them 

T H E    M U S I C

you get to see little kids and adults all freaking out the whole time

SIR IAN MCKELLEN PLAYS A CLOCK AND IS AWESOME AT IT

emma watson will make your heart stop she is so beautiful

sneaky political/ethical gestures that made me cheer

this movie is so pure and we need that right now

and by the end? i just started laughing and crying—in excess joy. i couldn’t believe it. i’ve never been moved by a movie like that in my life.
