I’ve never really been too excited about the live action Disney movies. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Disney movies but I guess I’m a old school kind of girl, loving the animated cartoons from my childhood. But I knew that when my all time favorite og them all, Beauty and the Beast, would become live action as well, I knew I had to see it at the movie theatre. Expectations going in: high.
Expectations after: succeded!
I had tears in my eyes most of the time, either because it was beautiful, funny or sad. A true rollercoaster og emotions for me personally. Sure, it was different in several ways but a lot of it for the better, especially the insights to Belle’s and the Beast’s separate backstories, giving answers you always wanted.
I also noticed they didn’t sing “Ten years we’ve been rusting” in Be Our Guest but changed it so it didn’t specify a time. I can’t remember the exact words, but it doesn’t make the Beast’s age a problem as the prologue doesn’t mention his 21th birthday either. And the spell making everyone they cared about from outside the castle forget about them. Details like that I’m very pleased with. My heart grew several sizes, making all the feelings that much stronger.
I’m just glad it didn’t ruin anything for me, and I really want to see it again soon!!
