All I will say is that it’s kind of sad that a movie from 1946 can tell this story more proficiently than a billion dollar studio who owns Marvel.

There is much beauty to be seen in this stunning fairy tale adaptation. I loved everything about the Beast and his castle. Very creative imagery. The story and Beast/Belle relationship doesn't offer much outside the routine. Serviceable, with other aspects worth admiring. Easy watch.

A different take on the fairytale than the famous Disney animated classic, but still just as magical. This is a visual masterpiece that is full of both charm and beauty.
