It's my favorite fairy tale and I love the Disney interpretation of the story. I thought the live-action version was wonderful, although I agree with you that the auto-tune on Emma Watson was distracting. Other than that, I loved it.

I also loved how I was able to fangirl about a princess movie like a little girl again XD. And I was not the only one. The day I went to see the movie, there wasn’t a single kid in the session. All of us were just adult Disney lovers, which I thought was pretty cool ^^ <br /><br />And I looooved Be Our Guest!

BatB was never one of my favorite Disney movies either, but that sounds awesome that they fixed some of the little problems and that there were was feminism and the lgbt character and all that.

But you're totally right, some of that LGBTQ+ stuff got thrown in hastily. My take on it as that Disney is owned by some pretty conservative corporations/groups, so they most likely wouldn't be blatant about it. We get a few hints of LeFou's sexuality and suddenly some parents are blowing it out of proportion! I say f that - this progress is good and encompassing. I like it. <br /><br />Totally agreed with your thoughts on the singing. Acting was great, sure, but the autotune WAS SO EASILY HEARD lol. Nevertheless, the plot holes they filled in were pretty great additions to the storyline, and the whole movie was just beautiful!<br /><br />- Aila @ <a href="happyindulgencebooks.com" rel="nofollow">Happy Indulgence</a>Aila https://www.blogger.com/profile/18006135801041122020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-71028994794789931482017-04-17T08:10:22.763+02:002017-04-17T08:10:22.763+02:00The cinematography was incredibly well done.

But as I don't know the original movie too well, I couldn't tell you what were the added songs from otherwise. I think that helps. I couldn't remember the scene in Paris being in the original - I could be mistaken - but that aspect was a good one for the relationship for me. Yeah... Watson suits the image but the singing bothered me a lot. Ahaha, I am glad you had the Spanish version for that reason. Also, I haven't seen her act in anything else but the first two HP movies, when she is a child. So maybe that's why I didn't mind her acting style so much ;)Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-9221902617279023032017-04-17T08:03:26.614+02:002017-04-17T08:03:26.614+02:00I know right?

The movie was good overall, but the songs did not give the same magical feelings as the original did. The other thing I did not like is the fact that they left out key lines from the original movie such as "Off to the cupboard now Chip, it's past your bedtime" and "Take whatever booty you can find, but remember the beast is mine." <br />Excellent review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-21937753856247319602017-04-17T00:26:24.009+02:002017-04-17T00:26:24.009+02:00I am on the fence about going to the movies to see...I am on the fence about going to the movies to see it.

I do see where you're coming from with the music though. While I loved all of the songs (especially the new ones like Evermore), I was slightly disappointed that they didn't do it Les Mis style and sing while acting. I know that's a particularly difficult thing to do, but you're right, you could absolutely tell that the characters were mouthing along and the songs sounded a little too perfect (like the absence of breathlessness as Belle is prancing around everywhere in the town song, etc etc). I still listen to the soundtrack on repeat though :) Lovely review, Olivia!<br /><br />Laura @BlueEyeBooksLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-44231122461351713912017-04-16T12:07:32.820+02:002017-04-16T12:07:32.820+02:00I found this awesome - I love that they kept the o...I found this awesome - I love that they kept the original songs :)<br /><br />While it was great to have an LGBTQ+ character (IN A DISNEY FILM!!!!
