Great Re-Telling
I love to read anything pertaining to Beauty and The Beast, so when this book released, I had to get it immediately. Though there were times that the storyline seemed to get a bit slow, I am happy with the way it progressed, and I am ready for the next book, so bring it!!!

I grew up on the animated version of Beauty and the Beast. I was so excited to see the live version. I wasn’t disappointed, but I wish that Belle would have been someone else. Emma Watson is a great actress, but the singing wasn’t as good as the original. I liked all the other characters and their singing.

Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite Disney movie and this recreation certainly brought it justice. I also appreciated that we got more of a backstory as it answered questions I had from the first film like "Why does no one remember the prince is he was cursed not too long ago". The storytelling, visuals, and music were stunning and it is a must-see!
  
Despite her intension to leave Paris for America, Ophelia Flax finds herself going to the country estate of her soon to be ex-fiancée to join a hunting party. But a broken down coach brings strangers into the mix, and the next morning one of them is dead. The locals are blaming it on the legend of an ancient beast, but Ophelia thinks poison was involved. Can she figure out whose heart is beastly enough to be a killer?

This is such a great book! The author weaves in elements of “Beauty and the Beast” and plays with it as a real legend while presenting a puzzling mystery filled with real characters and viable suspects. Everything kept me guessing until the great climax, and the way this book leaves things, I hope we get more soon.

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Story development
Building upon what already exists
Everything I wanted!
As we have already seen with the likes of Disney's live actin remake of Cinderella etc. Beauty and the Beast recaptures the magic of the animated film we all know and love. However, it achieves greatness by building upon the already familiar story and filling in holes left by its predecessor. The film was fun, enchanting and emotional.

Beauty and the Beast 2020: a Lifetime/Law & Order: SVU/Pornhub production. Had to watch this because the Mrs. had heard it was good. What a waste of 2 hours of my life. The movie is everything we're supposed to hate about male/female relationships these days. And the acting, if you can call it that, makes Lifetime movies look Oscar worthy.

Beauty and the beast live action
Being being a Big lover of Disney I watched this
I thought it was very well done and all the live actors were great
I still prefer the original though for the songs as they changed one or two of them for this film

The original beauty and the beast is my favourite Disney film ever so this was a treat to see it in love action. It didn't disappoint though I couldn't warm to Emma Watson as Belle or the reimagined look of my fav characters like Mrs Potts or lumiere. But Luke Evans was outstanding as Gaston and the back story of Belle's mum was very touching.

Beauty and the beast is a live action adaptation of the 1991 Disney classic of the same name.

Set in the cockney part of France where everyone speaks English, the tale as old as time follows a young village girl who is desperately trying to avoiding marrying the wrong guy and uses this as an excuse to seek her missing father who's been imprisoned by a beast who technically doesn't exist...

A tale about speed dating wth a twist, this is a beautiful story of personal growth & acceptance.
