Beauty and the Beast

My favorite animated movie of all time. Yes, it is a fairy tale movie from Disney, but that doesn't make it as usual as we might suppose at first. The movie got the first oscar nomination for an animated movie and it was extremelly well delivered.

To start, the future princess is not another blonde with blue eyes searching for it's prince charming. She has ideals, dreams and don't want to be ignorant for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to be another married woman that spents her life taking care of the husband while he provides his family. Belle reads and dreams out loud of how would be to have her own fairy tale story. She doesn't care of how crazy she might seem to the rest of the village. But, even then, she knows how to keep her educated posture towards everyone, no matter what.

The villain is not the monster but the usual hot man showed in every movie we see. And guess what, is a sexist bastard that only wants Belle because she's the only one that he still didn't get. For him, a girl should never read, she can start having ideas... It's rude to everyone, because he thinks it's superior to all and no one ever argued that. He is the true beast in the movie. Has no brains, only muscles and a pretty face. And has the most beautiful girls in town always behind him, envying Belle for being the only one Gastan wants. Maybe they're a little bit shallow, or is it just me?

Finally, the monster it's the prince that truly deserves the love of the girl. He from the beginning has a bad temper. But that changes after some time with the girl of his dreams. He starts showing his caring side as he starts to find what love means. The beast starts to become the prince charming as the movie goes on. And, in the end, is able to make the biggest sacrifice in order to make the girl he loves happy again.

Here, true love comes to the top. Two characters start developing feeling for each other as they start knowing each other. There's no such thing as love at first sight. She starts loving his personality, not his beautiful appearance. And we can see this perfectly when Belle only kiss him after be certain he is the same person she loved before he got rid of his curse.

And I will not talk about the beautiful animation and music placed in the movie...

With this movie we can see that if we are with the right person on our side, we can show our best side.

It is my favourite Disney but there are mistakes such as the characters being cursed for 10 years therefore it means the Prince then was 11 years old. It does not compute as the torn portrait in his bedroom shows an adult and the 10 year curse is supposed to end at his 21st .birthday .

I absolutely adore this film , one of my all-time favourites. The animation is breathtakingly beautiful, Belle as a character is entirely relatable, she is the first "princess" who is genuinely intelligent and admires reading. She is a role model to all young girls.

This is one of my favorite (Disney) movies ever :) I grew up with Beauty and the beast and I still watch it. There is just something about this story that captures me and I love the whole "for beauty is found within" moral. And I connect with Belle, because I'm a bit like her - passionate reader :D Disney movies are the best.

Disney's masterpiece. There are some films of theirs that I certainly like more, to be sure, but placing everything aside and taking their catalogue for what it is and what they managed to do with this, I don't think anything compares. Beauty and the Beast is the company at its best in terms of animation, writing, voice acting, and more, with one of the best soundtracks of any film I've watched. I feel any animation fan owes it to themselves to watch this at least once.

I really love classic Disney movies.
I am rewatching all classic ones. Started with this.

So, Sweet and fill with some good humor. Loved it

“For who could ever learn to love a beast?”

one of Disney’s best im afraid

Such a wonderful film. One of my favourite Disney movies. I love the story and the songs even if now I do find it a bit unrealistic. I mean, a Beast? :D But yay for redemption and for love that isn't at first sight, for loving what a person is and becomes despite the appearance.
