15 differences between the animated and live-action versions

But Beauty and the Beast remains safe and secure within its Disney-defined dimensions; its infantile proclamations about a gay character and mixed race couples even further underlining what goes for risk-taking in that world.

If you’re a Beauty and the Beast purist though, Thompson’s contribution may have been tainted a little after Lansbury revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in November 2016 that she wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of a remake.

How did they bring Beast to life? So the question we propose on Beauty and the Beast day is this – which collection is the best? “In this version of the story, we’re allowed to better understand him with songs like “Days in the Sun”, which also reveals how much he and Belle have in common”. “But there’s a willingness now to be like, ‘Fine, call me a diva, call me a feminazi, call me hard, call me a First World Feminist, call me whatever you want.’ It’s not going to stop me from trying to do the right thing”. Can you make just a little change, small to say the least?

The Disney movie Beauty and the Beast has raised concerns since the original animated version of the film in the 1990’s. Maurice, Belle’s father, gets more screen time in the remake and Kevin Kline’s portrayal earns it as he makes you want to learn more about his past. WYMT went ahead and said that the director of the film said the flick would have “Disney’s first gay scene”, but that got blown completely out of proportion. Let us know what you thought! “For some more movie fun, ask me to tell you something about Belle“.

Gaston, the air-head bad guy played by Luke Evans, is a non-thinking narcissist, and his sidekick, LeFou, played by Josh Gad, is more silly than controversial.

“I hope that people come to see the film and judge for themselves”, says singer-actress Audra McDonald, 46, the six-time Tony Award-winner who plays the anthropomorphic wardrobe, here named Garderobe.

“For the first time, SM Cinema holds an advance screening of Disney movie in Davao City.and we are looking forward to more partnership with (the studio) in the future”, said Aron Dalaza, SM City Davao and SM Lanang Premier Group Marketing manager.
