From what we can see from the trailer, the set design and production values of this film are through the roof, with beautiful CGI and strong visuals. The eclectic cast of characters is aided by its musical structure, which tells a beloved tale known across the world. While Beauty and the Beast is a family-friendly film, we still see a darker nature to the story- with the Beast's struggle coming through, painted in a starkly bleak way in the trailer attached above. Here's our Beauty and the Beast review roundup!
"Its classicism feels unforced and fresh. Its romance neither winks nor panders. It looks good, moves gracefully and leaves a clean and invigorating aftertaste. I almost didn’t recognize the flavor: I think the name for it is joy." - The New York Times
"This is finely tuned entertainment that should satisfy all quarters of the audience. There’s enough darkness to give it a bit of edge, but plenty of laughs for levity, and also moments sure to elicit tears." - Total Film"There’s no need to worry that this version might crush the gentle charms of the 1991 picture: Even though Condon more or less faithfully follows that movie’s plot, this Beauty is its own resplendent creature." - TIME"It's the music that makes it particularly special, and appreciating that is entirely the point of the live-action remake" - The Telegraph"Here’s some Disney magic for you: The new Beauty and the Beast actually improves upon the animated classic." - USA TodayFor more on the latest Films, check us out on Twitter!
