Beauty and the Beast (Film Review)

There was no way a live-action Beauty and the Beast remake would best its animated counterpart.  Disney’s 1991 adaptation is a classic among classics: a great film with stunning animation, wonderful pacing, lovable characters, fantastic music, and an all-around beautiful interpretation of the original fairy tale handled with affectionate care.  It would have been some kind of miracle for the remake to surpass one of Disney’s greatest films—and sure enough, the 2017 version does not, as a whole, live up to its predecessor…though not without giving a very remarkable try.  When seeing the film, I went in not to see if the remake would outclass its predecessor, but rather what elements it improved upon, aka; “What aspects does the live-action remake possess that makes it occasionally worth watching over the animated version?”
