Beauty and the Beast Review

Beauty and the Beast

Review

So this year marks the 30th anniversary of Beauty and the Beast. One of Disney's best films and the first animated film to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars. This film is part of my childhood and I watched it a lot when I was a kid and we all know the songs Be Our Guest, Gaston, and Tale as Old as Time.   
The voice cast all do an amazing job and I've met Belle and the Beast at Fan Expo. Robby and Paige are very nice people. 

This scene from the film is now a meme.

This movie's animation is fantastic and the designs are amazing too. The characters in the film are amazing like Gaston is the villain of the film who likes he would be the hero but no. Belle and the Beast are great characters and the romance between the two is really good. As well who doesn't love Lumiere, Cogsworth, Ms. Potts, and Chip are all such great characters in the film. 

Nowadays most people wished he stayed a Beast.

It's a real thing look it up a majority of fans feel that way.

The story itself is really good too as the film teaches people about inner beauty that's more important than what's on the outside. We all know the story the Beast has to find someone who loves him and he has to earn her love in return before the last rose peddles falls or he will remain a beast forever and his subjects would remain as objects. 

We have of course Belle is a big book who loves to read and she's not looking for a prince. She wants adventure like we all do and of course, Gaston wants to be with her but she's not interested in him but we all know how that turns out. Belle is to be my favorite Disney Princess out of all of them.

Lumiere and Cogsworth were a great duo they were like the odd couple.

Jerry Orbach and David Ogden Stiers were amazing actors and it's sad they are no longer with us.

The film is such a timeless classic and it's a great film to watch. I know some people nowadays have said this film has Stockholm syndrome elements because Belle falls in love with her kidnapper.  Robby Benson and Paige O'Hara addressed that once at Fan Expo. I don't think there was any, to be honest, but if you disagree that's fine.  

Also the film's villain Gaston is a great villain he is one of my favorite Disney villains and his song gets stuck in your head. Gaston looks like he would be the hero of the film but he's not which is very clever of this film. 

As well the musical numbers like I mentioned before are great my favorite is Be Our Guest it's a fun song to listen to. That musical number to me was one of the best scenes in the film. 

The climax between The Beast and Gaston that fight was really good. The suspense in the fight was really good and the moment when Gaston shouts "It's over Beast! Belle is mine!" Beast goes full rage mode and he's about to kill him but he stops because he can't bring himself to do it despite what Gaston's done. It shows really good development for the Beast.      

So that's my review of Beauty and the Beast does it still hold up yes, despite some little problems but hey it's better than that live-action crap we got. 

This film is still classic from childhood we all grew up with it and it will be shown to future generations. 

I give this film an 8 out of 10.
