Support this week's charity - www.2secondsorless.org/
Beauty and the Beast is a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon from a screenplay written by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos, and co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films. The film is based on Disney's 1991 animated film of the same name, itself an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's eighteenth-century fairy tale.

Emma Watson has been acting her whole life but she's also been playing the same character her whole life.
James Owens
SHOTS FIRED!!!
SHOTS FIRED!!!
I said the same thing a few months ago when I saw the trailers.
She acts the same way, she's mainly acts as the same character just with a different name.
That wasn't Belle, that was "Emma Watson and the poorly designed CGI Beast".
The funny and ironic thing is that Emma Watson's performance in the Sorcerer Stone was better than here.
ΕΛΕΝΗ ΧΑΡΑΛΑΜΠΙΔΟΥ back then we didn't know that that was the only way that she could act.
THATS SOME HOT TEA
Whenever I saw “Belle” on screen I never really saw Belle, I just saw Emma Watson. her character never invested me enough to believe that she IS Belle and don’t even get me started on her auto tuned voice...
I said this exact thing. She's not Belle.
She's Emma Watson attempting (and failing) to play Belle.
At least you saw Watson.
Everything weird in the movie, I was basically thinking; "You grew up in a wizarding castle."
rusted skarmory same, I saw Hermione trying to play Belle, at least I can give Hermione “well, she’s not an actress”, can’t give the same consideration to Emma Watson...
emma is pretty but she doesnt look like or feel like belle. its ok that she didnt look like belle, but she never really acted like her either and it just looked like she was friends with the beast and but didnt love him.
@@saklee1777 Emma has the girl-next-door look, she's not really ugly, but nowhere close to pretty. In contrast, Belle in the original Disney movie is supposed to be stunningly beautiful and elegant. I'm not even gonna comment on her acting or singing. Also, you can easily find much more professional looking dresses on Etsy than the mustardy yellowish mess of a dress appearing in this multimillion dollar flick. The fact is, I daily pass by DOZENS of absolutely gorgeous women who'd be much more fit for the role of real-life Belle, and some of them are bound to also be better singers, and if self-employed seamstresses on Etsy can easily sew a better dress than a crew of movie wardrobe specialists, you know you screwed up royally.
Something that’ll make you hate it more?
Beast doesn’t even get his own “I love her” line.
Yeah.
Towards the climax, when Cogsworth asks why the Beast let Belle go, in the original, Beast says, “Because...I love her.” It’s the first time it’s ever said aloud. It shows the audience that he is well aware of his actions, and its consequences.
The remake gives Mrs. Potts the opportunity to tell the Beast (and everyone else) how he feels about her, robbing his character of what should be the culmination of his arc. It’s his deal, Mrs. Potts. Nobody asked you.
@Some random person No but its twice as powerful and meaningful coming from a person who has a history with being too arrogant to say anything that could be remotely kind and loving, it shows he came a long way just to be able to say something of the kind with such an ease, that's the whole point.
Dude. I’ve been recently watching a live recording of the production of the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical that took place in Los Angeles in 1995 that’s available on UA-cam, and in that one, when Cogsworth asks Beast why he let Belle go, the Beast didn’t say his line “Because I love her”, and Mrs. Potts tells the servants how he’s finally learned to love. And that was 22 years before the live-action remake came out. If you don’t believe me, watch the video yourself.
@@hunterolaughlin Dude, we're taking about another medium. Also it came first sooo... Explain where you were going with this because I don't get it.
@Regina Takáts Got to disagree. The romance in the original progressed quite naturally in a way that made sense for both characters, so it made sense that she found herself not saying "I love you" until she thought he was dead.
Also, in the original you see how devastated The Beast is when he roars out of a broken heart and here; he just sings out his feelings like he’s bummed out or inconvenienced.
Gaston in 1991: *pushes Belle on a wall*
Belle in 1991: *politely but rightfully tells Gaston to stop*
Gaston in 2017: hi
Belle in 2017: BITCH HOW DARE YOU?! CANCELLED!!!
...is this a social commentary?
@@jareddunn3512 ehhh can't really tell
@@matheusmariani3108 remind me of live action Mulan really, there's one scene where the soldier was all like "hi!" and Mulan was all like "STEP AWAY FROM ME, MEN!!!"
I don't know why Disney were constantly putting this kind of "strang endependent whoman" agenda on their characters, but instead of making them strong, they're making them a bitch
Yeah, animated Gaston was a massive jerk and actually threatening. Remake Gaston was just a clueless idiot. If anything Belle was more of a jerk than he was.
@@yudobudhi8428 Reminds me of Captain Marvel where she bullies(electrocutes in an unused version) a guy and steals his motorcycle for flirting badly.
So Belle and the Beasts' moms both died? Were they both named Martha?
ShadowSonic2 Why did you say that name?!?!
ShadowSonic2 nah, they don't have a flashback every movie reminding what happened
claudio cozzi MARTHA!
😂😂
Martha was probably their mother's name xDD in the original they're related
it's a bit ironic that the animated characters have more personality than the live action characters
Or that we feel more attached to the characters in the original even though the remake is 33 minutes longer.
I turned off the movie halfway through the "Belle" song, pretty much right at the beginning. The girls singing about Gaston ("Be still, my heart, I must be dreaming!" etc.) were actually what did it for me. In the cartoon, even those random bit background chorus characters were expressive as all get out, with movement and shifting facial expressions and all sorts of little details. And then, in the live movie, they didn't move or express AT ALL. The camera actually gets behind them and you don't even see their faces. They just stand there, stiff as boards, now faceless, and blandly singing on top of it. It was just... sad. And all the characters were like that in the song. I just had to turn it off before my nostalgia was ruined.
@@SomeUA-camTraveler If the main characters hadn't been bland as well, I would almost say everyone else looking and sounding bored and lifeless and stiff and flat was a stylistic choice, to show how dull real life is.
Disney just gave into the whiny trolls bitching and moaning about the original, and everything that was unique and amazing just kind of sort was lost or ruined.
funny how trying to sound like entitled critics don't really make you people sound any smarter
Someone actually tried to tell me Emma Watson had no autotune on her voice. I can literally hear the pitch bend on every note.
Disgruntled Cashier yeah same here
I think she's actually the autotune for the computer. The robot was singing too emotionally.
I did hear the autotune on her voice but i figured that it would actually help her out like the ones in The Greatest Showman. Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and the like are actually good/decent singers, so the autotune actually helps their songs.
Emma Watson is not a good singer. I wouldn't have minded the autotune if it was used as a tool to improve the singing, not as a useless crutch
Yes how did you know 😂
You can hear the robot in her voice
"I'm never going to marry you, Gaston!"
I was just going to ask you out to Denny's; it's really not that big of a deal
I just presumed he had asked before on multiple occasions. Maybe my memory of the animated movie is warped because I assumed the same in that one too, especially since he had a wedding party already set up if she (finally?) said yes.
+@@jasonstraight1320 Correct. It's just in this version, the presentation sucks
The sexist literacy is honestly so stupid and actually ironic. It’s really funny because, in this time period they’re trying to represent, female literacy wasn’t something that was frowned upon. There were even magazines for young women! In fact, the original Beauty and the Beast story was published in one! This just adds a whole other level of stupidity!
Thanks Nostalgia Chick for the info I can spread!
I think she would prefer being referred to as Lindsay Ellis
@Diane Berg But they were still for women
Also, women didn’t wear the stereotypical wasp waist corsets Emma Watson complained about until the Victorian era, and the story takes place before then. Not to mention that French peasants couldn’t even wear corsets because back then they were expensive to make, not to mention restrictive and useless when it came to the working class. So while
in theory Emma refusing to wear a corset is great because those are the most useless pieces of fashion besides lipliner, she’s also historically inaccurate by assuming all women wore corsets back then all the time.
@@colbaltmind5696 Huh. You learn something new every day.
I learned something new today.
Didn't French women already know how to read in this time period?
The original Beauty and the Beast was PUBLISHED IN A WOMAN'S MAGAZINE!
Ofc, they had many magazines that were created esp. for women.
Eh, some. The big town/city dwellers more so than the rural areas.
@@MartianFromMercury, good point. Read up on Dr. Lynn Hunt's writings on the French Revolution; especially "Politics, Culture, and Class in the French Revolution".
even in the time period the story is set yes.
Tamara: does nothing but dress up and dance with a giant dollar sign
Me: still better than Watson
She’s very good isn’t she? I love that dress on her 🥰
@@Rat_Queen86 Gotta admit she really rocked it.
Yea her acting was beautiful
Plus, Tamara's cuter (IMO).
Yep. I’ll pay to watch more Tamara as a vampire sucking money dry
Imagine getting Audra Mcdonald in your movie... and letting her sing for the whole 20 seconds
Maybe that's all they could afford?
@@gokuxsephiroth4505 Disney owns everything, puh lease lol.
“Who cares if it blows? We’re rolling in the dough... Disney’s bland remake...”
There’s so much truth in this lil lyric.
GreaterStark disney would sue if that song actually made them loose two dollars
Fuck you

Lol, True, HISHE Reference I presume?
NOBODY LIKE! I JUST MADE THIS 666 LIKES
Doug is honestly a better singer than Emma Watson
Alondra Garcia You deserve all the Likes! Truer words of this scale have never been ushered before!
I know. I'm honestly kind of bummed this wasn't a full on musical review. Those were always my favorite reviews.
Who’s Doug?
Doug Funny?
Or??
And he's a very good voice actor. Do not try to change my mind.
He's probably a much better actor than her also!
Incredible how Tamara shows infinitely more emotion and passion in the short intro than Watson over 2 hours.
The Jim Carrey grinch and Doug walker show more emotion and passion than Waston!
Hell you know what? The Mike Myres cat showed more emotion and passion than her.
Watson is like the new Kristen Stewart.
New Belle is flawless, fearless, expressionless... and so, bland and without evolution
New Nala is flawless, fearless, expressionless... and so, bland and without evolution
New Mulan is flawless, fearless, expressionless... and so, bland and without evolution
(etc. ?)
= Disney fall into wokism, confusing a good female character with a Mary-Sue
"We don't have enough good females characthers!"
Geez... I WONDER *WHY*
@@ClaudetteVioletta Disney wants marvel and Pixar to due all the work for them.
At least the old ones are good
I think many people hate the old Disney heroines because they are not feminist enough
@@queenarialya That problem is I don't think feminist mixes well with Fairy tales/ Fantasy.
There's a specific scene in each movie that I think really spells out how the remake doesn't understand the original at all.
Right as Belle is leaving the castle, and the servants are watching, there's a dialogue exchange where Cogsworth asks why The Beast let her go. In the original animated one, the Beast responds with "Because I love her.", showing his growth as a character and how painful it is for him to watch her go, but his willingness to let her have her own happiness over his humanity. In the remake, they give the line to Mrs. Potts "because he loves her", not only making the line more like exposition instead of character growth, but it robs a huge moment from the Beast and takes away from his arc.
I agree, that bit made me so angry. If you think about it there is no moment where the beast admits he likes nor loves Belle in the remake.
They were hoping the song Evermore would serve the same purpose as that scene, but it clearly doesn’t
Also the live action makes a massive mistake by adding the possible death of the servants. It makes the Beast letting her go seem like a dick move because he’s basically accepting their execution.
So many small details annoyed me like how the fountain scene with the sheep was skipped, how half the town is wearing blue, and how Belle in the remake wears her special yellow gown outside. In the original she only wears it inside the castle. Gaston never gets to see her in it.
Exactly. They rob everything that made the Beast a compelling character and just made him a blank slate.
Also I found her to act really pompous for a character like Belle, who is sweet and warm, but also firm. Like in the original she greets Gaston politely and even when he gets too ahead she's firm, but done with dignity, which made her naturally the bigger/respectable person. In the live action Gaston was actually nice to her when they meet (considering that everyone in the village apparently hates her when in the original no one actually hated her but just thought her odd) and she immediately shuts him down, she was rude to him and held no dignity. I did not have the respect for the live action Belle like I did with the cartoon.
The funny thing is that we should support her for that.
That's because here she's a Strong Independent Female™ character who don't need no man.
that is an excellent point. Another example of Disney counting on audiences definitely having seen the original.
Reverse nice guy lmao
That's what I thought too! She always had this facial expression of "are you fucking stupid?", and it looked really patronising.
Song asks, "How can a moment last forever? How can a story never be forgotten?"
The mouse replies: Just cram a remake, reboot or remaster down their throats every few years. Don't ever let them forget who owns them!
So true
It's the company not Mickey's fault stop blaming the mascots, I'm trying to be nice
@@arielruh7773 I hate to point this out but, mascots aren't really. They are literally creations of the company so, as a physical representation of Walt Disney's will as a corporation, Mickey Mouse is just as much to blame as the Disney company. If you need proof that even Mickey Mouse isn't above reproach, look at how they're trying to make Mickey Mouse a big deal again by slapping on a 'new' art style that is just the 1940s style with color and sharper lines. I wouldn't feel too bad off by hazarding a guess that a lot of the 'new episodes' are actually just rehashes of old stuff we've seen a million times. Face it, Disney is creatively bankrupt and hoping to survive off the coattails of Marvel and Star Wars until they can find someone to give them a fresh idea. If they can't find someone, they'll buy it off another studio or entity.
The scene of Malcom as a candlestick suffering an existential crisis was more emotional and moving than most of the acting in the actual movie.
Disney should have listened to Cogsworth.
"if it's not broke, don't fix it"
Baroque*
Darla Ramirez really? XD
Darla Ramirez Wouldn't attempting to fix something require making big noticable changes?
But...
We've got to have... MoNeY
Darla Ramirez as well as “promises they don’t intend to keep.”
I think one of the things that really annoyed me about Emma, and by extension, the whole film, was realised when I compared her to Lily James and her portrayal of Cinderella in the 2015 live action. We can use their ball gowns as exemplars. For Lily, if you watch her behind the scenes and even in the movie, you can tell that she uses the dress to get into the character of Cinderella - she’s even said that being in the dress made her feel the most in character. With Emma, she insisted on tailoring the dress to what *she* believed Belle should be like. In short, Lily used the opportunity to give us the best Cinderella she could, and Emma used the opportunity to give us the best Emma she could.
lmao also that autotune was something else
Cinderella was fantastic. This... was terrible.
I wouldn't say that the live action Cinderella movie was perfect it had it's off moments but it was way better then this one (and that's saying something)!You can tell that the actress who played the live action Cinderella was trying to act like the like the character in the live action movie like this comment mentioned she uses the dress to better play the character although the acting and facial expressions in some scenes turn out looking robotic and awkward you can tell shes trying to play the character but Emma Watson unlike the Cinderella actress looks like shes trying to play HER version of the classic character her acting has little to no resemblense to the real belle character and most scenes are just her looking more bored then the actress who played alice in the Tim burton films and she made changes to the costumes to look like her interpretation of bell
Maybe I'm not alone in this, but I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that I hear nothing unnatural about her voice. I guess flatness of her voice has something to do with it?
@Spammu Doggo SHE did? Not the makeup department's decision or something??
Tbh, I didn't really care much for Lily James' Cinderella dress, seemed rather underwhelming compared to the dress in the animated film (hard to top something so iconic), but I can respect that James utilized it to get into the character, giving us the sincerity that drives Disney magic. BUT we can agree that Belle's dress in the 2017 BatB was just bad, especially when we've seen far superior interpretations in COSPLAYS!!
"Where does the soul of a candlestick go.................................WERE DOES THE SOUL OF A CANDLESTICK GOOOOO!!!" That part had me dying
I just came back for that part😂😂
YOU KNOW WHAT I WISH???
I wish Disney was turning the rest of the NARNIA books into films, instead of these pointless classic cartoon remakes!
Yeah; why did they abruptly stop at book 5? And why did they skip book 3? I understand skipping book 1 since it was a prequel, but book 3?
They were working on the Silver Chair movie for a while recently, but Netflix bought the rights to Narnia and wants to make a TV series instead.
@@matthewmuir8884 I don't understand your numbering. In my book set, the Wardrobe is book 1, Dawn Treader is book 3 (which was an awful movie, so disappointing), and The Horse and His Boy is number 5. They made book 1 (Wardrobe), book 2 (Caspian), and book 3 (Dawn Treader), according to my set, and they began work on book 4 (Silver Chair), skipping none. Now most likely no more movies will be made because of Netflix. Sigh. The Silver Chair is my favorite because of Puddleglum.
@@Andreamom001 I'm using how the books were numbered in the set they were in at the book store; i.e. chronological order. Your set is probably in the order in which the books were written, as he went back later to write Magician's Nephew and Horse and his Boy
I think the Narnia movies stopped because not only were the actors getting too old and were being phased out, such as Peter and Susan in Prince Caspian, but the movies were getting progressively worse and worse as they came out. The Lion Witch and Wardrobe was fantastic, and while I loved Prince Caspian it did have some notable flaws. However Voyage of the Dawn Treader was TERRIBLE. Eustace was painful to sit through, Lucy and Edmund had character arcs that were far less compelling than Peter and Susan’s in the previous film, and the story was very weak.
Am I the only one who thought, 'Hmm. So Gaston's lifeless body is just lying there in the courtyard while everyone is celebrating and dancing? That'll be a fun discovery for someone!'
"Tale as old as-ahhhhhhhhhh! Gaston is dead!"
No one lifeless like Garston
Nooooo oooooone....
Dies like Gaston
attracts flies like Gaston
No one falls to the rocks and loses life like Gaston!
@@Double-R-Nothing you are sick like that remix
I don't think he's dead. Sure its possible, but when you look the distance he fell from...he could have survived that..maybe with his legs or back broken though or if some masonry fell on him, then sure he's dead. But when Gaston fell in the animated film, he is absolutely dead.
@@BrandontheBeldam2993 Don't you dare open the door for a sequel.
This film really shows what a master piece the original was.
@come to order! C.G.:the Cartoon Judge!
But, that's what animation does! Drawings are able to exaggerate and push boundaries in movement and expression.
It also shows that Disney at some point stopped caring about Art, and is now only obsessed with Money. it's sad. I have to wonder what old Walt himself would think of this.
We didn't even need this remake to be reminded of how perfect the original was.
So we really needed this movie after all, now we apreciated the orginal more.
Imagine Watching A Remake First & The Original Second, What A Revelation You would Have.. 😆😄👌
It's set in France and yet everyone has a British accent. Why ?
Why couldn't they hire French actors or actors that could do a non stereotypical French accent?
JUST WHY
Because Disney likes British accents, I guess.
As a french, I prefer earing british accents than an awful french one. Also, most of the appeal of the movie was the actors I think so a french cast wouldn't have work
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster It's just that these films claim to be so realistic, but now they're having a black Ariel, so idk
So, they pulled a Jean-Luc Picard by having the French characters played by Brits?
The casting is super hilarious half the cast is American half is English one is Scottish and one is Welsh
The only reason I think why they chose Emma Watson to play belle is because her character Hermione Granger was also a bookworm.
i think it literally boils down to "we need a brunette to play Belle".
Apparently once she auditioned, they didn't even consider anyone else. They just decided that she was going to be Belle. It had nothing to do with her talent, just her star power.
@@lukeroberson2115 yea they should have chosen someone else because she did not remind me of belle in any way.
This is an actual insult to the original.
I agree.
Probably every remake is
The Remakes are an insult to all the animators who worked on the originals.
Since when did Disney care? Money is Money.
Lala Mina I thought the Aladdin remake was good, will smith did a pretty good job as the genie 🧞♂️
Throughout the castle scenes, Belle looks more like she forgot her calculator at the SATs rather than afraid of being in a castle with a beastly looking creature. Actually, scratch that. A person forgetting their calculator at the SATs would look more afraid than her.
Anyone taking the SAT's or any kind of exam would be more scared than this Belle was in the Beat's Castle.
Anyone forgetting their calculator at their exam would be fucking choking to death of fear!! Being an engineering student, I know the feeling.
Anirudh Viswanathan as a person who forgot his on the PSAT, I can only imagine the pure horror. Unlike her who maybe has a gnat buzzing around her.
Disney in 1970: we want to put smiles to children’s faces by bringing them quality entertainment through amazing animation and storytelling
Disney in 2019: All we want is money, we don’t care about the children we just want money
He means kids aren't the main focus when it comes to the filmmaking now, unlike in the period before Michael Eisner
Aaronrm
Meanwhile, at Pixar: Remember your old statement guys? We’re trying to recapture that.
Lmao
Um...in 1995 Michael Eisner was still the CEO of Disney...you know, the guy who said, “we have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective”. Disney has been about money for a long time, perhaps not early on, but definitely in the last 40 some years...
On the bright side let’s just hope this money goes into making good marvel movies and mandalorian
If I can praise anything about this film, is the damn good performance delivered by Gaston's actor. He was for me the best part of this movie.
His name is Luke Evans
Fun fact, Belle's father taking the rose from the garden was actually in the original story.
Yes but it’s pointless in this movie :3
Except there he takes the rose because it was a bait by the beast.
Yeah, I know, I'm a year late to the party.
That’s true, I heard in the original that she actually asked for a rose with three heads. when he went to the castle, and since it was enchanted, he was able to find it and pluck it out which caused the beast to corner him. her father then mentioned that he didn’t mean to take it but really wanted to give it to his daughter who requested for the same rose, and the beast commanded that since he stole something that he loved, her father has no choice but to let his daughter live in the castle with him, not as a prisoner but as a guest.
Solo Fam
@Daniel Brown Again, like the original novel. I never said it was a good adaptation did I?
One of the reasons that I see that the musical numbers are terrible is because there is no movement. They just stand around and move their mouths, there's no dancing or even walking around. And.....of course the auto tune.
I have seen more facial expression from musicians on stage focussed on doing their art than the actors who are SUPPOSED TO EXPRESS themselves properly in this movie.
I mean, they don't even sing that well(barring Audra McDonald). The least they can do is be expressive in their movements so that there is SOME energy in the musical scenes.
It's time that we recognize Ema Watson is just as bad as Kristen Stewart but we like her better because she played Hermione and not Bella Swan
what's funny is Kristen is the better actress who landed a bad role.
Eh; by my personal metric, she's a decent actress. Not bad, not good. My metric is this:
A bad actor is bad even when handed a good script.
A decent actor depends on their script; they're bad with a bad script, and good with a good script.
A good actor is good even when handed a bad script.
A great actor elevates a bad script and is able to take lines that shouldn't work and make them work.
Yeah this is also helped by how confusingly similar they look kinda like Luke Evans and Orlando bloom
@@matthewmuir8884 You have described it in such a good way!
I like Emma's personality and ideals a bit tho...
It's not something magnificent and I would probably not be friends with her,it also lands a bit badly at times,but she's not awful...
Belle: hello who’s there
Luminaire: HELLO THERE

Quote nope
No one gets their song sequence skipped over like Gaston.
thats cos it was actually good
HoopsAndDinoMan he must have actually liked it.
HoopsAndDinoMan HA! XD
Or he hated it so much he didn't want to acknowledge it
Because Gaston was literally the best part of the whole movie. Luke Evans and Josh Gad were awesome. Everything else was... Well, what the guy said in the video pretty much says it all lol
Audra Mcdonald is a legend in every sense of the word. She is an incredible talent who has won more Tony award than any other actor. In this movie she only features in 3 songs.
She should have been in all of it!!
The lion king was worse but this one angered me more because I rewatched the original every Christmas till I was 12.
The idea behind this Belle was to have a woman who didn't cry, was never intimidated or scared. It honestly wrecked the film, as she doesn't react as a normal person would in this situation, but instead always has a level of control on her situation.
Once again, the "strong female character concept" forgets, that weakness and emotion makes a character more relatable and human.
Almost like they turned their Belle into a Mary...
N Slater "level of control of the situation" is not equal to just plain numb to emotions
Pepper Milk Alice from McGee's Alice has way more character. Best version of Alice so far.
That and the whole "invents the washing machine" thing, it just feels like they're hammering in the whole get more women into stem bullshit movement. I know it's small, and I know she's the daughter of an inventor, but the whole stinger with the the assholes who wrecked her creation because of the fact she's an inventor with no blackboard pointer to swing between her legs, it just feels very forced.

Poor Remake Pierre...
I think if Disney wished to do a live action “remake” of this story I think it would of been cooler to focus on the beast’s point of view. Show how is childhood was bad, how he struggled in losing his humanity for being a beast for so many years, gain his humanity through his interactions with Belle, the list could go on about the interesting changes that could of been an interesting movie
True
Tamara's acting is totally better than Emma's XDDD
I mean seriously - after HP series Watson forgot how to acting.
Lol yes
I agree with you 100% on your critiques. In fact I though you were too generous, especially near the end. Here are a few things I thought were unforgivable even if I could forgive everything else, which I can't.
1. Belle's clothes. - modern bra - (because Emma Watson said a feminist like Belle wouldn't wear a corset) like Belle wouldn't wear the underwear of her era? BTW corsets weren't dangerously synched in until the Victorian era. - Bloomers - women from that era wore short panties and stockings up to their thighs. - Hiking her dress up above her knee - that was something only prostitutes did. Belle might have been an independent woman, but I don't think she would advertise herself as a slut.
2. The fact that they have Belle attempting to escape. I know everyone says they liked this, saying that is shows spunk. But the point in the original was that she could have left at any time. Nothing is physically keeping there except... her word. Belle made a promise that she never meant to break. To claim she never intended to keep her word negated the monumental sacrifice in taking her father's place. In fact when she does run away she says this, "promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute", and then when she comes back she says, "if you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away". It is her promise that's kept her a prisoner. That's why this was NEVER a case of Stockholm Syndrome. He never even locked the front door, or laid a hand on her. It also adds a great deal of weight when the Beast, quote, "releases" her. He releases her from her promise to stay there forever, not because he ever physically restrained her.
3. The fact that the Beast NEVER says he loves Belle. When asked why he let Belle go he's supposed to say "because, I love her", but he doesn't. Mrs. Potts delivers that line. It's made obvious that the love must be realized and verbally declared. The Beast never declares his love for her in so many words. Sure in action he does, but if that was what was needed then the curse would have been broken when Belle headed back to the castle.
4. This line by the Beast - "Leave me now, our time is short." His servants are going to die, and after condemning them to death by letting Belle go this is all he says to them! Then as they go of to face their impending death he selfishly sings a song lamenting that he will remain a beast. I lost whatever respect I might have had left for the character at that moment.
5. I know you touched on this one, but it is my favorite part of the original. The Beast is holding Gaston over the edge while he pleads for his life. The music changes and the Beast's face softens. Throughout the entire movie, at least in the original, the Beast is constantly told to control his temper. It is his unbridled temper that is his inner demon. And at that moment he finally controls it. He's still angry, still passionate, still powerful as he pulls Gaston in, orders him out, and then casts him away in contempt, but at that moment he becomes the "man" he was always meant to be. In this version he pulls Gaston in and lamely says "I am not a beast." - Yes, he is a beast, to say otherwise is a falsehood. The point was that in finally controlling his temper and passions, he's a beast who found his humanity.
6. The final one I'll point out is probably the most damning issue about this whole movie. I had to rewatch the end to make sure I wasn't seeing things. In the original and in this version the Beast had until "the last petal fell" to break the curse. In this version Belle and the Beast NEVER BREAK THE SPELL! The Beast never declares his love for Belle, and Belle only declares her love after the last petal falls. The enchantress witch breaks the spell for them. If she could have arbitrarily broken the spell at anytime then what was the point of the curse having a deadline in the first place? If Belle hadn't said she loved the Beast would she have stood by and let the Beast and all the servant die even though they had learned their lesson? How can you make a love can conquer all story when love didn't conquer anything! This was the worst part of the whole film. They did it to make it seem that it was to late, but all it did was "prove" that the love between them didn't matter at all. The Curse could have been broken at anytime the witch chose.
The original was a great and near perfect movie. Since the movie was subtle all one needed was a little imagination to explain any "plot holes" it had. The rose blooming until his "21st year" can easily be taken to mean that it wouldn't begin to wilt until his 21st year. If so the Beast could have been cursed as a 18 or 19 yrs. old and then when he came of age at 21 is when the clock started ticking.
The plot hole of the villagers is clearly explained by the following lines: in the prologue "the Beast concealed himself inside his castle", when he imprisons Maurice "so, you've come to stare at the beast", then when Belle begs for his release "he shouldn't have trespassed here". All saying that his isolation was self imposed, but that there were probably rumors about a beast in the castle. Also the castle is quite a ways from Belle's village explaining why the rumors never reached that far and the line from Belle when she first arrives "what is this place?". This new version's lazy writing doesn't answer any questions well, and frankly creates so many new ones that even imagination can't answer them. Just disbelief is left.
I could go on forever. What they did to this movie is like someone deciding to paint a toothy grin on the Mona Lisa because they thought her smile was to subtle and they could make it better.
I'm sorry about the rant. I didn't intend to go on this long. But I'm so sick of the remakes, especially when they slaughter the original story (just suffered through parts of the remake of Ben Hur, I couldn't even watch the whole thing, and am in a mood). The original Beauty and the Beast was brilliant enough that it won the accolade of being "the original" among the many versions and retellings of the classic tale. It's refreshing to hear someone recognize the newer version as the monstrosity it is.
Thank you for typing out my feeling towards this movie!
this comment take the full hight of a 27' screen. i am amazed. And i am also amazed that it is all a reasonable criticism of this movie.
THANK YOU! The movie was ruined for me when i first saw belle and was like 'oh my gosh, they're not calling her odd because she reads. They're calling her odd because she has her underwear sticking out for all to see. She's the town slut' Every decision made in this movie was a money grab and the choice for Emma Watson to be belle was the biggest one of all. I wanted so much to like this film with the rest of my disney loving friends that i lied about liking it when I left the cinema. Im so tired of these remakes, it makes me want to cry.
You missed one point which I think is the most important mess up of this remake. That is the servants outright told Belle about the curse. This is to me an unacceptable butcher of the original story. The core of the story is that Belle never knew the Beast is human. She actually believed he was a real Beast to the last moment, and yet still fell in love with him. That is the most fundamental moral of the story. Here not only they outright told her he's human under curse but even a prince. It's like saying "he's your prince charming, go get him". There can be no other thing that can butcher the moral more than this. I can't believe how many people actually like this disaster.
Parable Films I'm with you in every regard, good on you...but I actually really liked Ben-Hur, as a whole. Maybe it's because I've never bothered to see the original, maybe I just view it as a standalone film, but in any case, opinions differ. Your opinion on Beauty and the Beast is one I wholeheartedly agree with.
"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell"
Animated Belle stands arms outstretched towards the winding river and mountains beyond. Back turned on the town and those who don't understand her.
Live action Belle stands arms outstretched towards THE TOWN????? With her back toward THE GREAT WIDE SOMEWHERE????
Live action movie, you just turned the best symbolic moment of freedom and not needing social approval in the original one into a cheap revenge moment of needy approval. How dare you movie?!?! How dare you!!!! And after she says she want's more than this provincial life too.
And that's when the movie lost all credit in my eyes. I hate those moments in movies.
Snarky McSne Thank you for pointing that out!
Snarky McSne Yeah,such a small detail with a huge meaning. They fucked it up badly.
There was a lot of them but among the biggest for me were the ballroom scene, the scene where he lets her go, and the scene where the beast dies.
I lose interest in this movie as soon as I learned that Emma Watson was playing Belle. 🙄
Regardless, however, this remake in general feels FORCED. Especially since the original was already good and did NOT need a remake! 🤦🏻♀️
I know ugh I hope that Disney isn't running out of ideas
Disney just out ideas now screw making new films lets do remakes to already classic films
Yet you people love black lives matter

I most admit, I am getting tired with all their remakes live actions... I mean it, Disney just got lazy... There had been very few live actions I really enjoy, but when are compare with the original source (cause please, we all know there will be comparasions), they look liveless and at some point, kind of unnecesary...
*The Lion King (2019)* has entered the chat.
I read somewhere (supposedly) saying Walt wrote in his will that the classics be remade every 10 years.
Oldies Videos
The Lion King 🦁 👑 just wasn’t a movie equipped for a /completely/ live remake. The CGI was gorgeous, but in the end it greatly restricted facial expressions of the characters 😕
@@sleepypanda9374 That btw has been debunked.
Nowhere in his testament does such a line exist.
And even if it did Disney would 100% not do it to honor a dead persons will (look at what they do with Stan Lees still active Twitter) but to milk peoples nostalgia for gross amounts of money with little effort.
@@sleepypanda9374 It wasn't just the animation that gave zero emotions out of the characters (I mean Zorro's horse in the second movie had more expression than those CGIs) but as it happens to this movie they changed many scenes for no reason, they made scenes like the reunion way faster and they slowed down others that weren't supposed to be slowed down and they even removed the certain elements that made scenes intense.
My greatest disapointment was the clip of Scar's confession. There was no such thing as Simba rushing on Scar in blind rage, calling him murderer and actually FORCING him to speak out under the threat of his brute strength (the one thing Scar never had) but instead they made a lifeless scene on which Simba grabs Scar's ear to force him climb the cliff and then he delievers poorly the even poorer lines of "My father! Your own brother, how could you!" while the lion pacing up and down and instead of actually forcing Scar to speak, Scar apparently gave himself away because whatever he said to Simba he said it loud enough for everyone to hear!
I wanted to scream at the mere stupidity of it! Of course there is only one Scar for me too and I am surprised that they didn't even cast the character with his original voice actor (I believe I heard the voice actor was not even asked to play the role, but I might be wrong). At least Mufasa had his original actor...
And of course the "Can you feel the love tonight" was a disaster. First off they didn't even re-record the song but they put Beyonce sing over it and there were places here and there that her voice didn't match the background music (naturally. Her tone is different than the original singer) but not only that. It sounded less than a duet to me and more like "Beyonce showing her singing skills off while the poor dude tries his best to be heard over it".
She did way too many turns with her voice, making soloist parts where there shouldn't be any and she wasn't singing WITH her partner she was singing OVER him. We all know how musically trained Beyonce is but that was a duet not a singing contest. She was supposed to be harmonizing with her partner.
But that could just be my opinion after all...
In the words of the great Epic Voice Guy in his La La Land Honest Trailer, “It’s way easier to teach world class singers how to act than it is to teach a world class actor how to sing.”
Except Emma Watson's acting is anything BUT world class.
The singing in La La Land is better than the singing in this movie!
Case in point: Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born!
And that may be true, but I know many theater directors who much prefer casting ACTORS in singing roles than singers. Reason being? Singers focus on singing. It's their craft. They're good at what they do, but that doesn't always translate into good stage presence. In fact, many of them are just prima donnas - so much so that are hard to work with.
In other words, you can't just train a world-class singer to act. It can be just as difficult. Singing however CAN be learned. Even folks who have no sense of rhythm can learn to pick up a beat (that was a major point in Mr. Holland's Opus - which is based on real events). For me, I would have to disagree with the premise. My experience is that world-class singers are often a detriment to the stage. I imagine it is similar in film.
This movie tried superhard to fix plot holes when only it just created more confusing ones
I feel like what if they made him 11 when he “turned” away the fairy

I watched this remake in the cinema barely two years ago and I honestly don't remember a single scene. That's saying plenty...
All that existed in my head was Emma Watson’s terrible, TERRIBLE auto tune “singing”.
all i remember is how bad emma watson did as belle and there being no charisma for belle and beast

One thing that always irked me is how everyone goes nuts about historical accuracy and white-washing and all that when the film is set in any other country but a European one. It's so hypocritical.
It's so stupid and wrong that I can't focus on the story whenever a show or movie does that. It completely makes the whole setting less believable and real.
@@M.G.2000 I agree. If casting diversity is what they're going for then they should invent their own fictional kingdom where they can include whoever they want instead of retconning history.
Tbh the casting isn’t quite as important as much as the fact that when you use a historical aesthetic for a setting, it has to be consistent or it falls apart. Like Belle’s wardrobe that didn’t match the ensemble and made her stand out in a bad way that broke suspension of disbelief
Belle literally sounds like a vocaloid voicebank. Enough said.
Even Vocaloids sound better and have more emotion than her.
I can name you several vocaloid songs where you can hear emotions. in Vocaloid songs is real work, Emma Watson didn't even tried.

Light Yagami if he’d used the death note he wouldn’t go to heaven or hell.
It just made me feel bad that he believes in a soul and afterlife. I truly believe that thinking there's an afterlife or soul is bad for people, as it cheapens life. You're less likely to live it to the fullest, if you think there's something coming next. Knowing that death is death, and you simply stop thinking really lights a fire under you, and enriches the one chance you have at life.
That would imply that he additionally believes that the afterlife is exactly the same as this life or that you even retain your sense of self/memories in the event that such a thing exists and occurs.
Emma had such a say in molding belle she totally missed that belle was supposed to be well read and opinionated but OPEN and warm and expressive. Emma is a reserved, standoffish and "above you" even when falling in love. the enchantress and the objects take priority to the main couple. beast never admits he loves her, instead Mrs. Potts does. the director totally missed the point of this movie and had to make it so political and "realistic" instead of realizing this a romance and a fairy tale
I agree with the "realistic part" but political? There's no political themes in the remake that wasn't also present in the original.
Gertrud Bondesson the political stuff you could argue is a lot of black actor randomly placed around the town and castle. Lefou begin more gay and “gay moment” (even if it was only for what 2 sec?). Having a man begin happy wearing a dress. And Belle befinner a inventering and invent a washing machine. These things could be argue begin political and some of these don’t really matter.
There were black people in France in the 1700's, and plenty of previous Disney character have been queer-coded or had effeminate manners, they just din't explicitly say that they were queer back then. As for Belle being an inventor, in the original it was her father that was ostracized for inventing things but painting the townsfolk as small-minded for hating new inventions was present in both movies, the remake was just more blunt about it. Would you consider Dumbo a political movie for portraying bullying and animal cruelty as bad?
Gertrud Bondesson yes, you are correct that there were black people in this time period (French history is not a subject I am strong at) but in 1700s I don’t think that Black was as good treated as they were here in this film with a black pastor/priest, high class black in the beast castle and the “kind” treatment the beast would give to his colored servant.
When it comes to queer, the only character that could be argue begin queer imo is pleakley from lilo and stitch (if you could give me some other Disney character that is queer, that would be nice) . But yeah Lefou is the first openly gay character Disney have had.
With the science thing, yes Morris was and is a inventor in the animated and the remake. But some people feel like it was forced and unnecessary that Belle is a inventor.
Also we all need too think that some people feel that anything that could imply a left ideology is political.
Also with the thing I say I may or may not agree. I am just starring what people feel this movie is pushing.
KittenKindness 100% agree with what you are saying.
Ryan Gosling was offered the role of the Beast, but turned it down to appear in La La Land (2016) instead. Emma Watson was offered the lead role in that movie, but turned down that movie to star in this one.
According to Ewan McGregor, the hardest part about playing Lumière was getting the character's French accent right, although his wife Eve Mavrakis is French. He said his voice ended up sounding Mexican instead of French, so he had to redo his dialogue after filming had completed.
Emma Watson (Belle), Dame Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts), Luke Evans (Gaston), and Nathan Mack (Chip) all share the same birthday, April 15, which was also the date of the first cast read through.
Belle's ballroom gown required 3,000 feet of thread, and over 12,000 designer hours to complete. It was accentuated with 2,160 Swarovski crystals.
During the ballroom scene, Emma Watson had a hard time not looking at her feet, because Dan Stevens was wearing steel toed shoes, and she was afraid he would step on her.
Emma Watson revealed to fans that she would be playing the role of Belle, before it even went on record. A big fan of Beauty and the Beast (1991) since childhood, she told her fans that her "six-year-old self is on the ceiling, heart bursting."
Luke Evans (Gaston) had to wear fake teeth during filming, due to having canines that are longer than normal, which he said would have made Gaston look like a vampire.
Emma Watson said she was bored during the filming of "Be Our Guest", since all she did was sit on a chair. The crew would tell her jokes, to keep her entertained, as well as trigger genuine giggling, to be used in the scene.
Emma Watson received $3 million upon signing, but made $15 million, since the movie made over $1 billion globally.
Emma Watson and Dan Stevens said that their favorite scene to film was the iconic ballroom scene.
During Belle and Beast's waltz, the letters WD can be seen in the coat of arms design on the floor. This is a nod to Walter Elias Disney.
Unadjusted for inflation, this is the most expensive musical ever made, on a budget of $160 million.
Emma Watson refused to wear a corset as part of her costume.
To prepare for the role of Belle, Emma Watson re-watched Beauty and the Beast (1991), and began taking singing classes.
Dan Stevens' favorite moment in the movie is when he roars at the wolves and scares them off.
Highest domestic opening gross of all time for a movie rated PG, as well as highest grossing movie remake and musical of all time.
Chappeau never speaks, even after reverting back to human form.
LeFou is Disney's first canonical gay character in a feature-length movie.
This is Ewan McGregor's first Disney movie. His next movie was playing the title character in Christopher Robin (2018).
Emma Roberts, Kristen Stewart, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, and Emmy Rossum were considered for the role of Belle.
First Disney live-action remake to break the two hour mark.
Emma Watson and Dame Emma Thompson appeared in the Harry Potter film franchise.
LeFou means "The Fool" in French. Good name for this comical character.
This movie is set in France. Emma Watson was born in France, and Ewan McGregor's ex-wife (and the mother of his children) Eve Mavrakis is French.
I can’t stand the beasts design and cgi in the remake. In the original he was so monstrous and when he acted sweet it felt so much more impactful. In this one I can’t get invested cause he looks like shit.
26:22 in the animated version, Belle confesses her love just BEFORE the last petal falls. Here, the petal has already fallen and the enchantress came in like, "Time to collect my magic rose and scold the prince even more."
She sees the last petal has fallen and then sees Belle confess. Then she's kinda of like, "Eh, close enough. Live and be a prince again."
Here's where I felt like it should've gone: the Beast dies, Belle confesses her love, THEN the last petal falls and the other characters become inanimate objects and the enchantress watches Belle confess her love as the Beast dies. Probably would've worked better and it might've been more dramatic.
jagirl966 To be fair though I think the reason why the enchantress lifted the curse was because she saw that the Beast redeemed himself.
The original Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney films. So I was very disappointed with this remake.
MegaSoulHero me too.

I try to comfort myself by thinking this is just a phase. Remember the mid 90's/early 2000's? That was Disney's "unnecessary direct to video sequel phase", and now they're going through an "unnecessary live action remake" phase. You'll see, when the last of these is made, the classics will continue to be beloved by generations to come, and the remakes will only be remembered by snarky reviewers making top 10 worst/least bad lists :)
Kris Lundell no...theyee beyond saving now...let em all burn out
That is pretty much exactly correct. They will be extremely dated because no love and actual care went into them, they will be remembered as the bland cash grabs they are, if they are remembered at all.
Heck, some of the gratuitous sequels are better than these "live action" dung-heaps.
Considering how much money they've been making off of these remakes I wouldn't hold your breath
Kris Lundell What about the 2016 remake of the Jungle Book? (Check the score on Rotten Tomatoes)
Kris Lundell Execpt Beauty and the Beast 2017 made over a billion dollars while the direct to dvd movies were often barely profitable.
I'm actually kind of surprised you didn't at least mention the god-awful yellow dress Watson wore. It looks like a cheap prom dress on the clearance rack at Kohls. I've seen designers on Instagram recreate a more faithful and gorgeous dress from the animated movie! The costume designer should be ashamed!
The Name Thing Is Not Happening UA-cam
..... Goddammit.
Same happened to Cinderella's remake. Same shitty dress.
Sad part is... you can sell the hell out of those! You could raise double the money by selling those dresses (if they were good).
So... "you had one job!!!" would... fit better than any other dress down here.
Bridezilla huh?
Having read some articles, it's pretty clear this was a result of having to do what the star wanted. The other costumes in the movie are all time-period appropriate and great, but Emma Watson was vocal about how she wanted her dresses to be (according to her co-star, his daughter gave input to Emma too, but Emma only has ever mentioned herself in the decision.) The costume designer herself mentioned how expensive and difficult it was to make the costumes according to Emma's wishes (Emma wanted certain materials and refusal of corset and stays). It sounded like the designer had to change things that were previously completed at some points as well. Looking at her whole body of work in the past, the dress doesn't match up to her skills. It must've been stressful to meet those demands, only to get all the flak for its bad reception.
The Disaster Artist Emma Watson designed it, we need to fire whoever let her design it
Honestly when they had Malcolm play the candlestick he's honestly has more emotion than anyone in this movie
It’s like I’ve always said - the ENCHANTRESS is the true villain of Beauty and the Beast!
The thing that bothers me the most about the Enchantress in the movie is they try to justify her turning the staff into appliances by saying they didn't help when the Beast lost his mother and was manipulated by his father. Okay, what about Chip? He wasn't even alive when that happened, why punish a child who had nothing to do with anything.
lets not forget about the fact she broke in slamming the glass windows
what were they suppose to do? if they helped what could have happend they were just the help, standing up to the king may not go so well for them
Even in the original she was messed up. CinemaSins pointed it out. Enchantress cursed Beast until his 21st year, and that was 10 years before. That means... SHE CURSED A F***ING 11 YEAR OLD! Never mind Gaston, that b***h is the real villain!
@@bbgunz1705 puberty must have been....interesting for him to say the least
You’re not wrong, but he is literally the only innocent one on the staff, and seriously, would YOU have left a single human child in that castle..? He’s better off as a cup.
"There is no such thing as beasts!"
That line makes absolutely no sense. Now if he'd said "There is no beast" or even said it with more emphasis, like "There's no such thing as ~BEASTS~", clearly mocking Maurice, then fine, but what he ended up saying was "animals aren't real".
Alex Summers I was thinking the same thing! 😂😂😂
Gaston was never known for his blistering intellect, so...
Tinilif Abinin very true, in the animated he whined about the book Belle reading not having any pictures in it when earlier we were shown that the book indeed had pictures in it when Belle was showing the sheep a picture from the book she just got. I am going to put it bluntly, while Gaston was a great villain and had one good scheme, he is mostly a dumb ass, but maybe that is part of his charm as a good villain.
@@morganyoung3557 it's was mostly because of his ego that he didn't want to see anything else but beauty as valuable, hence why he chose Belle in the original is because she was "...the most beautiful girl in town, that makes her thr best! And don't I deserve the Best? ...here in town there's only she, who's as beautiful as me!" Anything that didn't make sense to him that was different or imperfect wasn't worth his time or seen as wrong...which makes sense for someone with prejudice of that time period as well as the towns people themselves.
I've always thought that Lumiere in The Beauty and The Beast Disney Remake looks like The Bastard Child of Mrs Buttersworth and The Burger King
Well thanks, now I can't unsee it. XD
18:19 just saw the live action Aladdin, i was thinking the same thing. how is it both faster and slower?
Squawk! How is this movie longer?
I prefer the original library scene. It was one of my-if not is actually- my favorite scene(s). It gave belle more character and was just nice to see positive interaction with belle and a village person. I bring this up because I haven’t seen anyone talk about it.
One of my biggest complaints was Belle's costuming. Emma Watson was consulted in the costuming department (like she has any qualifications) and refused to wear a corset because they were too restrictive (even though 18th century stays were common in working class women and still had a lot of mobility as well made from natural materials) and the iconic gold dress? Remember the weight of it? How beautifully it was animated? Nope in this movie we have a piss colored prom dress.
Its sad because the Costume Designer Jacqueline Durran is a academy award winning designer for her work in Anna Karenina and the costumes in the rest of the movie were pretty good, but Emma Watson couldn't do was she was paid millions do and wear a costume designed by a professional.
But hey, at least Mark Bridges got an Oscar and a jetski for Phantom Thread. Lol
Also if the dress if supposed to from some wardrobe in a palace it should look like a dress that one of the extras were wearing in the opening number- big dated court dress. Even if you completely disregard how ugly it was, it looked like the fancy dress of a chambermaid- in the sense that it was wayyy to simple to ever be found in palace plus it looked too modern in context of the movie and in that it looked like prom dress.
ThatStarWarsChick i totally agree. besides, belle was modest. she was never SIMPLE. animated belle was always adjusting her wardrobe to make sure it laid right; she walked like a graceful ballerina. you can be humble and still appreciate fine things when they are presented to you. but no, we had to make belle into the "every day woman" who has to have a logical, practical reason behind everything, even her wardrobe choices, because to be *too* feminine or *too* emotional-or emotional AT ALL in Emma's case-- is not a princess people should look up to anymore
FUCKING GLITTER GLUE
OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE THE FREAKING MOVIE CAME OUT! Sorry for the caps-lock, I am just so happy to finally find someone who gets it! It looked like a mediocre prom dress, at best, it was bland. And for Pete's sake, WEAR THE FREAKING CORSET! I have a degree in fashion design, I am not a feminist at ALL but one of my friends who graduated with me is and even she is like "wear the freaking corset!"
If Watson was going to make a big deal out of this she has no business being in movies set in previous centuries. Period. It is what people wore then, if you are misrepresenting them then you are failing at your job as an actor. Plus her voice is garbage anyway.
Thank you again! ♡

23:18 I find that line funnier than I should, because in the original, in order for the spell to still be active after 10 years (according to the song) the Beast had to be a kid (around 10 or 11) when he was transformed, meaning Belle is the first girl he's met since he was a child, and he's a monster, no wonder it's freaking awkward for him.
Okay...how can High School Musical look more energized when they randomly break into song? And Gaston looks like the villain from Lazy Town.
Hey at least Robby Rotten is energetic in every movement.
Strawberry Seeds hey he was number one
triforceofcourage100 he still *is* number one
Faith Haps funny that you say that, because Robbie Rotten is supposed to be lazy af xD
Faith Haps and he wants to turn the town lazy
Has anyone else noticed that when the writers of these Disney remakes don't know how to make a character charming or have a personality, they just go "duuuuh make them a smart inventor," regardless if it actually fits their character or not?
ViaVia but don't you know? These are stroung, endepandant weeemyn
ViaVia well, the writers didn’t decide to make belle the inventor. Emma Watson did.
I didn’t watch the movie by the way. I knew it was trash since the beginning.
LadyRuelleyn hold up Emma Watson came up with the washing barrow?
They did that to Sandy in modern Spongebob as well. She was always into science, but she was never really an inventor. People think this sort of thing raises the quality of their characters, but in reality it does the opposite by making them two-dimensional stereotypes of "strong female characters".
"self employed inventor" is an easy way of making a character kind of dumb and quarky while also letting them pretend to be smarter then everyone else.
The Enchantress didn't even knock on the door in this version she just flung them open and walked in
Peter Jackson’s King Kong did a much better job with the “young woman bonds with big hairy guy” plot.
*But where does the soul of a candlestick go?!?*
But seriously, this movie's absolute garbage
Haha dude that was my favorite part. Malcom is hilarious all the time.
That joke got dark very quickly.
Where DOES the soul of a candlestick go?
*WHERE DOES THE SOUL OF A CANDLESTICK GO?*
Isagail to PSA hell.
Isagail greatest moment of Malcolm yet imo
Brilliant joke
It is definitely in the top five, but for me, it can't quite beat his rants about oranges. I die of laughter every time.
All I could think about when watching this scene was "If there's no silicon heaven then where do all the calculators go!?"
Anyone else wish that Gaston's line of "ever since the war, I feel like I've been missing something" was a missed opportunity for a sight gag? Perhaps a literal sight gag where we see he has an eye patch, or is that a bit too much?
I just realized that the first sentence of him reviewing the movie is practically Disney's new business model for these remakes: formulaic slight changes that convince people that something old is something new. They change up tiny, inconsequential details that don't affect the plot so that somebody who loves the remake can argue that it's not the same. Yes, TECHNICALLY it's not the exact same movie but if none of the changes alter the plot, ESSENTIALLY it is the same movie.
It's sad how Tamara's version of Belle's dress is still 10 times better than Emma Watson's version of Belle's dress.
I laughed when I realised that this is the first time that particular dress has been worn by a female on this show XD
More emotions from Tamera's Belle than Emma Watson's.
Wait till you see Watson's other 2017 film, The Circle.
26:00
Tell me folks, whats more chilling
Remake: "I am not a beast".
Or when the dim colors of the original convey the fear in Gaston"s eyes when the Beast says
"Get Out"
I assume the “getting more and more tired” thing is how they imply the curse is getting more final by the day, sapping their energy and slowly turning them more inanimate.
Can't wait to see what kind of destruction they bestow upon 'The Little Mermaid' and 'The Lion King'. Can't wait for the 2038 'Frozen' remake where they make the first 30 minutes a backstory about how Elsa got her powers and they give more character development to Oaken, while casting a non-singer to do 'Let it Go'.
Ranee MacIntosh For Little Mermaid the original actually suck so if they do a remake that was more faithful to the original story I am down with that. As for Lion King, well Jungle Book kind of showed how a remake starring all animals (sans Mowgli) can actually work; so I don’t mind it.
"the little mermaid sucks" stopped reading there.
Ranee MacIntosh Its true. Story its pretty damn shallow as it takes a story about true love and self sacrifice and turn it into an artificial happy fest where the main character (who is pretty damn self centered considering all she does is want things her way) ends up getting everything with no struggle or character development. That movie is the reason why the whole “Disneyfication” stigma is place on a lot of other Disney movies. The only thing it has going for are the songs; hell that’s like the only content you get when you played the Little Mermaid levels in Kingdom Hearts . . . I hate those levels, they were pure cringe.
Hunchback of Notre Dame, Moana and (appropriately enough) Frozen are better takes of Little Mermaid.
Honestly, any non singer could probably have sung that song better Menzel did.
Can't disagree with you there, she's not a fave. I listen to foreign versions more. My personal favorites are Arabic, Swedish, Cantonese, Danish, and Putonghua (China's Mandarin) so you should check them out if you want to hear someone sing the song better than Idina!
I dont care what anyone says the snowball to belles face was worth the price of admission 😂
Really was the best part
Exactly! That was one of the only parts of the movie I really liked. Perhaps even loved. Along with the cheesy try hard acting in the pub scene where Maurice yells "Listen to meeeee!" after a woman says "Crazy old Maurice." That made me laugh SO hard for some reason lol.
SAME!!!!!🤣
that's what I want to do do disney right now (metaphorically of course)
Same lol
In the Broadway version, the curse actually has the enchanted objects slowly turn into the objects (mainly to explain why they are human sized), however this is information that the only audience knows and not Belle, and they don't die after the last rose petal falls. There's definitely inspiration from that. But it doesn't excuse what the remake tried to do with the curse.
The live action remakes just get worse
We know because lion king remake.
All it's left now is Pocahontas, Mulan, the little mermaid, Pinocchio, and dare I might say, princess and the frog?
I feel like, in my opinion, Mulan live action remake, isn't really a remake. I read the book and it's really good. It does have things from the movie but there are quite a few differences. It doesn't feel like it's a remake. It feels like it's almost like it's a combination of the animated movie and the tale though to be honest I've only heard tiny bits of the tale.
Anyone else notice that Malcolm's portrayal voice of Lumiere sounds better than the live action version?
That's because they got VOICE actors. One big problem with these live-action movies full of CGI characters is that they use a bunch of big name movie stars who might not be very good as voice actors. Occasionally you get exceptions (Idris Elba is always a win), but for many it's obvious that they're just not in their element. They should get back in the habit of focusing on VOICE talent for animated characters.
That because they had a Scottish man play a French dude. It's like having a heavily accented Russian guy play a California surfer dude. A voice actor is trained to alternate their pitch, tone, and speech to sound like varying characters with varying personalities. The voice acting community is very tight knit, hence why you see one actor have hundreds of characters under their belt. But actors aren't always able to do the same thing, and while some can alternate between voice acting and live acting it can be very hit or miss. Ewan McGregor has voiced characters decently in other animated films, I just think they overwhelmed his abilities too much by expecting such a heavy thick french accent. Shoulda gotten Sascha Baron Cohen. Yeah he's a British man but he does a good goofy, over the top French accent
oui oui mademoiselle
Tamara was really pretty in the Belle dress! ✨🌹✨😃
ai i
Perhaps too pretty.
ai i kinda jaundice tho
She's eternally adorable. I never realized she had a tat. Looks good, girl!
ai i more sexy then pretty if you ask me because to Tamara kind of reminds of the Belle you'd see in Beauty & the Beast hentai stories.
KNX Records your comment is completely true.
26:00 One scene that bothered me in this remake, all the way back when I saw it in theaters was the Beast fighting against Gaston. Specifically how it initially ends. In the original (which isn’t even one of my favorite Disney movies), that ending gave me goosebumps. In that moment, The Beast is holding Gaston by the throat, dangling him off the castle ready to drop him. Before the plot started, he arguably would’ve just dropped him, but because he spent so much time with Belle, he’s learned even in life threatening situations, he must control his temper. He slowly brings Gaston in and whispers to him, “get out.” That scene always stuck with me even as I got older. A line he initially said out of blind rage before, now comes back to show how much he’s changed.
In the remake, The Beast puts Gaston down because he doesn’t like being called a beast. That feels less like a character who’s grown, and more like a mother telling a bully not to beat up her son.
