I grew up with the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast. I was hesitant to watch this film, but ended up enjoying it. The music is a bit annoying at times, but its sweet as well. The costumes were exquisite and beautiful. For its time, the makeup was outstanding as well. The only real problem I had with this movie was some of the minor inconsistencies, but other than that I had fun watching it. This obviously isn't Oscar worthy, but when I show my kids movies, I think I'll show this one every once in a while. The acting was good, and I enjoyed it overall. Its good for a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do, with a nice bowl of popcorn!
