Disney's animated classic takes on a new form, with a widened mythology and an all-star cast. A young prince, imprisoned in the form of a beast, can be freed only by true love. What may be his only opportunity arrives when he meets Belle, the only human girl to ever visit the castle since it was enchanted.
Dan Stevens (the Beast) and Luke Evans (Gaston), who play enemies, have appeared in Dracula movies in the same manner, Stevens was Lord Arthur Holmwood in Dracula (2006), and Evans was Vlad in Dracula Untold (2014). See more »

Crazy Credits
Part of the closing credits is a "curtain call" sequence that features the cast (appearing in poses) and crew (their credit with an image relating to their respective job). The sequence is framed with shots of the Beast's castle at sunset, and ends with a zoom shot of the Beast and the enchanted objects posing at the castle's entrance. See more »

As a fan of the original cartoon, I also really enjoyed this remake. The songs are as wonderful as ever and the cgi effects really add to the film. The acting seemed very strong to me and the casting is pretty good. I'd definitely recommend seeing this. Will be a classic for future generations.
