Beyond the Trailer: Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Disney's Beauty and the Beast (2017)

If you read my Cinderella review, I grew up watching Disney movies and had been one of those little girls who lived on fairy tales.  I still do in a way.

There had been two Disney movies in my childhood I would say really shaped me.  One is the Little Mermaid (1988), which I will probably talk about in more detail when the live action drops.  The other was Beauty and the Beast (1991).

Belle was particularly special to me in my later teens as it was the time when I really began noticing how different I was.  Instead of going out with other people my age, I preferred to stay in the library during recess and after school before the school bus took us home.

Belle is very important to me for more than just her beauty, she helped me remember that being the way I am is alright.  My love for books, my pursuit of cleverness and wit and simply being different.  That is why out of all the adaptations Disney has done lately, I knew I would be especially passionate about this one.
