Pick Up Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Live Action Film

This post contains affiliate links.

Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favorite Disney movies – if not my favorite. I grew up watching it over and over. Belle was my favorite princess when I was younger, likely because I could always be found with my nose in a book too. Because of my love for this film, my daughters love it too. We have watched it many times and so naturally we were very excited to hear that Disney was making a Beauty and the Beast Live Action film.

Unfortunately, we never made it to theaters to see it, but that is OK because we were sent an advance home release to check out – and were blown away! I mean, I knew I was going to cry, and I knew I was going to love it, but I had no idea how much. Emma Watson was perfect as Belle – and Dan Stevens totally surprised me. He is phenomenal in Legion but I had no idea he could sing like that! The humor with Josh Gad was fantastic as well. I can not recommend this film enough. True fans will be happy with how it came out.

In Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, a live-action adaptation of the studio’s animated classic, Emma Watson stars as Belle and Kevin Kline is Maurice, Belle’s father. The story and characters audiences know and love are brought to life in this stunning cinematic event…a celebration of one of the most beloved tales ever told.
