Thoughts
I wanted to wipe my mind of the Blair Witch and you can’t find anything more different than a Disney princess doing what she does best. This is fun, great songs, and some enchanting (pun intended) characters. You love to hate Gaston, the clock and the candlestick are clearly a brilliant couple, and the beast learns some valuable lessons along the way. I do hope Belle gets to spend as much time as possible in that epic library!
