I've not been a big supporter of the live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST remake, but I know many people are excited. I've just always been put off by the Stockholm Syndrome aspects of the story (even if it's a bit more nuanced than that), and also the new Steampunk nightmare designs of the characters leave a bit to be desired, in my opinion. Even the addition of an openly gay character is wrought with potential pitfalls, based on the character they chose.
But there's a new clip released from Disney, and maybe it can change my mind:
It's a short, but fun, clip that nonetheless has some scary connotations. Like, no taste buds? That must be a nightmare! It hasn't changed my mind, but if the reviews are good enough I might give the film a shot.
But what about you Schmoes? You fans of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST? If so, what do you think of the remake? Sound off below!
Either way, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will barge into theaters March 17th, 2017.
