I was five years old when Disney released “Beauty and the
Beast” in 1991. I remember being in the movie theater with my dad and one of my
best friends from school, watching the movie. It became my favorite movie right
then and there, with Belle being my favorite Disney princess. My dad always
credited her for the fact I’m a bookworm, but I always credit my parents for
that since they read to me every night and took me to the library often. But
Belle always reminded me that there wasn’t anything wrong about being a bookworm
or being considered odd. It also reminded me to value a person for who they are,
not how they looked. And to never shun someone for being odd.
At first, I was skeptical about them redoing Beauty and
the Beast as a live action movie. Naturally, I was worried they would screw
everything up. But soon I heard Alan Menken was once again composing, Tim Rice
signed on to write lyrics and finally, the cast was announced. It was so
top-notch, I got excited.
I decided to go see the movie for my birthday, which was
two weeks after it opened. I put on my Belle t-shirt and my Beauty and the Beast
watch necklace. (Which needs a new battery). Then we headed down to the theater
and watched the movie.
SPOILERS as old as time…
