The much anticipated (especially by me) live-action movie version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is coming soon to theaters and here’s what you need to know. Because it’s live-action, the story and characters audiences know and love will seemingly come to life in this adaptation of Disney’s animated classic. This movie is said to be a stunning, cinematic event celebrating one of the most beloved tales ever told. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a Beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart of the true Prince within.
