From 1989 to 1999, Walt Disney Animation Studios achieved the Disney Renaissance.
By contrast,Beauty and the Beastlooks like the most overproduced parade to ever grace the Magic Kingdom.
Clearly, there are some attempts at breaking away from the classic Disney film.
The film also absolutely lands the Be Our Guest number as a multi-colored tidal wave that overwhelms the senses.
For scenes like those two, many will allow themselves to get swept away inBeauty and the Beasts tide.
Just know that there isnt much depth below that shiny surface.
Beauty and the Beastis in the theaters on March 17.
