Because when a cover band plays a note-for-note version of an incredibly famous song, you can't help but also hear the original version in your head at the same time - and in the case of this feature, I prefer the original over the alternate take.įor the moment, let's focus on what really works about Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast, the latest effort in Walt Disney's current push to produce ornate live-action adaptations of its animated masterpieces.
The familiarity of Beauty and The Beast - both from the 1991 animated version as well as the smash Broadway show that it spawned - stole some of the impact of this live-action telling. And yet, the long shadow cast by Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast also prevents Condon's version from truly feeling unique and special, despite its efforts to tweak and tug at this tale as old as time to find something fresh and new.
