The movie Disney fans have been waiting for for what feels like forever is finally here, and OH MY GOSH.
Now I know it’s only been out for a week, so rather than a full review I thought I’d do my classic ‘chuck all the things that popped into my head while watching the movie’ thing, and keep it spoiler free for those of you who don’t want to ruin the experience – not that it’s not a story you already know though..
Ok, from the top, maestro!
Does Belle have her skirt tucked into her knickers?
I can’t be the only one who’s first thought was this, can I?
YES SHE IS NAILING THIS SONG
I also loved the little tweaks to the classic Bonjour
I love Olaf, wait I mean LeFou
Forget the whole ‘I only see Emma as Hermione’, Josh Gad is Olaf Olaf Olaf and I love it
Luke Evans looks kinda old..
I get that Gaston is meant to be kinda rugged, but those wrinkles..
LeFou is SASSY
And I’m still loving it.
Belle is SASSY
I wouldn’t want to be his ‘little wife’ either.
Maurice is adorable
Fab casting Disney, fab indeed.
Ewan and Ian are a match made in Disney heaven
I knew I’d love these two.
I thought Emma Thompson was playing Mrs Potts
Turns out she was, I just couldn’t tell with the voice she was putting on..
BE OUR GUEST
Holy mother of Disney that was stunning.
Belle looks at books the same way I look at mugs
The sheer love on her face in that library. Same.
Why does Beast wear that raggedy cape when he has such beautiful clothes as well?
That dressing gown is gorgeous, so what’s with the grunge look?
THEY’RE DANCING
AHHHHHHHH
Yes LeFou!
You are sassy and independent and don’t need no Gaston in your life
Ok, that was brutal
When Mrs Potts couldn’t find Chip, when Lumiere and Cogsworth said goodbye.. I’m crying.
That transformation though
UGH IT WAS PERFECT RIGHT DOWN TO HIS HAIR AND OUTFIT
THAT WAS JUST SO PERFECT
I honestly thought the whole thing was beautiful.
If you’re unsure of whether or not you want to see this movie, just do it. I know people who were convinced they’d hate it but absolutely adored it, so what’s the harm? I don’t think you’ll regret it!

I would be interested about your thoughts on the extra scenes when they time travel to Paris for example. I was kind of confused by that.
They didn’t time travel – they just magically travelled there to the same time period. It was her old home & there was a flashback which explains what happened to her mum (something they never explained in the animation). Not necessarily needed but I enjoyed it. 🙂
And Lottie – I had the exact same thought about her dress tucked into her knickers!
xx
Yeah right! That’s what I meant 😀 Yeah it actually was nice to have that piece of information in the movie, but still I don’t know if I like it or not.
Lottie I had similar thoughts lol and my sister and my mum both thought Emma Thompson’s accent was like Iliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady lol!
I saw it earlier today and I can’t get it out of my head. They could not have done it any better. So worth the wait! X
After seeing this twice I have to say Emma and her Skirt got on my nerves haha! One moment it was tucked in and the next it wasn’t which really annoyed me and never got why she did in the first place!
