Pass it on
Beauty and the Beast
59Watch it awake.
The old promise, in a larger dress. The promise still holds. Prefer it to nothing, not to the tale.
The review
This is the live-action enlargement of the 1991 film, which is itself an enlargement of Beaumont's tale. The part that is still true: Belle offers herself for her father, and she returns when she said she would. The beast's temper is the obstacle. The castle is a household under a curse, which is a picture of what a house becomes when the master is a child. The padding — more backstory, more spectacle — does not improve the promise. It delays it.
A family can watch it. If you know the shorter tale, say that the tale is stricter and better. If you do not, take the two facts: she went in his place, and she came back on time.

Live Historic number 59. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Piety and Republic are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Encanto
70 instead of 59
Encanto is still a family film, and it scores 70 instead of 59. What you gain is industry: Each gift is a job: healing, cooking, weather, strength.
The eight
- 4Industry
A village, a father who is an inventor. The castle does not work so much as it waits.
- 8Household
A daughter takes a father's punishment. The ending is a household or it is nothing.
- 4Piety
A curse as moral consequence. Enchantment does the preaching.
- 7Courage
She rides back. He lets her go, which is the other bravery.
- 4Republic
A provincial town that gossips and a prince who ignored it.
- 6Temperance
His rage is the excess. Gaston's vanity is the other.
- 7Truth
She said she would return. The story still turns on that.
- 7Stewardship
A prison becoming a house, if he can be taught.
