While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreI had watched "Belle's Magical World" 5 days ago on YouTube, and I thought it was is a very cute and funny midquel. This film enriched with gentle lessons, which I do not mind at all, and two original songs that seamlessly fold one tale into the next; I don't think they are cheesy as everyone thinks, and besides I think the animation is swell. Overall this film and "The Enchanted Christmas" are both great D.T.V.s. And since the film is in three adventures presented like chapters in a storybook, my favorite "story" is "Fifi's Folly." You know, a lot of people have been putting negative reviews, because they are comparing to the original film and also about the time consumption like: How long did Belle stayed at the castle? And what about her dad? And was Lefou still guarding the house? Well, my theory is that the two films bookmarks before the library scene in the first film. So she had spend the winter in the castle, and her dad (having no sense of direction) search all winter for the castle. And as to the last question well even a lacky like Lefou can " bend" his orders - for food and warm.
View MoreThe original is a masterpiece, and The Enchanted Christmas is actually not that bad at all. This film is alright, but a lot of the animation is shoddy, and the songs are instantly forgettable. At least Enchanted Christmas did more than adequately in those two aspects. The storyline was merely a series of vignettes, like the sequel to Cinderella. If I had a preference to which I prefer, storyline-wise, this one raises the bar. Lumiere (though less elegant and debonair) and Cogsworth are funny here thanks to the brilliant voice overs of Jerry Orbach and David Ogden Stiers, but why was Belle changed? She did very little, other than preach to the characters. As for Mrs Potts, the reason why she was ruined, was because Angela Lansbury didn't voice her. The stories are okay with nice ideas, with a bit of humour from Lumiere particularly, but the essence of the original was lost. The best was "Fifi's Folly" but all three stories had problems of their own. The message was laid on way too thick, and in general the writing was uninspiring. And there were some bits about Beast's character that was unnecessary, like him hating birds. I can swear that wasn't mentioned in the original! Though I will admit that the bird was really cute. I will give this a 6/10, in respect to the voice actors. Bethany Cox.
View MoreThis movie is possibly the cheapest, cheesiest, and poorest sequel ever made.Yet, it is the funniest and most idiotic movie by Disney, and will guarantee laughs at the sappy stories and lame plots from start to finish.It's a group of short stories that seem like bad fanfictions.*SPOILER ALERT* The first one's all about Beast and Belle being petty over a pathetic argument. Then, three loser new characters decide to patch things up by forging a letter of forgiveness to give to Belle. Part way through this little episode, Belle has wall eyes, which made my siblings and I laugh so hard. Then, she and the Beast fight more over the letter... and later learn the meaning of forgiveness. How old are they??? Certainly old enough to know the meaning of forgiveness.Then, the next one's all about Lumiere being the world's biggest dope when it comes to romance. This coming from the man who could woo anything female. And they make FiFi a psychotic villainess who tries to kill Belle, and winds up getting off scotch-free by the end of it. What a message to send the kids!Then, the next one's all about Mrs. Potts being angsty. And the next one after that's all about Beast becoming overly possessive of a bird, to the point where he just seems downright silly.The animation's so ugly, it kills. There are at least 100 mistakes you can plainly see... and the coloring is awful.Belle's a simpering sap who blubbers whenever something goes wrong. Plus, she's petty and very different from the usual Belle.And the side characters are annoying... (I mean, Cogsworth and Lumiere fight almost all the time. I know they did that in the movie, but it was overdone in this.)But the worst character is Mrs. Potts. She's ruined in this. I can't even describe it. Just buy it and see for yourself.I give it a 1/10 for the sap, but I give it a 10/10 for comedy.
View MoreI didn't feel as if I'd been raped like I did with THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS,but BELLE'S MAGICAL WORLD is still the antithesis of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Like CHRISTMAS,BMW hates its audience,although not to such an extreme degree. It's ugly,uncanonical,idiotic,and the writing is horrifically bad.None of the stories work. These are not the characters we loved from BATB at all,they're a bunch of pod people. I wanted to dissect it,but after a few minutes,I gave up,because no one in their right mind would take this claptrap seriously. What we have here are three stories. "The Perfect Word" is an overbearing,ponderous study of forgiveness. "Fifi's Folly" only works if you can accept that Babette's name is actually Fifi and that she's a closet James Bond villainess and that Lumiere is an idiot concerning women. "Broken Wing" (or "Broken Wind" as I like to call it) is probably the most heinous of the bunch. Beast hates birds? Since WHEN? Don't watch this crap- every copy of this video deserves to be cremated. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is still a cinematic classic,a transcendent celebration of love,art, intelligence and the human soul.
