Beauty and the Beast

Memorable, classic songs highlight this entertaining, charming, delightful, colorful, romantic, family-oriented, 129-minute Disney musical remake of the 1991 animated film in which a gorgeous French bibliophile (Emma Watson), who lives with her tinkering widowed father (Kevin Kline) in a small idyllic village and is tenaciously pursued by a smitten narcissist (Luke Evans) who hangs around with his best friend (Josh Gad), is initially kept prisoner in a foreboding, dark castle by a once-arrogant prince (Dan Stevens) who was turned into a beast by a seemingly haggard enchantress (Hattie Morahan) after he rejected her red rose and finds herself falling for the heart of the beast with the help of a fiery candelabra (voiceover by Ewan McGregor), an ornate mantle clock (voiceover by Ian McKellen), a motherly teapot (voiceover by Emma Thompson) and her chipped teacup son (voiceover by Nathan Mack), a singing wardrobe (voiceover by Audra McDonald), a harpsichord (voiceover by Stanley Tucci), and a peacock feather duster (voiceover by Gugu Mbatha-Raw).
