Hi guys, since I had already written my review as well as comparing both the 1991 and the 2017 versions. Here are my personal dislikes on the live action reboots as well as a number of things that I was not happy about the film, ready?
The Beast's Appearance
After reading many of the reviews and people on forums regarding the beast's appearance, I have to agree. He doesn't look very beastly enough, he looks more like a monkey with a goat's horns and a body of a bear! This is the main reason why I wasn't very happy at all, I prefer his 1991 animated appearance, with the exception of his human form, in which I got a crush on them. In particularly, both the live-action and his animated form!
Gaston's Ego
I was partially very happy that he initially did help Maurice, but as the story progresses. His ego tend to make him a psycho and short-tempered, if he wants to marry Belle, why would he want to threaten Maurice with these characteristic traits? A question that I tend to ask myself.
Monsieur D'arque
I was disappointed that he did not get much of screen moment, in fact I don't really know whether or not they deliberately did this out of respect to Tony Jay, the guy who voiced the namesake 1991 animated character who would later went on to voice Claude Frollo in the 1996 Hunchback of Notre Dame. I guess that this might be reason why!
Do You Agree?
Okay, here are my reasons on why I'm not very happy about the 2017 reboot. Do you agree?

Evermore
I first heard Josh Groban's rendition of this wonderful song, he nailed the song perfectly and I heard it played twice at the lobby at my hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam on way back to the airport twice.
Initially, I thought he was going to dub Dan Stevens,until I heard the latter. Prompting me to surprise and that he followed his Downton Abbey costar, Lily James who played the title character in the 2015 reboot of Cinderella.
How Does A Moment Last Forever?
Upon listening to this song by Celine Dion, I felt that this song really suits my personality as well as my relationship with my family.
I love how Maurice sang a short reprise at the beginning, it really explores his character more. This is something that I really cherish!
Which Way?
So, which of these 2 songs are your favourites?
1. Bergamasca (Marco Ucellini)
This music will be best, especially for the 3 classical princesses. It is very gentle and smooth when they dance with their princes.
2. Johann Strauss II's Waltzes
In fact, many of his waltz are quite popular and it would definitely be popular among the princesses themselves.
3. Joseph Lanner's Die Schonbrunner Waltz
Initially, I thought that it was compose by Strauss, but it is actually his rival Joseph Lanner.
4. Frederick Chopin's Waltz Music
I also love his music, his waltz is also another favourite for the Disney Princesses themselves.
A Toast!
Do you agree with my choice, if you do go ahead and listen to them.
