Tale as Old as Time
The 1991 Version
Since we all grew up with the animated feature, I feel that the story actually makes fall in love as it teaches about our inner strength. When I first saw this version many years ago, I was not terrified of the beast at all surprisingly and my favourite character at that time was Lumiere because he is a very interesting character and I would imitate him, especially candle arms.
The songs and musical scores are magical, thanks to Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. When I watched the film after so many years, I was very sad that Howard has passed on and didn't see the final film, prompting the other filmmakers to dedicate the movie in his memory.
The Broadway Version
I first heard about when I was part of the chorus of the musical version, and more about it on the 2002 DVD edition of the 1991 film that I bought the soundtrack in 2004.
I personally love to see the musical live and I would imagine watching it whenever I listen to the Broadway version soundtrack, I also saw the costumes on the internet and I immediately fell in love with it. Prince Adam's costume in the end looks like a matador costume!
2017 Version
The film, especially the costumes and the architecture are both of my personal most favourites. The one thing that I was not happy is the Prince's childhood portrait because it scared me the most!
Certain as the Sun!
So here are my personal opinions on the 3 versions, what do you think?
Beast!!
2017 Version
Hello all! Many apologies for running a bit behind on this one. The holidays are always chaos incarnate.
Cinderella was our Princess of the Month for December, and here is a collection of thoughts on why we adore her. Many thanks to those who submitted comments!
I absolutely love when Cindy's snarky side peeks through, like when she makes a quip about the "music lesson". It's adorable but also rounds out her character. <3 ~MaidofOrleans
She teaches me to DREAM BIG!!! ~deedragongirl
She is kind, hard-working, and a princess from my childhood that I still love today. ~LMH5113

Hello everybody! Felt that writing bug back in me, and the one article I've noticed I haven’t done yet is the Disney Princess movies of course! And with our latest addition Moana. Hope you all enjoy, after all these are just my opinions.

I don’t know why, but I’ve never really liked this movie. I’m not very knowledgeable on Scottish mythos or culture, so I was excited to see it, but it turns out that there just wasn’t enough magic in charm in it for me. I really liked that it was a classical story about a witch, a princess, and a spell, but going to the movie really...
