A little while ago, I stumbled upon a movie sitting on a shelf in a store. It was called Belle. It caught my attention, because at that time I was getting my flood of ideas about my own Beauty and the Beast story. So I rented it at the library.
The timeline was hard to follow, and some parts were confusing. But the music was so great. And some of the scenes were done with really powerful emotion. Belle's design is beautiful too.
I think the songs were the main selling point for me. Especially "A Million Miles Away." That last part is sung so amazingly. My Dad heard it, and having no idea what was going on in the movie, said that her voice was like honey. And amazingly the English singer matches the Japanese singer's tone really well. Apparently they chose both voice actors while the movie was being made, instead of making the English dub much later.
Nicole wondered if the American version of the movie is censored. And it seems like she has to be right, though I wasn't able to find anything about it. It really seems like Kei is getting kicked during that one scene. Unless maybe he's anticipating getting hit? Poor kids.
The little brother was the first person to like Belle!
