My company is sponsoring a viewing of the live-action Beauty and the Beast movie on the 18th! Excited, but withholding opinions until afterwards, as I don't want to be set up for something wonderful and leave disappointed. While I really liked Maleficent, I felt Aurora was weak and brought down the film. Cinderella is....beautiful but boring still, while Jungle Book stands as the best live-action remake yet. They truly fleshed out the story and added genuine suspense, danger, death and sense of belonging.
The B&B merchandise has been disappointing given the ubiquitous or manly facial molds for Belle aka Emma Watson. Loving the costumes for all parties though, and I bought the Fashion Collection Belle Target Exclusive doll simply to get the Castle Grounds dress. I lucked out and got it 25% off too. I like Luke Evans, but his Gaston doll didn't quite capture his face, although he's still stunning product wise. Sadly, he's pricey since Disney bundled him with the village man-Belle.
I do want the costume accessories for the film but Disney priced them twice as much as normal so I'm holding out for a sale.
