D-Xirable Movie Time! Beauty and the Beast!

Hello, my wonderful and amazing loves!

Today, I got to hang out with my twiny/bestie, Ja, and my Godmother, Ms. Angie. We went to AMC Ward Parkway 14 and saw the movie, Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, and Luke Evans. Also starring Josh Gad, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Kline, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stanley Tucci, and Audra McDonald.

Movie Synopsis:

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a live-action re-telling of the studio's animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. Beauty and the Beast is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar (R) winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle's eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston's long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe (R) nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award (R) winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts. Directed by Oscar (R) winner Bill Condon based on the 1991 animated film, Beauty and the Beast.

The Whole Cast of Beauty and the Beast

Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, and Luke Evans as Gaston.

The movie was wonderful to watch and see. We all enjoyed it. My bestie and I even sung along. Lol! The cast did a lovely job singing the songs and bringing these characters to life. Emma Watson was the perfect Belle and Dan Stevens made a great Beast, and they had some great moments together. We loved Celine Dion's new Beauty and the Beast ballad, "How Does A Moment Last Forever". It's so beautiful! If you are a fan of the original movie, then I would suggest you see this version as well.

Hope you enjoyed the pics and post!

Love always,

Movie Synopsis:

The pressures of fame have superstar singer Noni Jean (played by the beautiful, Gugu Mbatha-Raw) on the edge, until she meets Kaz Nicol (played by the handsome Nate Parker), a young cop and aspiring politician. Drawn to each other, Noni and Kaz fall fast and hard, despite the protests of those around them who urge them to put their career ambitions ahead of their romance. But it is ultimately Kaz's love that gives Noni the courage to find her own voice and break free to become the artist she was meant to be.

Our new favorite song from the movie: Cynthia Erivo "Fly Before You Fall".
