This was crap. If you want a live-action version that actually reinvents the story

That one? With 6.4 IMDB rating compared to Disney's live action one's 7.5 IMDB rating? You got to be trolling.

Yeah Yeah Yeah people are totally blind by that superartificial sweet atmosphere in disney BatB both versions or too crazy about Disney stories otherwise they would agree the movie you're talking about is not only more similar to the original as i have seen the original movie that was made in 1946 but also f*cking more emotional and with feel that didn't need bland songs but maybe it is just because they grew up with that Disney crazyness and don't get it's just a stolen idea from the original tales (as it is with many disney stories) and many people in Europe didn't grow up with crazy influence of Disney cause just 3-4 years before the cartoon was out we still had lived under the control of that nation called SSSR so we can adapt to the real story from France more as it is more real to it's original one it can actually work as a history tale with some kind of magic. Or maybe it is cause I hate Disney company (!! Not it's founder mr. Walt but the corporation that it is now) cause of my personal childhood favorite cartoon Happily ever after with Irene Cara that could have had another movie tales if Disney didn't make one company caled Filmation go bankgrupt.

I don’t understand why they didn’t just put the Broadway version to the screen if they were going to make it live-action.

I watched it and it was a super slow and boring movie.

Nah this version is miles better and Watson is perfect as Belle.
