Yeah, I was curious to see this, but it sounds too much like a cash grab. I'll see Kong instead.

Well, in the words of a great woman "bravo that was wonderful!" I of course was a lot less kind and would go so far as to say 2 out of 10 but I get where your coming from. Great review the stain glass homage was really clever. I also forgot to bring up the Don Hahn speech in the chat, glad you remembered it. Wonder what he thought, as Paige seems quite unimpressed.

2026-11-10 05:00 I asked this in the call, so now I ask to the rest of the Patrons; how does everyone else rank the 4 movies/things?

okay AniMat, you are NOT being fair to the creators of this by saying there's no way to portray a live action representation of the objects on screen....would you rather have had them not include the objects altogether?

Jack Zimmerman

Well... I LIKED it, but I still prefer the original, because it's timeless.

Kim Lechman

I agree with that score, I also would've accepted a 7/10, because I don't think this was bad remake. It was a decent remake that tries to capture that same feeling of the original, but fails to do so, because it didn't have the right people for the job. Also, I feel like I'm the only one who didn't hate Emma Watson as Belle. I mean, yes, she is definitely no Paige O'Hara, but I don't think she was that bad either. Also, about her being in La La Land, she wasn't fired from the movie for being too picky, she voluntarily left the movie, because she was already committed to Beauty and The Beast, and found it frustrating to do both at the same time. Here's a link to prove that statement so hopefully that clears that up. <a href="http://ew.com/movies/2017/03/10/emma-watson-la-la-land-rumors/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://ew.com/movies/2017/03/10/emma-watson-la-la-land-rumors/</a>

Well Cinderella was the best, followed VERY closely by Jungle Book. I guess Pete's Dragon is alright, Maleficent and the two Alice films are tied as garbage, and this might be lower. I mean its both terrible and forgettable in equal measure, and the fact its a remake of a perfect film makes it worse.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Eh, I don't believe her. Over the last few month's I've learned that she's made a few comments I can't fully believe. Its PR, even if it was real she wouldn't say it was.

Kim Lechman

I'm just putting that out there, because don't be surprised if people give Mat flake for not realizing that statement. Besides, she's not a bad person. I saw her do some great things this year, like for the woman's rights awareness where she left books at famous statues dedicated to women's rights.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

I'm not going to argue but let's just say I don't see eye to eye with her. She's hardly a psycho third wave feminist, but she apparently hates voice acting and has a huge superiority complex. Ask Jami.

Kim Lechman

I totally understand what you're saying, I just know from experience that picking at a celebrity with a huge fan falling can cause a lot of chaos and controversy, so all I'm saying is just be very careful.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

That's true, but sometimes the person is really not worthy of the fanfare. I mean how many of those fans really did any research on her beyond I LOVED HERMONIE! Hence why I am always pretty timid when I pick a celebrity I really like, Paige O'Hara is one of those people. Speaking of, she was pretty excited for this remake, going so far as to say that Emma was perfect. She's not said a whole lot since then and the few comments she makes about the animated film are... well... she said it looked nice and had a good cast. A few days ago she added she wishes future remakes have more of a Broadway cast. I don't think she liked it.

Kim Lechman

There are people out there who are stupid and simple minded and think one thing is the greatest thing, and anyone who dares to hate on them will get flack for it. That's my whole point to this.

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Oh I know what that's like Kim, you should see the comments on Doug Walkers review of the movie. A decent amount of people angry he didn't like it, or Harry Potter that much. I mean come on, its his opinion, he's not forcing you to hate it.
