Not sure when this was announced but I stumbled upon this today. What does everyone think? Will it be a "hit" or a "miss"

I'm thinking Big Hit. And we all thought BOG ADRs were tough to get now. Guess we ain't seen nothin' yet!

I saw this, this morning! I am so excited about it! But on the other hand I am super bummed about it, lol...its being released the day we leave for Disney! So I asked my hubby what he thought the chances were for us to be able to get tickets to the AMC in Disney Springs to see it...his words exactly..."what are you nuts! Its Disney, on top of Disney, on top of Disney, no way are we even going to go near that movie theatre!" LOL oh well, guess I will just have to wait until we come home from our trip to see it...on the up side of things now I will be able to look forward to going home instead of being bummed about leaving Disney, LOL

Your predicament is THE definition of a good problem to have! Enjoy your trip!
 


I'm also thinking this will be a big hit, certainly. Other live action Disney classics like "The Jungle Book" did very well and because "Beauty and the Beast" is such an iconic story loved by millions, it's destined to do well. I'll definitely be in attendance next March!
 
Just saw it! NFL will be crazy again! I was looking forward to Frozen moving to Epcot. :rotfl2:
 
I think it'll be a HUGE hit!! I'm personally SO excited for it, I can't wait! I love Emma Watson and I feel like she's going to be perfect. I never thought about the impact this will have on BOG though, lol...that's going to be a nightmare!
 


I'm really looking forward to the movie release, Beauty & the Beast (the original) is one of my all time favourites.:cloud9:
However there are some things I'm slightly circumspect about :
-First and foremost, Emma Watson as Belle just doesn't work for me. She's Hermione and always will be so I have a hard time believing in her as other characters in every movie she's been in. Moreover her singing, while not being totally awful, is still seriously underwhelming.:charac2:
-Belle's yellow ball gown doesn't have the Whompf! effect it should have. It's the most disappointing costume in the movie, that makes me really sad.:sad1:

But here are some things I REALLY love :
-Luke Evans as Gaston. He's so sexy! I'll have to suspend my disbelief : why would Belle pick Dan Stevens (who's handsome alright) over a hot hairy jock? Dunno.:rolleyes1
-Plumet's design as a feather duster. Simply gorgeous!:lovestruc
-The design of all the furniture (Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts etc.) is outstanding!:dogdance:
-The casting of black actors. I love diversity!:rainbow:
 
Sorry some of the things I mentioned aren't in the trailer but here :
I know you're going to REALLLY enjoy that.:lovestruc
 
Did anyone go see the preview at DHS? I was blown away and almost cried it was so fantastic!
 
I saw the preview at DCA. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this next month. The opening sequence was great, but I too keep thinking of Emma Watson as Hermoine.
 
I am so excited for this movie! I have no doubt that this will be a hit, since the other recent live-action Disney films have been based on films much less popular (Pete's Dragon, Jungle Book) than Beauty and the Beast, and have been successful. Beauty and the Beast is the favorite of so many people that it's no surprise how many theaters are already sold out for the first showings. I also agree that it's hard to get Hermione out of your mind when you see Emma Watson in the trailers, especialy if you are a major Harry Potter fan, but I'm thinking that after a few minutes of watching the new movie we'll be immersed and start to see her as Belle.
