Saw Beauty and the Beast with my dad!
snowbogan
It was fun. I didn't rewatch the animated version so I wouldn't compare them too much, so I enjoyed myself.
snowbogan
(.....But I might go rewatch the original later.)

Emma Watson was fine, though....not exactly a strong singer. Possibly something that should be taken into account when casting, Disney.
snowbogan
LeFou was also fine! Honestly he had a better character arc than anyone else, even including the Beast. But the sole actualy Gay Content in the movie was like, five seconds.
snowbogan
So, you know, overhyped.
snowbogan
I wish they'd spent more time developing the romance, but I did buy what we got, the emotions rang true to me.
snowbogan
Belle's mom angst ended up feelings tacked on, but it got me anyway.
SPOILER ALERT
reportedly the Gay Moment was leaked more or less accidentally
snowbogan
I'm not sure how much I buy that tbh
snowbogan
I mean.....Disney
SPOILER ALERT
I buy it mostly because I know how much Disney likes Not Taking a Stance
July, July
Nah, they've been including LGBTQ+ for few years now.
July, July
Very Carefully because Disney, but they've been sprinkling it in gradually in their shows.
SPOILER ALERT
huh
@ weallfloat
josh gaad is one of my fave actors so it pleases me to hear this re: le fou!
snowbogan
He was camp without being cringey and he totally nailed LeFou's moments of "....fuck this dude is worse than i thought"
SPOILER ALERT
Yeah LeFou was awesome!
SPOILER ALERT
The gay was weaksauce but he was great
snowbogan
I honestly cheered when he caught Mrs. Potts
snowbogan
(I also didn't think the effects there were TOO bad)
SPOILER ALERT
Me too 
snowbogan
I hope they stay friends and she encourages him and Stanley
