I've always been someone who enjoys the realism that the darker emotions bring. I enjoyed the original story of Beauty and the Beast much more than the sugary retellings. nikkivanderhoof@gmail.comNikki Vanderhoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212223679631767567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193602818233004313.post-66486385074820451872017-03-16T23:48:00.527-04:002017-03-16T23:48:00.527-04:00I saw most of the earlier Disney Beauty and the Be...I saw most of the earlier Disney Beauty and the Beast, but we'd taken our three kids to the cinema and the youngest one was scared, so I missed the much-anticipated ballroom scene! As a kid I didn't even like fairytales - they always seemed either gratuitously sweet or graduitously dark. But I did learn to like them as I grew up, and I like the message that physical beauty might not be what really matters in Beauty and the Beast.Sheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.com
