This musical film of "Beauty and the Beast" is a good rendition of the 1740 French fairy tale by novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. The cast are not top star names. Their performances are okay, but nothing beyond the ordinary. The music is quite light, and with so few songs, one wishes that the filmmakers could have included more songs.
The production is very interesting and well laid out. It's a more contemporary version of the fable, but with very good sets, camera work and performances overall. The costuming is especially good for Beast. The movie was filmed entirely in Israel.
It's a decent family film that most children should enjoy.
