I took my 5 year old daughter to see this when it first came out and she is quite the antsy one, but during this movie she sat there mesmerized the entire time with a huge smile on her face. She still dances around the house as Belle and singing the songs. For me of course the original animated movie that came out when I was 1 years old has a lot of meaning for me as I grew up with it and it is my favorite Disney animated movie. Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts in the animated film is just awesome. Also Emma Watson voice does not compare to Paige O'Hara, but Emma did a wonderful job. Dan Stevens, Ewan McGregor, Luke Evans, and Josh Gad were all fantastic. I also loved all the new additions to the musical numbers.
