As much as I love Belle and Beauty and the Beast, I could not bring myself to like this sequel. For one thing, the animation is off. Belle and the Beast facial expressions are no where what they were in the previous two films.
The mini-story plots are too predictable and poorly written. Belle is much too petty, while the Beast is too aggressive. The only plus side is the two solos, Belle gets to sing: "Listen With Our Hearts," and "A Little Thought." Both are well written songs, in which Belle gets to convey to the audience the importance of forgiveness, understanding and perspective. The three (four/Special Edition) stories each have a moral, but just don't measure up to other two films.
At least most of the original cast is reprising their role, except for Chip and Mrs Potts. Needless to say, for true Beauty and the Beast fans, this film is worth watching at least once.
