This is an easy one.
Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast is a magnificent entertainment.
Watching the film, and when you've time, venturing into the extras, gives you the feeling that everyone involved loved being a part of this project.
Based upon the 18th century fairy tale by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, this 2017 production is a gorgeously produced affair.
Quite different from the Cocteau take on the tale, produced in 1946, this one is all-singing and all-dancing, with Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, and Luke Evans in the leads, presumably doing their own singing -- a novel approach. And in color.
The new Blu-ray, taken from the 2k data files is perfect in every regard, with audio in DTS-HD MA, filling your home theater with its 7.1 mix.
Perfect entertainment, and a gloriously perfect Blu-ray release.
As to what the future may hold, rumor has it that this live action film, which has been wonderfully combined with layers of digital work, may graduate to both an animated feature as well as a Broadway musical.
Keep in mind that you heard that here first!
