Because Beauty and the Beast is just now in the theaters, the first portion of this review will be spoiler-free and will give you a warning before we talk specifics and spoilers as if you don't know how Beauty and the Beast goes.

You're listening to Once, Episode 283, Beauty and the Beast, review. Welcome back to another episode of Once, the unofficial podcast for ABC's TV show, Once Upon a Time.

I'm Daniel J. Lewis.

I'm Jeremy Loughlin.

And we are happy to bring to you a review of the new movie, Beauty and the Beast by Disney. This is the 2017 version, not the 1991 version, but before we get into talking about some of the specifics of the movie, because the specifics could be considered spoilers. We'll just talk generally here.

were better and I wish there were only a couple more songs than this movie is totally

Did I sum that up properly? You summed up your thoughts properly, I'm quite sure. I would agree with that pretty specifically, yes. So what did you think

in general, Erin? I really enjoyed it. I have very minimal critiques or complaints about it.

I really enjoyed what they did with it.

I thought that kind of everything was great.

The acting, the singing, the sets, the costumes.

Yeah, it was just amazing.

I agree.

I enjoyed it, but I felt like the moments when it deviated from the original, I felt a little bit more engaged, I suppose.

But a lot of the time, it was like, you knew what was going to happen next. If you

ever saw, or if you grew up with the, I should say, original animated, I don't know if the

story had ever been made into a movie before that or not, now that I think about it.
