7/10
a delightful musical tale

This movie is a delightful live action musical rendition of the beauty & the beast tale. My family throughly enjoyed it, despite the obvious low budget production. Rebecca De Mornay does a great job as beauty (although I personally don't care for her singing voice) and John Savage is wonderful as Beast.

Possible spoiler**** I was especially impressed with the scene when Beauty dances with the statues. They were wonderful! No high tech, computer generated action here. Just old fashioned theater acting. It was terrific!

For those of you who enjoyed Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella movie with Leslie Ann Warren, you will enjoy this one. I'm waiting anxiously for this to come out on DVD!
