Beauty and the Beast

This isn't my favorite movie from the legendary French poet and director Jean Cocteau.  Frankly, I liked Orpheus a lot more.  I think Disney's version is the best.  However, this movie was an obvious influence on Disney.  The costume design is one example. Without this movie, there would have been no Disney movie. It's just that I didn't particularly care for this Belle.  She was cold and snobby. It needed another view though.  It's been more than ten years since I've seen this movie.
