The flower has a key personal importance to Belle (which we’ll get to in a moment) and is why Maurice is held hostage he was caught taking one of the castle’s roses. This is representative of how it plays a more substantial part in the plot. There’s no “ten year” line in the remake and the time measure is simply dependent on the rose petals. For starters, the remake cuts out the long-cited age issue – in the animation, the Prince has until his 21st Birthday to find true love and, as the castle has been cursed for ten years, meaning the enchantress basically punished a precocious kid.
Beauty and the beast 2017 full movie plex series#
The curse that plagues the Beast is on-the-face-of-it as it always has been - find true love before the enchanted rose wilts - but through a series of little adjustments across the film becomes significantly more complex. Here’s the biggest you need to know about. Director Bill Condon has made some substantial changes to the provincial tale, especially in regards to the underlying motivations powering the characters. However, that’s not to say there aren't still some big differences in there. Moreso than any of the previous examples, Beauty and the Beast hews the closest to its original not only is the story broadly the same, but many of its narrative diversions are a beat-for-beat match. The Jungle Book is perhaps the most striking success, taking what was originally a series of musical vignettes and weaving a visually resplendent coming-of-age story. Alice in Wonderland was a wholly Burton take on Lewis Caroll, while Maleficent reframed Sleeping Beauty from the misunderstood villain’s perspective. Animation is a different form to live-action and storytelling thus needs to be approached differently, especially when it comes to pacing and length of sequences.
These aren't just straight redos, however, but attempts to modernize or otherwise find new depths to the stories.
Starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the ill-fated Prince (and a host of big names in supporting roles), the film is the latest in the Mouse House’s trend in readapting their biggest hits in glossy new form the enterprise began fully with Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and has been followed by Maleficent, Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Pete’s Dragon, with most other noteworthy favorites in some stage of development. This is only going to be compounded by the new live-action remake. Beauty and the Beast is a tale as old as time: Prince gets turned into monster by enchantress, meets beauty, they fall in love, the curse is lifted. And, like any classic tale, it's been defined by Disney the studio's 1991 animation is far and away the most famous adaptation of the French fairy tale, and in the twenty-five years since its monumental release has gone on to completely dominate how the story is perceived in the public consciousness.
