Viewers generally relish the 2017 adaptation of 'Beauty and the Beast' for its enchanting visuals, stunning costumes, and the vibrant portrayal of characters, especially by Emma Watson as Belle. The film's musical numbers, both classic and new, add a delightful touch, though some find them less memorable. The inclusion of more diverse characters and deeper backstories enhances the narrative, making the characters more relatable and the setting more authentic. However, some purists feel the movie leans too heavily on its animated predecessor, lacking originality in its execution.

👍 Enhanced visuals and deeper character backstories.

👎 May feel overly derivative of the original animation.
