Beauty and the Beast, by Disney, has just broken all sorts of box office records this past weekend.
Another Disney accomplishment among many.

Although as usual Hollywood has dumbed it down and made it saccharine from the originals,

Although me and the kids enjoyed the cartoon and this film looks like pretty much a straight copy from that.

Yes, and Disney studios are big into stereotypes, wolves are always ugly, mean and nasty, nothing like Mowgli's wolves.

Very saccharine wolves tho' and I note that the baddies frequently appear to be English.

And in the Disney movies they never catch and eat their victims, but that is realistic, as real wolves don't have even a 50% kill rate, just enough to survive.

When they don't go saccharine they can be marvellous, like Maleficent.
