Well, here it is. The first teaser for the live-action remake of one of the great animated films of all time. And Disney sure is milking it, aren't they? Playing that iconic Alan Menken score that's bound to bring back childhood memories of every kid who grew up in the 90's, or today's millennials- the same ones who made Jurassic World such a monstrous hit because they liked hearing that John Williams score again too. This will of course be a megahit, but there's something off about its very existence. Every inch of it is intended to make you recall the cartoon, and none of it will live up to that film in any way, which everyone already knows but doesn't care about. Can't wait to see the teaser for the all CG Lion King that plugs "Circle of Life," and eventually The Little Mermaid that plays the first notes of "Part of Your World." You guys know you can actually go back and watch these old movies, right? On its own terms, Emma Watson is a nice person but has always been a really terrible actress (and Belle was not British), and what on earth is Ewan MacGregor doing with that Lumiere voice? Yikes.
