"Beauty and the Beast": A Look At The Trailer
YouTube

Disney finally pulled back the curtains on its full trailer for the live action adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast." After watching it, I was compelled to go back and watch the 1991 animated classic. What I found is that this trailer really proves how committed Disney is to translating the story to live action, instead of altering its tone.

Emma Watson pulls off the wonder and grace of Belle. We see glimpses of her in some of the most memorable scenes, from singing "Belle" on the hilltops to the final fight between Gaston and The Beast. I'm excited to see what she brings to the character and how her singing holds up. There's a couple quick shots of Luke Evans as Gaston, who's now sporting some facial hair. Also standing next to him is Josh Gad, who I believe is PERFECT casting for LeFou. I think his comedic acting and voice just perfectly match up with the original characters' personality. I'm excited to see Gad and Evans on screen together.

Something that the internet has been losing its mind about is the use of CG in this film. While I agree that it doesn't look perfect, I'm loving the idea of Ewan McGregor playing Lumière. The housewares brings to life the charm of Beasts' castle, so I have faith it'll be done right. The Beast, played by Dan Stevens, needed to be CG in my opinion. The first shot we see of him in the dungeons is proof. Belle brings the candle up to his face to get a better look at him, and you see the anger and confusion on his face. Only through motion capture technology is that sort of facial expression possible; it wouldn't have looked right with practical makeup and facial masks.

Much is still unknown, and we haven't heard even a line of the music being performed by these actors, but I'm hopeful. They've got an all star cast, and the sets look grand and epic. If "Cinderella" and "Jungle Book" were any indication, I think we're in good hands.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
