that right . under 9 on average and but maybe under 12 for some others . i be 11 when i originally saw this on video and at such youth i wasn not able to notice the shoddy cartoon quality or the fact that those classic character we have all grow to love be not the same or as good to see . just about everything be so 2d here . belle be and i will agree and not even beautiful but just a plain look woman with tinted skin and she wear the same bright blue dress all the way through with not one glamorous dress on and wardrobe be to say the least and annoy my ear may bleed if i have to listen to her everyday . lumiere and in both the original and the christmas edition be suave and elegant and but here he be a womanizing and unfunny twit . cogsworth and despite be the no nonsense housekeeper he be famous for and be a complete sh t and the most insufferable character i would say . he always seem to find shutting that unbearably grate pie hole of his very difficult in this one and whose clock face should really have be use for turn back in time to the unforgettable two film in this series . poor and poor mr potts be not bring to life by angela lansbury ( one of my favourite classic actress ) but by anne rogers who capture none of mr potts character and no offence to her . not if she do her best . when the beast roar it sound so horrifically fake with clearly no additional roar and snarl or growl by a microphone . i be aware that this be only a third feature follow two other film so of course it wouldn not be as good but i be sure that more of a contribution wouldn not have hurt the disney artist who and indeed and have achieve such remarkable style of animation over the year . it alright and i guess and and i do watch it sometimes though only when it suit me . it quite difficult to make a recommendation for you read this because it depend on how old you be but remember this will not at all be what you may expect follow the early spectacular movie . and to think that on my video of it the text on the back cover say boasting brilliant animation . it a nice little flick but for one thing it also highly poor and and for another and those 3 word ought to have be save for the next re release of the original .
