Someone commented on Youtube about the live action and animated.


He posted this comment;

"People realised an animated character only looks good animated right? When you get real actors to act like cartoon characters they are going to look very exaggerated, unnatural and cringy. You don't see Belle? You mean you don't see cartoon Belle, this is a completely different adaptation of the story and the character is going to be slightly different, what's the point of Emma being exactly like the original Bell? That's the same as watching the same movie twice. Being realistic means not being as expressive and animated as the original. So quit comparing her acting to the original and realise that they are two different movies using two completely different mediums."

This is the exact reason why I think people should stop negatively comparing the live action to the animated film.

If you want proof, its here and his name is WeiYinChan.

Honestly I grew to love the beast design. At first I was like HUH NO special makeup effects just motion capture(two types were used for the body and face).

Yep. Same here. According to Dan Steven's interview, he and Bill Condon wanted to make the beast more like a human trapped inside a beast. Hence why the Beast has more human features on his face and acts a little more like a human.
