How is this even acceptable in a movie?
Forget the faggotry, change up the sexes and make LeFou's object of affection be some unattainable/disinterested woman.
They'd say it is offensive and presumptive that he should even impose himself on "her", let alone persist in such flirting after repeated rejection of advances.
And no complaining about being in the friendzone, just be happy that you are a friend and quit imposing your sexual desires on the relationship.
Am I right?
not taking kids to see a ‘man character’ prancing around in a dress and liking it-
I thought the film was for teens and adults, those who like musicals, those who saw the original in their younger days, and those who are in performing arts classes. Do primary aged kids watch musicals with live actors?
The original Disney animation is firmly a classic. They did use computer animation for the ballroom scene, which was considered a massive breakthrough in animation at the time. This new version is pervasively photorealistic computer animation, well done (with a few quirks which few will notice). The hand-drawn classic being being so famous, much of this one had to follow the same musical score, though there are a couple new songs worth revisiting.
To wit: this version is a faithful remake of the prior Disney foundational classic, featuring much of the same musical pageantry. It just takes the hand-drawn excellence and brings it into photorealistic rendering.
As for your mention of “Russian Ark”:
I watched that twice - once with my wife (who fell asleep 3 times), and once alone listening to the director’s commentary. It was a tour-de-force (single take, 2000 actors, extremely dynamic set), yet staggeringly boring. Today’s Beauty And The Beast is far more engaging.
You’ve seen it in many movies.
Heck, it was a staple of Looney Tunes.
That was a very minor character depicted for 1 second.
Don’t miss the 2 hour movie depicting classic Western values because of it.

prancing around in women’s clothing isn’t a ‘little thing’- and noone is ‘boycotting —everything— over —every little thing—
Sure as heck aren’t going to pay money for kids to have to see that crap- Don’t care what the rest of the movie was like- Disney tried pushing the envelope here- and it’s just going to get worse- They’ve lost a customer-
“Do primary aged kids watch musicals with live actors?”
They do now. It’s basically the same movie you & I knew way back when, just remade with better animation.

You’re missing out on 2 hours of good solid content because of 3 seconds of comedy.
And you regulate your life by the Old Testament in other ways, right? You don’t eat pork or shellfish, you never work on the Sabbath (Saturday), you don’t cut the hair on the sides of your head, and you never eat cheeseburgers.
PG of today doesn’t mean the same as PG of old.
No one wants a G rating for movies trying to bring in teens and young adults.
Planet of the Apes (original) had nudity, violence/action, and profanity and was still G.
There was a time when studios were adding profanity to get a PG or PG-13 rating, and other times when movies got a PG or even R because the subject was too boring (not even sexy, violent, or horrifying).

No I’m not- they introduced filth- period- regardless of ‘how quick it was’ - My life will be just as rich tomorrow after having not seen it as it is today- Not interested in compromising just to watch a cartoon
I’ve heard good things about that 1946 live action version.
But modern audiences hate subtitles and black and white and the pacing of old movies.
And the director was gay.

That’s the ONLY one everyone should watch!
Do you even know the fairy tale as it was written?
There are countless adaptations of this story. A new French adaptation just happened last year.
Is this better than the 1946 version? Better than the 1990s cartoon? In the top 5 versions?
I have no love for GAyBCDisney and neither would Walt. He’d be sickened by what’s become of his magic kingdom.
The View/Shrew is part of the daily face of a Disney product. That is a fact.
Thanks.
I’m not the audience for this film.
I may someday see the 1946 version (preferably in a movie theater and projected from film, your mind is affected differently by strobing still images in rapid successions than by video) and may still watch Russian Ark some day.
I doubt I would sit and watch the whole pencil test version of Beauty and the Beast but I have seen some pencil test segments (cut/unfinished) from Snow White.
Today’s SJWs will tell you that unrequited love is merely an imposition by an offensive person.
These same SJWs were OK with Bill Clinton dropping trou and demanding that some underling “kiss it” while he was Governor.
Heck NOW says that the first grope is free (if you have their back on abortion).
