Ummm. The prince isn’t a beast really. He’s human and was cursed to look ugly. The lesson on the hundreds of years old story is that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Good for Malaysia, though. It’s their country and their children.

Eh, personally, I think that was a rather stupid lesson to learn/give out. After all, Jean-Paul Sartre and how he treated women rather awfully and they fell for him despite his ugly exterior and even uglier character showed how not judging books by covers may actually be bad in the long run (besides, judging books by covers actually does allow for some survival skills. Like the poison dart frog, where it has those bright colors specifically to tell others to stay away from it because of its toxicity).

Still, good job for Malaysia.

The original fairy tail had bell interested in books for the “can’t judge book by its cover”

Even the non Disney varients carried that theme with becoming more worldly.

instead we have a one trick actress bs-ing a 20th century feminist as a save all. Look for public service nonsense ads pushing bell/Watson as an “inventor”.

It is not just the production costs, it is the ad costs, and distribution costs. also movies now show on THOUSANDS of screens the first weekend in order to try and beat the social media blast.

seriously save your money, http://www.themoviespoiler.com it will publish this and you can read in two minutes for free instead of wasting money.

footnote: trivia the traditional wedding march is based on this story “Here comes the beast, prepare the feast...”
