I liked the 1991 version, especially Angela Lansbury and the title song.
I used to like the film myself. To some degree, I still do (I thought Beast was awesome in that flick), and Mrs. Potts was definitely sympathetic as intended.
However, that doesn’t change that there was plenty wrong with the 1991 film, many of them even being the same problems people complained about the 2017 film, especially the radical feminist bits.
