Beauty and the Beast Teaser Trailer Reaction

Hey Guys

Hope everyone is okay, this is a bit of a spur of the moment blog post but I wanted to express my reaction to the live action Beauty and the Beast trailer that dropped today and what I think.

First off I like Disney live action films though I have only seen two of them because I think they only work for the right kind of Disney film. The two I have seen are Maleficent which I liked at the time but not a huge fan of because I did not like the twist it took on the Sleeping Beauty story but Angelina Jolie is amazing as Maleficent. The other one is live action Cinderella which I absolutely adore and my love for this film is a blog post within itself.

Here is a link for the Beauty and the Beast Trailer the film is out on 17th March 2017 (too long !!!!)

Trailer

First point is the music in this trailer is absolutely phenomenal and the traditional music you associate with Beauty and the Beast.

The castle has this eeriness to it but is equally as stunning as it shows how beautiful it is but at the same time how much to ruin it has been left. It transitions beautifully from beautiful castle to left for ruin.

We get first feel of the beast with a growl but we don't actually see him also first time hearing Ewan McGregor as Lumiere with a very questionable French accent and Sir Ian McKellen as Cogsworth but once again darkness. There is no hint of Gaston or Le Foe or Mrs Potts.

The biggest thing of all is we get to see the iconic red rose and we get to see the lady herself Emma Watson as Belle.

This very much a teaser trailer it is still completely shaded in mystery but has shown us enough to get everybody hooked into it and gives you that Disney magic that we all know and love in a different way.

This trailer gave me goosebumps and made me cry a little bit with happiness because I love Beauty and the Beast and it is one of my favourite Disney films and to see it be bought to life will be magical. I think this is going to be an amazing film and I can't wait to see a bit more when the actual trailer comes out whenever that may be so we can see the other characters because there is such an array of acting talent in this film.

Hope you have enjoyed this blog post

Review- Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour

This weekend I went and watched the tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I’ve not seen this show before but it has been on my list for a long time. I’d only heard one or two songs before so I was going in with no ideas of what it was like and I found it very enjoyable. Background This is based on the true story of 16 year old Jamie New who dreams of being a drag queen as well as wearing a dress to his prom. Throughout the show we see Jamie go through a journey of self discovery which has so many highs and lows. Along the way we meet people who are and aren’t supportive of his dream and how much prejudice he has to contend with. The show first opened on the West End in 2017 and is currently on its second UK tour. Cast The cast of this show were fabulous, unfortunately didn't get to see Ivano Turco play Jamie, Finton Flynn was incredible in those red heels. He portrayed the emotion of playing Jamie perfectly as well showing the young silly ...

Wallace Collection: Inspiring Walt Disney

Earlier this month I booked tickets to see the new Inspiring Walt Disney exhibition at the Wallace Collection in London. This is about how French design inspired Walt Disney in his films especially Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. The exhibition is located on the bottom floor of the building, and you can either pre book your slot or pay when you get there. There is also an optional digital tour guide and head set for free, which I did pick up but struggled with the headphones so ended up listening to bits I wanted to as opposed to the whole exhibition. I would recommend picking up one if you have time and you are really interested in the animation side, as they speak to the animators at Disney and how they produced the various ideas for the films. The exhibition starts with a quote from Walt Disney on the wall. It then goes into how Walt visited Europe for holidays and to gather visual references for his films. There was a black and white film of Walt and his family on holiday in P...

Carrie Hope Fletcher Book Signing

Hey Guys On Monday 12th September I attended Carrie Hope Fletcher's book signing for her fiction book On The Other Side at the Glee Club in Birmingham. This is the second time I have met Carrie and once again she was an absolute pleasure to listen too. I attended this event on my own, and I must stay that I think the Glee Club and the Waterstones team planned and hosted the event so well considering there was 350 people that turned up to this event and each one of those people had bought a ticket and a book. We were seated quite early as doors opened at 6 and I was in a seat by 6:30 with the event starting at 7, however there were people who turned up 10 minutes before the event and had to stand up because of all the seats that were taken which gives you an idea of how many people attended this event. Before the signing of the actual books, there was a 40 minute question and answer session with a representative from Waterstones asking Carrie questions about her book, being...
