Animated films often have much longer periods of pre-production than live-action films, meaning that the film that gets produced is often very different than the initial concepts.
Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney’s most beloved animated films, which is a large part of why it’s seeing a live-action remake.
Beauty and the Beast was no exception to this rule.
However, as much as people love the original and Oscar-winning animated version, there’s a lot people don’t know about what went into making it.
