Jenny Nicholson also made a hilarious vid when this came out

I love Jenny! She was recommended through Lindsey's videos and I'm so glad I found her.

I don't hate the movie as much as most people, but it does bother me that she leaves her yellow dress on the side of the road and gallops off to save Beast in her underdress thing. If it was that important for her to be in less fancy clothes she could have changed before she left lol.

I love her videos and I was SO happy when this one popped into my subscriptions. I could honestly talk about things I dislike about this remake for hours and Lindsay covered a lot of it. She didn't tell a single lie.

I understand it wasn't the focus of this particular video, but one thing that bothers me about this movie is the visual style. How can you make a fantasy movie with basically an unlimited budget, guaranteed box office success, and access to all of the most talented people in the world look so bland? It might honestly be the most disappointing thing about this movie for me (after Emma's horrendous singing and acting).

I just hated how much you could hear the autotune during Belle. like T-Pain is subtle compared to that, except T-Pain can also actually sing without it, I don't know if Emma Watson can.

omg that was soooooooo bad she sounded like a totally computer generated voice

I just watched this lol. Yep, she was spot on when she said this movie tried to address / "fix" nitpicks of the original and "plot holes" that didn't need to be fixed.

It was so drab and, like she said, cynical. The animated movie isn't even my fave Disney movie but it's a PERFECT movie from a cinematic and storytelling standpoint and absolutely deserved its Best Picture nod.
