Beauty and the Beast

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Mar. 17, 2017 Hollywood
More is less in Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast — so much less that this crazily cluttered venture in industrial entertainment betrays the essence of what made the 1991 animated feature a beloved classic.

Whatever else it may lack, Disney's new live-action film, Beauty and the Beast, generates huge jolts of visual energy.
