It has a palpable veneer of contempt with itself, which I enjoyed. Visually and emotionally identical experience to a Kinkade painting. I’ll give Disney $17 again if they double down on the cgi dwarves and make a spinoff.

it's by a company called golden films, which made (makes?) cheap knock-offs of every disney movie. the one i'm referring to is like 45 minutes, was released in 1997, and is truly awful. the animation looks like ass and there's lots of odd little changes to keep it distinct from disney's version and avoid copywright infringement. instead of enchanted furniture, we get 3 ghosts in this movie who float around and haunt the beast. they are canonically the ghosts of 3 of the peasants who died because the prince refused to help them when there was like a drought or something. the music was absolutely banging though, a few original songs that are shockingly good and the rest was all tchaikovsky music. that was clearly a move to save money by using public domain tracks but tchaikovsky was a musical genius so it works. the voice acting is crazy and there's this hilarious scene where the beast falls down a flight of stairs that is so dramatic. craziest thing about this is that i preferred this movie to the disney version. i actually threw out our disney version vhs tape because i only wanted to watch this one. as an adult i was fortunately able to find a dvd copy of it at a dollar store and i have made so many of my friends watch it with me. highly recommend.
