Hi guys, I know that I only a comparison of both the 1991 animated classic with its 2017 live-action reboot. So now, I'm going to write 3 versions of it which includes the Broadway Musical.
The 1991 Version
Since we all grew up with the animated feature, I feel that the story actually makes fall in love as it teaches about our inner strength. When I first saw this version many years ago, I was not terrified of the beast at all surprisingly and my favourite character at that time was Lumiere because he is a very interesting character and I would imitate him, especially candle arms.
The songs and musical scores are magical, thanks to Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. When I watched the film after so many years, I was very sad that Howard has passed on and didn't see the final film, prompting the other filmmakers to dedicate the movie in his memory.
The Broadway Version
I first heard about when I was part of the chorus of the musical version, and more about it on the 2002 DVD edition of the 1991 film that I bought the soundtrack in 2004.
I personally love to see the musical live and I would imagine watching it whenever I listen to the Broadway version soundtrack, I also saw the costumes on the internet and I immediately fell in love with it. Prince Adam's costume in the end looks like a matador costume!
2017 Version
The film, especially the costumes and the architecture are both of my personal most favourites. The one thing that I was not happy is the Prince's childhood portrait because it scared me the most!
Certain as the Sun!
So here are my personal opinions on the 3 versions, what do you think?

Greetings Dracula!
They Should Make a Vampire Princess
I personally think Disney should take the challenge to make a vampire princess, I mean we already have The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, The Twilight Saga and Anne Rice's vampire stories!
They could make the antagonist inspired from Elizabeth Bathory, in which she is a vain vampire throughout the movie!
The Shouldn't Make a Vampire Princess
It will probably intimidate young children, unless the directors watch Hotel Transylvania for inspiration to make it more family friendly.
Secondly, I hope that the movie is not going to be like the Twilight Saga.
Vampire or Not?
I have always wanted to see a vampire princess for a change, do you agree?

No one shows off his hairy chest like Gaston!
Gaston Gets Turn Into A Beast
This will happen during the climatic battle between the beast and Gaston, I would imagine that the Enchantress will magically appear and turn Gaston into a beast and Prince Adam back into human right in front of Belle!
The Magic Mirror
Since Belle have brought back the magic mirror, it could magically float in the air and review the Beast's true form in front of the mob, Gaston and Belle. Prompting the mob to disband and Gaston ultimately goes to the castle alone to fulfill his deadly mission!
What Do You Think?
So, only two make it through the cut. What do you think of them?
