What a wonderful tribute! Every singer and dancer was exquisite. Every set and costume was beautiful. And the whole production was a wonderful mix of media between the animation and the live action.
By letting us see the most important segments of the film between the live numbers, we really got to experience the whole romantic story again.
I especially appreciated the tribute to Angela Lansbury. She was an especially important part of the musical history and a much beloved actress. Their acknowledgement of her was brief but lovely.
Josh Groban and H. E. R. Deserve particular accolades for their wonderful performances. They were perfect as Beauty and the Beast. And having Rita Moreno as the narrator/host felt like having American musical royalty on hand.
My husband is already asking when we can watch this again.
