beauty and the beast

This is one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid! On par with Digimon! The first cartoon that I came into contact with started singing as soon as I disagreed, and it was dubbed in Chinese. Thinking about it now, the dubbing at that time was really conscientious: all the lyrics were translated in rhyme, and they were not the original sound + subtitles, but were actually sung. I can still recall in my mind the strong voice of the person who snatched the relatives and sang: Beauty~girl~Bei~er! ! ! ! The movies/animations I saw later were rarely so refined. The first time I saw that I started to sing in English when I spoke half Chinese, and it was very dramatic. The voice acting of different characters also has their own characteristics. Of course, because it is for children, they all use beautiful voices and are in line with "national conditions". For example, the voice of the teapot Ma Ma is very kind and gentle. Plus the story, while generally old-fashioned, isn't very old-fashioned either. The villain is not bad enough, and the decent is not so good. Even the origins of the pros and cons are diametrically opposed to other similar films. So here it is! I love this animated movie so much~ Just watched a live-action version last night, Emma and the Beast had a snowball fight. Emma secretly observed the beast, she was shy and didn't know where to put her hands. This paragraph is quite a restoration of the cartoon, but I found that if the real person restores the movie according to the animation's actions, it really feels exaggerated...
