Disney's Beauty and the Beast 2017.
Superb.
Having watched the original Disney 2D animation numerous times the new 2017 version manages to remain true to the original theme of the story, whilst catapulting it into outsnding 3D. The lighting is stunning and textures. materials and CGI lighting utterly convincing.
The editing pace, camera shots and story telling were efficient and action packed, and this is not simply a CGI visual $160 million experiment.
From a technical and production design vantage, the Baroque art direction managed to be stylised yet convincing and avoided any sense of pantomime. The colours of the opening ballroom scene reminded me of 'The Draftsman's Contract
The IBL lighting was inspiring and other than a couple of moments when the Beast was leaping across the towers, the CGI was invisible.
Absolutely brilliant film. Complete entertainment and CGI VFX and art direction craftsmanship..
