They really owe a lot to the Muppets for the “we’ve got to put on this show to save the theater!” plot.

I have to wonder what it’s like to experience this one fresh. It felt weird whenever one of the new songs started playing. I wonder if anyone who saw this before they saw the original would be able to tell which songs were new and which were old?
I think they should have tried a bit harder; there were several places where the auto-tune was far too noticeable.

Maybe the subtlety got lost in translation during the dub to English; but it really doesn’t seem like the beast gives Belle very much of a reason to love him at all. The entire movie is her going, “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! OK I love you now.” the end. If he actually was gradually winning her over, I missed it.
