AYRT—I don’t think the exaggeration of, hmm, the negative treatment of the heroine from the animated to the live action versions of Disney films is unique to Beauty and the Beast.

I remember being frustrated with the live action Cinderella because having raised a question the animated one never outright does—why does Cinderella not just leave her abusive “family” behind—her answer is that she can’t bring herself to leave the place her father/parents loved so much.

It felt... fake, like she should’ve been hiding another, less twee reason—depressed misery, anger, stubborness—behind that answer and the film was so committed to her being sweetness and light that there wasn’t room. Likewise Lady Tremaine’s outburst about why she hates Cinderella felt like shorthand, but it’s still way darker than anything said in the animated version.

And while Maleficent was a reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, both the very thinly veiled rape-metaphor of Maleficent herself, and the fact that Aurora’s mother dies and her father is a conniving madman are way darker than Disney’s animated version gets.

I would be very surprised if any of the new live action (for a given value of live, cough cough Lion King cough) movies end up lighter in tone or even as light as the Disney originals.

I don’t necessarily think Disney’s done a good job of inserting darker moments into their remakes, but Beauty and the Beast isn’t the only one it’s happened to.
