Beauty & the Beasts

About This Movie

So, 'Beauty & the Beasts' from 2021 is a curious little animated piece. It's got this offbeat charm that really stands out. The story dives into the odd romance between a lady and this gigantic, slimy, cheesy beast, which is quite a visual contrast. The animation style is quirky, almost reminiscent of early 2000s indie films, and that gives it a unique atmosphere. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it adds to the whimsical feel. The themes touch on acceptance and the beauty found in the unconventional. The practical effects, or at least the way they’ve created the beast, is rather impressive. It’s not something you see every day in animation, and the performances, though simple, carry a delightful warmth.
