Did a senior thesis on Cocteau back in undergrad. This is probably tied with Orpheus as my favorite of his.

Haven't we done these questions before? It feels familiar.

1️⃣ Beauty and the Beast (the original French tale)
2️⃣ Carabosse
3️⃣ Peau d'Âne (the 1970 version with Jean Marais)
4️⃣ @Jabberwocky @FantasyChick @dixi_e @BookishTrish

1️⃣ I like the original Hansel and Gretel. People get abandonned and eaten. The works.
2️⃣ Meh?
3️⃣ Beauty and the Beast with Ron Pearlman and Linda Hamilton was great, until the last season. Then it turned bad.
4️⃣ Everyone will say Princess Bride, but Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête (1946) still remains the best ever made, closely followed by Peau d'Âne (1970), both starring Jean Marais, btw!
5️⃣ Carabosse

TheKidUpstairs LOVED that Beauty and the Beast tv show! 7y
tournevis @TheKidUpstairs The original, not whatever it was they tried to do a few years ago. That one was a disaster. 7y

All bundled up and ready to see the stage production of Beauty and the Beast in the outdoor Elizabethan Theater at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival! It's the last night of the outdoor season and the first show I've seen here in almost a decade--I spent my childhood going to these shows. But this time, my sneaked-in hot chocolate has a little something extra in it... 😏

mrozzz It really looks amazing! 7y
Crystalblu I used to go all the time! I grew up in Ashland! 7y
RadicalReader @Natasha.C.Barnes what a stunning remarkable looking house where anyone and everyone would like to reside 7y

Natasha.C.Barnes @mrozzz And that's the just basic theater structure in the dark--by the time they put up the lights so we could see the stage we had to have our phones off. 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Crystalblu Yeah me too-we talked about that before! 😄 we used to bring sleeping bags when I was little. Now I'm not sure how, they seem like they would have made a ton of noise. 7y
Cinfhen 💕😊 7y
Centique Wow, wow! And that hot chocolate sounds awesome ☕️ One of my favourite experiences was an outdoor Shakespeare production we went to in Sydney. It was A Midsummers Night Dream and we followed the cast through the gardens! 7y
Liz_M :-o so jealous! 7y

After seeing the new Beauty and the Beast in theatres three times I thought I'd put my French skills to some use and take a crack at the original. (I'm actually reading the Villeneuve version, which was first, but doesn't appear to be in Litsy's system.) So far it's an enjoyable endeavor! #amreading

It lived up to the hype. I cried basically through the whole thing & was a puddle by the end. Such a sweet memory with my older daughter. (Younger daughter saw it today with a friend.) #BeautyAndTheBeast #beenwaitingsince1991 #iambelle #iamalsohermione #basicallyiamemmawatson

Received my degree yesterday so I celebrated with my parents by going see Beauty & the Beast. It was amazing. Not perfect but wonderful all the same, and frankly, seeing Be Our Guest in 3D is worth anything. Also Luke Evans as Gaston is everything. But am I the only one who was disappointed by the library? 📚✨ #beautyandthebeast

slategreyskies Congratulations!!! 🎊🎈🍾🎉 8y
mcipher Yay! Congrats - and what a good idea for celebration. I loved the library, what didn't you like about it? 8y

teebe @mcipher the moment seemed less poignant in this version. One point is the moment he gives her the library is one of the turning points in their relationship, and it's visually represented as the library is literally a light spot in a dark castle. In this new one, they made it much darker. There's more to it- I could do an entire analysis on the library in Beauty & the Beast- but I basically didn't like how they handled it. 8y
mcipher @teebe I can totally see that now that you say it! I *knew* I should have rewatched the original before I went, but I ran out of time!! I probably would have been crankier about a lot though. 8y
