Over the past few years we’ve on and we have a lot more to worry about— seen remakes of The Jungle Book, Snow White, but should we really let all that get in the way Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and—my favorite of of true joy? Can you remember the last time all—Beauty And The Beast . Truth be told, the you were truly happy? I can’t. Because, now- only ones I watched were The Jungle Book and adays, whenever I am happy, it’s never long- Beauty And The Beast . The former, because it lasting because I am always thinking about seemed like a good movie (which it was) and work assignments or schoolwork or other the latter because it was one of my favorite things I need to take care of .
