Beauty and the Beast: A Reign Begins

In this episode, we talk about Beauty and the Beast talking about its origins as the first Disney musical, the changes they made from the animated movie and whether a Disney story from the 90’s has to be feminist.

Yes, we know about the National tour next year it was announced the DAY AFTER we recorded.
