Belle and the Beast

CFDb Review!
One of my favorite movies – great story, very similar to Beauty and the Beast with a Christian theme. This film makes me laugh and cry, a real treat! This film also makes me want to live as a better witness for Christ. Belle was a great example of true Christianity in action. Check out the CFDb Blog about this film.
Film Synopsis:
Eric Landry is a cold-hearted man that people have nicknamed “the Beast.” Years of anger and bitterness have consumed him, turning him into a selfish man. But Belle Watson is the exact opposite. She’s caring and kind. She works hard to help her family, often sacrificing her own wants and desires to satisfy the needs of others.
When her father accidentally breaks a valuable work of art at the Landry mansion, Belle is thrust into the life of the Beast. Trying her best not to be intimidated by his meanness, Belles agrees to work for Eric in an effort to repay him and save her father’s job. She discovers there just might be more to Eric.
Will she find the man within the Beast?
This film was 1st released as “Beauty and the Beast: A Latter-Day Tale”

where was Belle and the Beast filmed?
John Kimball was the Cinematographer but I could not find out any more information than this. We have no contact information for Wisenquest and there is no FB page either. It would be interesting to find out – some beautiful photography!
If anyone reading this post knows, please make a comment!

It was filmed in Utah. That is all the information I can find.
That would make sense as Utah is a beautiful place. The scenery actually looked similar to Colorado as well, which is where we live.

Could someone tell me the name of the soundtrack at the end of the film
Wisenquest Productions is a Mormon company. Probably was filmed in Utah.
My review: I have to say I loved the Disney animated classic of The Beauty and the Beast. Perhaps this one is even better, minus the music of course. I had no clue what I was getting into with this flick, but it didn’t take me long to figure out that this was a Christian film that I could honestly say I truly enjoyed. My goal is to review all of the Christian movies I can find. As I watch them, I always have a critical eye upon them which usually spies out unrealistic or contrived situations/plots, cardboard characters, poor acting, etc, forcing me to deduct style points and feel bad that I can’t extol the virtues of the film and recommend it highly to everyone. It feels so good to run across a film with a good Christian message that delighted me all the way around. I can’t believe that this story only got three doves from the Dove Foundation. I’d have given it six out of five. This is one of few Christian films that I’d actually look forward to watching again. I’d recommend that you check this out – but only if you like a good love story that leaves you feeling warm and cuddly inside.
The movie Belle and The Beast is the best story that I have watched it over and over because it is a sweet romantic movie. It is very good acting and it is something that can be watched by the whole family. My desire is to see a sequel but I don’t know whether they would do it or not but it needs to be done to finish the story of Belle and Eric. I keep hoping

That is so funny Pat – I’m the same way about this movie – I’ve seen it so many times and wish they would make more like these and of course a sequel would be fabulous!

I am glad to hear Annelie- that I am not the only one who is so fond of this movie. I have read that Matthew Reese who plays Eric Landry in the movie is a producer so maybe if enough of us who are great fans of this movie could keep asking maybe he would produce a sequel to this one so the story could go on. I have told so many folks about this movie because I watch it so much and never get tired of it.
