The days after Christmas all tend to blend into one. We are living off turkey sandwiches and Quality Street, our dressing gown is now glued to us and we’ve watched the Wizard of Oz at least three times.
However, the kids are starting to get cranky. The annual Christmas walk hasn’t helped and they are already ‘bored’ of their gifts, but fear not.
BBC 1 is here to save the day.
They are showing one of Disney’s best live-action retellings this afternoon and it’s bound to keep the kids quiet for a few hours.
Beauty and the Beast will be on TV today and you can’t miss it. It’s the perfect movie for all the family to watch. We’re sure you’ll be happy to take a break from watching nothing but Home Alone and Love Actually for the past two weeks.
Beauty and the Beast is a tale as old as time, and this new live-action version starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast is just perfection.
The film adapted from the 1991 Disney animated film of the same name follows Belle, a village girl who embarks on a journey to save her father from a creature that has locked him in his dungeon. Eventually, she learns that the creature is an enchanted prince who has been cursed.
This live-action adaptation also stars Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson in supporting roles.
Beauty and the Beast airs on BBC 1 today at 2:20pm.
