I have a three-year-old daughter and her most recent discovery is Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."It's pretty good. Jean Cocteau's version is pretty good, too. I really did feel the beast was really good in this version. He seemed legitimately scary without being overly goofy.
The cartoon version is odd because the beast is far better looking as the animal compared to the doofus he turns back into once the spell is broken.
A big difference between the two versions is that Avenant, Belle's non-beast love interest, is not killed like the correlating Gaston in the Disney version, but instead himself turns into a beast as the original beast turns into the charming, good-looking guy with the killer personality.
Of course, none of this actually compares to the 1980s TV series starring Ron Perlman as the greatest beast of all time and the manly Linda Hamilton.
