It's on Hulu and may only be there for a couple more days. The program, which is a musical, mixes animation from the original film with live action performances. It really took me back to the days when I'd go see live theater performances on Broadway. There is nohing like live theater! I think they did an excellent job of producing the show. The cast, featuring H.E.R. as Belle, Josh Groban as the prince, Martin Short as the candle(s), David Allen Grier as the clock, and Shania Twain, was excellent. The songs and voices that sang them were excellent too. Rita Moreno hosted, giving periodic history of how Beauty and the Beast came to be.

I loved that the cast was diverse, the production numbers, including the dance scenes, were wonderful. If it's available at some time, maybe in a year or so, I'd definitely watch it again. If you like musical theater, I highly recommend it.
