California on "Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade," and the image of the beast has haunted me ever since. The dubbing was quite good, and the chapter titles were evocative ("Beauty Hears the Beast," "Beauty Sees the Beast," etc.). There was also a "Tinder Box" cartoon I recall seeing several times, with genuinely frightening dogs "with eyes as big as saucers," etc.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236862714909982569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-25260880609852987352011-09-23T14:33:38.232-05:002011-09-23T14:33:38.232-05:00The director is Irina Povolotskaya, the first bill...The director is Irina Povolotskaya, the first billed actors are Lev Durov and Marina Ilyichyova.

Like Panna a Netvor, the Beast is not an animal-- here he's a forest spirit or something-- and Beauty, while still a bit of a cipher, is portrayed as sort of an odd dreamer. It was definitely interesting, and captured some of the loneliness at the center of the tale very well. <br /><br />~LylassandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-80739901851211586192011-09-22T15:51:24.343-05:002011-09-22T15:51:24.343-05:00Ooh, Lylassandra, do you know where we can see the...Ooh, Lylassandra, do you know where we can see the Live Action adaptation?

I'm not sure if there's been any cutting aside from the main titles, but I figured it was worth posting!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OH2qdHRaFc&Megan Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110210567282618999noreply@blogger.com
