I think I would like to see a different take on the story. Of course we all love the tale of Beauty and the Beast, but it's nice to have something new.oh emma watsonhttp://www.ohemmawatson.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-81990992757373372492011-07-23T19:21:16.594-05:002011-07-23T19:21:16.594-05:00You had me at del Toro!You had me at del Toro!Angela R.
