Another opinion about the film ‘Beauty and the Beast’ This letter is in response to one written by Jerry Horton from Ecru, calling the film “Beauty and the Beast” “tragic on many levels.” First, I would like to ask Mr. Horton if he himself has seen the Disney film. It appears from his letter that he is quoting others who seem to have missed the major theme of the film while looking for some subliminal message to focus on. I took my sister and my seven-year-old granddaughter to see the movie.
