The innocence in the youth characters is a true testimony to the genre. If you liked the other movies by this Director then you’ll like Belle. See more 01/22/2022 the drama in the film lacked drama. See more 01/21/2022 I really liked it! A must to see in the theaters if you like anime films. The visuals & animation is gorgeous and the characters are likable. The movie is a modern day version of “Beauty & the Beast”, but it takes place within the social media world. The story also reminded me of “Ready Player One” and the animated film “Ron’s Gone Wrong”.
