Beauty and the Beast

Today was a school holiday -- as well as a federal holiday -- so Marta and Michal were home from school. In the afternoon, Marta and I went to see Beauty and the Beast on the big screen in glorious 2-D. There was a nice article about this on the web today. Here's an excerpt:

There was certainly no need for this utterly lovely film, done in a traditional animation style before Pixar and other innovators changed the game, to be trifled with. Nevertheless, after last year's highly successful 3-D release of The Lion King, you're likely to see a wave of similar projects. And while you may be able to track down one of the theaters that's showing it in 2-D (they do exist!), if you're choosing between seeing it in 3-D and not seeing it at all (or simply continuing to watch it on home video), it's well worth trekking out to the theater and putting on your glasses.
