We picked up our tickets from Glenbrook Cinema. 
Then opted for lunch at Cafe Cee, just a brief stroll from the cinema.
A shortage of pineapple meant mum had a pineapple AND orange juice. I recommend it.
My roast pumpkin salad was also a delicious combo. It's appearance doesn't do it justice, which brings me back to the movie about judging others based on their inner beauty. After being Cafe Cee's guests Beauty and the Beast... and Mrs Potts and Chip and Cogsworth and Lumiere beckoned.
The film was an exquisitely executed masterpiece. From the divine costumes in the party of the opening scene, to the Wardrobe's flamboyant defeat of her enemies. The movie was more magical than I'd dreamed.
A young girl, possibly around three, was also intrigued. She interjected her occasional commentary. When the Beast collapsed after the wolf attack she gasped, "Oh no!" Truly horrified he may succumb to his injuries. That same mini fan was subsequently impressed when Beast began displaying kindness by showing Belle the library, "He's being nice now!" Beast was winning hearts.
As well as the importance of embracing my uniqueness, mum also taught me to not to lie, which means I feel compelled to divulge a little unfavourable honesty. I really wish Emma Watson's voice hadn't been auto tuned. Also, there's an issue I have with the original animated Beauty and the Beast that has carried through to the current live version and every other version. It's the plot. Beast is supposed to learn the lesson of judging others based on their inner beauty after his incorrect judgment of the enchantress. Instead it's Belle's compassion that sees her falling in love with the inner beauty of a grotesque beast while he falls in love with a girl whose beauty has no parallel. Aside from my issue with the plot, the movie truly was a beauty.
Thanks for the company mum! Xo
