I’m a minority, I guess, but I love what it’s trying to do. The ending is a tear jerker for me. Now, it does seem like there are figures missing from two of those scenes. I got a little bored during the snowy scene, but I don’t think either video filmed it very well. It must look better in person. How much better, I cannot say.  Something wild about the ride: its finale lasts longer than the finale in the movie (synchronize the transformation scenes of the movie with the ride, and the movie will reach its credits while the ride is still going). That’s what I mean by indulgent! And I don’t say this as a criticism. The scenes have so much room to breath and build.I disagree that it should have been an omnimover. I love how the songs build up and swell. It’s very unique to these sort of rides. There are even key changes! You  never get key changes when the scenes have to loop.The Renaissance musicals are different from the other animated movies, so it calls for a different ride structure. While in Peter Pan the aspirational moment is flying over London, the aspirational moment of Beauty and the Beast is dancing in the ballroom to the swelling music. The ride delivers that.</blockquote>
