I hate to admit it but you're right. While I love that it was well received and people loved the look of it, the frame for frame recreation does not impress me either. My only hope is they did so for CoL sequence because it is so iconic and the rest of the movie will be altered more. But it's so hard to say. I loved Beauty and the Beast, but that wasn't close to my heart in the first place.

While I'm a sucker and may love the new version no matter what they do (unless they completely destroy it of course), I was really hoping for some in-depth recreation. More darkness, more character etc. Will have to wait and see I suppose. Pat has been trawling the net looking for a copy of the footage, while I refuse to watch it until the movie actually comes out
