Is that the French movie with the English subtitles? Made many years ago?

One of the PBS Stations about 5 years ago had a real old movie of Beauty and The Beast in French.

I hope to see it again, it was different. But it has been to long to really recall different scenes.

I know what everybody feels about books turned into movies.

Look what happened to The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings!

Also Flowers in the Attic! Not to mention the Stephen King movies!

I'm from the old school, read first before seeing the movie. I'm already brainwashing my boys with that!

They have to read atleast for an hour every night by themselves. Then Mom reads to them for another hour or so, depending on how tired I am or if things are really speeding up!

In the Mallett house, BOOKS RULE!

I've been thinking this very thing ever since I heard about the  
movie. These are the last few months when the only way for kids  
to "get" Harry is by reading the books or hearing them aloud. At the  
beginning of this school year, my son was part of just a very few  
kids his age who were Harry fans, and it was like being in a cool  
little club that you could only get through a book.  

But just in the past few months that's already changed because of all  
the junk WB is pumping into the economy--kids have their golden  
snitch keychains and Hogwarts baseball caps without having to read  
the books. And once the movie's out, anyone can "be in the club."  
Maybe that's democratic, but it's a bummer for the bookworms.
