In February of 2021, my husband, my daughter, and I went to Cinemapolis to see Belle. It was the first time we’d gone to see a movie in the movie theater since the start of the pandemic, and the three of us were so giddy to be there. We loved the movie. One part of the story is that the mother in the film dies. I truly wish more mothers made it to the end of animated movies, but Belle is really a fascinating story. The animation is stunning, and the music is lovely. We ended up getting the soundtrack on vinyl, and it’s been in heavy rotation in our house.
