Length: 92 Minutes
Is it loyal to the book? There are several versions, and some of them are not so pleasant. At least this one has talking furniture.
Best character: So many good characters... but the trio of servants found in Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and Cogsworth is the bomb-diggity.
But is it art? If you seriously need to ask that question go sit in the corner and think about your life. Disney had pretty much mastered their art at this point and nearly everything is perfect. If you need convincing watch the ballroom dance scene (where Disney showed mastery over their CAPs program, I shelled out the money to see the movie in theatres during its 3D release JUST to see this part) over the transformation scene, which Glen Keane described as the best work he'd ever done.
Major Flaws: The plot hole that you can drive a semi through... sideways... in a dense fog... while the semi is on fire.
