I am so astounded and moved. My love for Disney is so profuse and continues to grow as they keep modernizing tales to be more forward-thinking.
Also, I adore Howard Ashman and I seriously love the mere idea that LeFou being gay could be a tribute to him. Ashman was a true genius and he breathed life into Disney productions that hasn’t quite been equaled since. If you don’t know who he is, read the article, and then research some more. You’ll feel touched to know the magic he encapsulated into everything and feel melancholy that he was taken so soon. He deserves all the awards for bringing Beauty and the Beast to life (along with Ariel and a slew of others).
So thank you Disney, for making my heart happier. You never cease to bring smiles.
Also, there is a related article of “exclusive” pictures of the cast of the new Beauty and the beast for Vanity Fair and I gotta say, Emma looks riveting.
