A beautiful and magical movie with a tale as old as time! We are grateful to be invited and to be able to watch Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 2017 live – action adaptation of the original 1991 Disney animated movie which was also in musical version in 3D at the IMAX Premiere VIP advance movie screening Tuesday evening March 14 at 8PM in SM Lanang Premier!  Our heartfelt thanks to our good friends in SM Lanang – especially to Ms. Apol, also to Sir Aaron and Sir Dan!


My boys and I enjoyed the movie! The IMAX 3D experience makes me realize how we miss watching movies in 3D on the big screen. Thank goodness my migraine was gone by the time we had dinner before the 7:30PM premiere yesterday. *wink*

Watch the trailers below from Walt Disney Studios and SM Cinema. I tell you it’s really a beautiful experience to watch it in 3D in IMAX SM Lanang Premier! The movie is specially formatted to show up to 26% more image exclusively in IMAX only.

Emma Watson is a beautiful modern Belle. I always liked her playing the character Hermione in Harry Potter. I am also making her Belle character who loves to read books in the movie as an inspiration to my child and to all kids at that matter, at this age of technology and gadgets, to read more books – as in real books!  I wish we have that huge library similar to that of what the Beast has in the movie.

The Beast in this particular movie for me is more of a lovable and adorable character compared to the animated version. The character is played by Dan Stevens (who I can only recall for now as Emiliano in the Adam Sandler movie, The Cobbler).

I took notice of Lumiere and Cogsworth characters especially when they were about to lose their lives, well the scene almost got me teary eyed as the beast-prince’s butler said that it was an honor to serve with his friend, Lumiere.

As for LeFou played by actor Josh Gad… Well responsible parents will be able to explain that part of the movie. I wouldn’t have noticed the kind of role he played there if I hadn’t read about it online prior to watching the movie. I’ll take the whole movie still as good as it can be that even kids can watch given the awareness they may already have on LGBT given their young age. Love for one another wins.

The kids will enjoy this beautiful Disney movie that brought back memories for us the excited kids at heart who saw the original animated version of the movie when it was first released by Disney almost 26 years ago in November 1991.

Indeed a great treat to start the summer vacation for your kids and kids at heart who will cherish old memories and new memories with their own kids this time for some of us. It’s a holiday on March 16 and 17 in Davao City so it’s a perfect chance to go to SM Cinema and especially IMAX to watch the movie with the whole family.

UPDATE: Below is a press release with photos from SM Lanang Premier (March 18, 2017)      

Beauty and the Beast premieres at the IMAX, SM Lanang Premier

Special guests were treated to a magical night by Disney, SM Lanang Premier and the SM Cinema last March 14 at the IMAX premiere screening of the much anticipated live-action movie adaptation of the Disney fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

 

The screening happened 2 days in advance of the regular movie showing date. Guests walked on the red carpet leading to photo spots with an installation featuring the movie’s rose iconic rose in a glass case and the castle stairway.

Aron Dalaza, SM’s group brand manager, welcomed the guests in a short program prior to the movie screening. Dalaza said that the same premiere screening was also being held simultaneously in SM Seaside Cebu. It is the first Disney movie premiere screening that Mindanao is hosting.

Kids and the kids-at-heart alike were delighted with the film starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast in the quaintly nostalgic re-telling of the 1991 animated movie of how two rather peculiar characters fall in love.

The guests were also able to enjoy the movie in 3D and see 26% more image, compared to non-IMAX platform. SM Lanang Premier houses the only IMAX theater in Mindanao.

The movie is available in 2D, 3D and IMAX. For screening schedules and reservations at SM cinemas, moviegoers can visit SM Cinema website or call (082) 285-0943 for SM Lanang Premier and (082) 297-6998 for SM City Davao.
