Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
FILM-LOVING GulfWeekly readers have the chance to snap up a selection of Disney prizes, including a special Beauty and the Beast mirror in a velvet bag.
The latter is a ‘money can’t buy gift’ as it doesn’t retail anywhere and was made as special merchandise by the film company to coincide with the release of the film.
Alongside the star prize we have four soundtrack CDs to give away in an easy-to-enter competition.
The story and characters audiences know and love come to spectacular life in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, a live-action adaptation of the studio’s animated classic featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast, including Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor and Emma Thompson.
Directed by Bill Condon and based on the 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast, the screenplay is written by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. GulfWeekly film reviewer Kristian Harrison was impressed, giving the film three popcorns out of five, and writing: ‘With this context in mind, and the knowledge of the risk-taking and pressure involved in handling the movie, it’s a good job that it’s done very well.
‘The writers and director Bill Condon have done a commendable job of delivering what fans want, while also offering enough tweaks to not feel like a note-for-note copy offering nothing new’.
Alan Menken provides the score, which includes new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as three new songs written by Menken and Tim Rice.
To enter the contest, answer this question: What is Beauty’s name?
Email your answer to editor@gulfweekly.com by Sunday at noon.
The first correct answer out of the bag will win the main prize, and the following four will pick up the soundtrack which includes Beauty And The Beast performed by Ariana Grande and John Legend and How Does A Moment Last Forever sung by Celine Dion, plus others.
