being the first animated feature by the studio, it started the tone and look that is now synonymous with the Disney princess movie
bringing to life the signature imagery of the fairy tale and making them iconic symbolisms that still holds up today
the soundtrack that is as memorable and flesh out the characters more with songs that suits each of them

a nineteenth-century German fairy tale that was published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 that stands the test of time because of the iconic imagery it presents

the more grim details of the original story would be just too much for the current version we have acclimatized to

as it is reaching almost 80 years since its release, how much of the original animation's cherished characteristics would hold up against current culture and values

a case for the songwriter:

| Pasek and Paul |
had hands in a couple of movies coming out this year, Trolls and La La Land, the former iss a fun catchy tune while the latter help setting the atmosphere in a award-worthy movie
? Main contention ?
having the big task to follow up on the iconic tunes of the princess movie that birthed a whole genre of its own, they need to collaborate with the Disney veterans to at least match up with that level

the opportunity to bring to life the studio's ancestor and paying a well deserving tribute to it
the current stream of live action adaptation of the character (i.e. Mirror Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman & Once Upon a Time) would keep it well in people's current conscience

the direction they are going with this adaptation would largely hold onto the belief that the Beauty and the Beast musical live-action adaptation would be a critical success and an audience darling
how much the charming quirks of the movie before would not turned out to be too cheesy and not believable at all when converted into live-action adaptation (i.e. the friendly animals that help Snow White compared to the Beauty and the Beast's CGI-ed trinkets)

the trend of adapting every princess property under the banner would not stop and here's hoping their quality would at least warrant their adaptations
having the immense pressure to at least live up to the reputation
