Counterpoint: My wife and I mostly liked the Beauty and the Beast remake. The script changes and new songs relative to the animated original were all great and very welcome, and the casting was great, but our biggest issue with it was the ridiculous CGI/mocap beast. Using practical effects would have sold the emotional scenes way better.

I mean, how many terrific Chewbacca interactions would have been missed out on if there hadn't been the on-set interplay between the actors? Either way, it proves that hairy beast characters are perfectly manageable with a big tall guy in a suit.
