Critic Reviews:
- " With a multifaceted soundtrack boosting its emotional punch, Belle makes an old tale soar anew. " – Kevin Harley (Radio Times)
- " Belle takes familiar tales as old as time and upgrades them with swipe-down social commentary in a modern tale of love, loss and identifiable insecurities. Its as touching and transcendent as filmmaking gets. " – Matt Rodgers (Flickering Myth)
- " Belle is more than just another version of Beauty and the Beast. It's a highly imaginative, visually stunning, and emotionally stirring film that embodies some of the best anime of the 21st century. " – Carla Hay (Culture Mix)
