I mean, since everyone wants to compare it to Robin Williams already...He basically just did his own voice and sprinkled in celebrity impersonations in the cartoon (which was great, don't get me wrong, it worked perfect). Will Smith's charismatic voice gives off the same energy and has the same humor to it...I don't understand why people are worried about that lol.

Lemuire was great as was Potts and Chip. Cogs wasn't bad but nothing special. Days in the sun is a top tier addition though, maybe enough to push it over the original. Hard to say though TBH (for me ofc). Emma Watson as Belle just ruined it for me. One example that I remember in the first song is how she delivers the baker with his bread like always line.
