Hello,

I had to post this because it reminded me of when Svet and I went to see the Broadway Musical “Beauty and The Beast” very recently here in Moscow.

The cartoon is almost exactly the same as the play we saw.

It is in Russian and a blast to watch. It also is only about 4 and a half minutes long.
