Disney has just released the news that its Beauty and the Beast movie is the 5th highest grossing three day opening of all-time for a PG film. Beauty and the Beast waltzed to Saturday (£7.93m) and Sunday (£6.8m) box office figures which individually represent the second highest grossing Saturday and Sunday industry totals of all time (only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
Read my review here to see why London Mums and their Kids Club have praised the live-action musical film, proving this classic story is really a tale as old as time. 
Only Disney is able to inspire people of all ages and cultural backgrounds to love their universal characters so I am not surprised to see a real Beauty and the Beast movie mania starting. This is a film that carries a message of tolerance and acceptance of human kind in a difficult historical time in which prejudice and discrimination seem to prevail.
Over the weekend of the film release, children from the London Mums Kids Club were invited to attend a Beauty and the Beast ‘Be Our Guest’-themed lunch and party hosted by Persil at Mondrian hotel in London.
Here is what they had to report.
A hand-written review is always lovely to read!

London Mums’ favourite Beauty & the Beast merchandising
Beauty and the Beast Enchanting Melodies Belle by Hasbro
RRP £33.99 (Available in all good retailers)
Enchanting Melodies Belle has to be my absolute favourite doll for 2017. When you press her stomach, the Belle doll sings Something There from Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast film.
She comes dressed in the golden gown inspired by the movie and also a removable necklace. The doll is so realistically made she resembles Emma Watson is this image from the film.
Beauty and the Beast Film Mug
RRP £9.99
Stockist: Disney Store and Disneystore.co.uk
I love having my cup of tea in the morning in this gorgeous Beauty and the Beast mug. It always remind me of one of my favourite films ever. As you can see from the images it features intricate designs and vibrant wraparound character artwork.
There are so many other home accessories at the Disney Store that you can buy and look exactly like the characters from the movie like Lumiere, Mrs. Potts & Chip.
Beauty and the Beast Write, Inspire, Create Book by Parragon Books
RRP £5.99
Stockist: Available in all good retailers
This activity book inspires children to get creative and provides some inspiration on how to write Belle’s diary for a week, create a new song for the enchanted objects to sing and even imagine a brand-new beginning to the story. It allows children to think outside of the box and think of the mysterious and magical world of Beauty and the Beast.
Beauty and the Beast Journal
RRP £14.99
Stockist: Disney Store and Disneystore.co.uk
This lockable notebook resembles Belle’s journal from the live-action film. Its lined pages come alive with gold foil edges, the cover is exquisitely detailed and there is a tassel place saver. It’s big and has lots of pages. I suppose it is suitable for life family memoirs.
