...describes scenes of street life with a cool offhandedness, building the tension in his songs in long, lean lines of lyrics, spun out in his Southern drawl. He may be a gangsta, he may have a controversial past, but there is something likable about him, almost fuzzy, sort of cartoon-like, definitely marketable...
...real reason the fans dig Big Mac is because he's built like a home-run hitter of old. In fact, old home-run hitters didn't look as much like McGwire as they should have. McGwire is who we imagine Babe Ruth to be; he's like a cartoon of Ruth in which he tightens his belt until his paunch rises into bulging pecs...

Rather than starting out as full-fledged living clocks and feather-dusters, the castle characters reveal that they are slowly turning into houseware, which adds a nice touch of humanity to the painfully splashy musical. Also, through conversations and (ahem) read-aloud sessions, Belle's love for the Beast develops because they both feel isolated and rejected in their respective homes. This is a particularly refreshing change, since the "beauty" in the story is usually depicted...
