Disney’s live-action retelling of their 1991 animated classic by the same name ‘Beauty and the Beast’ directed by Bill Condon, is an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s eighteenth-century fairy tale. VFX Supervisor Kelly Port and his team of about 250 artists worked for many many months to turn Dan Stevens into a fantastic live-action/CGI Beast to accompany Emma Watson’s Belle.
