If there was even a shred of truth to this (which I doubt), I would be very angry at how dumb people can be and still be paid for it.

I think the very earliest version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST I remember was a fairy tale book illustrated by Victor Ambrus and that probably coloured my thoughts on all subsequent adaptation!
