Well since I'm a 粉丝 of both films, I will be 写作 on how similarities both films are.

The Story

Since I grew up with both films, the intro starts off with a musical number that we grew to love. To which I will come to that later on as to how they are connected, as the story goes on. It goes from dark to happiness, especially the 秒 half of the film.
The scene where Belle runs down the 爬坡道, 小山 during her song reprise, is a reference to Maria during the opening number. Which is another topic that I will later talk about the character similarities for both Maria and Belle.
