Team America is a classic. Fucking hilarious.
And, yeah, the Beauty and the Beast remake was a live-action version, though the Beast and his furniture servants were CGI. It was a musical (I'm not a big musical guy, either), so it more closely followed the original story than, say, the live-action Cinderella or Maleficent remakes. There were a few funny parts in the movie -- Josh Gad (as Gaston's sidekick LeFou) was great as usual. It had a solid cast as well -- Luke Evans (as Gaston), Kevin Kline (Belle's father), Ewan McGregor (Lumiere), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), Stanley Tucci (the piano). It was easy to tell that they had an agenda (like female empowerment, diversity, and interracial relationships), which would be inaccurate for the time period, but I think it's good for a Disney movie -- helps normalize these types of topics for kids.
