More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Beauty and the Beast (2017) is the live-action adaptation to the 1991 Disney animated movie. As a kid I skip the original film because I thought it was "girlish". After watching the adaptation, I can confirm it is indeed very "girlish" and also very "musical".

Emma Watson lives in medieval France as the only educated villager. After a series of events, she finds herself trapped in haunted castle. The castle lord has been cursed to live as a beast. The castle servants are cursed to live as homeware. Only way for the curse to be lifted is if the beast ever gets loved.

Singing goes over 40 minutes. If you are happy with that, or are able to tolerate it, then you got a very pleasant film to watch. Expect a great looking scenery and a calm storytelling, same as most other Disney films.
