I thought we'd have Belle living in a castle with a manmonster and many talking objects who used to be the servants/residents.

Plus whatever else was in that movie.

An malevolent sorcerer with gold skin who's always roaming around doing evil while Belle is alone doing the domestic chores isn't even remotely similar! Well, as others have said above, the point of the show is not just to recreate the animated movie (if you want that, Disney has a live action Beauty and the Beast coming out next year), but to take both the Disney movie and the original story and give it some twists. And they actually have had lots of references to the Disney movie, but if you haven't actually seen the movie, your not going to see them. So yeah, the entire movie isn't missing, and if you haven't actually seen the movie, then I think judging Once on lacking "the movie" is a bit premature.
