- Buy this DVD set, you WON'T regret it!
Belle (voice by Paige O'Hara) is a strong willed girl, who just can't settle into the simple life of farming and childrearing, so beloved by those around her, particularly the handsome but arrogant Gaston (Richard White), who wants Belle to be his subjected and submissive wife. But when Belle falls into the hands of a Beast that lives in an enchanted castle (Robby Benson), she finds more adventure than she could have imagined. The Beast is gruff and short-tempered, and yet, there is something more...
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition, and boy am I happy! This DVD set contains no less than three version of the movie: the original theatrical release edition; the Work-In-Progress edition (shown at the 1991 New York Film Festival); and (my favorite) the Special Edition, which includes an all-new musical sequence called "Human Again." They worked this last piece in so well that when watching it I almost believed that it was part of the original movie! The movie itself is very well done, with an exciting story, wonderful music, and great animation. This is one of Disney's greatest movies!
And, that's not all of the extras! This DVD set has a Making Of (hosted by Celine Dion!), two music videos, two (!) games, various behind-the-scenes extras, and so much more! This is a great DVD set!
OK, this review has a lot of exclamation marks, but that is because I am so excited about this DVD set. This is a magnificent movie, turned into an outstanding DVD. I cannot recommend this item enough. BUY IT!
Rating: - Tale as old as time...
Disney's musical, animated version of the old fairy tale is truly a thing of beauty. As the story opens, a handsome but proud prince shuns an old woman, thus starting the magic spell that turns him into a hideous Beast. In the nearby village, the heroine, Belle, is considered quite odd because she likes to read books. She is pursued by Gaston, the town bully, but she'll have nothing to do with the lout. When Belle's eccentric father becomes a prisoner in the Beast's castle, she agrees to take his place. Gradually, she and the Beast fall in love, and as the magic spell that held him is broken, he becomes the handsome prince again, changed by the power of love.
The outstanding soundtrack is full of clever, romantic, and fun-to-sing tunes that stay with you. Angela Landsbury plays Mrs. Potts, the enchanted tea pot, bringing warmth and class to the film. This is the stuff little girls' dreams are made of.
Rating: - Beauty And The Beast
This film is fantastic that is suited to the whole family. Catchy songs and witty jokes are only one element of this incredible film. You will be sorry if you miss this gem from Disney, it's another brilliant classic. You can watch this film over and over again and never tire of it. It has a important lesson -never judge someone on their looks- while being enjoyable and hilarious at the same time. A timeless musical that will leave you crying and laughing at the same time. Five stars for this extraordinary movie!
Rating: - Excellent Movie
Excellent animation. Super in every department. I escecially like the start of this movie which is superb. The opening narration is wonderful, telling the story of how the prince had become a beast. You will be glued to your screen and will definately shed a tear somewhere in this animated masterpiece.
Rating: - My Favorite Disney Classic
Belle is bored with life in her village. Her only escape is her books, and she longs to have an adventure of her own. When her father heads out to a fair, he gets lots, and Belle finds him in an enchanted castle. The objects are thrilled, because if she and their master, the Beast, fall in love, they will all be freed from the enchantment. But will Belle be able to see past the outward appearance? And what about the handsome bore back home who wants to marry Belle?
I feel in love with this movie the first time I saw it, and that love has only grown over the years. The story is the right mix of fun and uncertainty. Gaston was a wonderful addition to the mix because his story was the part I was most uncertain about the first time around. The artwork on the film catches your eye from the first shot of the castle, and doesn't let go. Beside the incredible background shots are wonderful drawings of the characters. I especially love the boyish excitement they manage to give the Beast in several scenes. Finally, there's the music. Every song adds to the story and is memorable in its own right.
This DVD is perfect for any fan of this movie. Disc 1 includes three versions of the film. The first is the "in progress" version shown to the New York film festival 6 weeks before the premier of the movie in 1991. While it's fun to have, I won't be watching it regularly. The second version is the original release. And finally comes the special edition, with the added scene and "Human Again." Ironically, this is probably my least favorite of the songs added to the Broadway version, but it does advance the story. And, there's always the option of watching the original version. Obviously, the version that you are supposed to watch is the special edition, as the audio commentary and sing along bonus features only work with this option. All three come in Dolby 5.1 sound, which sounds great.
The second disc features hours of bonus material. Most of it focuses on the making of this movie. Everything is covered, from original idea through characters and the Broadway version and special edition. Galleries show character designs over the course of the project. Also featured is the original treatments for "Human Again" and "Be Our Guest." Celebrity voices give background on the original story and Disney versions of classic tales. And there's a fun documentary as the stars of "Even Stevens" take a backstage look at all the work that goes into making a feature animated film.
This is the only film so far to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Watching the film, the reason is clear. This is something the entire family can enjoy. Don't miss your opportunity to get this classic film.
