| Professional Review: |
| The film that officially signaled Disney's animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches the Beast to love. What makes this such a dazzler, besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items) is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman. (The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar, and Menken's score scored a trophy as well.) The downright funniest song is "Gaston," a lout's paean to himself (including the immortal line, "I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting"). "Be Our Guest" is transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage. Since Ashman's passing, animated musicals haven't quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit, sophistication, and pure joy. --David Kronke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |

Written on August 1, 2008 Summary: Loved it, but.. Ever since i was a little girl i loved this movie and hailed it as my favorite disney movie. And even now this is a movie can watch over and over again. The new dvd version gives better sound and visual quality, especialy in comparison to it's VHS counterpart. However i do have one small complaint. When watching, if you want to watch your favorite classic version without the crappy new song 'human again' you have to go and select the original theatrical version from the main menu. It is horrible mostly when you are showing this movie to one of your younger cousins or siblings who haven't seen the mvie yet, and you want them to get the good experience, with all the songs you love. Not the okay experience with MOST of the songs you loved but that one near the end which was not nearly as good as the others. over-all, i love this movie, but just make sure to select the theatrical version from the main menu for the best experience  Written on July 30, 2008 Summary: Purchase of DVD I received my purchase in a timely fashion and it arrived in excellent condition. I would buy from this vendor again Written on July 26, 2008 Summary: Beautiful Beauty This movie makes you cry because it is so beautiful. Excellent acting by the animation & the voices. I shared this movie with my 1st granddaughter & am just waiting for my 2nd granddaughter to become old enough to appreciate it. Just lovely! Written on July 19, 2008 Summary: Great Product and Fast Delivery This product Was well recieved in a timely fashion. It was in mint condition just as promised. Written on July 6, 2008 Summary: Best Disney Movie Ever!!!! Need I say more?! I mean, come on, people ACTUALLY rated this movie with ONE STAR?!?!?!?! |
