Beauty and the Beast

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I am not a big fan of Disney and that is certainly no secret. I think they make stereotypical, WASP orientated trash most of the time, but there are times when you hav to look and give credit where credit is due. Beauty and the Beast marks one of those times and is a movie which is widely regarded as being the finest animated movie ever made. It may not be the most loved, but it is almost certainly in the top five and ought to have won the Best Picture Oscar for 1991 especially considering the rubbish it was up against. It didn't but you'll not care, you'll just want to watch and enjoy. Beauty and the Beast is based upon the classic French tale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont but of course with the Disney spin added to it - talking candlesticks and usually inanimate objects which suddenly become all singing all dancing clowns ...

Review of Beauty And The Beast (Animated) (Special Edition) (DVD)

Sleeping Beauty

Advantages: Wonderful songs, great animation
Disadvantages: More for the girls!

every spindle that they have. And Aurora falls asleep, waiting for her Prince to come and wake her up? The film is animated beautifully and really has that Disney charm. No wonder Aurora is one of the popular Disney princesses even today! The bonus features on the dvd are really good. I recently used it when I was babysitting and the kids absolutely loved the feature where you can colour in your favourite characters. Also included on the extra features is an original artwork gallery which is really interesting. This is a great family dvd for all ages (thought I think girls would enjoy it more), and a great one for a dvd collection that you will want to watch again. I recommend it. ...
