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

Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 Disney feature film animation, and is one of the better of the more modern ones of the past 20 years or so, before the collaboration with Pixar took it to a new level. The film takes us to a castle, where a Prince has been cursed to take the form of a humanoid beast until he realises the importance of beauty that lies within a person. You see, the Prince is superficial, and in a way, this is Disney's way of slamming ...
...music, with its title song, Beauty and the Beast, sung marvellously during the film by Angela Lansbury, one of only a couple of recognisable names lending their voices to the film, Jerry Orbach being the other. I recommend at least watching this, even if you don't particularly want to own it. It's a timeless Disney 'classic' despite it being one of hte 90s, productions, and slots in perfectly with some of the older ones such as Pinocchio and Snow ...

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

...know the basic story of Beauty and the Beast? In case you’re a hermit new to this glorious thing we call life, here’s the basic idea. A man who doesn’t understand the real value of life and love is cursed to live as a beast until a woman’s true love releases him. Just ripe for a Disney adaptation, wouldn’t you say? Well, you’d be right. In 1991, Beauty and the Beast was released to both critical acclaim and commercial success. It also stormed the ...
...idea behind the story of Beauty and the Beast. This is of course the Disney version so expect the usual family-friendly approach. Belle is the most beautiful girl in her village (hence the name, Belle is French for beautiful). She is constantly pursued by Gaston, the town “hero” who wants to marry her because she’ll be the ultimate prize. Although she is beautiful, she’s also regarded as somewhat odd by the other villagers as she always has her ...

...for those who don't know Beauty and the Beast is a children's animated film. The rest will be explained..... =====Story and characters===== The film is romanic - that is the most important thing. It is also fantasy. The main characters are the Beauty - Belle - and the beast - beast! The beast is really a handsome prince, who has been turned to a beast, until he finds a girl to marry, when the spell is broken. Belle is a very pretty, gentle, friendly ...
...they do as well with Beauty and the beast as they did with the others. The script is really good - comedy great for little ones and some overly-romantic lines that are just great. =====Realistic?===== Well, at the end of the day, a beast is not going to fall in love with a girl (or vica versa) and then get changed back to a handsome prince. But, it is a children's animated fairytale - who cares whether it is realistic? =====Beg/mid/end===== There ...

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

One of the greatest animated films ever which benefits greatly from Alan Menken and Howard Ashman's best ever work. Magic. [details] Every so often a film comes along where everything works - the participants are at the peak of their powers and all the talents involved simply gel perfectly. That is special cinema and is precisely what Disney produced with this film. This is the only animated film ever to be nomimated for a Best Picture Oscar and ...
...the very early films " Snow White and the Seven Dwarves " was a staggering achievement, " Pinnochio " surpassed those high standards, " Dumbo " was delightful and " Fantasia " was genius-on-a-stick. However, 'Beauty and the Beast' fits very comfortably into that company and is arguably better than all of them. What makes it so good? I don't know, there is no one thing. The songs are stunning, the lyrics are a work of genius, the animation is excellent, ...

...castle like Chip the teacup, Beauty begins to stumble upon the beast's caring side and starts to fall in love with him, the Beast too falls for Beauty and decides to relise her....But love can truly overcome anything and the Beast is not all he seems. The only problem that I encountered with this film was that it is slightly scary for smaller children because of the Beast, so sit down with them and watch it. VERDICT: A childhood would not be complete ...
