Summary: One of Disney's greatest
Review: This is one of Disney's classics! Great soundtrack, great characters, and great plot.A young French girl named Belle goes looking for her father who got lost on his way to an inventions fair. She ends up at this castle in the middle of the forest where she meets a prince who is actually this monstrous beast who had been transformed into this creature by a fairy princess long ago for being heartless. Belle bargains herself for her father's release, and the story between Belle and the Beast begins to unfold. Other characters in the movie include Chip and his mother Mrs. Potts (voiced by Angela Lansbury), Lumiere (voiced by Jerry Orbach...from Law and Order!), Cogsworth, and Gaston. Typical to the Disney movie, it pits the good versus the bad in a somewhat more lighthearted way with great songs that everyone sings along with. This new edition of the DVD I honestly don't think is much better than the original. They have lots of added goodies yes, but the famous new scene added into the movie with the new song "To Be Human Again" while a cute song, just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the movie after you've become accustomed to the original. I think they should've left it alone, but I wouldn't mind buying a soundtrack that included the new song. Classic, great, been one of my favorites since it was originally released. No matter how many times I see it, I laugh and cry in the same parts! It never gets old!

Summary: An enchanting movie for all ages
Review: Disney sure knows how to do DVD. "Beauty and the Beast" is considered by many to be the best animated film of all-time and Disney definitely gives it an in-depth treatment on DVD. Both the original and the expanded IMAX edition of the film are included on the fist disc and the movie looks amazing. The colors are so vivid and they almost jump right off the screen. The sound is amazing too, especially on the big musical numbers like "Be Our Guest." The special features on disc 2 are pretty good too, with several small documentaries about the life of "Beauty and the Beast" from fairy tale to pre-production to the actual movie and even on to the Broadway version now playing in New York City. Fans of Disney movies, cartoons, musicals, and just very good movies in general should without a doubt check this special edition out!

Summary: Disney's Spectacular
Review: Disney's great. Supplying the fans with such detailed releases of the most beloved Disney movies. Beauty & the Beast is high on almost every Disney lover's list, and I'm certain that this dvd will satisfy them. Satisfied me. Three versions of the film are available. The original theatrical version, the special edition, and the unfinished version. The new musical number included in the special edition is a fun one, and to see simple artwork throughout the unfinished version is a fun watch. The tons of supplemental material is too much to actually review. But it shows that Disney cares. The film was the first animated picture to be nominated for Best Picture, and rightfully so. The combination of romance, humor, adventure, and even a bit of fright make the film one to reach almost every person's heart. Forever memorable characters were introduced in the film, and the morale of the story is great. Uberinstant Disney fun all-time favorite major classic! In my once again 7 year old mind, that's how I would describe Beauty and the Beast. Wait no, actually, that's how I describe it now. Eleven years later and this movie has not changed (Except for the new musical number), and neither has the magic it has given changed.

Summary: Beauty and the Beast (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Review: I love it! "Beauty and the Beast" is my favorite Disney movie. The only other that comes close to it is "Lilo and Stitch". I was so pleased with it that my parents got me a spare copy in case something happened to my first one!

Summary: The Remastered Edition looks different
Review: I love Beauty & the Beast! It is one of my favorites, but in the re-released edition, the animation looks HORRIBLE. I still have my video from when it came out the first time and the animation on it looks great, but I was incredibly disappointed with the DVD. I thought it would look better and clearer than the video, but I was wrong. It looks like a cheap cartoon instead of the masterpiece it was.

Summary: A great use of DVD technology
Review: For anyone who has never seen this movie, see it on this DVD. If you've already seen it, see it again on DVD. I got this DVD as a birthday present, and I have seen it many times since. The special features are phenominal. The new scene is inserted so well that you would think it was always a part of the movie. The soundtrack is full of catchy fun to sing songs. The story is well told, the voice cast is well chosen, and the movie flows well. Disney did a class A job with this one.
