Review: The facial expression of the characters is perfect. The "crystal lamp" in the Beast's castle is fantastic! It is very real!!! Furthermore, the sound track is 'beautiful'!

Summary: A Movie to Judge All Others By
Review: A few sentences can't describe the beauty, magic, and overall superiority of this film. It is a movie for the young, the old, those in love, those who have yet to love. For fans of animated films, this standard is one to judge all others by for its exquisite animation, characterization, and music. But even for those who do not consider themselves Disney or animated film fans, the enchanting story and its beautiful interpretation makes even the most stubborn moviegoers to soften a bit. By far the best animated movie I have ever seen, and one of the best movies of ANY KIND. There is a reason this was the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture. The only disappointment was that it didn't win. Get this one at any cost.

Summary: GREAT
Review: I'm not the person who always watches kids movies but I've saw a lot. I thought that Beauty and the Beast was a great story with heart warming love. It was based on a story and they made it a lot different and a lot better. i thought the dark seens were fun and the love story was heart warming as I say again. I totally give it five stars. I recommend this to anyone who has saw any Disney movie and liked it.

Summary: After A While One Doesn't Notice It Is Animated
Review: It is quite rare for any animated film to be treated with the same respect as any other honored non-animated one. In BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale take the time-worn fairy tale of the outwardly loathsome beast who impossibly enough allows his inner nobility to shine forth sufficiently to cause the beauty to fall in love with him. Robby Benson is the voice of the Beast and Paige O'Hara is Beauty. Even for those readers familiar with the spoken tale or the revamped music video with Meatloaf as the Beast cannot help but allow themselves to be entranced with the seamless melding of sight to sound. The plot is simplicity itself with the Beast as the archetypal symbol of the rebirth of nobility long hidden by the evil spell of a unnamed wizard. There is nothing childish is the unfolding of the tale of Belle the Beauty who chooses to sacrifice herself in marriage to save the life of her doddering inventor father. Enter the Beast who is initially presented as the roaring brute that his tormenting wizard clearly intended him to be. Yet, as Belle ministers to his psychic wounds of self-loathing and his physical wounds incurred in defending her against a pack of wolves, the viewer can see a competing spell at work, one that is older than time itself--the power of love that the film's many songs allude to and function as as subtext that imbues it with timeless energy. There is, of course, some needed plot complications of unwanted attention heaped on Belle by the handsome but warped Gaston, who plots to snare Belle in marriage as firmly as he would stalk a reindeer for its antlers. As Gaston leads the villagers in an assault on the Beast's manor, one is reminded in reverse of the cliched villagers pounding at the walls of Doctor Frankenstein's castle, but in this case the attack in presented in comic tones that keep the real world of harm at bay. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has no down moments, with each fresh plot advancement heralded by stunningly effective animation and song. This film was a deserved nominee for Best Picture in 1991, and with repeated viewings, one may rest assured that the alternately gloomy and resplendent halls of the Beast will eternally resonate with the same cachet that gives Tara, Oz, or Rick's Cafe a ticket that allows the bearer to see just how awesome the human spirit can be.

Summary: A Must-Have for the Disney Fan
Review: Forget the video. If you loved the theatrical version of "Beauty and the Beast" you won't want to miss the DVD. This special edition DVD has so many added features that fans of the film won't be satisfied until they own a copy. This two-disc set includes 3 versions of the film. They include: - The work-in-progress edition which first premiered at the 1991 New York Film Festival. - The original theatrical version. - A special edition version that includes the new musical number, "Human Again" and enhanced animation. It also includes a sing-along track version, and a version of the film with audio commentary by the producers. In addition, the second disc features behind-the-scenes galleries, interactive games, "The Making of Beauty and the Beast," interviews with the cast-members, a tour of Disney's animation studios, music videos, and much, much more. It's the familiar story of Belle, Maurice, Gaston, the Beast, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Cogsworth and Lumiere, but presented in a whole new way. Fans will not be disappointed. Restored and remastered, the film seems much brighter than the theatrical version. The previous reviewer who complained of the Work-in-Progress version in French needs to familiarize him or herself to the operations of his or her DVD player. All versions of the film can be watched in a variety of languages, depending upon one's settings. All in all, it's a perfect Christmas gift for the Beauty and the Beast fan.

Summary: Pure Magic!
Review: Bringing this classic fairy tail to life is one of the best things that Disney has ever done. Every second of this film is full to the brim with wonder and magic. More than ten years after first seeing it, there are still some scenes that make me gasp at their beauty.
The movie provides all of the usual Disney elements of gorgeous animation, skilled voice actors, awesome original songs, and non-stop entertainment, but there's something special in the mix. We get one of the most believable and heart felt romances to ever grace the animated world. As a child every time I read a picture book of this Fairy Tail I found it impossible to believe that a woman could love a beast, but Disney found a way to make it happen. You truly believe that it's possible, and feel her pain when she thinks she's lost him.
In the classic Disney fashion, Beauty and the Beast brings along a message for the kids to learn. We see the value of intelligence and compassion, learn to look beyond the superficial, and discover that love knows no boundaries.

Summary: One of My All Time Favorites
Review: You can't go wrong with Beauty and The Beast...it has great music, great characters, and is appealing to all ages. Plus with all these extra features they have thrown into the mix you have enough to keep you busy for hours. Because Beauty and The Beast has become a collectors item, you will find most disk at high prices her and at ebay. You need to be really careful who you are buying from because you could end up with a bootleg copy like i did. Please check all seller backrounds, email the sellers with questions before purchasing and if they refuse to provide you with any answers dont trust them,and do not buy from them. Should you buy and end up with a bootleg, report them immediatly to amazon, do not wait.
