Disney's Beauty and the Beast - Movie Review

for Walt Disney Animation Studios, 30 time is the charm. While some love May 29 animated feature films that came before or 20 who came because I love Beauty and the Beast . I could write a whole article on why one is better than Lion King or Aladdin (close second) or even classics like the Snow White and the Seven dwarfs or Cinderella , but I'll save that for later. This article is strictly about the story as old as time.

Later, Belle, a beautiful young bookworm in his small French village in search of more than life. She was impressed with Gaston, the city "womanizer" who will do anything to get her to marry him no matter what other, more voluptuous, women pining for him around town. Belle's father, a goofy inventor, moving to the fair, with his latest invention, but soon lost in the storm. It finds its way into the dark castle and immediately taken as a prisoner by the fearsome beast. Returning home, Bella learns that her father is missing and to accompany him to the castle where the Beast prays that her old man is in place. He agrees knowing that, regardless of its nature rages among other things, he must find a way for her to fall in love with him.

takes the story follows several unforgettable songs, including one which earned Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (posthumous), for the Oscars. Angela Lansbury does a great job in that song and Paige O'Hara, voice of Belle, on the other. Although Beauty and the Beast at first glance may look like kids or girly movie, it does not. Not only do they sing the Beast (the masculine way) in the 'something there', but the rest of the plot still has a sinister sense of sight, even through the sweetest moments.
