Beauty and the Beast

The Synopsis

Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise's enchanting animated fairy tale brings to life the timeless story of Belle, a bright and independent young woman who finds herself a prisoner in the enchanted castle of a fearsome Beast. As Belle navigates the magical inhabitants and the Beast's gruff exterior, she discovers the true beauty within, challenging him to overcome his curse through genuine love and compassion. This enduring classic celebrates the power of inner beauty and the transformative nature of selfless affection. Created for the 2002 IMAX re-release and subsequent DVD "Platinum Edition," this version adds the musical sequence "Human Again." * The Song: This was a Howard Ashman/Alan Menken song originally cut from the film but later integrated into the Broadway stage musical.
