Beauty and the Beast

Pros: Wonderful story and animation
Cons: Nothing

Over the years, Disney has made many wonderful animated movies that are now considered classics. I have seen all of their movies and enjoyed some more than others. Disney went through a period when their movies weren’t as popular before they ...

Pros: This magical Disney fairy tale is a "must have" for any child's video library.
Cons: Belle doesn't have a mother, like many other similar Disney heroines.

I still remember those days like they were yesterday. It was December 1992 and we were preparing to celebrate my daughter Kelsey's 3rd Christmas. She had reached that magic age where fairy tales and other animated adventures were beginning to capture...

Pros: Story; music; voice talent; animation; the lovely way it's all put together
Cons: A few frightening scenes for young children

I'm old enough that I can remember when seeing a Disney movie was still a fairly major event. Before the advent of videos and DVDs, the only time one saw a Disney film was either at the theater or on television. And yet, for all the charm and uniqueness ...

Pros: Wonderful art work and moving music.
Cons: None

As the movie begins we see a beautiful lush countryside. The music sets the tone so you feel uneasy. You know something is coming, just not sure what. We are introduced to the tale of a spoiled young prince. He has everything he could possibly want...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Belle is bored with life in her village. Her only escape is her books, and she longs to have an adventure of her own. When her father heads out to a fair, he gets lots, and Belle finds him in an enchanted castle. The objects are thrilled, because if she ...

Pros: Animation, music, storyline, nice message...
Cons: Beast looks goofy as a Human

Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is by far my favorite of the "recent" (i.e. post-Little Mermaid) Disney films. Made before the Ashman-Menken pattern of musical was set in stone (and quickly stagnated) as the Disney Standard, this movie succeeds on every...

Pros: Terrific animation and songs, engaging characters.
Cons: None

Pros: the enchanted characters in the castle, all-around great story
Cons: the Beast doesn't have a name

The tale opens in a storybook fashion, with a narrator telling, with the aid of various pictures, how a vain young prince was turned into beast by an enchantress because he failed to show her kindness. We find out that he has ten years to learn the error...

Pros: Enchanting from first frame to last.
Cons: Not a one.

Filming the climactic dream sequence for Goodfollies at Sagrada Familia in Barcelona took several days. Toni Soprano, my part, was not needed for all of the shots as there was a bit of business with Norma Desmond, playing my mother, taking...

Pros: classic film, wonderful treatment
Cons: I have to make something up for this box

Considered by many to be the best modern Disney film, Beauty and the Beast (Walt Disney Home Entertainment, approx. 90 minutes, rated G) is a prime example of Disney doing what it does best: appropriating public domain fairly tales,...

Pros: Cute enchanted characters and lovely music
Cons: The character Gaston is an evil male chauvist pig.

Last night, my youngest son and I watched Beauty and the Beast together once more. We had not done it in a long time and after I watched the movie, I realized why I had not done it because I really was sick at the end of the show.

...

Pros: Animation, music, characters, and of course, the story!
Cons: None!  (ok, so I don't like that new stuff they added)

I ought to be writing about something else, like the books I just finished or the new movies I saw.  Instead I'm writing about a movie I've seen dozens of times, still own on VHS, and have playing right behind me this very moment at 1:30 a.m. ...

Pros: It's an animated film from Disney
Cons: Disney hasn't made one as good yet

...

Pros: great family movie for all ages.
Cons: a little predictable in plot, etc.

The famous tale of the beautiful maiden who falls in love with a beast was started by Disney as "Beauty and The Beast". It was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise in the 90s. Their 30th animated feature released in the US in 1991. It came after ...

Pros: Memorable Songs, Timeless Characters, Great Animation
Cons: None

In 1991 Disney released Beauty And The Beast as part of their line of Disney Classics. It is the first and only Animated film to ever be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Here is my review - Cast Belle - Paige O'Hara Beast ...
