Belle (voice by Paige O'Hara) is a strong willed girl, who just can't settle into the simple life of farming and childrearing, so beloved by those around her, particularly the handsome but arrogant Gaston (Richard White), who wants Belle to be his subjected and submissive wife. But when Belle falls into the hands of a Beast that lives in an enchanted castle (Robby Benson), she finds more adventure than she could have imagined. The Beast is gruff and short-tempered, and yet, there is something more...
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition, and boy am I happy! This
DVD set contains no less than three version of the
movie: the original theatrical release edition; the Work-In-Progress edition (shown at the 1991 New York Film Festival); and (my favorite) the Special Edition, which includes an all-new musical sequence called "Human Again." They worked this last piece in so well that when watching it I almost believed that it was part of the original
movie! The
movie itself is very well done, with an exciting story, wonderful music, and great animation. This is one of
Disney's greatest
movie!
And, that's not all of the extras! This
DVD set has a Making Of (hosted by Celine Dion!), two music
video, two (!) games, various behind-the-
scenes extras, and so much more! This is a great
DVD set!
OK, this review has a lot of exclamation marks, but that is because I am so excited about this
DVD set. This is a magnificent
movie, turned into an outstanding
DVD. I cannot recommend this item enough. BUY IT!
