About The Special Edition
Technology, artistry and imagination join
forces to make the 10th anniversary of Walt Disney Pictures' timeless animated
classic a real cause for celebration. For this special return engagement,
the film makes its giant-screen debut in a digitally-remastered format
with improved picture and sound quality.
Adding to the excitement is a never-before-seen
animated sequence featuring the song Human Again, written for the
original film by Academy Award®-winning songwriters Howard Ashman
and Alan Menken. This newly animated scene features Belle, the Beast
and an ensemble of enchanted objects (Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, etc.)
which express their hopes and desires to resume their human forms.
Based on the beloved fairy tale, Beauty
and the Beast follows the fantastic adventures of Belle, a beautiful
young French girl who yearns to escape the tedium of her provincial life
and the advances of her macho-but-conceited suitor, Gaston. Belle's life
takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself imprisoned by a brooding
Beast, whose mysterious past holds the key to their future.
The only animated feature to ever receive
a Best Picture Oscar® nomination.
