Beauty and the Beast (Disney Special Platinum Edition) Customer Reviews (28 - 30 of 78 Reviews)

Pleasant and touching
I believe this cartoon is probably one of the best ones I've ever seen in my whole life.

The beast's love for Belle lifted the curse off. You can see that even in life, this is geatly possible.

A Must have!

Too bright
After I purchased this version, and viewed it for the first time on DVD instead of VHS... I immediately realized the colour differences. It was disapointing to me, that a once appropriately dark film was now brightened, taking away from the more serious mood they once had. I suppose parents would argue that children prefer bright colours, which may be true, but it definitely takes away from the origonal classic look.

Tale as old as time
Beauty and the Beast has been regarded as one of the best animated features of all times. Without going too far, we can assure it's one of the ten best and now we can have it on a Special Edition DVD, restored with remastered sound.

For those who don't know the story: Belle is a beautiful girl living with her father (an inventor) in a XVIII France town. She's a fan of books, and has captured the attention of the town most coveted bachelor, Gaston, but is not willing to become a simple housewife. When her father is being kept in a horrible Beast's castle, Belle decides to save him taking his place as the Beast's prisoner. The Beast is actually a spoiled prince under a spell. Once in the castle, belle makes a few friends (servers under the spell too) and learns that true beauty lies inside people.

Wonderful music numbers, a perfect story which balances comedy and drama and exquisite animation makes Beauty and the Beast a true cinematic gift for everyone, regardless of age.

Beauty and the Beast is a wonderful experience to relive; capable of giving us so many emotions as no other picture of its time has accomplished (the exception could be The Lion King). The only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Nomination, it has an endless charm.
