An Animated Masterpiece!
The only animated feature to be nominated for "Best Picture", this film was the peak of Disney's artistic musical animations. Right after the success of "The Little Mermaid" Disney went ahead with "Beauty & the Beast" (Walt Disney wanted to do the film for years and sadly didn't live to see it realized). But today it is great to remember Disney during its artistic Renaissance (From "The Little Mermaid to "The Lion King"). "Beauty and the Beast" has not only great musical numbers, and beautiful backgrounds, but also great characters and an emotionally appealing story. While I think the only realistic character (in terms of motivation and emotion) was the Beast, I found that Belle was a well-realized heroine who in a twist saves the hero with her emotional strength and kindness. The timelessness of the story was well brought out in the title song that played during one of the most romantic scenes ever in animation. This is a film that shows the importance of looking for the beauty within. It also celebrates the life-changing effects that friendship and love can bring. A Masterpiece.

Disney's Best! (and possibly my all-time favorite movie)
Beauty and the Beast is the story of Belle, a girl living in a small French village who dreams of adventure. She is considered strange in her town because she is always reading, and sees the handsomest man in town, Gaston, not as a dreamy potential fiance, but as the rude, conceited man he really is. Belle's father stumbles upon the enchanted castle of the Beast, which will remain under a spell until the Beast, formerly a handsome prince, learns to love, which must happen by his twenty-first birthday. Belle comes to rescue her father, and agrees to take his place as the Beast's prisoner. Although the Beast seems harsh and bad-tempered at first, Belle and the Beast learn to love each other, to the displeasure of Gaston, who finds out about Belle's friendship with the Beast, and had planned on marrying Belle himself.
This is an amazing movie, definitely my favorite of all of the Disney movies, and it could be my all-time favorite movie, too. The characters are so lively and full of personality. The Beast's servants, who have been turned into objects under the spell, add a lot to the movie. The musical numbers are fantastic - the humorous "Gaston," the flashy "Be Our Guest," and, of course, the breathtakingly beautiful ballroom scene, where Belle and the Beast dance to "Beauty and the Beast." This is a great movie for people of any age, and a must-see for people who have enjoyed other Disney movies.
