DVD Reviews of Beauty and the Beast

DVD Review: Bueaty and the Beast DVD
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this DVD for my grand daughter because she loves it so much. However, it will only play on 1 DVD player I have and that one is not one that she can watch all the time. The DVD player in her room and in the car will not play it. I believe that the problem is because it has been reproduced and not one out of th vault. I do not have this problem with any other DVD.

DVD Review: Great product!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

After years of this being off the shelf, I expected it to be opened and not in great condition. I was extremely wrong. It came in original packaging, discs were mint, case was perfect. Great seller!!! A++

DVD Review: Beauty & the Beast DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

The product arrived very timely. After watching it a few times, it started to freeze up at the same spot each time. I can get back to the menu and just go past that point, but I can't fast forward past it while watching it.

DVD Review: I love this classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this video for my granddaughter and it was great! It is a beautiful classic movie that I have loved for a long time, and now I can share it with her. The DVD was in perfect shape and arrived almost faster than I could track it.

Description of Beauty and the Beast

The film that officially signaled Disney's animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches the Beast to love. What makes this such a dazzler, besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items) is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman. (The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar, and Menken's score scored a trophy as well.) The downright funniest song is "Gaston," a lout's paean to himself (including the immortal line, "I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting"). "Be Our Guest" is transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage. Since Ashman's passing, animated musicals haven't quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit, sophistication, and pure joy. --David Kronke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
