"Beauty and the Beast" DVD

"Beauty and the Beast" is an enchanting animated musical that is thoroughly entertaining and delightful from start to finish. I was captivated by the story, the characters, and the beauty of the animation. Although this movie is aimed at kids, I expect adults will also enjoy it. The story is about a young prince who is changed into a beast because there is no love in his heart. But if he can learn to love another and earn her love by his 21st birthday, he will be returned to human form. Eventually the Beast falls in love with a beautiful young woman, but will his love be reciprocated? The tale is played out to infectious Broadway showtunes. Even the objects in the prince's castle—including the candelabra (voice of Jerry Orbach), the teapot (voice of Angela Lansbury), and the clock (voice of David Ogden Stiers)—sing along as they do everything they can to help love bloom.
