Relive the tale as old as time on the big screen this month!
The Big Picture Disney is bringing back the 1991 classic Beauty and the Beast for the studio's 100-year celebration as the movie will run in select theatres starting this weekend. The animated musical romantic fantasy is among the jewels that came out of Disney’s Renaissance period which also gave us classics like The Little Mermaid , Aladdin , The Lion King , Pocahontas , and more.
The Legacy of Beauty and the Beast The movie, based on the 1700s fairy tale of the same name by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, tells the heart-wrenching tale of a prince, who was turned into a Beast and his servants into household objects as punishment for his arrogance.
Beauty and the Beast left a lasting impression on audiences of all age groups and was critically acclaimed for its animation, writing, direction, performances, and musical numbers. Despite being an animated feature the movie went on to bag a nomination for Academy Award in Best Picture, and won the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories. Since then there have been many iterations of the film in live-action but nothing surpasses the charm of the original.
The movie casts Paige O'Hara as Belle, Robby Benson as the Beast, Richard White as Gaston, Jerry Orbach as Lumière, David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth, Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts, Bradley Pierce as Chip, and Rex Everhart as Maurice, Bell’s father.
Beauty and the Beast will play in select theaters in the U.S. from August 18 to 31, get your tickets now.
