Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is, in fact, my all-time animated Disney favourite – ever since I was gifted a VHS copy on Christmas morning so many years ago. My first introduction led to re-watching it so many times that I still know the movie word for word. Fast-forward to 2010, I then got to meet Paige O’Hara, the original voice of Belle – and even sang ‘Little Town’ with her during a dinner. That moment will always be dear to my heart as one a life-changing moment.
Needless to say, I was over the moon when Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” the live-action adaptation was released. And – It’s available to purchase on June 6th on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand!
To be honest, remakes makes me cringe, since they are rarely as good as the previous and if anything, just makes me want to watch the original. Yet I so loved Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, the live-action adaptation. I was impressed that it was the same as the animated film, yet with a few changes such as new songs {but the ‘old’ ones are still there!}, more humour, and a bit more insight into the story itself – such as information on how Belle’s Mother passed away.
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, was so very good. I know I’ll watch it time and time again. It’s definitely one to add to your movie library.
