BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Theatrical Release USA 1991)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Beauty and the Beast—terrific story dappled with outstanding music—easily becomes a classic animated musical worth both a re-watch and addition to the family home library video collection. Although the 2017 live action remake became the highest grossing musical film of all time, this animated feature tops the live action remake in quality and entertainment value.
