This beautifully imagined retelling of the 18th century fairy tale by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont is a contemporary classic that became the first animated feature to receive a Best Picture nomination.

In this “tale as old as time,” young Belle becomes the prisoner of the cursed, reclusive Beast in order to rescue her father, only to unexpectedly fall in love with her lonely captor.

The top-notch vocal cast includes the legendary Angela Lansbury (as the teapot cook Mrs. Potts) performing the Oscar-winning title song. Alan Menken’s score was also an Oscar winner, with additional nominations going to the film’s sound and the songs “Be Our Guest” and “Belle” by Menken and Howard Ashman.

Beauty and the Beast was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, with a script by Linda Woolverton. The voice cast includes Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, and Jerry Orbach

This 1991 animated feature has a runtime of  85 minutes and is rated PG.
