Film Synopsis:
Set in and around a quaint French village during the late 18th century,
Beauty and the Beast follows the fantastic adventures of Belle, a bright
and beautiful young woman who finds escape from her ordinary life, and the
advances of a boorish suitor, Gaston, by reading books. Meanwhile, off in a
castle in the distance, a cruel young prince is cast under the spell of an
enchantress who turns him into a tormented beast, while transforming his
servants into animated household objects. In order to remove the curse, the
Beast must discover a true love who will return his affection before the
last petal falls from an enchanted rose. When Belle's inventor father
stumbles upon the Beast's castle and is taken prisoner, Belle comes to the
rescue and agrees to take her father's place. With the help of the castle's
enchanted staff, she sees beneath the Beast's exterior and discovers the
heart and soul of a human prince.
Film Accolades:
Beauty and the Beast received two Academy Awards® for music in 1992,
three Golden Globes® for Best Motion Picture, Best Original Score and Best
Original Song in 1992, and two Grammy Awards in 1993. Listed as number
seven on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Animated Films, Beauty and
the Beast helped define Disney animation for a new generation as the second
film in the "Disney Animation Renaissance" (1989-1999) which launched with
The Little Mermaid and revitalized animated features by captivating mature
audiences while still delighting young viewers.
Beauty and the Beast features a cast of top vocal talent. Veteran stage
actress and singer Paige O'Hara is the voice of Belle, one of Disney's most
beloved and independent heroines, and Robby Benson (TV's "American Dreams")
delivers a powerful portrayal of the Beast. Three-time Oscar®-nominated
screen star (The Manchurian Candidate in 1963, The Picture of Dorian Grey
in 1946, and Gaslight in 1945) and six-time Golden Globe® award winner
(TV's "Murder, She Wrote" in 1992, 1990, 1987 and 1985, The Manchurian
Candidate in 1963, and The Picture of Dorian Grey in 1946), Angela Lansbury
gives a bubbly performance as Mrs. Potts. The late Jerry Orbach (TV's "Law
and Order," "House of Mouse") shines as the voice of Lumiere, the
passionate candelabra, and David Ogden-Stiers (TV's "M*A*S*H," Lilo &
Stitch) is Cogsworth, the tightly-wound mantel clock who functions as the
head of the household.
Beauty and the Beast was also the first Disney animated film to inspire
a Broadway stage production by the same name. Highlighting the film's music
by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, seven new songs were written for the
stage musical. Beauty... was nominated for nine Tony Awards in 1994 and ran
on Broadway for 5,464 performances until 2007, becoming Broadway's
sixth-longest running production in history.
