Beauty and the Beast (1991)
(Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, US 1991, 84 min., 35mm)
Perhaps the most famous film released by Walt Disney Pictures, this is the one that started it all—the music, the merchandise, the Broadway show. Songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman fill this animated version of the classic fairy tale that bridges the eras of hand-drawn animation and computer-generated graphics. Broadway legends Angela Lansbury and Jerry Orbach anchor the supporting cast as Mrs. Potts and Lumiere, while youngsters Paige O’Hara and Robby Benson take the title roles. “Be Our Guest,” and come see this animated masterpiece on the big screen!
