Near-stunning video and stunning audio clarity
Near-stunning video and stunning audio clarity
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendAnother of my favorite films. I watched this one dozens of times on VHS and instantly fell in love with the warm colors and smooth visual/scene changes, but the loud audio sections were always a bit feedback-y and hard to listen to--especially the last climactic chorus at the end just before the credits. I then got the DVD and was disappointed, because the visual was too crisp and lost the VHS color warmth and smoothness. Now I got the Bluray, and I am nearly stunned by the positives: In almost all cases, the visual elements have both the sharpness and color clarity of digital while keeping the VHS color warmth and smoothness I grew to love, and the audio has zero feedback--even that climactic chorus at the end just before the credits. The only thing that I could detect that still isn't as good as VHS is one of my very favorite scenes, where Belle walks out of the town (at the beginning) and sings "I want much more than this provincial life," and the camera does a 360 around her while she does her own 360 in the opposite direction; this scene has always been my benchmark in comparing VHS vs digital, because VHS does it so smoothly, while even this Bluray gets close but still doesn't quite hit the mark because its super-clarity just barely makes that scene not as smooth as VHS, and that lack of smoothness is just noticeable enough to be annoying. Perhaps 4k would fix it? In any case, since VHS has gone the way of the dodo and we all have to live with digital, I strongly recommend at least the Bluray version of this film (i.e., not DVD).

|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendBelle is bored with life in her village. Her only escape is her books, and she longs to have an adventure of her own. When her father heads out to a fair, he gets lots, and Belle finds him in an enchanted castle. The objects are thrilled, because if she and their master, the Beast, fall in love, they will all be freed from the enchantment. But will Belle be able to see past the outward appearance? And what about the handsome bore back home who wants to marry Belle? I feel in love with this movie the first time I saw it, and that love has only grown over the years. The story is the right mix of fun and uncertainty. Gaston was a wonderful addition to the mix because his story was the part I was most uncertain about the first time around. The artwork on the film catches your eye from the first shot of the castle, and doesn't let go. Beside the incredible background shots are wonderful drawings of the characters. I especially love the boyish excitement they manage to give the Beast in several scenes. Finally, there's the music. Every song adds to the story and is memorable in its own right. This DVD is perfect for any fan of this movie. Disc 1 includes three versions of the film. The first is the "in progress" version shown to the New York film festival 6 weeks before the premier of the movie in 1991. While it's fun to have, I won't be watching it regularly. The second version is the original release. And finally comes the special edition, with the added scene and "Human Again." Ironically, this is probably my least favorite of the songs added to the Broadway version, but it does advance the story. And, there's always the option of watching the original version. Obviously, the version that you are supposed to watch is the special edition, as the audio commentary and sing along bonus features only work with this option. All three come in Dolby 5.1 sound, which sounds great. The second disc features hours of bonus material. Most of it focuses on the making of this movie. Everything is covered, from original idea through characters and the Broadway version and special edition. Galleries show character designs over the course of the project. Also featured is the original treatments for "Human Again" and "Be Our Guest." Celebrity voices give background on the original story and Disney versions of classic tales. And there's a fun documentary as the stars of "Even Stevens" take a backstage look at all the work that goes into making a feature animated film. This is the first annimated film to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. Watching the film, the reason is clear. This is something the entire family can enjoy. Don't miss your opportunity to catch this classic film.
