Beauty and the Beast is a great movie for any age and a Disney classic.

It’s been 25 years since this wonderful Disney Animated film found its way to viewers and forever captured their hearts. Since then, there have been dozens of other animated classics, but none leave the impression that Beauty and the Beast does. With its humor, spectacular animation, character design, story and adventures, this story is truly one of, if not, the best that Disney Studios’ has ever made. Beauty and the Beast has many different genres, the main one being romance. Along with that is a sense of adventure and excitement. The film also has its share of exciting scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat almost the entire time, even if you saw it many times before. It begins when Belle (Paige O’Hara), a young girl in a village, has to rescue her father from a big and scary Beast living in a dark castle. Belle then has to stay in the castle for the rest of her life to free her father. It turns out that the Beast is, in fact a prince, under a dark and magical curse. This curse makes him a horrible Beast and the only way to break it is to find a girl that will fall in love with him. The Beast and Belle start bonding and falling in love. Beauty and the Beast is an extraordinary masterpiece for many of the reasons I mentioned, but what impresses me the most is the animation. Despite its now 25 years old and way before the first computer animation, there are scenes in the film where it incorporates 3D like effects and looks almost exactly like today’s computer animation. To think that it was actually drawn by hand is spectacular and astonishing. On top of that, the voice over work is simply phenomenal, from singing to talking, each emotion and role is played ideally. Speaking of music, the songs in this animated classic are fantastically done from the beat to the lyrics, to the actual voiceover artists singing the songs, to very well-orchestrated scenes. The DVD also comes with several very cool bonus features. The most exciting to me is the sneak peak of the 2017 live action version of Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. It shows the cast reading lines, some special effects and even several sets. If that is not enough to spark viewers’ curiosity, there are also many facts about Beauty and the Beast as well as some footage of the actual recording booths where the original cast recorded their lines. I also enjoyed the part when it talks about how Walt Disney never really got to do this story, even though he wanted to, and thus in 1991, his creative team did it to honor his wishes. My favorite scene is when Belle goes down to eat dinner in the castle for the first time. In this castle, all the servants are magically turned into utilities. Just to name a few, there are talking clocks, teapots, knives, a stove, wardrobes, candles and more. They all do a big musical number with the classic song, “Be my Guest”, which sounds spectacular and the animated musical number has many parts that are just hysterical. Despite some violent scenes, it is still perfect for kids. I recommend it for ages 5 to 18. Younger kids may find the Beast scary or may not enjoy the more intense scenes. I give Beauty and the Beast 5 out of 5 stars for absolutely phenomenal animation, an exciting and detailed story, beautiful songs and emotional voiceover work. Here’s to another 25 years with a new generation! Reviewed by Gerry O., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic. For more reviews by youth, visit kidsfirst dot org

I bought this DVD for my great niece. She's only 8 months old but loves Disney. Can't go wrong with Disney

I think this is a great movie. Now I have my own personal copy.

I bought this to give to my mom for mother's day. I don't live close to my parents, so when I buy them a movie, I always get the ones that include a digital code so I can tell them what I got them for a gift and they can watch it right away without having to mail them the movies and put in the code themselves. This time, I'm glad that's how I do it, because the code wasn't included in the case. Someone needs to put something on the case to point out that the code inside (if any) would be expired. Luckily, it's not impossible to get in touch with Disney to get a new code, but it's not something that should be required.

Disney always delivers great animation to the masses and comes with a digital copy.

My wife has been a Disney fan for as long as I've known her for over 28 years now. Lately, she has been singing several of the Disney songs as sung by the princesses. While shopping for a different product, the updated 25th anniversary edition of Beauty and the Beast caught my wife's eye and she knew she had to get it to share with our grandchildren. My grandson love the fight scene between Beast and Gaston. Great fun to watch on blu-ray over DVD.

30 years later, this is still my favorite Disney movie - and there are LOTS of good ones! If somehow you've never seen it, it's a must! A great addition to any movie collection!

This movie was a hit 25 years ago and it will be again. Now it has 4 different endings. the package includes the bluray disc, dvd disc, and digital copy. enjoy sharing this classic with the young ones around you as you set back and watch this movie again.

Finally upgraded from our DVD copy. It is nice having a digital copy as well. I bought this on the hype of the live action movie. The cartoon is a classic and can't go wrong with it. It is a definite "must have" for any movie collection.

I love these old Disney movies. I'm so glad they came out on dvd. When I was a kid(i'm now 26) we had to get them on vhs. Now that I'm older I understand the humor better and that just makes it better.

One of my favorite Disney films ever. The color looks amazing in UHD 4K. Glad to own this classic.

For me this is a triple dip, VHS, DVD and now Bluray, and I'm sure a 4K in the future. It's been beautifully remastered, it's never looked better. A must buy for any true Disney fan.

The Movie Picture and Quality was great. just one question if anyone knew, how do i access the other 2 versions of the FILM. I can't find it on BluRay or on DvD. thank you

For anyone collecting Disney, they cannot pass on this. Period. It is the 25th Anniversary Signature series Edition. Glad I bought it.

Come on, who doesn't love Beauty and the Beast? It's a classic and a must have/watch for kids and anyone else that hasn't seen it.

I have beauty and the beast 3d version and i am a fan of beauty and the beast that i just had to get this 25th anniversary edition.

I love this movie i remember when it came out i wanted to see it so bad. I know all the songs and some of the lines love this movie

This movie was a great addition to my growing BD Disney Animation collection. It was a very decent price too!
