When was beauty and the beast made

The animation in some of the scenes went back through the clean-up animation department a second time, to correct problems such as wavering lines and missing details, which, while not very noticeable during a traditional 35mm showing of the film, would have been discomforting on a much large IMAX screen.

Small details, such as the blood in Beast's wound after his fight with the wolves, were also added. At the end of the "Something There" sequence, the background has been changed from Belle and Beast in front of the fireplace to an empty hallway, and a bit of the character animation has also been altered in this shot. Six minutes of new footage was added between the songs "Something There" and "Beauty and the Beast," most of which is made up of a new musical sequence, "Human Again.

After Alan Menken altered the song to make it work for the Broadway stage version of Beauty and the Beast, the song was worked back into the film. During the "Human Again" song sequence, the household objects clean up the Beast's castle, which necessitated having the background artists go back and digitally re-paint the backgrounds for the castle scenes that followed so that the castle was clean.

The animation for Cogsworth's line to the Beast after Belle is freed "Yes-yes-yes, but New sound effects are added to the shot where Belle and Phillippe leave the castle to find Maurice, which are supposed to suggest that the Beast trashes his room in anguish and also so that the backgrounds from this point on would not have to be repainted. The ending credits are longer to necessitate the addition of an additional passage of score music, the version of the 'Transformation' theme that was cut out of the original film, to the end of the film.

Connections Edited from Bambi Soundtracks Prologue uncredited Music by Alan Menken. User reviews Review. Top review. One of Disney's Best! Beauty and the Beast is an engaging movie with so much care and beauty fused into its core. Beauty is much more than just an influential animated classic. It is a grand and powerful fable, sugar coated with the best animation effort in a time where CGI was becoming a movie mainstay.

In its finest moments, Beauty is a rousing musical, making your head move and getting caught up right in the mix. The score is unforgettable and the characters are so easy to get into. A movie that children and adults alike will love, Disney deserved its Academy Award nominations for creating such a joy. Small town Belle longs for more than a local life, maintaining her imagination through books and taking care of her kind, yet eccentric father.

But when their horse returns without papa, Belle sets out to find the awful truth in an enchanted castle. You can see that so much time and care was spent in drawing this masterpiece. I cannot think of many other movies that show such meticulous background and animation. That such effort is woven effortlessly into its songs that make Beauty and the Beast the timeless classic Disney rightfully lauds itself over.

Kudos to Disney for creating a charismatic, attractive villain in Gaston. He would not be a villain if he was not such a jerk. You must watch this movie at least once in your life, in a comfortable sofa and with the sound turned right up for the Broadway scores. You will enjoy it! FAQ 4. This question's in regard to the tune that the brass band play at what would've been Gaston and Belle's wedding.

What was the Beast's actual name? Is the prince really eleven years old when the spell is cast? Details Edit. Release date November 22, United States. United States. Official Facebook Official site. English French. Beauty and the Beast 3-D. In the prologue, as told through stain-glass windows, a selfish French prince is visited by an old beggar woman who offers to give him a rose if he provides her with shelter, but the prince refused on account of her hideous appearance and also blows her off again when she warns him not to judge people by looks.

The woman is revealed to be a magical enchantress who curses the prince by turning him into a hideous-looking beast and also curses his castle and its inhabitants. The rose is revealed to be enchanted and it will bloom until his 21st birthday and wilt away, which will cement the transformation unless the Beast finds some woman to love and earn her love in return.

A decade later, in a small town, a beautiful bookworm girl named Belle is seen as strange by the townsfolks. The popular town hunter, Gaston lusts after her, but Belle tries to avoid him because of his arrogance.

Belle's dad, Maurice is also an outcast among the townsfolk due to his erratic inventions. Potts , the housekeeper who was changed into a teapot, along, her son Chip and his brothers, now teacups, along with a whole bunch of others. With the exception of Cogsworth, the enchanted servants provide hospitality to Maurice, but the Beast comes to lock him up in the dungeon for trespassing into his castle.

After Belle turns down Gaston's marriage proposal made ludicrous by the fact that he organized a wedding just outside her house, foolishly expecting her to accept out of the blue , Maurice's horse comes back and takes Belle to the castle where she soon finds Maurice in the dungeon, but she soon meets the Beast.

In exchange for her dad's freedom, Belle offers to be the Beast's prisoner in his stead. The Beast agrees and lets Maurice go and he and his servants plan to make Belle try to fall for him in order to revoke the curse, which is hampered when the Beast's nasty temper makes Belle spurn coming to dinner with him. Back at the village at Gaston's tavern, Gaston is still reeling from Belle's rejection, but his spirits are lifted when his lackey, LeFou , and the townspeople sing about how no man measures up to him.

Maurice bursts in and frantically seeks assistance to save Belle from the Beast at the castle, which earns him nothing more than ridicule and rejection by the townsfolk, who simply dismiss him as "Crazy old Maurice". Belle curiously decides to explore around the castle where she meets the servants and at her request, they give her some dinner despite the Beast's orders against it. She soon enters the West Wing, which is the one section of the castle the Beast ordered her not to, and she happens upon the enchanted rose.

But before she touches it, the Beast arrives and frightens her out of the West Wing and out of the castle. Belle tries to escape to the forest, but she is confronted by a pack of wolves who earlier tried to kill Maurice. Before she is eaten by them, however, the Beast arrives and saves her, but he gets wounded by the wolves in the process. She takes him back to the castle where their relationship begins to slowly improve as the Beast begins acting more selfless, even giving Belle access to a library where she can read all of the books she wants.

Meanwhile, inspired by Maurice's 'crazy' story about the Beast, Gaston bribes the head warden of the local insane asylum, Monsieur D'Arque , to incarcerate Maurice unless Belle concurs to wed him. When they go to Belle's cottage, they find it empty as Maurice just left before they arrive, so he forces LeFou to stay at the house until they return.

After sharing a romantic dance, the Beast lets Belle use a magic mirror to see her father and discover that he's lost in the woods.

Seeing her worried, the Beast decides to let Belle leave the castle to save her father. The servants are horrified when Cogsworth tells them this news, fearing that their one chance to be human again was squandered. When Belle gets Maurice back home, they soon find that Chip has stowed away into Belle's bag.

They are soon interrupted by the villagers, led by Gaston, who arrived to send Maurice to the asylum. After rejecting Gaston again, Belle proves that her father is telling the truth by showing everyone the Beast with the magic mirror, which the Beast let her take with her.

Seeing that Belle has feelings for the Beast, Gaston twists the truth that the Beast is a monstrous creature and convinces the villagers to attack him, and they lock Belle and Maurice in the cottage den to prevent them from meddling.

Luckily, Belle and Maurice are soon freed by Chip, who uses Maurice's invention that he was going to take to the fair earlier. At the castle, the servants discover the mob trying to storm the castle and soon get the jump on them when they break open the castle doors.

While the servants battle and chase off the entire townsfolk, Gaston soon finds the depressed Beast in the West Wing. They have a fight outside in the rain, where Gaston taunts the Beast for his feelings to Belle.

When he sees Belle has returned to the castle, he finds the strength to defend himself and threatens to drop Gaston off the rooftops, but he becomes merciful and doesn't. As the Beast attempts to reunite with Belle, Gaston stabs Beast in the back, but this causes him to fall from the rooftops to his demise. The Beast dies in Belle's arms, and she tearfully proclaims her love for him.

When neither succeeds in corrupting her virtue, their anger is so great that they decide to murder her — with the endorsement of her husband. The heroine is ordered to choose the method of her own death: poison, stabbing or shooting. But in a twist in the tale, Madame de Ganges ends up the victim of all three: she is not only forced to swallow the poison, but when she attempts to escape, she is stabbed by one of the brothers, and shot.

The beauty of the young woman was transmuted into the beast of a blackened husk. And so she rewrote the tale again, this time as a fairy tale: Beauty and the Beast.

Like the Marchioness, Beauty willingly goes to, but then is forced to submit to the will of a ferocious beast.
