BEAUTY & THE BEAST: DIAMOND W/DVD IN BD

2. Amazon.com essential video
The film that officially signaled Disney's animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches the Beast to love. What makes this such a dazzler, besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items) is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman. (The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar, and Menken's score scored a trophy as well.) The downright funniest song is "Gaston," a lout's paean to himself (including the immortal line, "I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting"). "Be Our Guest" is transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage. Since Ashman's passing, animated musicals haven't quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit, sophistication, and pure joy. -.-David Kronke -.-This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |

My daughter was really happy when we got this DVD. She watched it four times so far, and it's one of her favorites.

The delivery was very fast, especially since I ordered it from Hawaii. The DVD was in perfect working order. I would order from this dealer again.

When things go wrong..., September 01, 2010
When things go wrong Bayside Media gets it fixed fast. We were sent the wrong movie, but were given the movie we did receive while we waited for the correct one to arrive. The mix up was recognized immediately, and resolved quickly by a friendly staff member who kept me informed. When we did receive the movie we ordered, the DVD was in excellent condition and packaged carefully. I would definitely order from Bayside Media again despite the mild inconvenience.

Review of purchase., August 30, 2010
This was a terrible purchase. It was a copied version of a Disney Classic. A bad copy at that. Even the paperwork had terrible coloring on it. I thought I was getting an original Disney movie and I did not. |
