Rating: - THE BEST IN ANIMATION EVER !!
out of all the princess movies, this is the best. truly a magical tale, that will never get old. it's an unforgettable story and takes you on a whole different ride. it's a classic that is a must have. a breathtaking fairytale that is just outstanding and a fine piece of work. they outdid themselves on this one for real. beauty and the beast, a tale of a girl who lives with her father. one day he is captured by a beast who lives in a secluded castle. he is taken as prisoner, and when his daughter, belle, finds out runs to his rescue. she asks the beast for mercy and that she will take her fathers place in return for his freedom. he agrees, and through that journey comes hope, discoveries, and adventure. she realizes that there is more to the beast than meets the eye, and he discovers that it's okay to open your heart. he lives in an enchanted castle and he and everyone in it is under a spell that only true love can break. belle is their hope, and love can not be forced, so if it is to happen it will come pure from heart. but as always where there is love there is jealousy and hate. in comes the awful gaston, who wants belle as his own, and will kill the beast in order to keep her and sooth his bruised ego. but evil never triumphs, and this is just another example of that. you get so involved in the film that you are just rooting for a happy ending. then it touches you on an emotional level, like few others have. very exciting, and a joy for kids and adults alike. both the movie and the extras are great. if you have not seen it then you must. in no way anything else than a great time, and a story worth telling over and over again.

Rating: - Very Poor Quality DVD
The movie is one of the best Walt Disney movies created in my opinion. I was very excited to purchase this movie for my 2 year old daughter, only to be disappointed. The quality of the DVD I received was awful. The DVD came in a blank sleeve not even the right movie casing (no movie casing). I paid full price for a poorly burned DVD. Also, the entire movie has captions on the bottom of the screen that are permanently there for the entire movie taking up most of the screen. I am very unsatisfied with the seller of this product. I expected a lot more for what I paid and I am expecting a full refund from the seller.

Rating: - Truly magical
Even though this movie wasn't geared for my age group upon its release in the early-90s, I, nonetheless, absolutely fell in love with this animated version of "Beauty and the Beast."

It takes a hell of a movie for me to want to sit down and watch it from beginning to end every time I pop the tape in the VCR (remember them?) and I can't help but do that with this movie.

The animation looks kind of slow compared to how things are today (with everything looking as realistic as possible), but that doesn't detract from the quality of this movie.

"Beauty and The Beast" is definitely for all age groups. Adults can fall in love with this just as easily as children (even moreso. You never know!). - Donna Di Giacomo
