WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Once upon a time...a young woman named Belle happened upon a castle and was imprisoned by the Beast who lived there. Yet, Beauty and the Beast soon fell in love, and it is her love that could break the spell that had been cast upon the Beast and his castle. “Beauty And The Beast” was the first (and only) animated motion picture to be nominated for Best Picture by the Motion Picture Academy. This two-disc “experiential” DVD set includes the new 91-minute Special Edition originally prepared for IMAX and Large Format presentation and features the newly-completed “Human Again” sequence deleted from the original release. The DVD also includes the original 84-minute Oscar®-winning theatrical edition as well as the 84-minute Work-In-Progress cut shown at the 1991 New York Film Festival which features a mixture of completed scenes and rough pencil sketches and unfinished footage.
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a lovely animated picture for the theatrical and special editions, with sharp and detailed images and excellent dimension. Colors are rich and vibrant, with full saturation and deep blacks. Despite slight edge enhancement noticed around images at times, this is a very nicely rendered DVD. The Work In Progress version is a mix of both near-final animation and raw sketches and layering. This version is full of dirt and artifacts, but looks the way it is intended to. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is a new remastering effort, and the result is a lively soundstage presentation with the music, which will surely engage and entertain. In the presence of the music, the soundfield is abundantly active with prominent surround activity, though with limited stereo separation. The fidelity is somewhat dated, and is noticeable especially with the dialogue. Still, voices sound distinctively clear and nicely recorded. There is also quite a notable low-end, both with music and effects, the latter with some instances of .1 LFE content. The winning factor with this soundtrack is the music, with its substantially expansive, engulfing presence. (Perry Sun)
