I thought I'd just pick one DVD for tonight and that'd be it. However, guess I just picked the wrong one.....
Beauty and the Beast special edition, that is. Why would I say it's a wrong one? Coz once I started playing it, I couldn't stop it. (You can tell by the time I post this.) There are 3 versions of the original film, and I went thru each one of them. Plus, I watched the bonus nearly-2-hour "behind the scence" DVD.
I wasn't a big fan of this particular film until I watched this DVD again today. I guess I was too young to truely get the deep meanings of the work when the film was premiered in 1991. The origianl story is noticed by Walt Disney but was being put aside until 1756. It's Roy Edward Disney, the present Vice-President of the Disney Company, who brought the story on stage.
It's a meaningful fairy tale that talks about loving people not becasue of how they look, but becasue of who they really are inside, within their hearts.
How can I end this without mentioning Disney's greatest achievement as they always do? MUSIC!!! The composers, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, are the geniuses!! (I'm now their bog fan.) Sad is that Howard died 6 months before the premiere because of AIDS.
I was so enchanted with the narrative, the lines, and the music.....And I almost cried.....I saw not only the film but also bunch of people's efforts. They make the film possible, and try so hard to make a little difference in the world .
Keep up the good work, Disney!!!
