Beauty and the Beast is a classic Disney film. Directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, it was the first animated feature to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, marking a significant achievement in cinematic history.

The story centres on Belle, a bright and independent young woman who becomes the prisoner of a Beast in his enchanted castle. Despite her circumstances, Belle sees beyond the Beast’s daunting exterior, discovering a kind heart beneath the gruff facade. This timeless tale explores themes of inner beauty, redemption, and the transformative power of love.

The film is renowned for its stunning animation and daring use of CGI, particularly in the iconic ballroom scene, which set new standards for animated features. Alan Menken’s score, paired with Howard Ashman’s lyrics, produced unforgettable songs like “Be Our Guest” and the titular “Beauty and the Beast,” which won Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song.

“Beauty and the Beast” continues to resonate with audiences, inspiring a live-action adaptation in 2017. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to weave a narrative that is both magical and deeply human, reminding us that true beauty comes from within.
