About Beauty and the Beast – The Timeless Tale of Transformation and Tolerance

Beauty and the Beast, an American animated musical romantic fantasy film by the Walt Disney Company, is based on the traditional fairytale by French writer Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. The writer first published this now famous story in her 1740 novel, La Jeune Ameriaine et les contes marins (The Young American and Marine Tales).

The first Beauty and the Beast film premiered in September 1991 at the New York Film Festival as an unfinished film. The theatrical release of the story soon followed in November and proved to be a big hit, contrary to what many initially believed. It grossed $425 million worldwide with only a $25 million budget.

The Success of Beauty and the Beast – The Film

The film was a huge success by any standard. It won the Best Motion Picture Award in the "Musical or Comedy" category at the Golden Globes and was also the first animated film to be nominated for an Oscar in the "Best Picture" category at the 64th Annual Academy Awards. It also won several Academy Awards at the ceremony, including for the "Best Original Score" and the "Best Original Song" for its title song. The song also won three Grammy Awards in 1993, including one for the "Best Pop Instrumental Performance." The animated film was a commercial and critical success.

Beauty and the Beast – The Broadway Production

The musical was also adapted from the same French fairytale as the 1991 film, and turned out to be a great success. It won a Tony Award in the "Best Costume Design" category and was nominated for an additional eight Tony Awards. Beauty and the Beast was also nominated for ten Drama Desk Awards in 1994.

The Story of Belle and Her True Love

The plot of Beauty and the Beast follows the life of a beautiful, young, and intelligent woman, Belle, in a small village. After a twist of fate, Belle comes across the 'Beast', who is actually a prince trapped in the body of a beast due to an enchantress' spell. The condition for the Beast to turn back into himself is simple: to learn to love and be loved back. If this happens, the curse on him will be broken. The Beast is seriously short on time and if he does not learn his lesson soon, he and all his household members will be condemned to eternity! Watch as a unique romance unfolds between the delicate and beautiful Belle and the rough and tough Beast. Adding an element of fun and hilarity to the drama are the full-of-life objects inside the Beast's castle. Lumiere and the servants make sure that Belle is taken care of inside the castle and try their best to ensure that their guest and their master end up falling for each other.
