This story is one of my favorites…perhaps my favorite and the most requested Disney film. The story is set in and around a quaint French village during the late 18th century. The Beauty and the Beast follows the fantastic adventures of Belle, an intelligent and beautiful young woman who loves reading. She finds escape from her ordinary life and the advances of a boring and mean suitor (Gaston) through the books she reads.
While her life passes by, in a castle in the distance, a cruel young prince is cast under the spell of an enchantress who turns him into a tormented beast, while transforming his servants into animated household objects. In order to remove the curse, the Beast must discover a true love who will return his affection before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose.
One afternoon, Belle´s beloved father gets lost, finds himself trapped in this castle and is taken prisoner. She will have to go rescue her dad and The Beast releases him in exchange of her promising to stay inside. She does and the magic begins. With the kind and generous help of the enchanted staff, she sees beneath the Beast´s exterior and the heart and soul of a human prince is revealed to her.
As a personal anecdote, the first time I visited The Ritz Carlton, Cancún, I felt inside this story. Even the one of the bellboys reminded me of Dong and the doorman reminded me of Lumiére back then. So if you happen to enjoy or like me, are fond of Beauty and The Beast I totally recommend that you visit this property and become charmed with its magic.
Beauty and The Beast had a sing a long premier at El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard on October 2nd to commemorate the relase of this Diamond Edition. Now, you are able to have your own copy of this edition available in Blu Ray and DVD combo pack starting yesterday.
