Beauty and the Beast: 3 Movie Collection

Triple bill of Disney's animated 'Beauty and the Beast' features.

In 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991) a prince is turned into an ugly monster by a magical spell and finds that the only way out of his predicament is to win the love of the beautiful Belle (voice of Paige O'Hara).

Belle agrees to come and stay at his home in exchange for the freedom of her father, whom the Beast (Robby Benson) had previously captured.

At first she is repulsed by his hideous features, but as time passes she learns to recognise his true inner beauty. 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas' (1997) returns to the time when Belle was imprisoned in the Beast's castle, and follows the young woman's attempts to bring some Christmas cheer to her surroundings, even though the Beast doesn't like the festive season.

To this end, Belle invites all the enchanted objects from the castle to help, encouraging them to sing and dance so that the spirit of Yuletide might thaw the Beast's heart. 'Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World' (1998), set prior to the ending of the original film, is divided into four chapters and follows Belle, Beast, Lumiere (Jerry Orbach), Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers) and the castle's other enchanted beings as they all try to get along with each other.

Chapters are: 'The Perfect Word', 'Fifi's Folly', 'Mrs. Potts' Party' and 'The Broken Wing'. Includes two original songs, 'Listen With Our Hearts' and 'A Little Thought'.
