It may seem odd that I am reviewing a children's movie, but my daughter has reached the age where she can be raised by Disney movies, and my wife and I are taking advantage. Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the recreation of a classic tale in which Belle sacrifices her freedom for her father, and becomes prisoner to an enchanted Beast who she eventually comes to love. This was one in a classic line of Disney films, including Lion King and Aladdin, that were each as remarkable as the next. There is only so much that can be said about an animated film, but as far as I am concerned, Beauty and the Beast is great. The music in this film is amazing; I remember loving it the second I heard it as a child, and now my daughter is beginning to fall for it as well. I think it is significant when a film can be passed to down subsequent generations and be continually enjoyed. I think it is also significant that a movie that was created for children can also be appreciated by adults, which makes it a lot easier for us new parents to sit through. Just about everyone I know, including my wife, really enjoyss this movie, and I think if I had to pick one, Beauty and the Beast would be my favorite Disney animated film. I hope one day my daughter will introduce it to her children, because I am sure it will still be considered a classic. I give Beauty and the Beast 4 and a half stars.
