Bring Home the Timeless Tale Beloved by Generation and Go Beyond the Magic & Music in Ways Like Never Before, and for the first time, experience how this film was brought to life.
Today is the DVD release of the current top grossing film of 2017, Beauty and The Beast. After seeing success making live adaptations of classics like Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book Disney swung for the fences recreating Beauty and The Beast. Securing an All-Star cast led by Emma Watson and director Bill Condon it was sure to be a world wide success critically and financially. The live adaptation of Beauty and The Beast kept all the classics things we loved about the original while taking the opportunity to expand the story. In this version of Beauty and The Beast we get a better understanding of how the prince became The Beast and how Belle became the woman she is. To top the theatrical release of this movie Disney has added an abundant amount of bonus features that will leave you mesmerized in the making of this enchanted tale.
The fan favorite of this Blu-Ray will be all the musical extras. From Song to Screen: Making the Musical Sequences where the viewer can see what went into making some of the best-known moments from Beauty and the Beast, to the Disney Song Selection where fans can sing along with all their favorite songs in the movie. Fans of all ages can sing their hearts away all day long listening to the classic songs from this musical.
The main star of the main bonus features has to be the Enchanted Table Read where you witness the movie’s elaborately staged table read, complete with singing and dancing to live music, set pieces and more.. Unlike anything you have ever seen before, Bill Condon and the cast act, sing, and dance through the entire script showing all the details that went into this movie. This feature reminded me of one of my all time favorite plays Noises Off where you can see all the controlled chaos that goes on behind the scenes of a great production. This feature gives great insight into how much the entire cast respected and appreciated what they were being a part of.
