VHS Movie Reviews of Beauty and the Beast (A Walt Disney Classic)

Movie Review: 5 stars for the movie, 4 for the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

Beauty and the Beast is a most own classic in my humble opinion. As someone who watched the oringal movie tons of times I must say I was disappointed with the DVD. First of all, when you place the DVD and hit "play" it automatically plays the "Special Edition" which is an extended version with a new musical number (and cheesy animation). It's not a huge deal because you can change the DVD setting to play the original feature film but I feel the original should have been the default option. Second thing that bothered me about the DVD is that some of the AUDIO WAS CUT OUT from the opening song! Maybe it's just my DVD but I noticed two gaps in audio (since I know all the words). The first gap is after the two old ladies say "that girl is strange, no question" and the second break in audio is after she goes to the bookstore. The lyric "Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, I wonder if she's feeling well" is cut out.

Aside from that, the movie is great for all ages. The cut out audio makes me wish I hadn't gotten rid of my VHS version.

Movie Review: A beloved Story of love and tradegy
Summary: 5 Stars

Master of the castle, enchanted to find love or die to the curse, negotiation for love, a beast and then a gentleman, a hero to ward off the wolves, two finding each other and coming together on their own, a villainous Geston, and Belle confessing her love to a dying prince. Time is short, man must find love whether he wants to or not, too survive. Without love man's escape is death; he is desperate to find a woman who brings love, caring, and warmeth to his castle. A warrior well proven in battle, a slayer of his enemies, a builder of fortress strong, a man who confides weakness in none other, a bringer of fear and terror; he must find love or die; he must champion and win the heart of his woman. Death and lack of love combine into the awful monster.

Pride and Prejudice shares a central theme, a powerful Lord, devoid of love, must find love or perish in despair; "if not Belle then who will he find to love him"; a prisoner of love, harsh terms, and brutal commands of control; a disclosure of vulnerable secret revealing hidden secret; a champion against evil rescuing the dame in distress; a soften of heart, a dinner, and a delightful dance; escape from reality through tales of excalibers swords, a Camelot story. The prince thought to possess love but instead discover that he had to win love. Love could not be commanded or possessed, it had to be freely given. The prince fell helplessly in love with the independent mind of Belle.

Phantom of the Opera, a transformation from peasant girl to princess; to love is to be human; all are confined to roles more robotic, slaves within their domain to an ungrateful master; song and dance of the cups, forks, and saucers.

Cinderella, the beast dies but the prince lives again happily ever after. The love of a father siding with Belle, believing in her, an eccentric fellow of no following, a genius before his time, a lost fellow in the woods, a man to be rescued by his daughter. The Romeo and Juliet scenario did not materialize, but the story has a strong potential for tradegy.

Lancelot and Quinivere, the forbidden love between a Queen and her servant; the noble house falling for the love of a peasant; both forbidden by code and culture.

Movie Review: two years and have seen this movie 10000000 times
Summary: 5 Stars

We had this movie on vhs our daughter can watch this movie 2-3 times a day. (I can not) So each night we watch b 4 bed. She loves the songs and always looks for the "beast" when we go for walks in the woods. Getting the DVD is so much easier and the colors are much better.
