Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies. When I was a teenager I remember babysitting for this one couple and watching the animated version of Beauty and the Beast over and over. I’ve taken Peyton to see theatre performances of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast a few times. One time was even a dinner theatre performance! That one was really fun. This past year, Disney released Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson as Belle. And now, it’s available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
Peyton saw Beauty and the Beast in the theater a few months ago. She loved it! It does run two and half hours long so I was questioning if her attention would hold that long, but it did. They way Disney transformed an animated classic to a live-action movie that enchants viewers and transports them to France so they feel like they are part of the story.
Beauty and the Beast is available at your local retailer in Blu-Ray and DVD versions and online to purchase. However, there are a few benefits to picking up a Blu-Ray copy.
