Everyone had their favorite Disney movie. My daughter is obsessed with The Little Mermaid, the husband loves The Muppets (hehe), and me…. well I have long loved Beauty and the Beast…and now, it’s coming to theaters in 3D starting January 13, 2012!
Some interesting facts about Beauty and the Beast:
- The film was nominated for six Academy Awards®, winning Oscars® for Best Song, by the renowned Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, and Best Original Score (Menken).
- “Beauty and the Beast” was the first animated feature to cross the $100 million plateau in its initial release.
- Alan Menken has been nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 15 times with seven wins. Prior to his death in 1991, Howard Ashman received six Oscar® nominations with two wins.
- Three years after the film’s debut, “Beauty and the Beast” hit Broadway. The musical opened at the Palace Theatre and ran in New York for 5,464 performances between 1994 and 2007, becoming the eighth-longest running production. It has played in 13 countries and 115 cities and continues to enchant audiences worldwide.
I cannot wait! I saw both in the theater and on Broadway and it never once failed to amaze me, so you can bet I will be first running out to see this when it comes out.

This is great! I love Beauty and the Beast when I was growing up.. My niece also love it! Can’t wait to watch it on 3D!
I LOVE this movie, but I’m not so sure about the 3-D. I’m kind of over the whole 3-D thing already.
I have it in my home DVD library, why would I want to go see it in 3D? I see it all the time at home.
