Beauty And The Beast will sparkle like a diamond this fall
Walt Disney Home Entertainment has announced a Diamond Edition release for their animated feature Beauty And The Beast, bringing the film to Blu-Ray Disc for the first time.
Set in and around a quaint French village during the late 18th century, ìBeauty and the Beastî follows the fantastic adventures of Belle, a bright and beautiful young woman who finds escape from her ordinary life, and the advances of a boorish suitor, Gaston, by reading books. Meanwhile, off in a castle in the distance, a cruel young prince is cast under the spell of an enchantress who turns him into a tormented beast, while transforming his servants into animated household objects. In order to remove the curse, the Beast must discover a true love who will return his affection before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose. When Belleís inventor father stumbles upon the Beastís castle and is taken prisoner, Belle comes to the rescue and agrees to take her fatherís place. With the help of the castleís enchanted staff, she sees beneath the Beastís exterior and discovers the heart and soul of a human prince.
