An evening of delightful animation

Beauty and the Beast is my favourite Disney animation. Ever.

With the advent of advanced animation technology, the viewer is treated to all sorts of new-age cartoons. But in its time, Beauty and the Beast was a phenomenon. Blending traditional cartoon with computer generated imagery, Beauty and the Beast has found a niche in the Disney Renaissance era. The first ever animated film to be nominated for an Oscar Best Picture, Beauty and the Beast clearly moved the movie world with its stunning images and engaging songs.

Have you seen that scene where Belle and the Beast waltzed in a three-dimensional ballroom? Splendid, wasn’t it? Notice that Belle’s lovely gown swirls realistically with every turn she makes. Details make this animated movie a cut above the rest.

I haven’t bought the midquels yet, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and Belle’s Magical World. I plan to sometime soon. So until then…and I leave you with my most favourite scene from the movie…
