Avis sur le produitLa Belle et la Bête (VHS, 1992) édition diamant noir & DIAMANT NOIR ALADIN

A Classic Animated Film the Way it was Meant to be Seen, In Its unaltered state!

If one is a fan of the original “Beauty and the Beast”, the animated classic from 1991 and still has a VHS player, than this product is for you!

Viewing the film in its VHS format (with the brightness turned down on the TV) lends itself to watching the film the way it should be seen! The animation on the original VHS looks beautiful, very much like a film compared to the THX restoration of “Beauty and the Beast” done in 2002!

If possible find a fair priced copy of this film on VHS to enjoy “Beauty and the Beast” the way it was meant to be seen!

*If one finds a sealed copy for a fair price I would recommend it as it will contain coupons and deals inside the VHS case which add extra nostalgia!Lire l'avis complet...

Classic nostalgia

I recently bought a VCR to kind of relive part of my childhood. This was one of the first Disney movies I saw as a kid, so I knew I needed it for my collection.

Beauty and the Beast

I think that Angela Lansbury is so good as Mrs. Potts! She has a great voice that I can listen to and never get tired of. The movie is well written and a classic Disney movie! I highly recommend this movie!Lire l'avis complet...

The Black Case is More Original and there are a lot less of them.

I am HAPPY to have the Very Rare Original Black VHS Clamshell case that was used for Beauty and the Beast, before the case color was changed to beige.

A must have movie!

Belle (voice of Paige O'Hara) is the most beautiful girl in a provincial town in France. Unfortunately for those who might want her as a wife, including the dim, narcissistic Gaston (Richard White), she's also one of the village's oddest denizens. She keeps to herself, helping her inventor father, Maurice (Rex Everhart), with his contraptions, and, in her spare time, devouring books. She has read just about everything available in the town, and eagerly awaits the arrival of anything new. Every time she ventures outdoors, she draws stares and snickers, but, despite her strangeness, Gaston is determined to marry her.

Then, one fateful day, her father disappears in the forest. Belle goes searching for him and stumbles upon a dark and scary castle. Venturing inside, she discovers a gallery of magical creatures – regular household objects that speak and move. There's Lumiere (Jerry Orbach), a candlestick with impeccable manners and an voice that recalls Maurice Chevalier; Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers), a clock with a high impression of himself and his role in the castle; Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury), a grandmotherly tea pot; and many others. Then there's the Beast (Robby Benson), the terrifying creature who rules over this domain and holds Maurice captive. Once a handsome prince, he has been cursed to remain a beast until he finds someone who truly loves him in spite of his appearance. Now, he is filled with equal parts hope and dread at Belle's arrival -- hope that she might be "the one" to break the spell, and dread that she might be repulsed by his ugliness. Nevertheless, he agrees to release her father if she accedes to being his permanent guest. She makes the bargain, Maurice is set free, and she is trapped. In time, however, Belle discovers that life in the castle is not as dreadful as it initially seems.

One of the top Disney films of all-time, and one of the best films period, Beauty And The Beast is a blend of fairy tale and music the entire family can enjoy together. In all it is one of the greatest love stories ever told.

"Irresistible" is an apt description of this film, because every frame is imbued with a magic that is rare for any motion picture, animated or otherwise. Beauty and the Beast is a triumph of artistry – a rare movie where all of the elements gel perfectly.Lire l'avis complet...

Mrs. Potts is the tops

I gave my great niece a "Beauty and the Beast" tea party set (plastic dishes and a big plastic teapot that holds the dishes) for her third birthday. She enjoyed playing tea party so I ordered the video to see how the teapot fit into the story.
My three year old great niece thought the beast was sort of scary (all the growling, anger, breaking things).
Gaston was a putz.
Mrs. Potts, on the other hand, was sweet and caring and a most congenial hostess for the castle, as was Belle. And it was a treat to hear the late Jerry Orbach as Luminere.Lire l'avis complet...

Exactly what I would expect from a Disney movie!

This movie is exactly what I would expect from Disney- quality animation, great music, it reflects somewhat traditional values, it contains a moral that is easy for even the youngest of children to understand AND it manages to entertain the adults in the audience, as well as the children (without adding anything too inappropriate for the children). I also like that the heroine, Belle, is portrayed as somewhat of an intellectual and that she demonstrates much respect for her father (even though many of the townsfolk think he is a crackpot). However, be aware that it does contain several rather intense scenes that could be scary for the younger ones. I would recommend screening first if your child is at all sensitive.

In his foolish youth a handsome prince turns away a beautiful enchantress disguised as a hag because of her appearance. To teach him a lesson- that true beauty lies within- she places a curse over him turning him into a "beast" that can only be lifted when he learns the true meaning of love and is able to earn the love of another despite his "beastly" appearance.Lire l'avis complet...

A Timeless Classic

I grew up on Disney movies like so many of us and The Beauty and the Beast was my favorite because I just loved Belle and how different she was. And the nostalgia that comes with old videos is just something you don't get on DVDs. The old Disney opening and song with the Disney logo is just classic and I love the old commercials we used to see so that is why I had to get the video even though I already have the DVD. The grainy feel of the picture on videos maybe terrible but I still love videos of Disney movies and feel that a DVD can't compare in that area since it's so "new".Lire l'avis complet...
