BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
First full-length Imax!
Posted Mon, 24 Dec 2001

Technology, artistry and imagination join forces to make the 10th anniversary of Walt Disney Pictures' timeless animated classic, "Beauty and the Beast". For this special return, the film makes its giant-screen debut in a digitally-remastered format with improved picture and sound quality.

Adding to the excitement is a never-before-seen animated sequence featuring the song "Human Again", written for the original film by Academy Award-winning songwriters Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. This newly animated scene features Belle, the Beast and an ensemble of enchanted objects (Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, etc.) who express their hopes and desires to resume their human forms.

Based on the beloved fairy tale, "Beauty and the Beast" follows the fantastic adventures of Belle, a beautiful young French girl who yearns to escape the tedium of her provincial life and the advances of her macho-but-conceited suitor, Gaston. Belle's life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself imprisoned by a brooding Beast, whose mysterious past holds the key to their future.

Get to the Imax cinemas in Hyde Park (Jhb), Menlyn (Pta) and Gateway (Dbn), to see why this animated favourite is the only animated feature to ever receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination.

The movie will be released in South Africa on January 1, to coincide with the same-day release of the film worldwide.
