Beauty And The Beast [Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray 2D] [Region Free]

Beauty and the Beast is a wondrous product of classic animation combinedwith CGI. It played in theaters for 48 weeks, grossing $144.8 million andearning a Best Picture Oscar nomination. It is the only film to date that hasclaimed such an honor. The making of the film took 4 longs years with morethan 600 animators. The end is result is clearly one of the most "magical"animated pictures of our time.Beauty and The Beast was the second film to use the Computer AnimationProduction System (CAPS) developed by Pixar. This resulted in animationthat was trulygroundbreaking for its time, providing sweeping camera movementsagainst three-dimensional backgrounds.The story is about a selfish prince (voiced by Robby Benson), who livesin an enchanted castle. After turning away an old beggar woman, theprince is transformed into a beast. Given only an enchanted rose, heis told that if he can learn to love another, and earn the same in returnby the time the last petal falls, the spell would be broken.The story is also about a girl named Belle (voice by Paige O'Hara),who is widely adored by the people in her small town, particularly thatof an arrogant Gaston (voiced by Richard White) who wishes to makeher his wife. One day, upon searching for her missing father, Bellearrives at the castle where she finds him imprisoned for trespassing.Belle strikes a bargain with the Beast: if he releases her father, shewill stay with him.To prevent the film from becoming overly dark, the film introducesus to the film's most lovable characters, the castle staff, who havealso fallen under an evil spell. They include Mrs. Potts (AngelaLansbury), Lumiere (Jerry Orbach), Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers)and Chip (Bradley Pierce) who urge the young Belle to "Be ourGuest," in one of the film's most memorable songs.Speaking of which, Beauty and the Beast features what couldbe perhaps be the most spectacular score written for any Disneyfilm with music written by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman(who passed away shortly before the movie opened in 1991). Thefilm's title song won the Academy Award for the Best Original category.What more can be said about this film's transfer than beingabsolutely magnificent? Here is a flawless presentation with imagesthat are breathtakingly striking and a color palette that is remarkablyvibrant. The painted backgrounds look absolutely stunning here. Ofcourse, all of this beauty would not be possible if not for the highdefinition clarity that only the Blu-ray format could provide.Having just witnessed the wonderful job the stenographers did withthe 3D conversion of The Lion King, I went into this film with highexpectations. My only concern was that it was announced in Januaryof 2010 that the 3D theatrical release of Beauty and The Beast wouldbe indefinitely postponed after the studio spent millions on the conversion.Upon just completing viewing this new 3D release, I can confidently say thatI don't see any technical issues with the conversion. In fact, likeThe Lion King, I find that Beauty and The Beast benefits greatly fromthe enhancements it has been given. Take for instance the film'sopening musical number where Belle is greeted "Bonjour!" by the townspeople.The best way to describe the appearance of this scene would be if oneopened a pop-up book and discovered its perimeter lined with cut-outsof villagers with a horse and carriage sitting squarely in the middle. Thescene is very effective in establishing depth, though the deepnessbetween foreground and background seems more subdued than animatedfilms that are specifically formulated for the format. The animators whoworked on this project starting in 2007 simulated the 3D environment bygiving various characters, props and effects the impression of volume. Inseemingly more ways than The Lion King, the animators had a lot ofprops to play with. Take for instance the scene where Belle's father islost in the woods. The animators put emphasis on having the charactersplaced behind eerie tree branches and wind-swept leaves that take theforefront of action giving a real sense of foreboding danger. To give youan idea of how character sizing is used , one needs only to look at thescene where Cogsworth is giving Belle a tour of the castle. As the tinyclock walks down a long hallway lined with suits of armor, you really getnice sense of deep depth. I can just imagine how the castle becamea virtual playground for the animation team who put emphasis in bringingthe goth statues and hanging chandeliers to the forefront. Falling snowand rain also do well here, taking on a life of their own as the action playsout beneath it. Even a more subdued effect featuring a sprinkling saltshaker in the musical number, "Be Our Guest," is quite effective. Theinfamous ballroom dance scene is enhanced with the 3D process as thechandelier becomes a more prominent centerpiece as the camera swoopsdown the staircase. Even the long glass ballroom windows with their star-filledsky backdrop looks more lifelike then ever before. Don't expect anything toleap or poke out from the screen. There wasn't any moment that anythingextended beyond the borders of the displayThe only minor problems that exist here, hardly worth mentioning,is a bit of noticeable aliasing in the quick movements of the animation.I think I only noticed it briefly here and there. Ghosting is essentiallynonexistent -- only really saw it in Lumiere's character during the "BeOur Guest" number, outlining his candle figure.The Blu-ray's 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix (downcoverted to 5.1 onmy system) is the perfect compliment to the film's pristine video. Withclear dialogue firmly fixed across the center channels and the rears bringingup the film's score and effects, the mix becomes an engulfing experiencefor the viewer. As one would hope, LFE support is immense here, particularlyduring the beast's roar or the rain and thunder that underscore the film's finalclimatic battle scene.Beauty and The Beast arrives as a 4-disc set with Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray 2D,DVD and Digital Copy housed in lenticular packaging. The 2D Blu-rayboasts three versions of the film (original theatrical, special extended andoriginal storyboard version). There are deleted scenes, an alternate opening,featurettes on the digital restoration as well as Broadway Beginnings (to namejust a few).Beauty and The Beast remains a captivating, enchanting talewith the some of the most memorable music and lovablecharacters ever brought to the animated screen. I'll say the samething about this conversion as I did for The Lion King....it lookslike a labor of love from the animators that worked so diligently on it.I actually prefer the 3D on Beauty of The Beast more for the factthat there are so many more props to work with.There are those that just won't tolerate a 2D film that has beenre-imagined for 3D. I can't blame people for feeling that way whenin the past, studios have done a rather sloppy job in the theconversion process. It's very clear that in the case of Disney,real thought and care was put into the project. It's just astoundingto see a piece of artwork like this brought to new life by the depththat 3D provides. It's an effort truly deserving of the stampDisney puts on it.No hesitation recommending Beauty and The Beast on 3D Blu-ray.

This is a great movie, I love it and that’s why I bought this 3D Blu-ray. Unfortunately, the 3D conversion is very bad. Aside from a scene or two, there wasn’t a noticeable difference between 2D and 3D. If you are looking for an awesome Disney 3D movie, buy “Tron Legacy,” you won’t be disappointed.

I purchased the 3D re-mastered version of Beauty and the Beast for my 3D blu-ray collection, and it's wonderful! Right from the opening scene of Beast's castle, you will be surprised how well Disney transferred this film into 3D. The images of the inside of the castle throughout the film are especially well done, as well as the "Be our guest" scene, and the Gaston's Tavern scene. Throughout the movie, my wife kept commenting on how much detail she noticed that she never did before, and how it was like seeing the movie for the first time! I highly recommend adding this to your 3D blu ray collection!

Possibly the last GREAT animated Disney movie presented in eye-popping 3D! We all know this was the only Disney Animated Classic movie to be nominated for best picture, and watching it again (in 3D) really reminded me why. Gorgeous hand draw 2D animation is a lost art i n this day and age, and here you get to see it at it's best. The packaging is very nice, even the Blu-ray discs look neat! Since Blu-ray are region free, this worked fime with our U.S. Blu-ray and 3D HDTV.

Of course, everyone will agree that this is a great movie! It's always been a favorite of mine since watching it with my daughter when she was a toddler. I'm writing this review to address the negative reviews saying that this UK import wasn't a genuine edition and didn't have 3D effects. I watched it last night and, though the 3D effects weren't "amazing," it was definitely 3D and I thought the picture was nice and clear. The voices/songs were all perfect (who could ever forget Angela Lansbury's wonderful tea pot?), such classics!

So cool! Limited edition UK region free 3D-2D Beauty and the beast, I'm very happy. Mine came right away from the UK and with the slipcover! As a movie collector, I love region free foreign packaging. This was a nice find for me, and the cover is so beautiful. The cost is pretty much the same price as the American Blu-Ray only version with the slipcover, this is worth the extra couple of dollars. Filled with many hours of special features, see the back for details on the special features! A+

Region free UK import, works on my USA region pc blu-ray player from LG, older model one at that, so if you're on the fence hop off and come on over... it's worth the purchase! It's very good to see this classic reborn on 3D blu-ray and very much masterfully done by the Disney crew! Walt would be proud, and probably even shed a tear of joy at how well his team continued on the tradition of evolving technology!

Was great

In addition, CAPS allowed easier combination of hand-drawn art with computer-generated imagery, which before had to be plotted to animation paper and then Xeroxed and painted traditionally. This technique was put to significant use during the "Beauty and the Beast" waltz sequence, in which Belle and the Beast to dance through a computer-generated ballroom as the camera dollies around them in simulated 3D space. The filmmakers had originally decided against the use of computers in favour of traditional animation, but later, when the technology had improved, decided it could be used for the one scene in the ballroom. The success of the ballroom sequence helped convince studio executives to further invest in computer animation.Voice Cast: Robby Benson, Jesse Corti, Rex Everhart, Angela Lansbury, Paige O'Hara, Jerry Orbach, Bradley Pierce, David Ogden Stiers, Richard White, Jo Anne Worley, Mary Kay Bergman, Brian Cummings, Alvin Epstein, Tony Jay, Alec Murphy, Kimmy Robertson, Hal Smith, Kath Soucie, Frank Welker, Jack Angel, Bruce Adler, Scott Barnes, Vanna Bonta, Maureen Brennan, Liz Callaway, Philip L.

It transcends children's animation and becomes something much more. When I think 'Beauty and the Beast' I immediately think of Disney. It's a connection without question that has become synonymous.'Beauty and the Beast' is full of excitement, an enthralling story, and some of the most memorable musical numbers to ever grace the big screen. There isn't a song on 'Beauty and the Beast' that can possibly be ignored. Each one demands your attention as they shower you with nostalgic memories of Disney's hand drawn animation heyday.Because he refused to give refuge to a haggard-looking woman, a young prince has been cursed, transformed into a hideous beast, and his entire staff of servants changed into living inanimate objects, like clocks and candlesticks. Like many of these stories go, the curse can only be broken by true love.Belle is a beautiful young girl who lives in the neighbouring town. She loves reading, breaks into song on a moment's notice, and lives with her kooky father Maurice. Belle is a curious creature, and has her head on straight when it comes to life. The town macho, Gaston, has his eye on her. Gaston boasts about how many eggs he eats every day and how accurate his spitting is, because he is a real man's man. Only a manly man would use antlers in all of his decorating. Gaston is sure that Belle is going to marry him, who wouldn't want to marry him? He's the finest male specimen around.Belle's father Maurice is an inventor, and on his way to a fair to show off his new invention he gets lost and finds himself at the steps of a strange castle and it's interesting that this castle has been there for some time, and the townspeople are only now realising it. Maurice is imprisoned by the beast. Once Belle realises he's missing, she goes out looking for him, finds the castle, and trades herself for her father's life. We know what must happen from here. Belle must embark on the seemingly impossible quest of loving a beast. But compared to Gaston, the beast is a catch.In a day and age when computer animation is all the rage, it's amazing to revisit 'Beauty and the Beast' and see just how beautiful hand drawn animation can be. The animation here is some of the most colourful and lively in all of Disney's long line of animated features. The music, created by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken which is the same duo that worked together on 'The Little Mermaid,' which in some cases has not only stayed in our minds ever since this animation film was released. But to this day, "Be Our Guest" still pops up in my head continually, as it has now gone into the annuls of popular musical song culture.Nowadays, with the Ten Best Picture slots at the Oscars, it's much easier for animated films to find their way into the awards picture. Back when 'Beauty and the Beast' was made, it was unthinkable that a children's animated feature could be nominated for Best Picture. 'Beauty and the Beast' is a classic fairy tale, and with Disney's touch, it has become one of the most memorable and influential animated features of all time.3D Blu-ray Video Quality – For this 3D release, 'Beauty and the Beast' is presented in a stunning encoded 1080p image transfer in the 1.78:1 aspect ratio. Painstakingly converted, this is an absolutely stunning experience that opens the film up in new and exciting ways. To be perfectly honest, I am a huge supporter of 3D, but always sceptical about conversions of already existing 2D films, so I went into this release with some pretty strong reservations. With that in mind, for those who admit that they feel this 3D Blu-ray disc might have a sceptical stance, well don’t, as overall, the 3D video image is simply outstanding and totally gorgeous and is wonderfully bold and rich colours light up the screen from the moment the film starts, and it does not let up until the credits role at the end of the animation film. Detail is exceptional, showing off the intricately designed characters and locations, from cosy towns and spooky woods to Baroque castles and lush countryside's, revealing every stroke of the animators' hard work. Of course the real focus of this release is the 3D effect. So, how does it look? Well, with the exception of a few minor snags here and there, it's quite stunning, essentially offering a pristine window into a beautiful storybook world. Depth is also fantastic, separating the various planes of the frame into distinct layers that still work organically together. While there certainly is a pop-up book quality to the presentation, and in this case that's not a bad thing, the 3D effect gives a slight curvature to the 2D characters and objects, making them feel a little more spatially rounded than completely flat. Wide shots tend to look the most striking, offering an immense perception of distance between foreground objects and background locations. Swirling leaves, soaring birds, and flying bats all provide some nice pop-out moments that extend slightly outward from the screen. Various forms of precipitation are particularly impressive, and a few shots that start indoors and then slowly track out into the falling snow feature a great amount of immersion. Even comparatively subtle moments, like a scene where Belle holds a flower and blows the petals away, causing them to dance inward and outward around the screen, are a treat to behold. All of the major set-pieces, including the playful "Be our Guest" performance, and the beloved title track sequence set in an extravagant ballroom, utilise just the right amount of subtlety and you definitely get those "wow" moments. Of course nothing really compares to the climax, which features the townspeople storming the Beast's castle and with a constant flow of rain drenching the foreground and splashes of lightning electrifying the frame, the moody atmosphere is taken to an entirely new level thanks to the 3D effect. All of the visuals swell with the rousing music in a way that simply couldn't happen in 2D Blu-ray version alone. While this is a wonderful transfer, there are some very minor issues. There are a couple of instances in which the converted effects feel slightly unnatural or where proportions of distance between different parts of characters or objects feels a little off. Also, in some rare instances where there is a lot of detail, activity, and motion all at once, the image can get a little jumbled and a bit disorienting. Ghosting is also present, but it is negligible and mostly occurs when there is a dark object in the foreground, plus various statues in the Beast's castle, for example. All of these issues are really very minor and I thought I had better point out these minor flaws; however, it does not detract from what is otherwise a beautiful flawless 3D conversion.Blu-ray Audio Quality – Disney went back to the source with original sound mixer Terry Porter, who was nominated for Best Sound in 1999, and created an all-new 7.1 mix. After creating a 7.1 mix for the originally mono-track 'Snow White' and making it sound superb, I had no reservations that Disney would be able to take 'Beauty and the Beast' and remix it to perfection. In short, they have. I can't think of a Disney's film library that could benefit more from a 7.1 mix than 'Beauty and the Beast.' There's so much going on, and the musical numbers alone demand a mix that can support their sheer size and spectacle. Dialogue is spread throughout the front part of the sound field, even finding its way into the side speakers for some stellar directionality that caused me to turn my head more than once. The Beast's voice is full of life, and the sub gets a heavy workout during his numerous yells and roars. Frankly, it's so deep and resonant; it's what you also experience with the film 'Jurassic Park' and its awesome T-Rex. The rear of the sound field is almost just as busy as the front. There isn't a time where the rears aren't at the least engaged. The musical numbers bring the surround sound to life as the characters sing and dance, engulfing you in this stunning Disney 3D Blu-ray. The Sound effects are pristine, pans sound perfect. This is one of the best high definition sound presentations of the year, if not the best. Everything from the crystal clear dialogue and song lyrics to the chaotic cacophony of sounds that accompany the great battle scene at the end are perfectly remixed to give us the most wondrous sound design 'Beauty and the Beast' has ever enjoyed on home video.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Beauty and the Beast: 3D Version [1080p] [85:00]Beauty and the Beast: Special Extended Version [1080p] [92:00] The biggest, and most notable change to the animation film here is the addition of the originally cut musical number called "Human Again."

This 3D version gives viewers an impressive new way to experience this stunning animation film that actually enhances the original content through some wonderfully immersive 3D effects. Like its 2010 predecessor, it stands as both a must-have release and a solid contender for the studio's best Blu-ray release of the year. Yes, even though it's arguably a mere re-issue of sorts. Fans will be treated to three full versions of the classic animated film, two reference-level video transfers, an immersive 3D experience, a monstrous 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround track, and hours upon hours of special features including a Picture-in-Picture Story reel presentation, a filmmakers audio commentary, a three-hour branching documentary and much, much more. Without hesitation or clarification, `Beauty and the Beast' in 3D earns my unabashed highest ultimate praise. Very Highly Recommended!Andrew C.

I wanted anything to test my new 3D TV and this is my (27 year old) girlfriend's favourite movie. As it happened this was remastered and released a few days before her birthday so things worked out a treat. It arrived on time in good condition and in perfect working oreder. Absolutely nothing for me to complain about. If you want this product, buy it at a fair price from Gary Trousdale

More so bought for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas, I'm hoping she will love it :) Who wouldn't want their daughter to have Beauty and the Beast in their film collection and more so on Disney blu ray?? Perfect :D I look very much forward to her opening it up on Christmas day morning!!

Since, Beauty & The Beast was released I always that the scene where Belle & the Beast were dancing in the in the ballroom under the chandelier, I always thought, wow what an amazing piece of animation (up to that point of time). My other thought, was the only thing that could make this scene more amazing, would be make it 3D. I was right. It was worth the wait. Since it is not available in the U.S. even though Disney said they were releasing the 3D version, the put it in the closet without releasing it to Us citizens. At least I was able to obtain a copy here. Region Free works in the U.S. As long as you are using Blu Ray.

Don't buy as it's not 3d as stated
