Editor's Note:
The Beauty and the Beast legend has a universal appeal; the tale exists in numerous versions throughout the world. In the West, it's best known from the seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries French versions, which Walt Disney considered animating during the late 1930s. Disney gave up on the idea, as he felt the original story was too claustrophobic and lacking in action. Revisited in the 1980s, the animated Disney Beauty and the Beast has several false starts. It was first conceived as an eighteenth-century period piece, directed by the British husband-and-wife team Richard and Jill Purdum. After some changes, two new directors, Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale, were put in charge. Although he was initially reluctant to do another animated film after The Little Mermaid, the late Howard Ashman came on board shortly after the new directors. Over many months, the characters and story gradually took form. But there were many changes and wrong turns. Sequences were created, reworked, cut, and added as the film gradually emerged. After all of its ups and downs, the animated Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991 to rave reviews and record-breaking business. The film was widely hailed as a technical and aesthetic breakthrough. It was the first of only three animated features ever to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Its success has since spun into a smash Broadway musical adaptation, intricately detailed environments at the Disney Parks, and a live-action movie musical directed by Bill Condon. This authoritative book features interviews with artists, producers, directors, writers, actors, and more from the various beloved installments--making it a treasure trove of delights for fans of the tale as old as time.
