Beauty and the Beast 25th Anniversary - Trailer and Clips

It's been 25 years since Disney released one of their most popular masterpieces, Beauty and The Beast. The 1991 animation picture was a retelling of a 1700's French fairytale written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and featured one of Disney's most loved musical accompaniments. The story follows the story of a beautiful yet rebellious girl named Belle and a beast who has been enchanted by a sorceress and lives in a large castle in the middle of the woods.

Belle lives with her father in a small village, most of the townsfolk dislike Belle as she doesn't conform to their usual traditions but Belle doesn't care about what they think; her father loves her and that's good enough for her. Belle's other admirer is Gaston, the town's most popular citizen. Women adore him and men admire and want to be him but the only woman he can't woo is the one he wants.

Belle becomes worried for her father when he fails to return from market, she sets off on her own to find him. Belle traces his footsteps and finally sees the enchanted castle where her father is being held by the Beast. Wishing for nothing more than her father's safety, Belle makes a deal with the Beast which sees her father leave and Belle take his place.

Thinking of the Beast as nothing more than a brute, Belle is quiet and stays away from him however, she's not alone as she makes friends with all the servants that work in the castle who have also been enchanted by the spell. Despite the Beast's roars and unwelcoming persona, the servants are completely different and show Belle around the castle.

When Belle runs away, the Beast saves her life and what blossoms as a result, Belle had never pictured but with time ticking away and Gaston wishing to take Belle for himself, the pair might be fated to live their lives apart.
