Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential videoThe film that officially signaled Disney's animation renaissance (following The Little Mermaid) and the only animated feature to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Beauty and the Beast remains the yardstick by which all other animated films should be measured. It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her father's place, imprisoned in the Beast's gloomy mansion. Naturally, Belle teaches the Beast to love. What makes this such a dazzler, besides the amazingly accomplished animation and the winning coterie of supporting characters (the Beast's mansion is overrun by quipping, dancing household items) is the array of beautiful and hilarious songs by composer Alan Menken and the late, lamented lyricist Howard Ashman. (The title song won the 1991 Best Song Oscar, and Menken's score scored a trophy as well.) The downright funniest song is 'Gaston,' a lout's paean to himself (including the immortal line, 'I use antlers in all of my de-co-ra-ting'). 'Be Our Guest' is transformed into an inspired Busby Berkeley homage. Since Ashman's passing, animated musicals haven't quite reached the same exhilarating level of wit, sophistication, and pure joy. --David Kronke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - We love it!
This is the best "Princess" movie out there in my opinion.
It focuses on one of the more valuable lessons in life and positively pushes literacy, self respect, compassion and self reliance through the main character.

I have a 3 year old, so since it's arrived we've seen it about 30 times.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Belle
I bought this DVD in response to all the princess references on TV and various books that were given to my Grand-Daughter. This could be a very disturbing movie for children because of the dark theme and magic. Most kids appear to handle the story fine because, in the end, good triumphs over evil and there is a happy ending. On the second disk, tucked away behind the tea kettle on the menu, is a fantastic music video by Celine Dione and Peabo Bryson, of the title song.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Big screen? Wait for a newer edition
This is one of my favorite Disney films. I was excited when I pulled it out of the box to show it to my 3-year-old daughter for the first time.

Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the DVD. I'm not sure if it's a bootleg copy or if it's just because my vendor shipped the Canadian version (the DVD box was white), but other people have complained about Disney shoehorning too much stuff onto the DVD.

The quality of the images is inconsistent. In some places, it looks chunky and lo res. Belle's Papa's eye color keeps changing.
But worst of all, my 6-month-old DVD player keeps putting a blue bar across the top of the screen with a little movie projector icon every time there's a difference between the regular and work-in-progress edition.

I'm ready to give the DVD to Goodwill and wait for the next version to come out. Buy Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella or Snow White and wait it out.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Never got the item
Theres nothing to review, the company never sent me the package after a confirmation that it was shipped on such date. Amazon had to make them refund my money lol


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible customer service
It seems at this point that all the previous reviews sum it up, no comments needed...but since I am so unsatisfied I will go ahead and vent. I ordered my dvd on Sep. 15th and it was not post marked till Oct.1st(shocker).I FINALLY received my movie today.By looking at the movie it is obviously a copy, guess that's why there was a "delay" in shipping.You need to Stop blaming media mail for everything, your customer service royally sucks!!!Thank you for my refund Amazon:)

Adobe-Macromedia: Separating Fact from Fiction

The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders. While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic. But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.

Asphalt: Urban GT

All About N-Gage have the dirt on a game that looks like it has a lot of potential: Asphalt: Urban GT.  I can't say that I've played much more than some FIFA and other random stuff on the N-Gage, but a good racer can add a lot of value to a gaming platform.  Of course I'm still waiting to see if Call of Duty rocks as much as it should.
