Bella's father, a dolly inventor, sets off on a iourney through the forest, takes a wrong turn, and is imprisoned in the castle of the Beast. And Belle bravely sets off on a mission to rescue him. No gothic castle in the history of horror films, for example, has ever approached the awesome, frightening towers of the castle where the Beast lives. And no real wolves could have fangs as sharp or eyes as glowing as the wolves that prowl in the castle woods. 1 The film is as good as any Disney animated feature ever made - as magical as Pinnac- chio, Snow White, The Little Mermaid. And it's a reminder that animation is the ideal medium for fantasy, because all of its fears and dreams can be made literal. Beauty and the Beast slipped around all my roadbiocks and penetrated directty into my strongest childhood memories, in which animation looked more REAL than live-action features. Watching the movie, I found myself caught up in a direct and joyous way, i waan't reviewing an “animated film." I was being toid a story, I was hearing terrific music, and I was having tun.

A hilarious number cele- brates the monstrous ego of Gaston, who boasts about his hairy chest and the antlers he uses for interior decoration. “Be Our Guest' is a rollicking invita- tion to Belle from the castle Matt, choreographed like Busby Berk- eley running amok. And there is the haunting title song, sung by Mrs. Potts in the voice ot Angela Lensbury. Like all of the best Disney animated films, Beauty and the Beast surrounds its central char, actors with a large peanut gallery of gossipy, chattering supporting players. The Beest's haunted castle contains his entire serving staff, transformed from humans into household objects, and so we meet Lumiere, a Candlestick; Cogsworth, a clock; and Mrs. Potts, a teapot with a little son named Chip. These characters are all naturally on Bella's side, because it the Beast am and his magic spell, they, too, will be. come human again. Beast is actually a handsome young prince who was trans- formed into a hideous monster as a punishment for being cruel. And a beast he will be forever, unless he linds someone who will love him. When Belle arrives at the castle. that lite-saving romance is set into motion - although not, of course, without grave adventures to be overcome.
