Description

COLLECTOR’S NOTE

This exceptionally rare and historically significant LaserDisc features the unfinished “Work In Progress” version of Beauty and the Beast as actually shown at the 1991 New York Film Festival. What makes this release truly special is that it presents the film in various stages of completion – from pencil sketches and storyboards to rough animation and finished scenes. This unique presentation gives viewers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Disney’s animation process, showing the evolution of what would become the first animated film ever nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
