Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray coming Sept. 20

Twenty-five years ago, Disney’s
Beauty and the Beast broke ground as the first animated feature film
to receive an Academy Award nomination for best picture, and now this
tale as old as time joins the Walt Disney Signature Collection on
Sept. 6 on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere, and on Sept. 20 on
Blu-ray™ and DVD.
The Walt Disney Signature Collection
edition features four versions of Beauty and the Beast. The
Blu-ray release will include the original theatrical film; an
extended version with the “Human Again” song sequence and a
never-before-released on home entertainment sing-along version. The
original work-in-progress version will be available digitally and on
Disney Movies Anywhere.
There is also a host of all-new bonus
extras including a rare opportunity to gather around the piano with
some of Disney’s greatest composers, including Alan Menken (Beauty
and the Beast
, Aladdin), Stephen Schwartz (The Hunchback
of Notre Dame, Pocahontas
), Kristen Anderson-Lopez
(Frozen, Disney’s upcoming Gigantic), Robert Lopez
(Frozen, Disney’s upcoming Gigantic) and Lin-Manuel
Miranda (Disney’s upcoming Moana) as they sing and share how
they’ve personally been inspired by the film’s award-winning
music; a look at how Walt Disney himself sought to adapt this famous
fairy tale; a nostalgic look back with Paige O’Hara, the voice of
Belle; behind-the-scenes access into the recording booth with the
