Beauty and the Beast was actually released 31 years ago, but in 1992 it became the first animated film in history to win the Golden Globe for Best Picture, and to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Like Gaston’s robotic lumberjack, it’s been a game-changer.
Beauty and the Beast: 30th Anniversary promises to pay homage to the original film and Broadway adaptation, while applying a host of modern touches (hopefully more successful than the 2017 live-action remake). The original songs will, of course, continue to be central to the production, and will be performed in front of a live audience at Disney Studios.
Oh, and did we mention Martin Short stars as Lumiere? You’ll also want to keep your eyes peeled for some special guest appearances from some of the original cast members. Follow our guide for the full details on how to watch Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration online from anywhere.
