| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseAs far as "Classic Disney," Beauty and the Beast pretty much has it all. Y'know, for kids. [Blu-ray] |
| EmpireEmma CochraneWith its strong characters and lively storytelling, animated or not, this deserves its place alongside the cinema greats. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineThe 3D is unnecessary - but it doesn't spoil the fun of Beauty and the Beast. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorIt's less a whole new experience than a slightly different one and the main reason for seeing it isn't the newly immersive effects but the profound awesomeness of the original movie. It still gets you. |
| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezOne of the brightest jewels in Disney's crown, Beauty and the Beast's 3D reissue takes nothing away and makes the film's brilliance even easier to appreciate; the movie is more beautiful and timeless than it ever was. |
| AwardsCircuit.comChristopher JamesThe animation still pops. Each song lodges itself in your brain. The imagination jumps off the page. Most importantly, Belle and Beast's love story inspires swoons and tears. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsDisney, please understand ... what people are actually showing up for ... they just want to see classic Disney on the big screen. The 3D is incidental. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA lovely film that ranks with the best of Disney's animated classics. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe greatest animated film ever made and one of the screen's great musicals hardly needs this (3D) sort of sprucing up. |
