Whenever released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast marked a level for Walt Disney Photos by appealing to millions of followers with its Oscar-winning musical rating by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken. In Bill Condon’s viewpoint, that original score is the key reason he decided to direct a live-action edition of the movie. “That rating had more to reveal”, he says, “You look into the songs and there’s not really a clunker in the group. Actually Frank Rich described this the best Broadway musical associated with 1991. The animated edition was already darker and more contemporary than the previous Disney fairytales. Take that vision, place it into a new medium, allow it to be a radical reinvention, some thing not just for the stage simply because it’s not just being exacto, now other elements enter into play. It’s not just getting real actors do it”.
