First Look: Bonus Features for Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Diamond Edition

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has just shared sneak peeks at just three of the bonus features you’ll find on the Beauty and the Beast: Diamond Edition on Disney Blu-ray/DVD when it’s released on October 5.

In the introduction for the picture-in-picture edition, producer Don Hahn sets up the bonus feature by recalling the first time the film had been screened for the public, far from its completion, at the New York Film Festival. With the picture-in-picture feature, you’ll watch both the original theatrical release and the screened edition simultaneously.

In the following excerpt which talks about how Something There was introduced to the film at ‘the eleventh hour,’ replacing Human Again, Alan Menken reminisces about his writing partner, the beloved late Howard Ashman’s reaction to Paige O’Hara’s initial interpretation of the anthem.

Finally, Angela Lansbury (Mrs. Potts), Robby Benson (Beast) and Paige O’Hara (Belle) talk about recording the music for the film, comparing it to staging a real theatrical production. The clip also includes archival footage of Richard White performing as Gaston.

Beauty and the Beast: Diamond Edition is currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com. For additional information on the bonus features, click here.

Deluxe Limited Edition Belle Dress Now Available from DisneyStore.com; Halloween Booo-tique Opens

Deluxe Limited Edition Belle Dress from Disney StoreA few days ago, we gave you a close-up look at the Disney Store exclusive Limited Edition Belle, the third in the series of collectible Disney Princess dolls. As a result of the phenomenal reception that received, we are pleased to bring you this close-up look at the Deluxe Limited Edition Belle dress that we first told you about during a Disney Store Holiday preview we attended in June.

The dress is a follow-up to a limited edition Snow White dress that Disney Store exclusively released in 2009. Like its predecessor, this dress is limited to 2,000 pieces world wide. Available in girls’ sizes 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10, the 80% polyester/20% nylon dress features a satin underskirt, a gold lame bodice with gold brocade ribbon and gold cord accents, decorated with rosettes and gold ribbon and tulle bows and trimmed with ruffles and puff sleeves.

Pictured along with the dress are the matching deluxe limited edition crown and shoes, each sold separately.

For more information or to order the dress, visit DisneyStore.com. Don’t forget to check out the video of the dress as it’s modeled in motion.

Videos are also available with all of the costumes now available in the Halloween Boootique at DisneyStore.com such as the new Mad Hatter costume inspired by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

Disney Store ‘Belle’ Limited Edition Doll Now Available for Pre-Order; Hi-Res Photo

The Limited Edition Belle (5000) from Disney StoreDisney Store has provided us with this hi-res photo of the new Disney Store exclusive limited edition Belle doll which will be available to own on October 5, the same day Beauty and the Beast is being released on Disney Blu-ray/DVD.

The exquisite 16″ doll which is limited to just 5,000 pieces worldwide joins Snow White and Tiana as the third princess in this highly collectible series from Disney Store which has consistently and rapidly sold out completely very shortly after their respective releases.

With its intricate details inspired by 18th century French fashion, this beautifully designed Belle doll captures the essence of the Beauty that turned a Beast into a handsome prince. The elegance of her golden satin dress is enhanced by the intricate layers of gathering, each punctuated by a shimmering golden rhinestone. The bodice is accented with five perfect golden roses, each capped by a single glittering stone, and gleaming golden jeweled strands which add to the magical look befitting a Disney Princess. A delicate swag of luxurious chiffon held in place by gorgeous golden roses adds the perfect touch to an exquisite gown. Belle holds a single glittering red rose; a fitting testament to the power of true love.

Belle retails for $99.95 and comes complete with a stand and certificate of authenticity (COA). She will not be bundled with an edition of the film.

To view the hi-res version of the photo, click on the thumbnail pictured above. If the resize icon appears in the photo window, you may click it to view the doll at its full size.

Disney Shuffles ‘Monsters,’ Kills the ‘Beast’ and Saves the Date for ‘Prom’

Walt Disney Studios made some announcements earlier today regarding its upcoming slate. Fearing sparkling vampires, Mike Wazowski and Sulley will be making their triumphant return to the silver scream in Monsters Inc. 2 a whopping two weeks earlier now on November 2, 2012.

Despite the tremendous buzz and many supporters, it appears that the already-rescheduled Beauty and the Beast 3D may not make it to theaters in the United States after-all as it has been completely removed from the upcoming release slate. Originally expected to be released in 2010 and then in 2011, the special edition of the film is slated for a limited release overseas later this year.

An update from The Hollywood Reporter suggests the film is still destined for North American theaters, just at a much later date, after consumers have more widely bought into the 3D home theater experience, although that argument appears to hold little water given the number of 3D films being released theatrically to start with, let alone the three releases in 3D from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment later this year (bundled with 2D versions of the films).

Finally, Walt Disney Studios has set a release date for Prom for April 29, 2011.

First Look: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ in 3D Teaser Trailer

Walt Disney Studios New Zealand has just released a teaser trailer for Beauty and the Beast in Disney Digital 3D. According to the trailer, it begins performing in the country August 12 in a very limited release.

The 3D theatrical release of the film, which was originally slated for Valentine’s Day of 2010 in the United States, has been generating tremendous buzz to the point where it’s been suggested that The Lion King and other Disney animated classics may soon follow suit.

It’s expected to open domestically in 2011, most likely during the Valentine’s Day timeframe, but no official date has yet been announced.
