This movie is one I have loved since child now do not misunderstand the Disney version will always remain one of the absolute best but this has personal attachments to me! I used to know every word to almost every song in this movie and I was very happy to find it on Hulu. BUT... there are some descripancies in this film from the orginal story but then again the orginal Grimm Bros. story was written 156 years ago. I absolutely love and adore these old late 80's fairy tale movies even though I was only 1 year old when this one came out I remember it being part of Disney's Magical Saturday Movie Nights that they had at 8:00pm every Saturday night and these movies were the main ones they played so it is no wonder that this is one of my favorites. You can get technical with he minute facts about the flaws in the storyline if you want me however i just want to watch and go back to my childhood!
I give my my very sincere thanks to hulu for posting this movie and please keep it on please!

Certainly worth watching.

I'm a fan of fairy tales, and I've seen several versions of Beauty and the Beast; including musicals and varies different languages. I was disappointed in the portrayal of the Beast. I didn't find him fearful at all, nor was his voice powerful enough. The background score was a good choice, but the lyrics to the musical portions were too mediocre.
