Beauty and the Beast will be available on Blu-ray/Digital HD June 6 with lots of behind-the-scenes bonus content! Get the details and pre-order your copy.
Can I talk about how much I enjoy the live action Beauty and the Beast?! Emma Watson is stunning as a slightly modernized Belle, an inventor in her own right. But to be honest, the book-loving Belle has been an icon for girl power from the beginning. Dan Stevens plays a compelling Beast and it’s great to see some of his origin story and eventually see him open up and be vulnerable with Belle. And Luke Evans is 100% the Gaston we love to hate.
And I have to give a massive shout-out to the star-studded supporting cast: Kevin Kline (Maurice), Josh Gad (LeFou), Ewan McGregor (Lumière), Stanley Tucci (Maestro Cadenza), Audra McDonald (Madame de Garderobe), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Plumette), Hattie Morahan (the Enchantress), and Nathan Mack (Chip) with Ian McKellen (Cogsworth) and Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts).
The film is so entertaining, imbued with all the magic that we love in the animated film.
Well, next month, we’ll be able to bring this beautiful, cinematic home! Beauty and the Beast arrives on Digital HD, Blu-ray, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand on June 6.
In addition to the original theatrical film, the home version also has a premiere cut with overture and a musical experience with a sing-along version. We can also learn more about the process of creating the film by going behind-the-scenes with Director Bill Condon and other filmmakers. Bonus content also include the first table read, a feature on the amazing women behind the enchanted tale hosted by Emma Watson; and over 10 minutes of deleted scenes and musical extras, including the “Beauty and the Beast” music video starring Ariana Grande and John Legend.
