Beauty and the Beast https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Beautybeastposter.jpg Dir: Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise Genre: Animated, Musical, Romance Year: 1991 You're going to see several Disney Renaissance films in the top 100 of this list. Maybe it's because these were the movies I grew up with. But I think the better explanation is that this period of Disney is extremely god damn good. The level of animated and musical prowess is unmatched at any other point in movie history--and we'll frankly never see anything like it again. Of all the Renaissance films, one could argue that Beauty and the Beast is the grandest in scale. The songs are the most operatic and the supporting cast is huge and colorful and delightfully weird. The gothic setting here is exactly what I think of when I think of Disney and I am sure this shaped just about all of our imaginations of what the "olden days" of Europe were like. I haven't seen the live action remake, but I don't imagine that it was able to come close to the sheer majesty that is the original. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
