"Beauty and the Beast" is a song written by lyricist

Both versions of "Beauty and the Beast" were very successful, garnering both a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song, as well as Grammy Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The single was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. Lansbury's performance has been universally lauded by both film and music critics. While the Dion-Bryson version received mixed reviews from critics who felt that it was not as good as Lansbury's original, the single became a commercial success, peaking at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the better-known of the two renditions. In addition to returning Disney songs to the pop charts after a thirty-year absence, the success of "Beauty and the Beast" also boosted Dion's career and established her as a bankable recording artist. After "Beauty and the Beast" became the first Disney song to undergo a complete pop transformation, several contemporary artists were inspired to release their own radio-friendly renditions of Disney songs throughout the decade. Considered to be among Disney's best and most popular songs, "Beauty and the Beast" has since been covered by numerous artists. In 2004, the American Film Institute ranked "Beauty and the Beast" at number 62 on their list of the greatest songs in American film history.
The song is also featured in the 2017 live-action adaptation; sung by Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts during the film and also as a duet cover version by Ariana Grande and John Legend during the end credits.[1][2][3] Grande and Legend's version of the song is an homage to the cover performed by Dion and Bryson for the 1991 film.[4][5] The song was also performed by Shania Twain in the 2022 television special Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration, and as a duet with H.E.R. and Josh Groban.[6][7]
Writing and recording
On October 6, 1990,
Some of Ashman's cut lyrics from the 1991 film were reinstated for the version in the 2017 film.[26]
Animation of the Beauty and the Beast and ballroom sequence
The scene in Beauty and the Beast during which the song is heard is the moment when Belle and the Beast's true feelings for each other are finally established.[27][28] Set in the ballroom of the Beast's castle, "Beauty and the Beast" is performed by the character Mrs. Potts, an enchanted teapot, midway through the film as she explains the feeling of love to her young teacup son Chip,[29] referring to the emotion as "a tale as old as time".[30] According to Armen Karaoghlanian of Interiors, "Belle familiarizes the Beast with the waltz and as soon he feels comfortable, he gracefully moves her across the floor".[27] Afterwards, the song continues to play instrumentally as Belle and the Beast retire to the balcony for a romantic candlelit dinner.[31] Believed to be the "centerpiece that brings Beauty and her Beast together,"[32] the sequence offers an insight into both characters' psyches. From the Beast's perspective, it is the moment he realizes that he wants to confess his true feelings for Belle to her[31] and "decides he wants to tell Belle he is in love with her".[33] Meanwhile, Belle begins to fall in love with her captor.[34] Writing for The Globe and Mail, Jennie Punter reviewed it as the scene in which "romance finally blossoms".[35] Film critic Ellison Estefan, writing for Estefan Films, believes that the sequence is responsible for "add[ing] another dimension to the characters as they continue to fall deeply in love with each other".[36] Explaining the song's role in the film, director Kirk Wise described the scene as "the culmination of their relationship,"[37] while producer Don Hahn pegged it as "the bonding moment of the film when the two main characters finally get together".[38]
The scene had long been envisioned as having a more live-action feel to it than the rest of the film, an idea that originated from story artists Brenda Chapman and Roger Allers, who were the first to suggest that the ballroom be built using computers.[40] As the film's executive producer, former Head of Disney's film division Jeffrey Katzenberg recalled that he began working on Beauty and the Beast deciding what its "wowie" moment would be, defining this as "the moment in the movie where you see what's on the screen and go, 'Wow-IEE'"; this ultimately became the film's ballroom sequence.[41] According to Hahn, the scene was conceived out of the filmmakers' desire to manipulate the camera in order to "sweep" the audience away.[42] Allers and Chapman conceived the ballroom in order to provide the characters with an area in which they could linger, and were surprised by the amount of artistic freedom with which they were provided by the animators, who agreed to adjust to the changes in perspective that would result from the moving camera.[42] While Allers decided to raise the camera in order to view the dancing couple from the overhead chandelier, Chapman decided to rotate the camera around Belle's skirt as the couple danced past it.[42]
In their dance together, Belle and the Beast move toward the camera, as we pan up and into the 3D chandelier. In the next shot, the camera slowly drops from the ceiling as we once again move alongside the 3D chandelier. This adds depth to the scene, as the chandelier is placed at the forefront of the image and Belle and the Beast are in the distance. This shot continues as we move down below and gracefully move around them. The Beast then sways Belle around and near the camera, once again providing us with an illusion that a camera is following these characters around in an actual ballroom. In a wide shot of Belle and the Beast dancing, the camera begins dollying back as Mrs. Potts and Chip appear in the frame. These beautiful compositions and camera movements show us how space functions within an animated feature film.
— Armen Karaoghlanian of Interiors
Regarded as an example of "a pronounced use of height and of vertical movement in sets and settings, in virtual camera movement ... and in the actions of characters" by Epics, Spectacles and Blockbusters: A Hollywood History author Sheldon Hall,[43] Beauty and the Beast was one of the first feature-length animated films to use computer-generated imagery,[44][45][46] which is prominently exhibited throughout the film's "elaborate" ballroom sequence.[47] Light Science: Physics and the Visual Arts author Thomas D. Rossing believes that the filmmakers aimed to achieve "a moving perspective that would follow the dancers around the room, giving visual expression to the soaring emotions of the scene".[48] CGI supervisor Jim Hillin was hired by Hahn to oversee the design of the scene's graphics.[49] However, because the computer-animation medium was so unfamiliar to the filmmakers at the time,[45] at one point they had considered having Belle and the Beast simply dance in complete darkness – save for a single spotlight – should the project be unsuccessful;[27] they jokingly referred to this idea as the "Ice Capades" version.[50]
First rendered as a simple
Writing for Combustible Celluloid, Jeffrey M. Anderson believes that "The animators understood that the new technology couldn't be used to represent organic beings, so they simply used it for backgrounds; i.e. the swirling, spinning ballroom during the 'Beauty and the Beast' dance number".
When Beauty and the Beast was released, many animators were impressed with the studio for "pushing the envelope", while some considered the scene to be "a miserable failure", accusing its new technology of distracting from "the moment".[70] Describing the scene as "an early experiment in computer animation," Josh Larsen of Larsen on Film observed that the ballroom sequence features "the camera swooping in and around to provide an expansive sense of space that 3-D still isn't able to capture".[71] In her book The Beautiful Ache, author Leigh McLeroy wrote that the scene represents "one of those strange moments where love creeps in against all odds and insists on staying put".[72] Audiences tend to remember the ballroom sequence as "the one in which Belle and the Beast share a romantic dance as the camera files and spins around them".[73] Angela Lansbury recalled being "astonished" when she first saw the "huge" and "unique" scene.[42] In Moviepilot's Chris Lucas' opinion, "The ballroom scene remains the one that truly symbolizes their adoration for each other".[74] IGN believes that the scene "signals the completion of [the Beast's] inner change - from irascible recluse into [Belle's] true love".[75]

Reception
Critical response
"Beauty and the Beast" received widespread acclaim from film and music critics alike.
By far the songwriters' biggest triumph is the title song, which becomes even more impressive in view of the not-very-promising assignment to create a 'Beauty and the Beast theme song. But the result is a glorious ballad, one that is performed in two versions, as both a top-40 style duet heard over the closing credits and a sweet, lilting solo sung by Ms. Lansbury during the film's most meltingly lovely scene. For the latter, which also shows off the film's dynamic use of computer-generated animation, the viewer would be well advised to bring a hanky.
The ballroom sequence during which Belle and the Beast dance to "Beauty and the Beast" continues to be praised, especially for its use of computer animation.[118][119] The first time the "Beauty and the Beast" musical sequence was made available to the public, it was in the form of an unfinished scene at the New York Film Festival in September 1991, to which Disney had been invited to premiere an incomplete version of Beauty and the Beast that largely consisted of uncolored pencil tests and storyboards.[120][121] The New York Times' Janet Maslin appreciated being previewed to the unfinished ballroom scene, writing, "when the radiant sight of Beauty and the Beast waltzing together, to the sound of the lilting theme song by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman stirs emotion even in this sketchy form, then both the power and the artifice of animation make themselves felt".[120] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly crowned the sequence the film's "centerpiece".[32] Writing for The Seattle Times, Candice Russel described it as an "irresistible highlight",[122] while The Globe and Mail's Jennie Punter called the scene "glorious".[35] David Parkinson of Radio Times identified the ballroom sequence as the scene in which the film's use of CGI is "seen to best advantage".[123] The Chicago Tribune's Dave Kehr praised both layout artist Lisa Keene and computer animator Jim Hillin's combined efforts on the scene, identifying it as the film's "most impressive setting".[28]
When Beauty and the Beast was re-released in
To viewers at the time, the computer effects in this climactic sequence[130] were astonishing.[131] The Beauty and the Beast ballroom sequence "thematized marriage in the dance" by illustrating a "nuptial rehearsal" which contrasts the "now" (3D animation) with "then" (2D animation) in a "successful marriage of character and set". The Studios After the Studios explains: "This chronological fusion was itself classicised by Mrs Potts' song: she turns a moment of industrial novelty into balance".[132]
Awards and recognition
"Beauty and the Beast" has won several awards. The song garnered the
The
IGN placed the scene at number 83 on its ranking of the 100 greatest moments in film history.[75] Total Film ranked the scene ninth on its list of the "50 Greatest Disney Movie Moments".[148] In Den of Geek's article "Top 12 most memorable dance scenes in films", the ballroom sequence was ranked fifth.[149] GamesRadar also included the scene on the website's "50 Greatest Movie Dance Sequences", with author Kim Sheehan lauding it as "more moving and romantic than most live-action dances".[150] Oh No They Didn't ranked the song 2nd in its The Top 25 Disney Songs of All Time article, writing of its "vintage feel...brimming with life and originality", the "surprising effectiveness" of Lansbury's performance, and the "captivating on-screen animation".[151] The song was listed 8th is Metro's article Ranked – the top 20 Disney songs ever, with writer Duncan Lindsay commenting "... this dance sequence with Angela Lansbury's gorgeous tones was one of Disney's most romantic. What a song".[152]

Much to Disney's surprise, Beauty and the Beast received three separate
Actress and singer Paige O'Hara, who voices Belle, was among the first artists to express interest in recording the pop version of "Beauty and the Beast", but Disney dismissed her for being "too Broadway".[160] Unable to afford to hire a "big singer" at the time, Disney selected rising Canadian recording artist Celine Dion.[17] Because she was relatively unknown to American audiences at the time, the studio doubted that Dion would have much of an impact in the United States on her own and subsequently hired the more well-known American singer Peabo Bryson to perform the song alongside her as a duet.[17] Disney contacted Dion's manager René Angélil about having the singer record "Beauty and the Beast" while she was on tour in England.[161] A fan of Dion's music, Menken personally wrote the singer a letter of approval.[162]
Hailing from the French-Canadian province of Quebec, Dion had just begun to learn English.

Dion and Bryson's recording session at The Power Station[166] was filmed and later interpolated with various scenes from the film in order to create a music video,[156] was directed by Dominic Orlando.[193] The video premiered on the music channel VH-1, thus airing to an audience who was not accustomed to seeing animated characters appear in the midst of their regular programming.[156] The music video was made available for the first time on October 8, 2002, on the two-disc Platinum Edition DVD of the 1991 Disney animated feature film of the same name. Some years later the music video was made available again on the Diamond Edition of the various edition of the 1991 Disney animated feature film of the same name available from November 23, 2010.

Impact and legacy
The overall success of Beauty and the Beast is partially attributed to the song's popularity.

In addition to establishing Bryson as a mainstream recording artist,
Both the song's film and single versions have been included on several compilation albums released by Disney, including The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song (1992),[337] Classic Disney: 60 Years of Musical Magic (1995), Disney's Superstar Hits (2004),[338] Ultimate Disney Princess (2006), The Best Disney Album in the World ...Ever! (2006), and Now That's What I Call Disney (2011). In 2005, actress and singer Julie Andrews, a Disney Legend, included Lansbury's rendition of "Beauty and the Beast" on her album Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs, although she does not cover the song herself;[339] the album is simply a compilation of Andrews' favourite Disney songs.[340]
Parodies
The pilot episode of the animated TV series The Critic featured a minute-long "musical lampoon"[341] of the Beauty and the Beast ballroom sequence and song entitled "Beauty and King Dork", written and composed by The Simpsons writer Jeff Martin.[342] In the context of the episode, the unappealing protagonist Jay Sherman falls in love with a beautiful actress named Valerie, and this song is performed as they dance in his apartment where they are serenaded by a sentient vacuum cleaner and toilet.[343] AnimatedViews deemed it "a spot-on rendition" due to its use of singing furniture and "lavish" CGI-animated backgrounds.[344] Hollywood.com listed it in its article The Best Parodies of Disney Songs from Cartoons, writing " It's a quick one, but the inclusion of singing dust busters, a Mork and Mindy reference, and Jay Sherman's attempts to cover up the embarrassing lyrics make for one of the best gags on the list".[345] It was TelevisionWithoutPity's "favorite musical number" from the series.[346] Slant Magazine saw it as a "gut-busting parody".[347] CantStopTheMovies said the "nice scene" was "a bit crass" due to the singing toilet, yet had mostly "pretty great" lyrics.[348]
In Disney's fantasy film
In a duet with Jimmy Fallon, American singer Ariana Grande impersonated Dion while performing "Beauty and the Beast" live on the comedian's late-night talk show in 2015.[352] M Magazine deemed it "amazing",[353] while 2DayFM said "the singing is so good it gave me goosebumps".[354] SugarScape deemed it "pretty hilarious and surprisingly pretty much spot on".[355] Billboard said the duo "put their own spin" on the song, and that she "nailed her Celine impression".[356] NineMSN called it a "pitch-perfect rendition",[357] while Access Hollywood said she belted out the song like a diva.[358]
The ballroom sequence was parodied in an episode of Family Guy.[359]
