Watch The Trailer For Disney’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 3D In Theaters January 13

Due to the phenomenal success of The Lion King 3D, the Walt Disney Studios announced in October the limited theatrical engagements for four of its classic films for the first time in 3D. Check out the trailer for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ magical classic BEAUTY AND THE BEAST as returns to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D, introducing a whole new generation to the Disney classic with stunning new 3D imagery on January 13th.

Originally released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast is a classic “tale as old as time” that follows the adventures of Belle, a bright young woman imprisoned in the castle of a mysterious beast and his enchanted staff, who must learn the most important lesson of all – that true beauty comes from within. Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film ever nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Picture, earning an additional five Oscar® nominations and winning two. It has grossed $380.4 million worldwide.

“Great stories and great characters are timeless, and at Disney we’re fortunate to have a treasure trove of both,” said Alan Bergman, President, The Walt Disney Studios. “We’re thrilled to give audiences of all ages the chance to experience these beloved tales in an exciting new way with 3D – and in the case of younger generations, for the first time on the big screen.”
