Belle was voiced beautifully by Paige O'Hara, who has a beautiful singing voice. The story is quite simply one of the best love stories ever, and the characters are wonderful. Another Disney with great incidental music is "The Lion King". The music in the transformation of the Beast was phenomenal, as well as the animation, and reminded me of the last movement of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, which is really frightening. The incidental music was the best in any Disney movie, and that is the same with the other Menken scores. My personal favourites, were the songs I just mentioned, and "Gaston" was great fun too. In fact, all the Alan Menken scores are brilliant, with the exception of Home On The Range, which is one of the weaker Disney efforts. Another movie with great songs is "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"(which has the best beginning to a Disney movie). The characters were very well drawn, and because of the dark and colourful backgrounds, the film looked beautiful. I was spellbound at the animated sequences to the songs "Be Our Guest" and "Beauty and the Beast" especially. This movie is without doubt the best animated movie of all time.
