Beauty And The Beast Human Again Disney Plus
Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast was a huge success, grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide. But fans of the original animated movie were left wanting more. Enter "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and "Belle's Magical World," two straight-to-video sequels that were released in 1997 and 1998, respectively. While these sequels did give fans more time with the beloved characters, they never quite lived up to the original.
But now, Disney+ has released "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and "Belle's Magical World" along with a brand new special, "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Human Again." This special marks the first time that the original voice cast has reunited for a Beauty and the Beast project since the 1991 animated movie.
What is "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Human Again"?
"Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Human Again" is a new special that was released on Disney+ on December 11, 2020. The special features the original voice cast from the 1991 animated movie, including Paige O'Hara as Belle, Robby Benson as Beast, and Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts.
The special takes place during the events of "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and follows Lumiere as he tries to convince Beast to allow a Christmas celebration at the castle. Along the way, Lumiere reminisces about the time before the curse and sings a new song called "Human Again."
Why is "Human Again" such a big deal?
"Human Again" was originally written for the 1991 animated movie, but it was cut from the final version due to time constraints. The song was later added back into a re-release of the movie in 2002, but this is the first time that it has been fully animated and performed by the original voice cast.
The song is a lively number that features the enchanted objects in the castle dreaming of what it will be like when the curse is lifted and they are all human again. It's a fun and upbeat song that is sure to delight fans of the original movie.
What else is included in the Disney+ release?
In addition to "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Human Again," the Disney+ release includes "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and "Belle's Magical World." These two straight-to-video sequels have never been available on Disney+, so fans will be excited to have access to them again.
"Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" takes place during the winter after the events of the original movie. Belle is trying to teach Beast about Christmas, but he is too focused on the curse to enjoy the holiday. Meanwhile, Forte, a new character, is trying to convince Beast to stay away from Belle.
"Belle's Magical World" is a series of four short stories that take place in between the events of the original movie and "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas." The stories feature Belle and the enchanted objects in the castle going on adventures and learning important lessons.
Conclusion
"Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas - Human Again" is sure to delight fans of the original movie. With the original voice cast reunited and "Human Again" finally fully animated and performed, it's a must-watch for any Beauty and the Beast fan. And with "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and "Belle's Magical World" also included in the Disney+ release, fans will have even more time with their favorite characters.
