Beauty and the Beast (1991)

Cast: Paige O'Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Angela Lansbury
For complete info, see IMDb's Beauty and the Beast page.

There's definitely a reason this is the first Disney film nominated for the best picture Oscar. I've enjoyed many versions of this story and think that Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast is enchanting. The music (by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman) is wonderful! I love that Disney has a strong female character in this movie, too! Belle is head-strong, intelligent, and is not dancing around looking for a prince (or any man, for that matter) to sweep her off her feet. She goes on a dangerous journey to rescue her father and manages to find love accidentally. It's sweet and a great story about paying attention to what's inside, not the outside appearances.

Great message, wonderful cast, very well done story and animation... a delight!
