I've watched this animated film of 1992. It's of low quality compared to previous animated Beauty and the Beast films made by Disney and Childrens Fairytale Collection. There has been a number of Beauty and the Beast animations found under Golden Films and Animated Classics. This wasn't the best animated version of the story I've ever seen. The music was a little sickly and slow. The beginning was introducing us to Beauty and the Beast doing a waltz. There are few complaints though. One is that the sisters of Beauty are horrible and ugly, and it appeared like a Cinderella film. In the original fairytale, the sisters of Beauty were not ugly or wicked. They were just interested in clothes and jewels. Beauty's character is unrealistic. She shares the same genes as her ugly rude sisters but is ultra kind, charitable and prefers roses to pretty dresses. She happens to be the most beautiful and blonde, while her sisters are dark. She's got two brothers, who are kind. Father is supposed to be kind because he sounds like a bumbling old man but he cared more about his lost cargo than of the lives of men working on the ship. The introduction to a sinister fairy was a twist, and there was also the kind Clara spirit. I found that the clothes of the characters come from different eras, and it was hard to pinpoint exactly what century they're from. The artists of the film didn't know the history of clothes. Other than my digs, it was a nice colourful film. By the way there was no bad colour stain on the whole film as another IMDB user said in their review so it must've been that person's old VHS. They need to get a new one.
