"Tale as old as time". It might be hard to believe, but it's been 30 years since the Beauty and the Beast animated film came out. The Disney film became an instant classic ever since its premiere in 1991, earning an Academy Award for Best Original Song and Best Score, while also landing a nomination for Best Picture. To celebrate its anniversary, fans are invited to partake in the festivities by sitting on the couch and watching Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration. This special will be a hybrid between live action and animation, and it will include exclusive musical performances, breathtaking sets, new costumes, and a starlit cast portraying the beloved characters. Some of the well-known names include H.E.R., Josh Groban, Martin Short, and Shania Twain. The director behind this commemoration is Jon M. Chu, who has recently directed In the Heights and Crazy Rich Asians.
