Almost Be the First Animation to Win Oscar

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2001)

If only "The Silence of the Lambs" was not on the way, this movie could be the first animation to win Oscar as best picture. The characters are so alive, the music and songs are very entertaining, and the storyline is great.
The most memorable character is actually Lumiere. But other characters are also very well-developed.
Robby Benson is great as the Beast. He gets into character perfectly and is able to give the audience the right feeling at the right moment.
In terms of entertainment, it still looses out to both "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid". In terms of movie as a whole, maybe it's better. However, I still prefer the other two movies.
