Beauty and the Beast Released to IMAX!
01-01-2002 (by digitalmediafx.com)
Disney's Beauty and the Beast was released to over 100 IMAX and other big screen theaters worldwide today and is virtually guaranteed to break all IMAX box office records. The classic animated movie, which garnished an Academy Award "Best Picture" nomination, includes a new six minute segment featuring the song "Human Again". The official title of the IMAX rerelease is Beauty and the Beast: Large Format Cinema Special Edition.
"This is the only animated film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, and you'll see why - it's a masterpiece that blows away not only Shrek but every non-animated movie released in all of 2001 and 2000," says Lou Lumenick of the New York Post. "...The added number 'Human Again' is basically a marketing gimmick - you can see why it was cut, because it doesn't particularly advance the story - but adding it doesn't hurt the picture one iota."
