I had a real obsession with Beauty and the Beast (still do actually

). Unfortunately, I never saw it when it first came to theatres. I was 12 at the time and I thought I was too "cool" for animation (I know - I was dumb). I first saw it when my sister borrowed the VHS from one of her friends. After that I was hooked. I begged my parents for my own copy, and when I finally got it, I watched in countless times. So much that my tape was literally wearing thin and the picture was losing color!
I saw the Broadway show 4 times when it came here to Toronto in the late 90's, finally got to see it on the big screen when it was re-released on IMAX in 2002, and almost wet my pants with excitement when I heard that it would be Disney's 2nd Platinum Edition DVD release, also in 2002.
As an adult, I still make sure I watch it at least 4 times every year.
