Then we offered it to Richard Williams, he was going to go out and make The Thief and the Cobbler which was his lifetime movie. And then Richard said: "One of my protégés, Richard Purdham, would be great for this". And so we approached Richard Purdham, a Canadian animator who was living in London and had his own commercial studio. And we actually set up shop in London to work with Richard Purdham on it. I brought over Glen Keane, Tom Sito, Thom Enriquez, Jean Gilmore... We had a great cast in London. We did 20 minutes of the film in London and took it over to Walt Disney World actually to show during the opening weekend of The Little Mermaid and show it to Jeffrey, Roy, and Michael. And the lights came up afterwards and Jeffrey said: "Well, it's time to fish or cut bait", meaning 'This is awful, we can't go on with this'. So, we continued working and by that time also Aladdin was in huge story problems which meant Ashman and Menken were available. And so we cornered Howard at a beach party in Malibu at Jeffrey's house and said: "Howard, you're not doing anything on Aladdin. Would you be willing to come over and do Beauty and the Beast?" and he said yes.

However, the colors were the 4K's and not the Blu-ray's. I sort of think the Blu-ray has messed up encoding or something that makes it look terrible. Since I'm fine with the 4K's colors I didn't suffer.

It was a sing along screening for adults and it's nice to see the film is still beloved by people to this day, and people sang evey song, but only a few sang Human Again, which makes me wonder how many people are familiar with the special edition nowadays compared to 15-20 years ago.

The theater I went to is a Cinematheque and they did a Disney night. The films they decided to screen were Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Hercules and Mulan. I only went to Beauty and the Beast (all the others except Mulan were screened at the same time), but what is interesting is seeing that they chose to screen Hercules instead of Aladdin or The Lion King, and it's interesting to see how the movie gained new appreciation and popularity since the '90s.
