Beauty and The Beast Music/Soundtrack Review

OH.MY.GAWD.MY.HEART.CANNOT.DEAL.WITH.THESE.FEELS!!!!!

Oh Disney, I love you so much….


Beauty and The Beast (1991) is honestly one of my most favourite Disney movies ever (coming in second place to The Little Mermaid) and it can be purely because of the soundtrack which causes me to love this movie so much.



 Although the story line is kinda weird (like a girl falls for a legitimate beast but then again he turns human in the end so I don’t know…. Anyways!) the songs and instrumentals and sound effects are magical – just like you’d expect from a Disney movie!


The soundtrack has a sort of simplicity to it that even though so much hard work went into producing such a soundtrack, the audience doesn’t get swept up into the over baring music and is able to focus on the film and its plot.

In saying that, the vocals and orchestral performances within the film are amazing and really allow the audience to be transferred into a magical, Disney world and really feel like they are living the story along with Belle and The Beast.

I have to admit that every time the track ‘Beauty and The Beast’ plays, I feel tears form in my eyes because it just reminds me of the movie and being a little girl and wanting a fairy-tale story/ending like Belle’s (what I'm assuming is Disney’s goal when creating such movies).



Even though the music portrays the fairy-tale happy ending, it also perfectly works alongside the visuals and emotional themes within the movie.

For example, the opening song of the film ‘Prologue’ flawlessly accompanies the story that is told to set up the film. When the tale turned bad, the faint piano, flute and violin melody grows more forceful and ferocious as it depicts the Prince’s turmoil as well as the use of sound effects to make the scene more lifelike.


This movie is seriously amazing and Disney will always have a special place in my heart…


Now, now amazing readers- it has come to the time where I say goodbye (omg that rhymed) so I would just like to say thank you for reading my annoying opinions on the movies that we have looked at over the last 5 weeks!

This has been really fun and I hope you guys have enjoyed the blog too :)

Ta ta for now,
