Be Our Guest for a 35th anniversary screening of this timeless tale!

An arrogant young prince and his castle’s servants fall under the spell of a wicked enchantress, who turns him into the hideous Beast until he learns to love and be loved in return. The spirited, headstrong village girl Belle enters the Beast’s castle after he imprisons her father Maurice. With the help of his enchanted servants, Belle begins to draw the cold-hearted Beast out of his isolation. This beloved modern classic was the first animated feature film in the history of the Oscars to be nominated for Best Picture (1991). The music you’ll never forget, the characters who will fill your heart, and the magical adventure about finding beauty within all come to spectacular life.
