Title Best
Beauty and the Beast (Belle et la Bête, La) (Directors Suite)R1

    Beauty and The Beast has been released in Region 2 and in Region 1 through the Criterion collection. Sad to say that both versions are more fully featured than the Region 4 version.

The Region 2 United Kingdom version has an audio commentary by writer and cultural historian, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, and contains a documentary of approximately 27 minutes length called "Screening at The Majestic" from 1995. It also contains some stills, film posters and engravings.

As might be expected, the Criterion Collection is exhaustingly featured. As well as the Frayling commentary, there is a critic commentary by Arthur Knight. In the 90's Phillip Glass, the noted minimalist composer wrote an opera which can be played as an alternate sound track to the film. This has been included on this set. There is also the Majestic documentary and an interview with cinematographer Alekan of approximately 10 minutes length. There is an excerpt from a French TV show featuring the makeup artist who worked on the Beast's makeup, the original 1945 theatrical trailer and some other materials relating to the restoration. Finally, there is a 32 page booklet included.
