Disney re-released the classic film Beauty and the Beast on earlier this month as a three disc combo pack. Including a DVD version and a Blu-Ray version, this is a must buy for Disney lovers.

What’s great about this package is that it is full of extras. The downside is that you have to own a Blu-Ray player to watch them. The DVD version’s bonus features include a sing-a-long version and an audio commentary version.

The Blu-Ray version contains such bonus features as never-been-seen alternate opening and scene, the music video by Jordin Sparks, a look at how the film was created and much more.

Still, even without a Blu-Ray player, Disney’s re-release of Beauty and the Beast is one you can’t pass up—after all, it is “a tale as old as time.”

Jessica Machen is a writer and filmmaker currently living in Chicago.
