Beauty and the Beast made history as the first animated feature film to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. The title song also won plenty of awards on its initial release, including the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
A live action remake is being made starring Emma Watson as heroine Belle and Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as the Beast.
