• The stained glass window opening prologue is absolutely stunning
  • Many simulated tracking shots in an out of scenes is definitely worthy of praise
  • It’s before the advent of metacritic but still- the retroactive 95 score is really solid
  • 30th Disney animated film
  • Love the Maurice Chevalier-like voice work for the Lumiere character
  • Filled with charming songs but some of the highlights are the Busby Berkeley-like animation work in “Be Our Guest” and the Angela Lansbury sung title song with a stunning simulated crane shot
  • The film is traditional and flawless
  • First Animated film nominated for best picture
  • Bordering on the top 10 of the year level quality
  • Have a soft spot for this one forever now since it was basically the first full movie my Troy watched with me
  • Recommend / Highly Recommend border
