Sneak Peek: “Beauty and the Beast” 3D
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ magical tale “Beauty and the Beast” returns to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D™, introducing a whole new generation to the Disney classic with stunning 3D.
The film captures the fantastic journey of Belle (voice of Paige O’Hara), a bright and beautiful young woman who’s taken prisoner by a hideous beast (voice of Robby Benson) in his castle. Despite her precarious situation, Belle befriends the castle’s enchanted staff—a teapot, a candelabra and a mantel clock, among others—and ultimately learns to see beneath the Beast’s exterior to discover the heart and soul of a prince.
Featuring unforgettable music by Academy Award® winners Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and an enormously talented vocal ensemble, “Beauty and the Beast” was the first animated feature to receive a Best Picture nomination from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
One of the most popular and enduring romantic adventures the world has ever known became one of the most ambitious and entertaining animated motion pictures ever brought to the screen when ”Beauty and the Beast” premiered in 1991. This classic fairy tale has long fascinated and intrigued storytellers, filmmakers and their audiences. Through the artistry and imagination of the Disney creative team, an inspired song score and the contributions of an enormously talented vocal ensemble, this age-old fantasy took on exciting new dimensions that are only possible through the magic of animation.

The world’s renowned Canada-based circus, the Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun), has invaded the Philippines for another heart stopping and death defying dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment show dubbed as “Varekai”. In Romany language of the gypsies (the universal wanderers), Varekai means “wherever”. Circque du Soleil will be shown in a giant blue and yellow 66 feet and 167 feet in diameter, high tent called Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) starting June 22, 2011 until July 24, 2011.
