Beauty and the Beast

by Disney

A bookish outcast and a cursed prince learn that love isn't about beauty or power — it's about seeing someone clearly and choosing them anyway. Disney's 1991 masterpiece, the first animated film nominated for Best Picture, is a fairy tale about the courage it takes to look past surfaces — in others and in yourself.
