- GoofsWhen Belle ascends the spiral staircase it is initially a clockwise spiral, yet when she emerges at the top it is the reverse.
- Crazy creditsThe Walt Disney Pictures logo features the Prince's castle (with Villeneuve village in the background) in the evening before his masquerade party starts. A rosebush appears near the castle and the Enchantress picks a rose from it, leading into the opening.
- Alternate versionsThe film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video.

Featured review
Beautiful live action version
I found this version of Beauty and the Beast to be quite refreshing. Tailor-made for the whole family to see, Emma Watson in the female lead (Belle) is a pure delight to behold. Vibrant colors provided for a stunning visual. The film approaches all emotional levels. The singing and dance sequences were most enjoyable. I've seen this movie picked apart by folks who I just think didn't want to like the movie and therefore exercised their critical writing ability to tear it down. I say, "Thanks Disney Studios!"
