In 1991 Disney produced an animated film of Beauty and the Beast with screenplay by Linda Woolverton, music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Howard Ashman. It won Academy Awards for Best Song and Best Original Score and was the first animated feature ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. This version gave Beauty a name (Belle). The Beast's name was never mentioned in the movie. Also, in this version, the servants have been transformed into personified objects. The story is changed much also in this version. Belle's father is given a name, Maurice, and Belle is his only daughter. A handsome and popular, but boorish, man named Gaston wants to marry Belle so she can be his wife. But she does not want to marry him due to his boorishness, and he and his friends threaten Maurice and the beast, but eventually Gaston is killed during a final confrontation with the beast. It is now considered one of the Walt Disney Company's classic animated films.

The King Kong films are based loosely on the folktale. In the original film, the character of Carl Denham, who sets out in search of the monster with actress Ann Darrow, believes the creature and Ann appearing in a film together will be reminiscent of the folktale; when the creature is brought to New York City and dies after capturing Ann in both the 1933 and 2005 versions, Denham famously remarks that "Beauty" killed "the Beast."

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.
