Based on trailer views, the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast is poised to be one of the biggest films of 2017. And to get you ready for the film, Disney is re-releasing the animated classic on Blu-ray and Digital HD as a 25th Anniversary Edition. According to the press release, the Blu-ray and Digital HD will contain “four versions of the film plus all-new bonus features.” Here’s what’s listed on the official website:
- Original Theatrical Version
- "Human Again" Branched Version
- Theatrical Sing-Along Song Version
- Alan Menken & Friends: A Tribute

- The Recording Sessions
- 25 Fun Facts About Beauty and the Beast
- Plus with your Digital Copy:

That’s tempting to pick up, and I say that as someone who already owns the film on Blu-ray. If the film isn’t already in your collection, then you’ll definitely want to buy this version when it hits Digital HD on September 6th or on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack on September 20th.
