The original Beauty and the Beast was also followed by three direct-to-video follow-ups, and Belle, reprised by Paige O’Hara, recently appeared alongside the other Disney Princesses in Ralph Breaks The Internet.
Of course, the original Beauty and the Beast wasn’t a box office slouch either, and it ultimately earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, the first animated movie to do so.
As mentioned earlier, Beauty and the Beast did well for itself on the reviews front, but box office-wise, it was a smash hit.
Hauling in over $1.2 billion worldwide, Beauty and the Beast was the second-highest grossing movie of 2017, trailing only behind another Disney release, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which took in $1.3 billion.
