Tale as Old as Time: The Making of 'Beauty and the Beast' (2002 Video)

Quotes

Alan Menken : I remember Angela didn't want to record Beauty and The Beast.

Angela Lansbury : It was a ballad. A very slow ballad and I was afraid of it I said, "I don't think your right in asking me to sing this song I think someone else should sing it." and they said, "no we want you to sing it."

Alan Menken : What a day in the studio that was. Just not to be believed. And Angela... one take, Beauty and the Beast, one take. Incredible.
Alan Menken : Beauty and The Beast is the telling of that story and also of a very personal story of Howard Ashman's courage and uh his passing.
