By the Numbers: Beauty and the Beast
Some have called it “a tale as old as time,” but the animated movie Beauty and the Beast hit theaters just over 25 years ago. This classic tale about not judging a book by its cover—or a beast by its beastliness—introduced the world to a princess with a love of reading and a mind of her own. Next month, a live-action adaptation of the film, starring Emma Watson (who played the equally bookish Hermione in the Harry Potter films) as Belle, is waltzing into theaters.
Read on to learn more about the world-famous fairy tale and movie, then solve the problem for a final Beauty and the Beast fact.
