Welcome back, Belle of the ball

It's a "tale as old as time," but it's been 25 years since Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" first waltzed into the hearts of moviegoers and went on to become the first animated film nominated for a best-picture Oscar. Tuesday's release of a silver-anniversary Blu-ray (Disney, $40) presents three iterations of the film — original, special edition and a new singalong version — with fresh bonus features. A fourth, work-in-progress edition of the film is available via digital download.
