Theme Song Lyrics
The Iconic Ballroom Dance
Behind the Magic: Easy Breakdown
The song Beauty and the Beast is the heart of the famous Disney movie released in the early 90s. It describes a story that feels like it has existed forever, which is why the lyrics say it is a “tale as old as time.” The movie was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise and tells the story of Belle and a Prince who was turned into a Beast.
The lyrics explain how two people who were “barely even friends” can suddenly change their minds about each other. It shows that even though they were both scared and not ready for love, they found a way to connect. The song compares their love to the sun rising in the east, meaning it is something sure and natural that you can always count on.
With a running time of about an hour and a half, the film became a classic because of how it blended this beautiful music with a story about looking past what people see on the outside to find the goodness inside. It reminds us that people can change for the better when they learn they were wrong about someone else.
