It's been twenty years since Disney's Beauty and the Beast was released.

| The torn portrait. |
I still remember going to see Beauty and the Beast with my best friend. I remember the wondrous feeling of adventure and sadness during the prologue, the feeling that this could be something special.
And I remember cracking up during the "Gaston" song. Howard Ashman lyrics can be so astonishing; I grieve that we lost him so soon.
