Ashman�s musical partner, Alan Menken, is at the center of disc one�s �Composing a Classic: A Musical Conversation with Alan Menken�, wherein the Oscar winning composer relates the creation of each of the film�s iconic songs. That, of course, includes the Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy Award winning title track, which is also heard in a new music video featuring American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.

�Broadway Beginnings� offers a unique look at Beauty�s Broadway legacy with interviews with various celebrities who trod the boards in the long-running crowd pleaser, including Donny Osmond (who played, um, Gaston), Nick Jonas (who knew he was a Chip?) and a host of Belles, such as Deborah (formerly Debbie) Gibson, Jamie-Lynn (formerly Meadow) Sigler and Andrea (formerly Annie) McArdle. This will certainly prove inspiring to every kid out there with Glee-ful aspirations.

Two never-before-seen deleted scenes round out disc one�s bonuses. The first is a lengthy story reel of the original opening sequence of the film, way back when the movie wasn�t even a musical and had an entirely different plot. In this version, Belle had a younger sister and a snooty aunt, Gaston was a rich fop and Cogsworth was a grandfather clock. The second deleted scene finds Belle exploring the castle�s library, where she encounters four �lost� enchanted objects.

In addition to two new games (the music-themed �Enchanted Musical Challenge� and the BD Live only �Bonjour, Who is This?�), disc two also includes a selection of �Classic DVD Bonus Features�, a.k.a. carry-overs from the Beauty Platinum Edition DVD. These offer an interesting chance to compare them to the current Blu-ray features, which certainly out shine them in technical pizzazz.
