Before It Was a Tale as Old as Time
Screening of the storied Beauty & The Beast Work-in-Progress Film, with Disney Legends Paige O'Hara, Don Hahn, and Mark Henn in The Main Theater on the Lot
On the night of September 29, 1991, the lights went down at Lincoln Center, and a New York Film Festival audience saw something no audience had seen before. They watched a work-in-progress screening of Disney Animation's Beauty and the Beast. Only 70% of the film was in color; the rest was a mosaic of rough pencil animation, storyboard sketches, and visual development paintings standing in for scenes still being completed back in Burbank.
