Twenty-five years ago, Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" broke ground as the first animated feature film to receive an Academy Award® nomination for best picture, and now this tale as old as time has joined the Walt Disney Signature Collection on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere, and on Sept. 20 on Blu-ray™ and DVD.

The beloved animated classic has truly stood the test of time and now a whole new generation of viewers are invited to be our guest and fall in love with this enchanting tale, its captivating characters and unforgettable, award-winning music score and original song, "Beauty and the Beast."

There is a host of all-new bonus extras including a rare opportunity to gather around the piano with some of Disney's greatest composers, including Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin"), Stephen Schwartz ("The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Pocahontas"), Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("Frozen," Disney's upcoming "Gigantic"), Robert Lopez ("Frozen," Disney's upcoming "Gigantic") and Lin-Manuel Miranda (Disney's upcoming "Moana") as they sing and share how they've personally been inspired by the film's award-winning music.

Below, BroadwayWorld is excited to bring you an exclusive clip from the discussion, as the composers chat about everything Gaston!
