The Little Mermaid (1989). Its critical success far outshone such non-classic-era offerings as The Fox & the Hound (1981) and The Black Cauldron (1985). In fact, it won no less than two Academy Awards, and was nominated for another four, inclueing "Best Picture" — making it the only animated movie ever nominated in that category.

Belle's voice was provided by Paige O'Hara, who has done few other voice roles, but did play one of Giselle's associates in Disney's 2007 live action/animated feature Enchanted. The Beast was Robby Benson (Prince Valiant in a 1990 animated production). Maurice and Gaston were Rex Everhart (another with few other voice roles, but who did have a role in the 1980 made-for-TV Gnomes) and Richard White (who isn't known for any other voice roles), respectively. The various enchanted servants turned household items included Jerry Orbach (Galaxy Rangers), Angela Lansbury (Mommy Fortuna in The Last Unicorn) and David Ogden Stiers (Solovar the Gorilla in Justice League).

The day was long past when Disney features were routinely adapted into Dell or Gold Key comic books, but Disney was doing its own comics publishing at the time, and did it as a four-issue series. But it had a much more prestigious media spin-off than that. It was the first Disney feature adapted into a Broadway play. In that venue, it premiered April 18, 1994, at Broadway's Palace Theatre. It wasn't as well-received critically as the film had been, but it was a commercial success. A later Disney feature, The Lion King, was done on Broadway in 1997.

And the characters have been ths usual merchandising bonanza for Disney, including Belle as one of the company's Princesses. The characters have become part of the cast, seen regularly on The Disney Channel and in books, videos and every other way Disney characters are
