Beauty and the Beast Deluxe - Disney 100th - Art Scale 1/10 - Iron Studios

With a curtain of stars decorating the big stained-glass in the background, and big branches of roses sprouting from marble columns that climb in tendrils, a bestial creature with brown fur, horns, claws, and a tail, wearing formal noble attire, gently conducts a romantic dance with a beautiful young woman with long brown hair. Over a set base that reminds the ballroom of his palace, with the stairs and red carpet in the front, where the peculiar couple is observed by Lumiere, the castle’s charismatic but rebellious footman transformed into a candelabra, followed by the butler Cogsworth transformed into a clock, and the housekeeper Mrs. Potts, and her son Chip, transformed into a teapot and a teacup respectively, with the entire base decorated. Adding to the line that celebrates Disney’s centenary, Iron Studios presents the statue "Beauty and the Beast Deluxe – Disney 100th – Disney Classics – Art Scale 1/10", inspired by Disney’s 30th animated film of theater musical, based on the fairy tale La Belle et la Bête by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.

Additional Versions

Iron Studios will also release the statue in a regular version "Beauty and the Beast – Disney 100th – Disney Classics – Art Scale 1/10", with Belle and her pair dancing over a base that reminds the ballroom floor of Beast’s castle. Additionally, the limited statue "Beauty and the Beast 100 Years – Disney 100th – Disney Classics – Art Scale 1/10", features the couple in love dancing on a similar base of the palace’s floor, followed by another extremely decorated silver base with a celebratory front plaque of Disney’s 100th anniversary. This special item is available in a limited edition of only 100 units, making it a unique collectible for fans and collectors to celebrate the centenary.

Story Background

In 18th-century France, a young and rich but cruel and selfish prince humiliates an old beggar on a cold winter night when she offers him a rose in exchange for shelter. The old lady, revealed to be an enchantress of great beauty, curses him for his lack of love, transforming him into a horrendous beast and his servants into anthropomorphic household objects. The spell could only be broken if the prince learned how to love someone and was loved back before the last petal of the magic rose fell. After 10 years, Belle, a young book lover and daughter of an eccentric inventor named Maurice, voluntarily becomes a prisoner of the Beast in place of her father. Over time, she and the Beast fall in love, giving him a chance to break the spell and return to his human form with his servants.

Movie Legacy

Released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast was universally praised by critics and the public alike. The film was nominated for many awards, winning a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (a first for an animated feature film). It was the first animated film to be nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award and remained the only animated movie with more than six nominations until 2009. It also won two Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
