Beauty and the Beast - INTRO

[fromamy39209]

OMG this is the prettiest music I have ever HEARD!!!

[JosephineClayton]

and the original was made in1886 by Camille Saint-Saens

[JosephineClayton]

" Le Carnaval des Animaux - Aquarium "

I have looked for that melody for so long. I think the two if them sounds very similar.

[tamarak91]

What is this song? It's beautiful!

[PorgiiePie0x]

Most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard in my life. And always will be.

[Devsguy]

Wait a minute isn't that the grove where Snow White takes place?

[JulietHasAGun89]

My favorite disney movie apart from Pocahantas, The Lion Kings, and The Little Mermaid and....aww heck! They're all my favorites! I'm so glad to be a 90's baby. Old disney was the best!!!

[dzivdzani13]

this song has been in my head ever since i first saw this movie. Every time i want to hum something, this song is the first thing that comes to mind!

[GuyFawkes501]

I love the key this is in. It gives me chills.

[AxelIsNumber8]

I feel so upset that Disney ripped off another song.

the carnival of the animals: the aquarium.

Look it up they sound a lot alike!

[itsthequietones]

@AxelIsNumber8 They sound similar (though really only at first) but so do many other pieces I could name. Heck, parts of it sound like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy! Humans end to conceive of music representing underwater/fantasy type scenes in a similar fashion. Don't be upset! Classical music has a long tradition of riffing on themes.

[itsthequietones]

@itsthequietones that would be "tend", not "end" XD

[WhatADreeam]

@AxelIsNumber8 I knew Ive heard this before. I actually heard that song elsewhere and wanted to know the title so I looked here. Thanks :D

[screenjunky]

When is this going to be released on DVD or BLU-RAY???

[MeggieMiami]

@screenjunky there's already a DVD version available. check out on amazon ;)

[MrPuddingBEAR]

im trying to find sheet music for it on the flute help!!

[funHelsing90]

It's epic! Can't find another word. In my opinion this is the most magical disney movie of all times. The picutres, the music.... it's a shame they don't make movies like that anymore :-(

[taabuu2342]

@funHelsing90 Its because kids today only care about things like Bolt the super hero dog with a mega bark...*hooray*...not.

[funHelsing90]

@taabuu2342 Yeah, right^^ Can't we write a nice little e-mail to the Walt Disney Studios that they should use the money they got for movies like the old one's? ;-)

[taabuu2342]

@funHelsing90 What sorry could you rephrase that

[BetaKaax]

Does anyone know the name of the rap song that samples this intro?

[SebastianAxlRose]

Sounds just like Aquarium! Love it.

[Lensflare777]

what is the name of the song?

[itsmysourcherry]

is there a longer song of this

[emmalouisemiller]

this music sounds so much like Aquarium from the carnival of the animals. although i think i prefer this version!!

[DrunkyMcLushLives]

@emmalouisemiller You have a good ear! Alan Menken, who composed this music, said that this music was inspired by Aquarium!

[cgraham45]

I think that every time!!

To the point i keep thinking that, that piece was used in something similar...

[krajsnick]

Since I was a child I have loved this movie, it's very beautiful and at the same mystic. The music too is too good.

[maple841]

Ugh I just want to jump into the screen at :15. It looks so much better than here at work.

[JuliDaCaesar]

Beautiful and so powerful!

[chibixaileen]

wow i LOVE the intro/prolouge!

[wirelessaxis]

isn't it possible that Disney just used it cause they liked it?

[ritrgold]

what a rip off of Aquarium!!

Walt Disney you sly bastard... :)

[kirderfredrik]

I don't think it count's as a rip of if the composer's been dead for almost 90 years and they openly acknowledge that Camille Saint Saëns composed it.... nonetheless beautifully used in the movie.

[Kalibasa]

Haha I just listened to Saint-Saens' Aquarium two minutes ago, that's why I just watched this again...

Does anyone know where to find this piece? I looked it up on the B&B soundtrack ages ago and it wasn't there. Why do soundtracks always leave out the best music?

[FishyBirdMLS]

I have ALWAYS thought that this sounded like "Aquarium!"

And you can find multiple versions and recordings of the song on iTunes and YouTube.

:)

[MadskillsMarvin]

it sounds very much like Saint-Saëns "Carnival Of The Animals: Aquarium", look it up on youtube and you will understand what i mean.. =)

[deestruve]

Disney has really got to re-release this movie I'd really like to buy it on dvd. Haven't seen it in ages

[dalkaroll]

i remember being terrified of this movie as a kid, it's the one disney movie i use to hate

[Kleavers]

I have that same thing. Scary intro...scary movie. Great stuff though. I wish Disney made movies this dark nowadays.

[whatsherface612]

i love this music too! i'm so glad you put it up

[hopscotchblender]

ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen this movie in years and now I want to watch it.

[Pappszi]

<3<3<3

[krimsonseraphin]

I love that melody even if it does have a sad quality to it. Thanks for putting it up!

[Robinccc300]

strange/sad/mystic/scary music but so good!

[Regetmund]

David Ogden Stiers is the narrator. He is an amazing voice actor and just perfect for the role.

[scarydoll5]

I love the song in the beginning, does anybody know if I can find that song anywhere?

[aeropostalesigns247]

i want to know the name of that song soo bad

[FishyBirdMLS]

On the album, this track is under "prologue" but the theme is repeated in the movie, like in "The West Wing"

The melody is also used for the BatB on Broadway song "If I Can't Love Her"

[sin2040]

I love this.

I used to play with my friends and I had this imaginary phone with this as a ringtone.

Hahahaha.

[liza831223]

älskar denna med :)

[matrixlone]

i like the way it starts with the fading in and the music it reminds me of final fantasy 8 for some reason

[bahia1222]

OMG this music..its simple amazing...

[skakaochbaka]

It still creeps me out in a strange way =S

[sash987]

looks like heaven

[Dannysheaven]

This is my favorite (and scariest) childhood memory. Amazingly haunting and beautiful.

[Erkenbrecht]

The beginning used to creep me out SO bad when I was young

lol

[jwillborg]

Yeah same here, but in a good way sort of, great music, very mysterious.

[lasigi]

the beginning is sooo beautiful... but i love the whole movie anyway

[BohemianAsh]

Beautiful and haunting...

[jaekabes]

[aimray12]

Me too!! X_X

[Prismatical89]

the opening picture is so strong..and the music makes it even stronger =D...immortal!

[tors396]

Agree. I still can´t believe that people did this by hand. Wish I could paint like that. And the music, it´s full of magic

[lionking1991]

Love this beginning bit one of the best disney films ever!!!

[loubo2]

[kuzzilse]

This is so beautiful! Really!

Almost the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[SliverFawn2]

I love the beginning of this so much

[UndercoverCracker]

That very well could of been the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[thecrow28dante]

@UndercoverCracker ai'n't that right hah!? gives me chillingss

[beachbum5311]

if you want the legit version of the intro song its called prologue from the beauty and the beast soundtrack. the aquarium song is slightly different, whereas the prologye is right from the movie and includes the only man talking

[beachbum5311]

this songs makes me want to cry everytime i hear it. its beautiful!! thanks for telling me the name i never knew what it was and could never find it!

[LadyxAlissa]

I know the name! xD

Saint Saens - Aquarium

or something like that..

[roxyprincess144]

the most beautiful disney score EVER... I love it so much. This sounds like the music I'm composing for Pinchley Gloomdon, a book I've written and hope to turn into a film in the near future! Fingers crossed

[JanneH2006]

I want sheet music for this song. Can anybody help me? :)

[aeropostalesigns247]

i would if i only knew the name of the song

[MoR271L]

I think it's a variation on the piece Aquarium from The Carnival of the Animals- someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[jinsparrow]

ahh i'm so happy to see so many people loving this music and gorgeous intro just like i do!! but no one seems to know the name of the music =/

[KaliRapidista]

what's the name of the song?

amazing movie...

[MelissaMao]

Oh, I remember that I thought the intro music was pretty scary when I was small! x'D

[CrowRoses]

Quite possibly my favorite thirty seconds of any movie EVER. I've just loved the beginning since I was little; there's something about the scenery and the music that's PERFECT.

[defyinggravity319]

I love this song so much! it always comes into my head whenever I think of Beauty and the Beast!
