Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) [SEP] Early versions
After the success of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in 1937, Walt Disney sought out other stories to adapt into feature films, with "Beauty and the Beast" being among the stories he considered. Attempts to develop the "Beauty and the Beast" story into a film were made in the 1930s and 1950s, but were ultimately given up because it "proved to be a challenge" for the story team. Peter M. Nichols states Disney may later have been discouraged by Jean Cocteau having already done his 1946 version. Decades later, during the production of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" in 1987, the Disney studio resurrected "Beauty and the Beast" as a project for the satellite animation studio it had set up in London, England to work on "Roger Rabbit".
