A straight-to-video parallel storyline to the Disney smash hit 'Beauty and the Beast'. Returning to the time when Belle was imprisoned in the Beast's castle, the film tells of the young woman's attempts to bring some Christmas cheer to her surroundings, even though the Beast doesn't like the festive season. To this end, Belle invites all the enchanted objects from the castle to help, encouraging them to sing and dance so that the spirit of Yuletide might thaw the Beast's heart.

Disney animated version of the classic fairy tale. When a prince is turned into a hideous beast by a magical spell, he finds that the only way out of his predicament is to win the love of the beautiful Belle. Belle agrees to come and stay at his home in exchange for the freedom of her father, whom the Beast had previously captured. At first she is repulsed by his hideous features, but as time passes she learns to recognise his true inner beauty.

Children's animated sequel set prior to the ending of the original film, 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991). Divided into four chapters, the feature follows Belle (voice of Paige O'Hara), Beast (Robby Benson), Lumiere (Jerry Orbach), Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers) and the castle's other enchanted beings as they all try to get along with each other. The chapters are: 'The Perfect Word', 'Fifi's Folly', 'Mrs. Potts' Party' and 'The Broken Wing'. The feature also includes two original songs, 'Listen With Our Hearts' and 'A Little Thought'.

Liza Minnelli, Burt Reynolds and Gene Hackman star in this comedy drama set in Prohibition-era America. Young widow Claire (Minnelli) joins rum-runners Walker (Reynolds) and Kibby (Hackman) on their boat, the Lucky Lady, off the coast of San Diego to help with their liquor smuggling operation. But the trio's romantic peace is disturbed by an angry Coast Guard captain and the mafia, who send out hitman McTeague (John Hillerman) to deal with the small-timers who are infringing on their business operations.

A riveting medical memoir actor/writer/director Robby Benson takes us on a candid journey from athletic soft-spoken heartthrob on Broadway and film, to husband, father, professor and courageous survivor of 4 open-heart surgeries. From One on One, Ice Castles, The Chosen, and Disney's Beauty and the Beast to directing Ellen and Friends, the funny and explicit narrative is a must for fans and essential reading for heart patients, patients of all kinds, their loved ones, and anyone searching for what should be the template for healthcare in America. New York Times #1 bestselling author, Michael F. Roizen, M.D. praised I'm Not Dead... Yet : "When you read this funny and courageously blunt book, you'll understand how to gain the vibrancy that Robby and his wife, Karla, have. ...What a great read and what an important story for all patients and their families dealing with a challenging illness."

A Hollywood insider draws from his four decades of experience to create a scathingly brilliant and caustically comedic bird's-eye view behind the scenes of comedy television.

A wickedly delicious roman-a-clef about the making of a sitcom called My Urban Buddies, this satirical romp of a novel portrays life on the other side of the television lens, hilariously sending up self-serious Hollywood stereotypes across the board.

Programmed-for-success director J. T. Baker has to bring an up-and-coming sitcom to fruition after its initial director shoots himself in the head with a nail gun. Comically annotated with helpful and enlightening Hollywood glossary terms ("Creative-type director: One who has no hope of working in this town again"; "Eccentric: Affecting a style of dress, coiffure, speech, mannerisms, etc., carefully calculated to give the impression of creative credibility"), Benson creates an exaggerated world of crazy writers; backstabbing executives, agents, and producers; foul-mouthed everyone-elses; and hardcore cynics--and the ridiculous inner monologues behind them.
