SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:45 Min.
Recorded by Angela Lansbury, this track first appeared on Disney’s 1991 Beauty and the Beast animated film soundtrack. The tune went to score several honors, including an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 64th Academy Awards in 1992. Subsequently, it would appear on 1995’s Classic Disney, Volume 1 compilation album.
Note: Serving as Chip’s bedtime song, Lansbury ends the tune with a brief dialogue clip.
REVIEW:
Predictably, Angela Lansbury’s low-key rendition has long been overshadowed by Celine Dion-Peabo Bryson’s radio-friendly duet version. It’s a shame, as Lansbury’s twinkling rendition really is indeed a musical gem. Sung in character as ‘Mrs. Potts,’ this poignant lullaby possesses its own brand of fairy tale magic well worth re-discovery.
