Disney has extended invitations to my family to their special events over the years.

Last Saturday, they invited us to a special VIP screening of Beauty and the Beast 3D.

When I was younger I didn’t see Beauty and the Beast.

I knew what the story was about but never actually sat down and watched the movie.

Not at the movie theater. And not when it was broadcast on television.

So I went to the theater at the Director’s Guild and put on the 3D glasses and watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time with my family.

It’s Rated G but there were times I was concerned my four year old may have been frightened. Thankfully, he wasn’t.

Afterward the kidlets went downstairs and had cupcakes and created castles.

There was also the opportunity for them to have their faces painted but since we had lunch plans after I steered them away from that line.

Here’s a clip from Beauty and the Beast 3D which is in theaters this Friday, January 13, 2012. And as a special treat, everyone who sees the movie will see a short film of Tangled Ever After.
