Design Detail: Tokyo Disneyland's Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast

With rare exceptions, Tokyo Disney Resort's two theme park provide some of the most detailed theming to be found in Disney's parks. With the original Beauty and the Beast film being so loved, it was not surprising that the Imagineers would be hired by the Oriental Land Company to create the ultimate attraction for the property. In contrast to the poorly executed forced perspective mini-castle in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland received a full blown Beast's castle when it cam estimes to expand their Fantasyland. And it is an "E Ticket" attraction with real Audio-Animatronic characters, not just a high priced restaurant. (Is Be Our Guest worth the price?
