<P> The song was originally written for the 1991 film, but was cut due to pacing issues and its length . It was included in the 1994 Broadway musical, and was brought back for the 2002 DVD release of the film . </P> <P> Don Hahn explained: "Kirk and Gary and I were sitting around talking about the Star Wars Special Edition that had just come out and Kirk jokingly suggested,' wouldn't it be fun to do a special edition of Beauty with Human Again or new material in it?' When the head of Feature Animation said he thought it was a great idea, we stopped joking and began thinking about how we could actually do it . We had storyboarded the sequence for the original production, but completely reworked it for this special edition of the film ." </P> <P> Kirk Wise (who directed the original film) also directed the reanimated sequence, with co-director of Beauty and the Beast Gary Trousdale . Wise explained, "we had many of the same animators, same background painters, same artists that worked on the sequence". </P> <P> Show Biz Training describes the song as a "beautiful waltz". </P>
