Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is a 15-minute film attraction presented inside the Palais du Cinéma at EPCOT’s France Pavilion. Designed as a lighthearted companion to the pavilion’s longstanding Impressions de France film, the show invites guests to sing along with familiar musical numbers from Disney’s 1991 animated classic, including “Belle,” “Gaston,” “Be Our Guest,” and the title song. Because the attraction has no height requirement and is presented in an air-conditioned theater, it also serves as a convenient low-key break during a day in World Showcase.
The film is not simply an abbreviated screening of Beauty and the Beast. Narrated by Angela Lansbury in her role as Mrs. Potts, it offers a playful revisionist version of the story in which LeFou is revealed to have secretly helped bring Belle and the Beast together. New animated sequences place Gaston’s frequently mistreated sidekick behind several key moments, including Maurice’s arrival at the castle and the romantic ballroom scene. The conceit gives longtime fans something new to watch for, even though its deliberately comic reinterpretation of the original plot has made the show one of EPCOT’s more polarizing additions.
Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along debuted on January 17, 2020, during a period of major changes at EPCOT. It was directed and produced by Don Hahn, who also produced the original animated Beauty and the Beast and its 2017 live-action adaptation. The attraction joined an upgraded 4K presentation of Impressions de France, which has been shown in the same theater since EPCOT Center opened in 1982. Rather than eliminating that opening-day film entirely, Disney scheduled the two productions at different times, with the sing-along typically occupying the daytime schedule and Impressions de France returning in the evening.
The Palais du Cinéma waiting area also includes gallery displays celebrating French literature and its influence on film, theater, ballet, and opera, giving the venue a broader cultural context than the sing-along alone might suggest.
After a temporary refurbishment closure in early 2026, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along reopened in May alongside Impressions de France. Today, it remains a modest but distinctive part of the France Pavilion: accessible, musically familiar, and notable for its unconventional attempt to retell a tale as old as time from an unexpected perspective.
