Little girls who are Beauty and the Beast fans are sure to enjoy this delightful program. Kids join Belle and the gang as they prepare for a surprise party for the Beast. The ballroom must be decorated, dances must be choreographed, the table set and so on. Graphics, sounds and games are great. There’s a lot to do and the activities are fun. We especially liked the arcade-style table-setting game where kids must use logic and timing to correctly prepare place settings on a spinning table. Our only complaint centers on the too-chatty characters— kids don’t need that much hand-holding! Fortunately, the spacebar can speed things up by letting you skip unnecessary dialog.
