Not sure why this was released three years after the movie. Maybe nobody had ideas for how to make a game out of it, but other Disney films from the time got their game adaptations pretty quickly as far as I know.

Anyway, they probably should have let someone else make it besides Probe Software. This game is not good, though it would admittedly be pretty inoffensive without two key problems. The movement is awkward and honestly pretty bad, with momentum seemingly being all over the place and making precise platforming a major chore. The enemy placement is also really unfair and cheap, right from the beginning to the end of the game.

The end result is pretty shockingly difficult for what you'd expect from a Beauty and the Beast video game adaptation. You'd think parents would get this for their younger kids, maybe in their single digits, likely not somebody who could complete a game this hard let alone pass the first couple of stages. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was that kid.
