Since Disney's ^i; "Beauty and the Beast" has been s^' out for two years, it's done some Pa cooling off. On ice, that is. ^e' The latest production of Walt's World on Ice proves once t0 and for all that this version still ^ has what it takes to keep the show fresh and intriguing, even if the audience knows all the ^ dialogue and songs by heart. j0 It's true, this show is reminis- t0 cent of its cinematic counterpart, jy It has the movie's tunes, voices <jii and costumes. In fact, the only thing that isn't prerecorded is the skating. I Fc mean, I haven't seen this much cr lip-syncing since "Puttin' on the na Hits." Of course, this is all to tr< be expected. th After all, we really just want the movie with real people, and es that's exactly what we get.
