Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World is a 1998 direct-to-video animated anthology musical fantasy film, made of episodes produced by Walt Disney Television Animation from a failed Beauty and the Beast television series. It was released on February 17, 1998. As the second sequel to Disney's 1991 animated feature film Beauty and the Beast and the third and final installment in the Beauty and the Beast films, it features the voices of David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth, Robby Benson as The Beast, Gregory Grudt, who replaced Bradley Pierce as Chip Potts, Paige O'Hara as Belle, Anne Rogers, who replaced Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts, and Jerry Orbach as Lumiere. The film features two songs performed by Belle, "Listen With Our Hearts" and "A Little Thought." The film takes place during the song “Something There.”
When first released in 1998, the film consisted of three connected segments, which are "The Perfect Word", "Fifi's Folly" and "The Broken Wing". For the special edition released in 2003, another segment was included, "Mrs. Potts' Party" (from Belle's Tales of Friendship) making the film 22 minutes longer.
