The more things change… Back in 1991, Celine Dion teamed with Peabo Bryson to sing the theme song for the Disney animated movie “Beauty And The Beast,” and it earned a Grammy nomination and Oscar win. Now over twenty-five years later, Dion is back with a new, original song for the live action movie, with the mouse house clearly hoping to recreate some movie magic.
