How long is Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast, rounded to the nearest minute?

The story behind the answer

Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast has a running time of 84 minutes.

The feature tells Belle's story through a compact structure: her life in the provincial town, her father's imprisonment at the castle, the developing relationship with the Beast, and the final transformation. Musical sequences such as “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast” are integrated into that relatively short runtime.

The film was produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released theatrically in November 1991. Its 84-minute length is the standard runtime listed for the original animated feature, not the longer special editions or home-video presentations that may include additional material.

Runtime figures can vary slightly between databases because some listings include distributor logos, previews or bonus footage. The feature itself is generally cited as 84 minutes, making that the canonical answer for the 1991 film.
