After Alan Menken altered the song to make it work for the Broadway stage version of Beauty and the Beast, the song was worked back into the film. Six minutes of new footage was added between the songs "Something There" and "Beauty and the Beast," most of which is made up of a new musical sequence, "Human Again." This song was written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken for the original version of the film, but cut for continuity purposes.At the end of the "Something There" sequence, the background has been changed from Belle and Beast in front of the fireplace to an empty hallway, and a bit of the character animation has also been altered in this shot.Small details, such as the blood in Beast's wound after his fight with the wolves, were also added. The animation in some of the scenes went back through the clean-up animation department a second time, to correct problems such as wavering lines and missing details, which, while not very noticeable during a traditional 35mm showing of the film, would have been discomforting on a much large IMAX screen.The 2002 Platinum Edition DVD omits the Beast's "stutter" ("You wan-wanna stay in the tower?").The 2002 Platinum Edition DVD omits this credit and the Walt Disney Pictures Presents credit stays on screen. The "In Association with Silver Screen Partners IV" credit is replaced with "The Special Edition Of-" on the opening title sequence.The following changes were made to the film for this release:

This film was re-released in IMAX and other large format theaters on January 1, 2002.
