While some people don\u2019t mind or even enjoy these changes, for others, the original cut is worth a hefty price tag. This translates to listings on eBay for certain tapes at astronomical prices, like one particular Beauty and the Beast tape going for $9,999. The original Beauty and the Beast did not include the song \u201cHuman Again\u201d; it was cut for space reasons, then re-added to the 2002 special edition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1537\" src=\"https:\/\/newsdelivered.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-24-at-12.12.31-PM.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsdelivered.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-24-at-12.12.31-PM.png 322w, https:\/\/newsdelivered.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-04-24-at-12.12.31-PM-256x300.png 256w\" alt=\"\" width=\"322\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, Disney tapes in particular might be valuable to collectors for other reasons.
