Some days ago, WDWNewsToday posted a picture shot during the backlot tour at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The picture was showing what they called a "Massive Beauty and the Beast Statue" and they were wondering if it will go in the Beauty and the Beast area in Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland.
Well, I don't want to be disappointing but, as you can see on the picture above, this Beauty and the Beast statue is in fact coming from the same mold that was used to create the B&B statue that already exist at Hong Kong Disneyland Fantasyland Royal Banquet Hall Restaurant since 2005. It's exactly the same statue, and it's not "massive" as it is about three feet and a half high, approximately. And, yes, there is big chances that the statue will find its place in the Beauty and the Beast restaurant next year.
I've shot the picture last August and it's part of the 200 beautiful HKDL wallpapers pictures of the park that you can find in my HKDL Wallpapers HD application for iPhone - iPad that you can download on the iTunes AppStore HERE.
