"beauty and the beast: original motion picture soundtrack" continues to be best remembered for spawning the dion-bryson single, which established itself as an instant classic. the success of song is believed to have established dion as a bankable recording artist. before agreeing to record "beauty and the beast", dion had been fired from recording the theme song of "an american tail: fievel goes west" in favor of the more well-known linda ronstadt. although both singles were released around the same time, the success of dion's song ultimately eclipsed ronstadt's "dreams to dream". biography.com referred to "beauty and the beast" as dion's "real breakthrough into pop music stardom". according to lifetime, the song "cemented her international success," while "people" wrote that the release of "beauty and the beast" is when the singer truly went "global". in the wake of "beauty and the beast"'s success, young fans who had not yet learned dion's name would simply refer to her as "beauty and the beast". the commercial success of "beauty and the beast" ultimately earned dion a $10 million recording contract with sony music international; the song was then included on dion's successful self-titled studio album, serving as the record's "cornerstone". american musician prince was so moved by dion's performance on "beauty and the beast" after hearing it on the radio that he personally wrote a song for her to include on the album. according to filmtracks.com, "beauty and the beast" offered "a glimpse at a forthcoming mega-movie song presence for celine dion". evidently, the singer has since recorded the theme songs of several blockbuster films, including "when i fall in love" from "sleepless in seattle" (1993), "because you loved me" from "up close & personal" (1996) and finally her signature song "my heart will go on" from "titanic" (1997). "beauty and the beast" has since appeared on several of dion's greatest hits albums, while the singer has returned to disney as a special guest to host various segments for certain "beauty and the beast" re-releases.
