Beauty and the Beast Song Canvas — Tale as Old as Time

A Beauty and the Beast 'Tale as Old as Time' personalized canvas is one of the most-requested Disney wedding canvases we print — hand-stretched in California, lyrics licensed per order, ready to hang.

'Tale as Old as Time' from Beauty and the Beast (1991, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by the late Howard Ashman) is the Disney song that gets requested for vow renewals, 10th anniversaries, and second weddings more than any other. The reason is in the title: it captures love as something ancient, recurring, almost mythological — the kind of love that doesn't begin and end with two specific people but flows through them. Couples who pick this song for their wedding or anniversary canvas tend to be couples who've been through something together and come out the other side. We hand-stretch a personalized canvas with the song title, the chosen lyric line, your names, and your date. Lyrics rights are licensed per order through our Musixmatch partnership, so the legal piece is handled before we print.

Why a Disney song canvas makes a meaningful gift

Howard Ashman, who wrote the lyrics to 'Tale as Old as Time,' died in 1991 just before Beauty and the Beast was released — and that gives the song an additional emotional weight for many couples. It's a song about love that endures, written by someone whose own life was cut short. When couples choose 'Tale as Old as Time' for their first dance or for an anniversary canvas, they're often picking it for its sense of permanence — the idea that love, like the song itself, outlasts the people who first sang it. The melody is built for slow dancing, the typography of the title splits cleanly across a canvas in three short phrases, and the song works as well for a first dance as it does for a 25th-anniversary surprise gift.
