Beaches isone of the movies that helped shape the 80’s. The story resonated with men and women everywhere, and brought to the screen a look at friendship we hadn’t seen before. It’s been almost 30 years since the original was released, and now Lionsgate has re-imagined and re-visited this story for a new generation.
Relive the powerful story of lifelong friendship in an all-new remake of the classic movie when Beaches arrives on DVD at Walmart on May 9 from Lionsgate. Tony Award® winner Idina Menzel and NAACP Image Award Winner Nia Long star as two very different women who share an unexpected friendship that, even with its ups and downs, lasts for decades. This new version of the 1988 film includes performances by Menzel of iconic songs from the original movie such as “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “The Glory of Love,” in addition to Menzel’s new original song, “Last Time.” The Beaches DVD will be available at Walmart for the suggested retail price of $14.98.
