I may be giving away my age here, but I remember the original 80's classic, "Beaches" very well. I was a little girl when it came out, and I remember crying my eyes out every time we watched this heartwarming tale of friendship. 

Guess what? "Beaches" has been reimagined for a new generation, and now features the talent of Idina Menzel of Frozen fame, as well as that of the gorgeous Nia Long. 
​
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.
