SYNOPSIS

Not happy with life in her sleepy French village, Belle loves nothing more than curling up with a good book, but her own life becomes more exciting than the wildest story when she bravely offers to become the prisoner of a horrible Beast in an enchanted castle to spare the life of her father. Life in the castle holds many surprises, including a crew of enchanted household objects like the motherly teapot Mrs. Potts and dashing candlestick Lumiere. Belle discovers that there is more to the fearsome Beast than she can see at first, and it's her handsome suitor Gaston who proves to be the real monster. Only her true love can break the spell that has turned a prince into a Beast, and finally break the curse.
