Back in 1991, an animated film called Beauty and the Beast brought to the eye of the public the romantic fantasy musical story of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s fairy tale.

The Plot
Belle is the female lead of this fairy tale. A young and beautiful woman who’s taken prisoner by Beast, a real beast who lives in a grandiose castle. Despite his looks and all the frighthe brings to the village, Belle manages to win his trust, to consider him a friend, looking beyond the Beast’s appearance and being able to recognize his pure heart. A heart of the human Prince he was once. But the villagers don’t think the same as Belle and they want to hunt the Beast at any cost. It is the typical story of the short minded people who get scared of what they do not understand. But in the end, it's a love story with a happy end and we can't get enough of it.
