This is “a tale as old as time”. It is the timeless Disney classic based on the original 1991 animated film that tells the story of true love. Beauty and the Beast teaches that how to love is just as important as being loved. Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial French village, is looking for her passion in life. When her father is held captive in a mysterious castle, Belle’s attempt to rescue him leads to her own capture by the Beast. The Beast is a grisly and fearsome monster who was long ago trapped in his ghastly form by an enchantress. The only way for the Beast to become human once again is if he learns to love and be loved in return. There is a time limit, though: once a magical red rose loses all of its petals, all hope will be lost and he will stay a Beast forever. The Beast’s enchanted household (populated by such beloved characters as Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip, and many more who are also trapped in a variety of non-human forms) watch anxiously as Belle and the Beast grow to understand and know one another. Their feelings grow ever deeper as the clock ticks and petals continue to fall off the enchanted rose--will they confess their love for one another before it is too late?
