Beauty and the Beast

A young selfish prince has been turned into a Beast by an Enchantress for refusing to give her shelter and his servants have been turned into household objects. In order for the curse to be lifted, the Beast must learn to love and earn that person's love in return before the last petal falls, but if he fails to love someone his curse will be permanent. Belle is a young village book-worm, she has lost her mother when she was a baby and she is living with her widowed father, Maurice. Belle longs for a more better life away from the small village. Matters soon become worse, when Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast for supposedly stealing from him. Belle takes her father's place as the Beast's prisoner. Belle soon learns from the servants about how the Prince was very kind, but after his mother died from an illness, his abusive father raised his son to be selfish. Belle decides to help the servants lift the curse and help the Beast learn to be compassionate towards others. As days begin to pass, Belle starts to fall in love with the Beast, but her love for the prince will ultimately lead her into a conflict with Gaston, an arrogant soldier and hunter, who wants to marry Belle.
