In Rococo-era France, a witch disguised as a beggar arrives at a party and offers the host, a cold-
hearted prince, a rose in exchange for shelter.
Prince : "Good evening. What need have you to be here at this time of night?"
Witch : "I don't need anything, Your Highness. I just want to give you this beautiful rose."
Prince : "Forgive me, but I cannot accept any gift from someone I don't know, let alone from
someone like you. Now get out of this palace!"
After being rejected by the prince, she cursed him to become an ugly creature and his servants to
become furniture, and erased the entire palace from the memory of their loved ones.
Witch: "Unexpectedly, I was chased away and rejected so cruelly by you. Well, now and
henceforth I curse you into an ugly creature and your servants into household furniture and I erase
the entire palace from the memory of your loved ones."
She gave the prince a bewitched rose and warned him that if he could not learn to love someone
and be loved back before the last petal fell, he and his servants would never be human again
forever.
Witch: "Until the petals of this rose fall and you still can't learn to love someone and have them
love you back, then no one can remove my curse."
Belle: "Oh, it would be wonderful if adventure could exist every day, even every moment. I can
explore the natural world freely."
While Belle was dreaming, Gaston, an arrogant former soldier was looking for the most beautiful
woman in Villeneuve village.
Gaston: "Excuse me, excuse me. I'm looking for the most beautiful woman in this village." (said
arrogantly)
Gaston: "Oh hello beautiful woman. I'm Gaston. The strongest and handsomest man in this village.
Do you want to be my partner?" (pretentious romantic)
Belle: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be a partner with you. I still have dreams that I haven't
achieved and that's more important than finding a partner."
Maurice: "Oh, it seems that this castle can be my refuge. Wow, are these roses? I hope no one
finds out that I picked it."
Beast: "Rawr, don't pick that flower. It belongs to this castle, and it's not your right to pick it."
At the same time Maurice's horse returned home alone, Belle saw her father's horse and worried
about her father, so she immediately went with her horse to the castle.
She kept walking, until she found an open door leading to the underground, she entered and went
down. There he saw his imprisoned father
Belle: No father, sir, please let my father go! In exchange you can take me! I beg you!
Maurice: No Belle, no
Beast: Alright.
Beast lifted Maurice out of the castle and sent him to his village.
After some time, belle was taken to her room and began to befriend the castle servants who treated
her to a spectacular dinner. But in the middle of the banquet, Belle gets curious and leaves the
banquet to wander around the castle. She wandered towards the west wing of the forbidden area,
Belle walked slowly into the dark room and saw a rose.
But at the same time, Beast came and saw Belle in the room.
When Belle was outside, she got lost and was chased by a wolf. When she was about to be pounced
by the wolf, Beast suddenly came and immediately saved Belle who was scared. Beast's body was
slightly injured because it was bitten by a wolf. Therefore, Beast was immediately taken to the castle
and Belle took care of him there.
Belle: "You're welcome sir, it's my duty, I'd like to apologize for coming into that room"
Meanwhile, her father Maurice, who was in the village of Villeneuve, told the villagers that his
daughter was kidnapped by a beast but no one believed him.
After a few days, the beast got closer to belle, even the beast gave his castle library to belle. one day
belle was just tidying up her books in the library and the beast came...
After a few days Maurice, who was in the village of Villeneuve, kept asking the villagers if his
daughter had been kidnapped by a beast, but there was no answer, so he finally came to ask Gaston
for help.
Maurice: "Gaston, you are my only hope, please, help my daughter who has been kidnapped by a
beast."
Gaston: "What do you mean? Beast doesn't exist in the real world"
Maurice: "There is, believe me, please. Belle, my daughter is there with that beast"
Gaston: "All right, but on one condition, marry your daughter to me."
Maurice: "She's in the old castle at the end of the forest, come on!".
Maurice went with Gaston to the castle. Gaston carried a complete arsenal. After being in front of
the castle gate, Gaston immediately broke through the gate and entered the palace, while his father
waited outside full of worry.
Hearing that Belle had fallen in love with the beast, Gaston was angry.
Belle:NO!!!
