Belle is trapped in the Beast's castle after her father makes a deal to escape and eventually falls for "the inner man" and releases the Beast from his spell. An enchanting fairy tale for all the family. Once upon a time the beautiful Belle stumbles across someone big, hairy and a little bit scary lurking in the forest.
