SUMMARY STORY OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

A prince cursed to spend his days as a hideous monster sets out to regain his
humanity by earning a young woman's love.
Having lived a life in selfishness, young Prince Adam is cursed by a mysterious
enchantress to having the appearance of a monstrous beast. His only hope is to
learn to love a young woman and earn her love in return in order to redeem
himself. Ten years later, his chance shows itself when a young maiden named
Belle (Paige O'Hara) offers to take her ill father Maurice's (Rex Everhart's) place as
his prisoner. With help from the castle's enchanted staff, Belle learns to
appreciate her captor and immediately falls in love with him. Back in the village
however, unscrupulous hunter Gaston (Richard White) has his own plans for
Belle.

Prince Adam was cursed to a beast form by an enchantress who saw no love in his
arrogant heart for others. The one way he could break the spell was to learn to
love another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted
rose fell, which would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. But who could ever
learn to love a beast? Ten years later, Maurice (Rex Everhart), an inventor from a
nearby village, becomes lost in the woods and seeks shelter in the Beast's castle,
the Beast (Robbie Benson) imprisons him for trespassing. His daughter Belle
(Paige O'Hara), a bookworm who dreams of life outside her provincial village,
finds him trapped in the castle and offers her place instead. The Beast accepts
with a promise she'll remain in the castle forever. In the beginning Belle views him
as nothing more than a monster, he views her as difficult and stubborn. But the
two soon taste the bitter-sweetness of finding "you can change and learning you
were wrong".
