A prince is turned into a hideous beast due to his stubborn pride and his whole castle is placed under a spell.  In order to break it he must learn to love and earn the love of another.
Belle is a beautiful young woman whom he is holding captive in his enchanted castle.  She hates him for keeping her locked up.
The beast must earn Belle's love befor the last petal falls from the enchanted rose or else the spell can never be broken.
This is just a great story and Disney made an awesome movie out of it
Belle and Beast are both great characters.  They are drawn beautifully and brought to life by voices that suite them perfectly.

The sidekicks in this movie are the best.  They are the perfect personality mix.  Somehow, the sidekicks always manage to steal the show, and Beauty and the Beast is no different.
And as always, Gaston is the villian you love to hate.  He's so arrogant and mean you can't help but despise him.  But his sidekick, LaFou was rather annoying.
And then there's Belle's father the quirky, yet brilliant inventor.  He is an adorable little character that you just have to love.
