Beauty and the Beast (re-release)

During a grand ball, a self-centered prince encounters an enchantress disguised as a beggar woman. When he cruelly rejects her offer of an enchanted rose, she reveals her true form and casts a spell, transforming him into a beast and cursing his loyal servants.

In a nearby village, Belle, the bookish daughter of Maurice, dreams of adventure while fending off the advances of Gaston, an arrogant hunter. Her dissatisfaction with village life grows as she seeks something beyond the mundane.

One day, Maurice loses his way in the forest while trying to return home. Seeking refuge, he stumbles upon the Beast's enchanted castle, where he inadvertently takes a rose from the garden, leading to dire consequences.

After Maurice is imprisoned for stealing a rose, Belle learns of his predicament and bravely offers to take his place as the Beast's captive. This selfless act marks the beginning of a profound journey between her and the Beast.

Belle meets the enchanted servants of the Beast, including Lumière, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts. They help her adjust to her new life in the castle, providing warmth and companionship amidst the grim circumstances.

When Belle attempts to flee the castle, she is ambushed by a pack of wolves. The Beast arrives just in time to rescue her, sustaining injuries in the process and marking a pivotal moment in their relationship.

As Belle tends to the Beast's wounds, a fragile connection begins to form between them. This moment of vulnerability opens the door for deeper understanding and emotional growth on both sides.

Using an incredible book gifted by the Beast, Belle travels to her childhood home in Paris. There, she confronts painful memories of her mother’s death from the bubonic plague, which deepens her understanding of loss.

In the village, Maurice tries to warn the townsfolk about the Beast, but his claims are met with disbelief. Gaston eventually exploits Maurice's vulnerability, leading to a dangerous confrontation instead of support.

After learning about her father’s imprisonment, Belle rushes back and uses a magic mirror to reveal the Beast to the villagers. This act confirms Maurice's sanity and stirs a mix of fear and disbelief among the townsfolk.

Seeing Belle's growing affection for the Beast, Gaston becomes enraged and attempts to force Belle into submission. He moves to rally the town's men against the Beast, showcasing his possessiveness and jealousy.

A fierce confrontation arises when Gaston faces the despondent Beast. Belle's return breathes new strength into the Beast, who spares Gaston's life, although Gaston’s furious retaliation results in catastrophic consequences.

Just as the last petal falls from the enchanted rose, Belle confesses her love for the Beast in a moment of sheer desperation. This heartfelt declaration breaks the curse, leading to a miraculous transformation for the Beast.

Agathe, revealed as the enchantress, lifts the curse that held the Beast and his servants captive. They are all restored to their true forms, and the villagers regain their lost memories, marking a resurrection of hope.

Belle and the prince, now free from the curse, host a magnificent ball for the entire kingdom. This celebration symbolizes their newfound happiness and the restoration of joy to both the castle and the village.
