Synopsis

Beauty is enamored with a handsome prince whom she saw in an apparition.

Her love draws her to the castle of the unspeakable Beast, which she enters unafraid.

A magic mirror and many other gifts are given her by the Beast.

But it is her final, fearless expression of affection for the Beast that breaks the spell and returns him to the form of the handsome Prince.

A very picturesque and moving version of the famous tale.
