Beauty And The Beast
Disney Movie Collection by Mail

Walt Disney pictures' adaptation of this classic French fairy tale follows the adventures of belle, a bright and beautiful young woman living in a small French village during the late 18th century. Belle finds escape from her ordinary provincial life -- and the relentless advances of a handsome but boorish suitor, Gaston -- by reading books. When her inventor father stumbles onto the castle of a hideous beast and is taken prisoner, Belle comes to the rescue and agrees to take her father's place. With the assistance of the castle's enchanted staff -- a teapot, a candelabra and a mantel clock, among others -- she soon learns to see beneath the beast's exterior to discover the heart and soul of a human prince. Mean- while, consumed by rejection and jealousy, Gaston reveals that he has the heart of a beast and leads a mob to the castle for a climactic confrontation.
