2016
A selfish Prince is cursed to live as a Beast until he finds true love, while in Villeneuve, Belle yearns for adventure and rejects the arrogant Gaston. Belle trades her freedom for her father's after he is imprisoned by the Beast, leading to an initial clash that evolves into a bond over shared interests. Gaston, enraged by Belle's rejection, incites the villagers to storm the castle, gravely wounding the Beast after he releases Belle to save her father. Belle returns and confesses her love just as the last petal falls, breaking the curse and transforming the Beast back into the Prince, restoring his staff, and leading to a joyous celebration.

But the rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
Belle! Heard you had a little trouble with the headmaster. He never liked me, either. Can I give you a little advice about the villagers, though? They're never going to trust the kind of change we're trying to bring.
She glanced this way / I thought I saw / And when we touched / She didn't shudder at my paw / No, it can't be / I'll just ignore / But then she's never looked at me that way before
What a display! What a breathtaking thrilling array, Every prince, every dog has his day, Let us sing with passion, gusto, Fit to bust - oh, Not a care in the world
Oh... isn't this amazing? It's my favorite part because you'll see, Here's where she meets Prince Charming, But she won't discover that it's him, `Til chapter three
Even back in Paris, I knew a girl who was so different, so daring, so ahead of her time that people mocked her until the day they found themselves imitating her.
New and a bit alarming / Who'd have ever thought that this could be? / True that he's no Prince Charming / But there's something in him that I simply didn't see!
