A not-so-bad beast
The Beast is one of the main characters of Beauty And The Beast, one of the most popular of the classic Disney cartoons. This story has many versions but this cartoon is most notably adapted from the 18th century version by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince De Beaumont. It tells the story of a young, handsome and arrogant prince who finds himself transformed into a hideous beast by an old woman after he refuses to open the door of her house during a storm. This curse will only be lifted the day he manages to make himself loved in this form. Years later, the castle staff, also under the curse and transformed into various objects, opens the door to a man during a storm. The Beast is ferocious and takes him prisoner. Then his daughter arrives and offers to take her father’s place and become a servant. But Belle is a sweet, intelligent and compassionate young woman and she will eventually become attached to the Beast. From there, the inhabitants of the castle will do everything to bring them together, seeing it as a chance to break the curse.
