Disney Beauty and the Beast Jr tells the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed back into a Prince. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
