(chirping) narrator: once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind. but then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold.
repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. and when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. the prince tried to apologize, but it was too late,
for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. the rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose,
which would bloom until his 21st year. if he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. if not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. (thunder) as the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope,
for who could ever learn to love a beast? (rooster crowing) (birds chirping) ♪ little town, it's a quiet village ♪ every day like the one before ♪ little town, full of little people ♪ waking up to say... ♪ bonjour ♪ there goes the baker with his tray, like always

thank you. (chuckles) thank you, mademoiselle.good show, wasn't it?everyone! (yawning) my goodness,look at the time. now it's off to bed,off to bed. i couldn't possiblygo to bed now. it's my first timein an enchanted castle. enchanted! (laughs) who said anythingabout the castlebeing enchanted? it was you,wasn't it?
i figured it outfor myself. i'd like to look around,if that's all right. would you likea tour? wait a second.wait a second. i'm not sure that'ssuch a good idea. we can't let hergo poking aroundin certain places, if you knowwhat i mean. perhaps you'dlike to take me. i'm sure you knoweverything there is to knowabout the castle.
oh, well. actually, i... yes, i do. as you can see,the pseudo-facadewas stripped away to reveal the minimalistrococo design. note the unusualinverted vaulted ceilings. this is yet another exampleof the late-neoclassicbaroque period. and, as i always say,if it's not baroque,don't fix it. where was i? as you were!
now, then,if i may drawyour attention to the flying buttressesabove the... uh, mademoiselle? what's up there? where? there?oh, nothing. absolutely nothingof interest at allin the west wing. dusty, dull,very boring. ah, so, that'sthe west wing! nice going.
i wonder whathe's hiding up there. (chuckles nervously)hiding? the master ishiding nothing. then itwouldn't be forbidden. (stammering) perhaps mademoiselle would liketo see something else? we have exquisite tapestriesdating all the way back to... maybe later. the gardens. or... or the...the library, perhaps?
you have a library? (chuckles)oh, yes. indeed. with books. scads of books. mountains of books. forests of books. cascades. cloudbursts. swamps of books.
cogsworth: more booksthan you'll ever be ableto read in a lifetime. books on everysubject ever studied by every author who everset pen to paper. oh, oh. why did you come here? i'm... i'm sorry. i warned younever to come here! i didn't mean any harm. do you realizewhat you could have done?
please! stop! get out! no! where are you going? promise or no promise,i can't stay hereanother minute. no, wait, please!please, wait! (exclaims) (screams) (yelping)
(soft groan) here, now.don't do that. (snarls) just hold still. (roars) that hurts! if you'd hold still,it wouldn't hurt as much! well, if you hadn't haverun away, this wouldn'thave happened. if you hadn't frightened me,i wouldn't have run away.
well, youshouldn't have beenin the west wing! well, you should learnto control your temper. now, hold still.this might sting a little. hmm? (grunts) by the way, thank youfor saving my life. you're welcome. d'arque: i don't usuallyleave the asylum in the middleof the night, but he said you'dmake it worth my while.
ah! i'm listening. it's like this. i've got my heart seton marrying belle, but she needsa little persuasion. (snickers)turned him down flat. everyone knowsher father's a lunatic. he was in here tonightraving about a beastin a castle. maurice is harmless.
the point is,belle would do anything to keep him frombeing locked up. (chuckles) yeah,even marry him. so, you want meto throw her fatherinto the asylum, unless she agreesto marry you. that is despicable. (laughs) i love it. if no one will help me,then i'll go back alone. yes, is that everything?
i don't care what it takes. i'll find that castleand somehow, i... i'll get her out of there. (pounding) belle! maurice! oh, well. (laughs) guess it's notgonna work, after all. they have tocome back sometime. and when they do,we'll be ready for them.
lefou, don't movefrom that spot until belle andher father come home. but... but i... ah, nuts. i've never felt this wayabout anyone. i want to dosomething for her. but what? well, there'sthe usual things. flowers, chocolates,promises you don'tintend to keep.
no, no. it has to besomething very special. something thatsparks her interest. wait a minute. belle? there's somethingi want to show you. but first, you haveto close your eyes. it's a surprise. can i open them? no, no. not yet.
wait here. now can i open them? all right. now. belle: i can't believe it. i've never seenso many booksin all my life. you... you like it? it's wonderful. then it's yours. thank you so much.
