The Review: What sounded great in concept was disappointing in execution. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast must work together to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is twenty-one years in the making. Stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful Enchantress who cursed the Beast, his castle, and all its inhabitants.

And that is her primary concern.īut Belle touches the Beast's enchanted rose, intriguing images flood her mind-images of the mother she believed she would never see again. Belle also happens to be the captive of a terrifying, angry beast. She wants to explore the world, despite her father's reluctance to leave their little cottage in case Belle's mother returns-a mother she barely remembers. She longs to escape her poor provincial town for good. PG: for some violence, some disturbing images, and for politics that turn people violently against a specific class of peopleīelle is a lot of things: smart, resourceful, restless.
