Beauty and the Beast, Disney's 30th feature film, came to theaters on
November 15, 1991.
In a small French village, the beautiful and intelligent Belle ignores her
suitor, the vain and boorish Gaston, as she cares for her father, eccentric
inventor Maurice. On his way to the fair, Maurice stumbles upon a foreboding
castle in the woods, and is thrown into a dungeon by the castle's occupant-a
huge savage beast. Belle comes to rescue her ailing father, and offers to take
his place as the Beast's prisoner. Belle discovers that the castle's house
staff has been transformed into objects by the same magic spell that made
their master a beast. In order to break the spell, the Beast must learn to
love another and be loved in return. As she remains in the castle, Belle and
Beast find their apprehension replaced by affection; but Belle misses her
father, and the Beast reluctantly allows her to leave. Gaston incensed at Belle's
affection for the Beast, leads a mob of townspeople to storm the castle. Belle
rushes back in time to confess her love for the Beast, and the spell is broken.
