What is Beauty and the Beast about?

Disney's Beauty and the Beast follows Belle, a bright and independent young woman who feels out of place in her provincial village. When her father is imprisoned in a mysterious castle, Belle takes his place and becomes the captive of a fearsome Beast. Over time, she discovers that the Beast is actually a cursed prince, and the two gradually develop a deep bond. As Belle learns to see beyond appearances, they must overcome fear, prejudice and the scheming Gaston before the curse can be broken through true love.
