Beauty and the Beast | Full Story for Kids & Parents 🌹✨

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a handsome prince who had everything his heart desired.

Except kindness.

Perfection, as always.

One cold winter night, an old woman came to the castle door, asking for shelter.

There's a woman outside who wants to see you, your highness.

Please, kind sir, shelter me from the cold, and I shall give you this rose in return.

A rose for a place at my table?

Take your petals and beg elsewhere.

Suddenly, the old woman transformed into a beautiful enchantress.

Because you cannot see beauty within, you shall live as the monster you are inside.

The prince turned into a fearsome beast, and all his servants became living household objects that could talk and move.

The red rose she had offered became enchanted if he did not find true love before the last petal fell, he would remain a beast forever.

In a nearby village lived a kind and curious girl named Belle.

Belle was different from everyone else.

She loved books, stories, and adventure.

The townspeople whispered that she was strange, however they'd calling her the beauty.

She's a sweet girl, but strange, always lost in her pages.

Ha.

Perhaps it's the stories that truly understand me.

Belle dearly loved her father Maurice, a gentle and eccentric inventor.

Almost perfect, almost.

Ha ha ha.

What's happening here, Dad?

Nothing, my dear, every great inventor needs a little chaos.

Look, Belle, my latest masterpiece, it's going to change everything.

It's wonderful, Papa, truly wonderful.

To the fair in the next town, and when I return, perhaps we'll celebrate with one of your stories.

Just promise me you won't get lost this time, Papa.

Promise, my dear.

Maurice set out through the forest to showcase his new invention in another town, but he lost his way among the rain and mist.

He stumbled upon a great dark castle and went inside to take shelter, unaware that it was the Beast's castle.

Hello, is someone there?

Bienvenue, Monsieur, a visitor.

Oh, what a delight!

Lumiere, we shouldn't be talking to strangers.

The Beast learned that a stranger had entered his home.

He flew into a rage.

Who dares enter my castle?

I'm lost, I meant no harm.

You'll pay for your trespass.

No, no, please, let me go.

When Belle discovered her father's disappearance, she rode through the forest and reached the castle.

Father?

Where are you?

Father!

Father, are you here?

Belle!

No, go back, please.

They've locked you up, what kind of monster would do this?

I would, he trespassed.

He was lost and freezing, please, let him go, take me instead.

You would take his place?

He's my father, I'll stay if you release him.

So be it.

The Beast agreed, freeing her father, and from that moment, Belle's greatest adventure began.

At first Belle was frightened and sad.

But as days passed, she discovered the castle was full of magical talking objects.

Belle stepped into a hidden chamber, a library larger than anything she had ever seen, endless shelves and thousands upon thousands of books filled every corner.

You like to read?

More than anything, it's how I visit worlds I may never see.

Slowly, the Beast began to change.

Little by little, they laughed together, talked for hours, and something new began to bloom, the feeling of love.

You were hidden in the shadow, but I see your heart's true light, every step we take together, turns the darkness into bright.

I thought love was not for me, just a tale from someone's book.

But you showed me I was wrong, with just one gentle look.

The next morning Belle was very sad.

What's the matter, dear, you look so sad.

I long to see my father again, please let me go only for a week to see him.

I, I promise to come back.

Beauty.

Isn't because you hate me that you want to escape?

No, it's not that, I do not hate you and I should be very sorry to leave you for some time.

I cannot refuse you anything you ask, even though it should cost me my life.

If you do not come in good time, you will find me dead.

Oh, dear.

I'll never let this happen.

You are always kind to me.

You will not need any chariot to travel.

Wear this ring.

And sleep peacefully.

And you shall see your father when you wake up.

Oh, really?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

And when you wish to come back, remove this ring from your finger.

And you will find yourself in the palace again.

Good night, Beauty.

And thank you for your kindness.

For the first time, the Beast thought of someone else's happiness before his own.

Beauty hastened to sleep. The next morning she found herself in her own house's bed.

She rushed to find her father.

He hugged her so tightly and started crying with happiness.

Oh, Beauty, I was so worried for you.

I missed you very much, dear.

I missed you too, my father, so much.

Belle told her father about the Beast's kindness.

A week slipped by and Beauty forgot all about returning to the castle.

Until one night she dreamed that the Beast was lying on the ground, dying.

Beauty was so terrified by this dream.

She removed her ring.

Then she fell asleep instantly.

And woke up in the Beast's palace.

She rushed to this spot where she had seen the Beast dying.

The Beast was still there and wasn't moving much.

No, please, don't leave me.

It's my fault to leave you alone, dear.

But then, looking at him again, Belle realized he was still breathing.

Hastily fetching some water, she sprinkled it over his face, and to her great delight, he began to rave.

Oh, dear, how you frightened me.

I never knew how much I loved you until just now.

When I feared I was too late to save your life.

Can you truly love such an ugly creature as I am?

Yes, I do, I see you have a kind and gentle heart, and that is more than I could ever ask for in this life.

Beauty, will you marry me?

Yes.

As soon as Beauty spoke, the Beast gets covered in a blinding light.

And then floats into the air and descends back again as the charming prince.

All the servants turned back into people.

The enchanted rose glowed brightly now a symbol of eternal love.

Oh, Beauty, my sweet Beauty.

Thank you for releasing me from a terrible curse.

A woman I refused to let stay overnight in the palace cursed me until I learned to love and to be loved in return.

But you have broken the curse with your true love.

Oh, I can't believe what is happening now.

Am I dreaming?

It's not a dream, you are my real prince, my true love.

And from that day on, the Prince and Belle lived in true happiness, teaching the world that real beauty lies within the heart, not in appearances.
