Een prins wordt door een heks door zijn slechte gedrag in een beest veranderd. Om weer een mens te worden moet hij zorgen dat er iemand op hem verliefd wordt. Belle komt in de handen van het Beest en hij houdt haar gevangen. Maar toch bloeit er iets tussen hen op.

The songs are first-class, the tale is told with sincerity but not sentimentality, and the characters of Belle and the Beast, complex individuals who defy stereotyping and change over the course of the story, are more three-dimensional than in most live-action movies. The eye-popping animation is beautifully rendered, and Beauty and the Beast certainly deserves its place amongst Disney's animated classics. In 2002, a special 89-minute edition of the film was released in IMAX theaters with the addition of a newly animated song, ""Human Again.""
