SYNOPSIS OF BEAUTY & THE BEAST (2017):

In pre-Revolution era-France, an enchantress disguised as a beggar arrives at a ball and offers the host, a cold-hearted prince, a rose for shelter. When he refuses, she transforms him into a monstrous beast and his servants into household objects, and turns the castle into a dark version of its former form, and erases the castle from the memories of their loved ones. She casts a spell on the rose and warns the prince that, unless he learns to love another and earn their love in return before the last petal falls, he and his servants will lose their humanity forever.

Years later, in the village of Villeneuve, Belle dreams of adventure and brushes off advances from Gaston, an arrogant former soldier. Lost in the forest, Belle's father Maurice seeks refuge in the Beast's castle, but the Beast imprisons him for stealing a rose. Belle ventures out in search for him and finds him locked in the castle dungeon. The Beast agrees to let her take Maurice's place, despite her father's objections. Belle befriends the castle's servants, who treat her to a spectacular dinner. When she wanders into the forbidden west wing and finds the rose, the Beast, enraged, scares her into the woods. She is cornered by a pack of wolves, but the Beast rescues her and is injured in the process. A friendship develops as Belle nurses his wounds. 

So what's happening next?

Quite good. I'm not really into beauty and the beast because out of all the princess's story, I like Cinderella more.
