Fairy tales, a love story, a beautiful heroine, and a prince in disguise. The year's hottest romance story does not star Hollywood's most famous actors, but its characters are animation's finest. It is the story of a misunderstood French beauty named Belle who is drawn together with a masculine yet sensitive Beast. Fate as well as a little pushing from the enchanted objects draws the couple together and their relationship matures. The movie and the animation were incredibly realistic. My expert opinion concludes that nothing can top the kiss of true love.
