This straight-to-video animated story is set in the Beast's castle which, as viewers know from the original Beauty and the Beast film, is under a spell until the Beast can learn to love. Starting with this familiar premise, Belle's Magical World plummets into three disjointed episodes surrounding Belle's life as a captive in the castle. In "The Perfect World," a misunderstanding of words erupts between Belle and Beast, made worse by a feigned apology. Fifi and Lumiere take the spotlight in "Fifi's Folly," when a romantic evening together becomes a chilling adventure inside a runaway sleigh. In "The Broken Wing," Belle entreats the Beast to act kindly toward a tiny songbird. Each tale offers a diluted moral message, yet the entire effort feels contrived and confusing, a ploy by the folks at Disney to add cash to their coffers by exploiting the popularity of the original motion picture classic.

beauty nand the beast

my three year old daughter loves anything to do with Belle so she really enjoyed the movie

Good dvd

The dvd is not available at stores. Great to find it on line for my niece

Great kids movie

I bought this movie for my two girls ages 2 and 5. They LOVE it. They are very into the princesses and have seen every princess movie TONS of times. This movie is composed of a couple of short stories based on the original. Characters are true w/ their true voices. Very cute and enjoyable.

Good for little kids

Please keep in mind that this isn't a DVD for adults who enjoyed the original "Beauty and the Beast" on an adult level. It's made for kids and it works for kids - especially little girls who can't get enough of Belle.

A few other reviewers have commented that the Beast was too scary in the last cartoon, where he keeps a little bird in a cage. Personally, we didn't think the Beast was scary. In fact, he acted a lot like a little kid having a temper tantrum, and our daughter thought he was funny. But, a word of caution: after the Beast finally set the bird free, our two-year-old decided to emancipate our pet bird, and became upset when she couldn't. So pet-owning parents should be prepared to have a long talk after viewing.

On the whole, our daughter finds "Belle's Magical World" entertaining and, while it's not our favorite thing to watch, it was worth the price.
