She offers herself in his place and the monster accepts. When Maurice doesn't return from a trip, Belle searches for and finds him in the hidden palace of a creature who imprisoned him when he sought shelter there. She would be a total outcast if not for her loveliness, and the proud hunter Gaston wants her simply for her beauty as a trophy wife - but she has no interest in an oafish Jerk Jock. Belle is a bookish lass in a rural French village who lives with her genial dad Maurice, who tinkers with various inventions. This retelling of the old fairy tale Beauty and the Beast has Homages to Jean Cocteau's 1946 film, but in its tone diverges from both versions and becomes its own story. Entry #30 in the Disney Animated Canon, from 1991.
