In Disney's live-action film "Beauty and the Beast," Belle, a bright,
beautiful, and independent young woman, is taken prisoner by a beast in
his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted
staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize
the kind heart and soul of the true Prince inside. Dark, cool, muted
colors show the Beast's pessimistic view of the world in this full-color
manga-style graphic novel, which explores the Beast's struggle as he
tries to move on from his past and learn what it is to love.
