"Beauty and the Beast" is a fairy tale love story written by Madame Beaumont, telling the story of a beautiful girl and a beast. Once upon a time, a wealthy businessman had three daughters, the youngest of whom was the most beautiful and kind. However, the merchant went bankrupt after the ship carrying all his property was wrecked. Later, hearing that a wrecked ship had returned with his cargo, he rushed to the port in high hopes, only to find that the last of his remaining ships had been looted by pirates. On the way home, the poor merchant came to the beast's castle. He plucks a rose as a present for his youngest daughter, Meimei, but annoys the Beast. In the end, he returned home unscathed, promising to send his beautiful young daughter to the Beast in exchange. In order to fulfill her promise, Meimei came to the Beast's castle and fell in love with the Beast because of his beautiful and kind heart, regardless of his ugly appearance. In the end, they live happily together.
Because this fairy tale is deeply loved by people, it has been adapted and interpreted many times abroad. It was made into a film in France in 1946, and was adapted into an animated feature film by the American Disney Animation Company in 1991 and presented to the audience again in 2012 using 3D technology. Also because of Disney's shooting, this fairy tale has become a cash cow in the United States. Therefore, it was adapted into a musical in 1994, and the original animation music was applied, which was performed at the Palace Theatre on Broadway on April 18, 1994. Costume designer Ann Hould-Ward also won the 1994 Tony Award for "Best Costume Design". It was subsequently re-interpreted by Australia and Canada in 2009 and 2012.

Director Christopher Gans, who is good at showing the gorgeous essence of movies through visual effects, uses shocking visual effects to make the audience immersive, as if we follow the female protagonist step by step into the depths of the forest and talk to the beast. The forests, ice, snow and lakes in the film all adopt French romantic techniques, and the animation effects in the film reflect the delicate and real texture of oil paintings everywhere. Through the visual to drive the audience's inner emotions, once again let us experience love and family, understand what is brave and responsible.

    The Merchant: My youngest daughter. She is worth more than anything in the world, to me.
