A Disney classic that I can never get enough of is Beauty and the Beast. I watched it a countless number of times as a little girl. When I was six, my grandmother made me a beautiful yellow gown so I could dress as Belle on Halloween. I was completely obsessed with it and I still am many year later.

The story is about Prince Adam who was cursed to a beast form by Enchantress who saw no love in his arrogant heart for others. The one way he could break the spell was to learn to love another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted rose fell, which would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. But who could ever learn to love a beast? Ten years later, Maurice, an inventor from a nearby village, becomes lost in the woods and looks for shelter in the Beast's castle, the Beast imprisons him for trespassing. His daughter Belle, a bookworm who dreams of life outside her village, finds him trapped in the castle and offers to switch places. The Beast accepts with a promise she'll remain in the castle forever. In the beginning Belle views him as nothing more than a monster, he views her as difficult and stubborn. But the two soon taste the bitter-sweetness of finding you can change and learning you were wrong.

It is such a beautiful movie and I enjoy it as much now as I did when i was six.
