Beauty and the Beast (Storyteller)
Lyrics
This is the story of Beauty and the Beast. Let's begin now
Once upon a time, a young prince lived in a shining castle
One cold night, an old beggar woman arrived, offering him a single
Rose in return for shelter from the cold. Repulsed by her
Ugliness, he turned her away. Suddenly she transformed into
A beautiful enchantress. To punish the prince, she turned
Him into a hideous beast. Then she gave him a magic mirror
And the enchanted rose, telling him it would bloom until his
Twenty-first year. To break the spell, he must love another and
Earn that person's love in return before the last petal fell
Nearby, in a small village, a beautiful young woman named
Belle hurried through town. She greeted the townspeople and
Then rushed to her favorite shop, the bookstore. The owner
Gave her a book as a gift. A dreamy look crossed Belle's face
Belle: It's my favorite. Far off places, daring sword fights
Magic spells, a prince in disguise. Oh, thank you very much!
Belle rushed outside, reading as she walked. As Belle
Walked, a handsome hunter named Gaston ran after her
Gaston: Belle, the whole town's talking about you. It's not right
For a woman to read. It's about time you got your nose out of
Those books and paid attention to more important things. Like me
Belle tried to get away without being rude, but Gaston's friend
LeFou, joined them, and began to insult her father, an inventor
Belle: My father's not crazy. He's a genius!
As Belle spoke, an explosion boomed from her
Father's cottage and she took off running
At the cottage, Belle found her father and told
Him what the villagers were saying about her
Belle: They think I'm odd, Papa
Maurice: Don't worry, Belle. My invention's going to change
Everything for us. We won't have to live in this little town forever
Belle's father hitched up their horse, Philippe, and set
Off for the fair with his new invention. Belle waved
Belle: Goodbye, good luck!
But Maurice got lost and accidentally led Philippe into a bleak, misty
Forest. As he paused to get his bearings, Maurice saw two yellow eyes
Staring out of the darkness. It was a wolf. Philippe reared and
Bolted away. Terrified, Maurice ran through the forest
With the wolves racing behind him. When he reached a tall
Heavy gate, Maurice dashed inside, slamming the gate on
The wolf, whose sharp teeth snapped at his leg. Still
Trembling, Maurice turned to see a huge, forbidding castle
Maurice: Hello? I've lost my horse and
I need a place to stay for the night
Jafar: Of course, monsieur, you are welcome here
Maurice whirled round. There was no one in sight. Then he looked down
And saw a mantle clock with a stern, frowning face. Beside him stood
A smiling candelabra. Maurice grabbed the clock and examined it
Maurice: This is impossible! Why, you're alive!
The enchantress had also turned all the prince's servants into
Household objects. As Cogsworth, the mantle clock, protested
Lumiere, the candelabra, showed Maurice into the drawing room
There he met a friendly teapot named Mrs. Potts and her son, a cute
Teacup named Chip. Suddenly the door flew open. A voice boomed
Beast: There's a stranger here!
Maurice jumped out of his chair. In the
Shadows lurked a large, hulking figure
Maurice: Please, I needed a place to stay
Beast: I'll give you a place to stay!
The Beast grabbed Maurice and dragged him out of the room
Back home at the cottage, Belle heard
A knock at the door and opened it
Belle: Gaston. What a pleasant surprise
Gaston: Belle, there's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to
Be in your shoes. Do you know why? Because I want to marry you
Belle: Gaston, I'm speechless. I'm sorry
But, but... I just don't deserve you
As Gaston left, he tripped and fell in the mud. When Belle peeked
Out, she saw that the villagers had gathered in her yard hoping
To see a wedding. The vicar and all Gaston's friends saw him
Humiliated. After the villagers and a very angry Gaston left, Belle
Ran outside to feed the chickens. There she found Philippe, alone
Belle: Philippe, what are you doing here? Where's Papa?
The horse whinnied anxiously. Frightened, Belle leaped onto Philippe
And returned to the mysterious forest. Soon they found the castle
Belle: What is this place?
Belle tried to steady Philippe. Then
She saw Maurice's hat on the ground
Belle hurried inside the gloomy castle and
Wandered down the vast, deserted corridors
Belle: Papa? Are you here? It's Belle
No one replied, but Belle didn't know that the enchanted objects
Had seen her. With joy, Lumiere danced around the mantle clock
Lumiere: Don't you see? She's the one
She has come to break the spell!
Without noticing them, Belle continued to search for her
Father.Finally, Belle discovered Maurice locked in a tower
Papa! We have to get you out of there!
Suddenly, she heard a voice from the shadows
Please, let my father go. Take me instead
You would take his place?
Belle asked the voice to step into the light, and was horrified
When she saw the huge, ugly Beast. To save her father
However, Belle agreed to stay in the Beast's castle forever
The Beast dragged Maurice out of the castle, and threw him into
A carriage that would return him to town. There, the inventor
Stumbled into a tavern where Gaston was surrounded by his friends
Please, I need your help. A horrible
Beast has Belle locked in a dungeon
And did it have cruel, sharp fangs?
One villager sneered. Maurice grabbed the man's coat
Yes, yes! Will you help me out?
We'll help you out, old man!
Gaston and his pals tossed the inventor out of the
Tavern, but Maurice's wild story gave Gaston an idea
At the castle, Belle nervously followed
The Beast upstairs. He paused for a moment
The castle is your home now, so you can go
Anywhere you like, except the west wing
Glaring, the Beast opened the door to her room
You will join me for dinner. That's not a request
After the Beast stomped off, Belle flung herself on the bed
I'll never escape from this prison or see my father again
That night, Belle refused to dine with the Beast. Instead, she
Crept downstairs to the kitchen. All the enchanted objects fed
And entertained her. Then Cogsworth agreed to take her on a tour
Belle halted beneath a darkened staircase
Nothing, absolutely nothing of interest at all in the west wing
But when Cogsworth wasn't looking, Belle slipped away and raced up
The staircase to a long hallway lined with broken mirrors. Belle
Cautiously opened the doors at the end of the corridor and entered a
Dank, filthy room strewn with broken furniture, torn curtains, and
Gray, gnawed bones. The only living object was a rose
Shimmering beneath a glass dome. Entranced, Belle
Lifted the cover and reached out to touch one soft
Pink petal. She did not hear the Beast enter the room
I warned you never to come here!
The Beast advanced on Belle
Terrified by his rage, she turned and ran
Belle rushed past Cogsworth and Lumiere as she fled the castle
Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute
She found Philippe, and they galloped through the snow until they
Met a pack of fierce, hungry wolves. Terrified, the horse reared
And Belle fell to the ground. When Belle tried to defend Philippe
The wolves turned on her, snarling. Suddenly, a large paw pulled
The animals off her. It was the Beast. As Belle struggled to
Her feet, the wolves turned and attacked the Beast, growling
Fiercely. With a ferocious howl, the Beast flung off his attackers
As the surprised wolves ran off into the woods, the Beast collapsed
Wounded. Belle knew that this was her chance to escape, but
When she looked at the fallen Beast, she could not leave him
Here, lean against Philippe. I'll help you back to the castle
Meanwhile, Gaston and LeFou were plotting to have Maurice put into
Monsieur D'Arque's insane asylum unless Belle agreed to marry Gaston
At the castle, Belle cleaned the Beast's wounds and
Thanked him for saving her life. Later, she was quite
Surprised when he showed her a beautiful library
I can't believe it. I've never seen so many books in all my life
The Beast smiled for the first time
That evening, Mrs. Potts and the other objects watched
Belle read a story to the Beast. They were filled with
Hope that the Beast and Belle were falling in love
Gradually, the mood in the castle began to change. Belle and the
Beast read together, dined together, and played together in the
Snow. They even had a snowball fight. When Belle watched the big
Awkward Beast try to feed some birds, she realized that he had
A kind, gentle side to him, something that she hadn't seen before
In turn, the Beast began to hope that Belle would begin to care
For him. He tidied his room, bathed, and dressed up for the
Evening. He was overjoyed when Belle taught him how to dance
That evening, the Beast asked Belle if she was happy
Yes. I only wish I could see my father. I miss him so much
The Beast showed Belle the magic mirror. In it, she saw her
Father lost in the woods, ill from his search for her. When
The Beast saw the unhappy look on Belle's face, he decided
To let her go, even if it meant that he would never be human
Again.Before Belle left, he handed her the magic mirror
Take it with you so you'll always have
A way to look back and remember me
Heartbroken, the Beast watched as Belle rode off on Philippe
When she found her poor father in the forest, Belle brought him home
To their cottage so she could nurse him back to health. But almost as
Soon as they arrived, a tall, thin man knocked on the door. It was
Monsieur D'Arque. He had come to take her father to an insane asylum
Belle blocked the way. LeFou had also convinced
The villagers that Maurice was crazy because he
Was raving like a lunatic about some terrible beast
Gaston put his arm around Belle
I can clear up this little misunderstanding
. If you marry me. Just say yes
I'll never marry you! My father's not crazy! I can prove it!
Belle showed them the Beast in the magic mirror
He's not vicious! He's really kind and gentle
She's as crazy as the old man! I say we kill the Beast!
The mob of villagers locked Belle and her father in the cellar
And stormed the Beast's castle. As the villagers battled
The enchanted objects, Gaston forced the Beast onto the castle
Roof. He clubbed the Beast, who didn't even try to resist
Get up! Or are you too kind and gentle to fight back?
Chip had helped Belle and Maurice escape from the cellar
When the Beast saw Belle, he grabbed Gaston by the throat
But his love for Belle had made him too human. He let Gaston
Go and faced Belle. Without warning, Gaston stabbed the Beast
In the back. The Beast roared. Gaston stepped back and tumbled
Off the roof to his death. Wounded, the Beast gazed at Belle
Before he collapsed. She ran to him and held him in her arms
Suddenly, the rain began to shimmer. Slowly, the Beast
Opened his eyes, and in astonishment, he watched his
Paws transform into hands. He held them out to Belle
Belle hesitated and looked into his eyes
The prince drew her close and kissed her. Then they watched
Happily as Cogsworth, Lumiere, Chip, Mrs. Potts and all
The other servants once again became human. True love
Had finally broken the spell, and everyone danced for joy
