He is welcomed by living furniture and crockery to welcome him to the master of the house, a trembling roaring beast, locking him into the dark dungeons of the castle. The castle owner, the beast, is not so fond of visitors. Belle discovers the disappearance of her father and finds the castle after a dangerous journey through the forests. The beast decides to release her father on condition that Belle occupies his place and lives voluntarily in the castle. Indeed, without knowing, she can break the curse that rests on the beast.
