NARRATOR:
Once upon a time
in a faraway land
6
00:00:50,797 --> 00:00:54,563
a young prince lived
in a shining castle.
7
00:00:54,634 --> 00:00:58,229
Although he had
everything his heart desired
8
00:00:58,271 --> 00:01:03,334
the prince was spoiled,
selfish and unkind.
9
00:01:03,377 --> 00:01:05,777
But then, one winter's night
10
00:01:05,812 --> 00:01:09,111
an old beggar woman
came to the castle
11
00:01:09,149 --> 00:01:11,743
and offered him a single rose
12
00:01:11,785 --> 00:01:15,516
in return for shelter
from the bitter cold.
13
00:01:15,622 --> 00:01:18,182
Repulsed by
her haggard appearance
14
00:01:18,225 --> 00:01:23,094
the prince sneered at the gift
and turned the old woman away
15
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:27,260
but she warned him not to be
deceived by appearances
16
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:29,393
for beauty is found within
17
00:01:29,436 --> 00:01:31,996
and when he dismissed her again
18
00:01:32,038 --> 00:01:35,007
the old woman's ugliness
melted away
19
00:01:35,041 --> 00:01:37,771
to reveal
a beautiful enchantress.
20
00:01:37,811 --> 00:01:41,303
The prince tried to apologize,
but it was too late
21
00:01:41,381 --> 00:01:45,044
for she had seen that there was
no love in his heart
22
00:01:45,085 --> 00:01:47,781
and as punishment,
she transformed him
23
00:01:47,821 --> 00:01:49,413
into a hideous beast
24
00:01:49,456 --> 00:01:52,721
and placed a powerful spell
on the castle
25
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:54,693
and all who lived there.
26
00:01:54,728 --> 00:01:57,128
Ashamed of his monstrous form
27
00:01:57,164 --> 00:02:00,691
the Beast concealed himself
inside his castle
28
00:02:00,734 --> 00:02:03,794
