prologue - various artists[00:00:01]
once upon a time, in a faraway land[00:00:33]
a young prince lived in a shining castle[00:00:36]
although he had everything his heart desired[00:00:39]
the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind[00:00:42]
but then, one winter's night[00:00:47]
an old beggar woman came to the castle[00:00:49]
and offered him a single rose[00:00:52]
in return for shelter from the bitter cold.[00:00:54]
repulsed by her haggard appearance,[00:00:58]
the prince sneered at the gift[00:01:00]
and turned the old woman away[00:01:02]
but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances[00:01:05]
for beauty is found within[00:01:08]
and when he dismissed her again[00:01:12]
the old woman's ugliness melted away[00:01:14]
to reveal a beautiful enchantress[00:01:17]
the prince tried to apologize, but it was too late[00:01:20]
for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.[00:01:24]
and as punishment,[00:01:27]
she transformed him into a hideous beast[00:01:29]
and placed a powerful spell on the castle[00:01:32]
and all who lived there.[00:01:35]
ashamed of his monstrous form,[00:01:38]
the beast concealed himself inside his castle,[00:01:41]
with a magic mirror as his[00:01:44]
only window to the outside world.[00:01:45]
the rose she had offered,[00:01:49]
was truly an enchanted rose,[00:01:51]
which would bloom for many years.[00:01:54]
if he could learn to love another,[00:01:58]
and earn her love in return[00:02:00]
by the time the last petal fell,[00:02:02]
then the spell would be broken.[00:02:05]
if not, he would be doomed to remain a beast[00:02:07]
for all time.[00:02:11]
as the years passed,[00:02:15]
he fell into despair, and lost all hope,[00:02:17]
for who could ever learn to love...a beast[00:02:21]
