Belle est jalousée et offensée par ses deux sœurs ridicules. Leur père part en voyage, espérant faire fortune. Il promet à Belle de lui rapporter une rose. Mais lors de son retour, il se perd dans la nuit et trouve refuge dans un étrange château. Le matin, il cueille la fleur promise, sans le savoir, dans le jardin de la Bête.
