Beauty and the Beast Review This movie was about a castle that is put under a spell after the prince was cruel to a little old lady that turned out to be a witch in disguise. The prince was given a rose and told that when the last rose petal fell, the spell would last forever. The only way to break the spell was to fall in love. The spell turned everyone in the castle into plates, knives, forks, clocks, ect. Belle meets the prince (aka Beast) when she gets her father out of the castle.
